Great find... we tried some of the specials and ordered off the menu... all items were great... local flare with traditional favorites.

Pretty decent food, great atmosphere! Clam soup had too many potatoes and not many clams. The spicy cheese curds were great! Humus was amazing. Our waitress was fantastic! Also had a great passion fruit something that was alcoholic and tasty. Drink portion was very generous.

Fantastic food, atmosphere. Nice bar and restaurant sitting area. They got a good local craft beer selection and full bar. Very good menu. Your average meal will cost you between 25 and $35 per entree

Great place. Stopped in for coffee and breakfast. Ended up coming back for French onion soup best in upstate NY.

Had a birthday party in the parlor, it was amazing. Shout out to Emily who took care of us. It was a great time and no complaints about the food or drinks. I look forward to planning another even there in the future.

Went to Phoebe's after a show at the Syracuse Stage. My wife and I always go for drinks after. The atmosphere is bright and pleasant, crisp with an old comfortable feel. My wife and I split some starters, both the Fried Calamari and Warm Tomato Caprese Dip were very good. My only complaint was that the Dip only came with about 4 or 5 small pieces of bread, which was less than adequate to finish off the dip (maybe half and that was with large amounts of dip on each piece of bread). Who wants to eat straight dip with a spoon?? not me...more bread please! Otherwise it was enjoyable and affordable.

JMO….French onion soup was charred and burnt on top not the browned and melty I’m used to. Broth was good. The chicken Caesar salad was good, the Gnocchi was tough, chewy, and dense so probably frozen. The vodka sauce was good just needed more.

My recent visit at Phoebe’s for dinner was very disappointing from the point of view of food. I have patronized this restaurant for many years and was never disappointed, until this last visit. I had the swordfish, which was on the regular dinner menu. Although the slice of fish was good in itself—it was fresh and wasn’t over cooked—, everything that came with it was quite awful. The caper sauce had more (raw) onions than capers and tasted of vinegar; it overwhelmed the fish, even after scraping off the sauce. The broccoli was so oversalted that it was barely edible. The worst part was the rice, which was mushy like porridge and came in clumps. It was probably precooked and warmed up in the microwave. Overall, one of my worst dining experiences in Syracuse, and certainly at Phoebe’s.Vegetarian options: There are some cooked options, and the salads are usually very good.Parking: I am not sure about availability of parking space in the adjacent parking lot if you don’t have an affiliation with Syracuse University, but there is metered street parking nearby. If you do have an SU permit, you can park in the lot.

We were sat in the porch area with all the windows. It was perfect. Food was good. Service was great. Try the crem brulee! The atmosphere and decor is beautiful. I left my purse there and went back and it was safe behind the bar waiting for me. Great spot for a drink, date night or hang with friends.

Always such a treat to go to Phoebe's when we visit Syracuse. We started coming years ago when our oldest was active in the SU acting program. It's the perfect spot near the Syracuse Stage. We were thrilled to know this treasure so we could return with our youngest son. We were grateful they could accommodate a big enough table for all his close college pals. The food was incredible and a special place to gather. Thank you to all who made it a perfect night.

Service was great! Me and the Misses shared a lovely evening in a quite large dining area, complete with brick accents and a quiet setting. We ordered: Full Wedge salad [4/5] - salad was not anything special, classic iceberg with a smooth blue cheese and large cuts of bacon and grape tomatoes. Calamari [3/5] - again, nothing special, sauce was similar to marinara and pre-packaged sweet and spicy sauce, calamari was barely seasoned Pear and Swiss sandwich [3/5] - bread was dense, chicken was juicy but lacked flavor, cheese was perfectly melty, fries were EXCELLENT - would recommend a toasted ciabatta with a pear compote, grilled pears, a grilled chicken with smoky seasonings, and a balsamic tossed arugula for flavor complexity Jumbo Scallops and Gnocchi [2/5] - extremely salty to the point where it was difficult to eat. Despite this, scallops were cooked almost perfect. Gnocchi was chewy and unsatisfying. - would recommend reducing pancetta, cooking scallops in pancetta grease and butter so fat can cut thru sodium, going heavier on cream in vodka sauce and removing pesto. Shaved brussels were a great addition for texture and could have been fried with panko in oven to get extra crisp Drinks: Cucumber 75 [4/5] - delicate but very sweet Pearsecco [4/5] -tasty but would've liked the rosemary to have shined a tad more (thru muddling)

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. It's been many years since we've eaten at Phoebe's mainly because we don't go out much with our kids. We were reminded of how much we enjoy it here and it was very accommodating for our children.

We have made several visits to Phoebe's and have never been disappointed. The atmosphere is nice and the service is always impeccable. The food itself is always creative and wonderful in both taste and presentation. This is certainly a wonderful restaurant for both a casual dinner as well as a special occasion.

The food and atmosphere were at the Wow! level. The value was good, but not quite Wow level for us. Most of the prices were very reasonable, but nine dollars for dessert is a little steep. Still would recommend to everyone! The servers were all great!
