Went and had a beautiful night. They are housed in a bluestone heritage building - ornate archways, soaring ceilings and curving chandeliers set the tone for an sophisticated yet warm atmosphere. The menu is elegant and modern, international/european in style. To go with the food, they have a very well stocked cellar, a collection of about 500 wines apparently.
On my visit, we had the WA marron with jamon butter & potatoes, and the Smoked duck breast with strawberries & foie gras. Interesting combinations that worked surprisingly well and showed the ingenuity of the team.
Dessert was my favourite though. Violet crème brûlée and Peanut butter parfait. Stunning to look at and even better on the tongue.
Service was lovely throughout, and the whole time I was in heaven.
This is what dining out should be about, good food, new & interesting experiences, being treated like a guest and not wanting to leave....
Definitely recommended.

Let me start by saying, I love this restaurant - for a foodie like me, Syracuse is heavenly.

The menu is seasonal, and that suits me down to the ground, I love the fact that they update their menu to suit what produce is at its peak. The menu may be limited, but it's definitely diverse. I went with a small group and we ordered multiple plates which were served to us one at a time, family style - what an experience! No plate envy for me (for once). And the cheese! Oh the cheese (can you tell I'm gushing?). Every week they do something different - we had a soft cheese (poss a brie), slow roasted in a port reduction with a roasted garlic clove in the centre - divine. I still dream of that cheese.

The wine list - prepare to be amazed. Whereas the food menu is shorter, they have not taken the same approach to their wine list. It is extensive. As well as their printed menu, they also have a chalkboard list of wines. Trust your waiter! If you don't know your wines, describe what you like and they will recommend you something fabulous - and no, they don't try to sell you the most expensive bottle - they genuinely seem to care about serving you something you would enjoy.

The staff. Genuinely knowledgeable, and GREAT service. I can not find a fault with them. The sections are not huge, so the staff can really take care of you without seeming intrusive. To the point where they take your coats and hang them for you, rather than you hanging them off the back of your chair. It's the simple things that make a difference. You can tell Syracuse make service a priority, and on my end, it was very much appreciated.

The restaurant itself is based in an older 1920's style building, and rather than being cramped, it feels intimate. Depending on where you sit, you can have a decent view of the kitchen and enjoy the delectable scents that emerge from there.

Price wise, I feel for what you get, it is fairly inexpensive - I personally would have paid a lot more for meals and wine we had, so when we received the bill I was pleasantly surprised. Don't get me wrong, it's not cheap, but you don't feel cheated at the end of the evening.

This restaurant is all class, if you are looking for a memorable evening, from the food and wine, to the ambience - you don't need to look any further. Syracuse has delivered one of the best dining experiences of my life - in that environment, even Hitler would have seemed like a decent dinner companion. Who knows, after a night out there with him, we may have even been friends.

The decor is immaculate, really nice place for a date. My partner & I came for dinner. We had the smoked duck breast which was perfectly cooked, really juicy, some lamb cutlets which were also cooked to our liking. I had a chicken main which i highly recommend, my partners steak however was not medium rare as he requested, over done. When mentioning this to the waiter he simply apologized then walked away. Spoiled the night

Mixed feelings about this place. Food was average and all serves of food fairly small. We had the fish, which was too salty. The duck was nice, but the cheese dish with bread was pretty disappointing in flavour-kind of like a deconstructed garlic bread. Luckily the good staff, wine list and ambience made up for it.

Firstly the building here is spectacular! It has the highest ceilings and it is beautifully decorated.
The food is lovely and the wine list extensive. The waiters knowledge of their wines is first class. Highly recommended!
