Grabbed a to go order for lunch one day. The order was accurate and pick up was easy. Portions were generous and filling. The wedge salad was very good. Definitely will be heading here again.

Food was average. Nothing special. Overpriced. Got home and looked at what seemed to be an extremely old piece of cheesecake. The strawberry topping looks like preserves and its so old the the red from the top has stained the top half of the cheesecake. One cocktail, one soda, a club sandwich, salmon and cheesecheese cake at $80.

Hostess never told anyone we’d been seated. 20 minutes went by before a very sweet waitress passed through, noticed, and took care of us. My burger was a 10/10. My husband’s chicken caprese was flavorless, the mashed potatoes had been warmed in the microwave and had cold spots, and several of the asparagus sprigs weren’t fully cooked. The waitress was amazing at least. Unfortunately not worth coming back to.

I just don’t get the hype about this place. Went in, had reservations, they tried to call back and cancel them saying they were to fill, but when we actually sat there were a lot of open tables. Sat at the bar, that was fine. But the dinning was such an experience. We got a waitress that I don’t know, had something against one of us, or maybe it was that we brought a disabled kid in. I actually don’t know but it sucked. Sat us, waited 40min to give us water and take our order. I had to ask for my water to be refilled, my cousin has to ask for her drink 3 times. The waitress did not tell us the specials, we had to ask about the soup of the day, she was irritated that we asked what dressing for salad they had. The food came out in two runs, maybe 10min between, she put a piping hot plate of chicken fingers in front of a child and didn’t warn anyone at how hot the plate was. We had to ask for to go containers twice, and then she didn’t bring enough. The food was just ok. Nothing special. And for the high price I would say a disappointment. The dining area was so loud, they could really use foam under their tables. Oh and the bathroom stall doors were gross! I will not be going back. It’s to expensive for the experience.

Wife and I were in Syracuse for the university winter of 2024,25 and I found this place by accident. Class act, wonderful service as well. All four of are party from my wife and my two teenagers daughters were smitten with the food service and atmosphere.

Im not sure what to think. Is it a fancy place trying to be casual? A casual place trying to be fancy? None of the above?
Came here with friends. Im not a local but they suggested it. The parking lot is not huge, and was very tight. And seems like a lot of the patrons drove there while blindfolded. It was impossible to drive a pickup through the lot to find a space, pretty sure I parked on the lawn. Who knows, seemed like a parking free for all.
I was wearing khakis and a polo. When I walked in I felt underdressed, and continued to feel that way until a group of construction workers sat at the next table.
With reservations I was seated promptly. I dont think walk-in is advised.
Drink service was crazy slow. I was the first in our party to arrive, and it still took about 15 minutes after I ordered to get my drink, an Arnold Palmer with no booze.
Server was incredibly polite throughout, but I had to ask for a second drink 3 times before I got it.
I had turkey & wild rice soup for dinner and it was delicious.
People atthe table next to us were celebrating an adults birthday and were having a grand time. Pretty sure there was a table with a couple who were newly married. Well rou ded groups.
My total was about $25. Seemed high. I never really got comfortable and probably won’t be back.

Guys. I don’t normally write reviews because, like ugh I don’t have time. But this place is worth the hype. I got the yuzu drink and it tasted like lemonade but I’m pretty hammered right now so there was a lot more than lemon aid goin on with it. We also got the nachos with steak and let’s begin with that: the chips were crispy and flavorful, the cheese was layered with flavors, like I can’t even describe it, the JALEPENOS!! Idk if they make their own but they were pickled but not soft, crisp with a lovely tang and heat. The STEAK, was so good I was picking it out just to taste it. Even the tomatoes had this lovely seasoned-ness. Amazing. Then I got the corn beef sliders with SWEET POTATO FRIES. I can’t. The fries might be one of the top ones things I ever put in my mouth. They ate crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and they come with maple butter OMG. The sliders were hot and tender, not at all dry, and the buns were perfectly soft. The serving staff was friendly and professional. The only thing I will say is that as a short girlie the chairs are not great. Too tall and narrow so you can’t touch the floor or curl up comfortably. But have a couple yuzus and you won’t care! Eat here. Just do it.

A pleasant place to come to eat. The food and drinks were very good. We did not have to wait to be seated but to get a table you can make reservations. The wait staff were prompt and professional. When you come to this place I recommend their coconut shrimp and their mozzarella wedges for appetizers. The pizza selection is also very good and I recommend the veggie pizza and the house pizza. Overall this place has a nice vibe to it and I will be back to try out some more things on the menu.

We were up from Texas, stopped here for lunch and it did not disappoint! Excellent beer and food! Asked for the bar area, lighting and vibe was great overall. Greg was very informative and didn’t lead us wrong.

We had the most wonderful experience at The Preserve today.
We visited from Canada and decided we’d go here for the first time based on other reviews.
We arrived around 12pm and had no wait for a table. The waitress we had was very friendly and asked us what else we had been doing during our day in Syracuse.
The wait for our food was very reasonable and we both loved our dishes. We ordered the turkey club and a cheeseburger. The bread and bun were fresh and the meat was flavourful.
My burger was cooked to perfection and I hear the turkey club was the best one ever!
We really enjoyed the fries we had on the side as well.
We will 100% be back during our next visit to The Salt City!
