Phoebe's Restaurant & Coffee Lounge 900 East Genesee Street, Syracuse, NY 13244

"I went here for coffee and stayed for the food. To my surprise l, Alice knew how to make the elusive Cortado and it was excellent. Ciarra also provided excellent service. The special of Chicken/Broccoli Alfredo was a great choice. The size was a little small even for lunch, but had perfectly al dente and colorful broccoli, pasta was cooked nicely too. Not overly salted with a smooth and creamy sauce. I came back a month later and got the lunch burger. 8oz seemed small but it was very filling. I wasn’t sure about marscapone cheese so changed it out. Loved the flaky salt on the fries too. Looking forward to being in town again to try even more menu items."

"We had our company Holiday party at Phoebe’s last night and it was wonderful. The venue was beautiful and perfectly decorated for the Holidays. The wait staff were so friendly and accommodating, we never lacked for anything. The food was delicious and we were able to custom make a menus for our group very easily that accommodated our vegetarian and vegan staff too. Highly recommend Phoebes for your group outings! Thank you!"

"Phoebe’s is warm and cozy with a great view. The interior is inviting with lush green plants and red brick walls. The servers are friendly and attentive. The Sandwich was dry and the fries were on the salty side. This was the best hot chocolate I’ve had in Syracuse."

"In Syracuse and it's my birthday! Lived here for 14 yrs and I never went to Phoebe's. Service was some of the best I've had ever. No long pauses between drinks soup appetizers and entree. No rush to leave either! I ordered the soup of the day which was New England clam chowder and it was outstanding. Lots of clams, my husband ordered the sweet potato soup and being the meat and potato man that he is he surprisingly loved it. We also had the duck wonton for appetizers the sauce was sweet and spicy and very good. My husband and son had the special of quail. Though they said it was very good, generally an entree of quail contains 2 quail as they are small. It was well cooked. I had the autumn shrimp and I chose the smaller plate. I've never had fall spiced shrimp seasoned with nutmeg, all spice & cinnamon. Little different than I am accustomed to but I knew it would be! I ate all the shrimp but not all the vanilla jasmine rice. Definitely would go again next time in Syracuse."

"This is such a cute and cozy place for a nice lunch. The architecture in this building is spectacular with such beautiful old details. The hubby was flying out to South Carolina for business so we decided to enjoy a lunch date with some drinks before he had to leave for the week. Phoebe's was the perfect choice. We started with the flat bread, the citrus goat cheese on this was amazing. I do think this needed a hot honey drizzle or a white balsamic drizzle to break up the richness of this dish but that's just an opinion it was still delicious. For drinks I got an espresso martini and the he got a spicy margarita they were both okay drinks but nothing spectacular. For lunch we got the quiche and the daily special of short ribs over penne pasta. The quiche was cooked perfectly so velvety and creamy. The short rib was nice and fork tender. The sauce on the pasta was a little thick and sperated but still had good flavor. For desert we got the creme brulee and flourless chocolate cake. The chocolate cake was kinda dry and the apricot sauce had no flavor so we definitely enjoyed the creme brulee more. In all a good meal and a hubby full of delicious food for his flight. I look forward to returning and trying out dinner one day."
