Disregard the 3 on food - we did not have any food. They have a limited bar menu of 5 items. The place is super charming. It is a the Ranch which is just NEXT LEVEL. Everyone is super nice. If you have never been - it is one of the few places that you really do need to experience. Are the drinks expensive -- YES - but it is The Ranch - just how it is. They had live music in the speakeasy and outside. I do love this place even though it has some flaws.

This is really a place to go for drinks. We understood that, but thought there might be a little more substance to the food items on the menu. They were very very small and very very expensive. Four of us had an order of sliders and tuna cones. My friend paid so I don't know the total for sure, but with tip it must have been $200 for three drinks, the 3 small sliders, 4 tiny tuna cones, and a small bowl of peanuts that we asked for separately. But that's what you'd expect at SYR. So if you go for the atmosphere and treat it as an experience that softens the blow!

Went for husbands birthday. Cool and glad we went once. Food - horrible. We tried 4 of the 5 things offered ( went with friends). Small portions and very poor food. I would have been happier with fast food- and I don't eat fast food. Waiter ok. Drinks ok- not impressed at all ( and I wanted to be) with their cocktails. BEAITIFUL space -outside and in. Piano planet "musical entertainment"- sparse. He played and sang a bit -SO much better entertainment on state street- their red piano bar went to last week and killer singer. $700 later (for 3 )- wish we would have done something else.

AMAZING!! The whole property is just so nice. The speakeasy is a small bar under one of the restsurants. They had it decorated for Valentines day with 10,000 small hearts hanging from the cieling. We had one of the small bites which was delicious. Our waitress modified a drink and it too was delicious. Will definitely be back.
