Best Date Night Restaurants in Manlius

We had an amazing dinner from start to finish. Jessie was our server and she was great. Very attentive. We (5 people) all loved our dishes…duck, scallops, steak and risotto. Dessert and drinks we wonderful as well!

My husband and our close friends enjoyed easily one of the best dinner experiences we’ve ever had at a restaurant last night. We chose Lam for our annual Christmas dinner and we were not disappointed. The service was excellent. All four of us raves about our dinners. I had the limoncello chicken. I would order it again and again. The men both had the short rib dish and devoured it! The pistachio cheesecake was out of this world! The decor was magical and the owner was the sweetest! Even with all the dining choices Syracuse has to offer, we would return to LM as our first choice.

The amuse-bouche was delicious: a squash puree, with cranberries, and a wonderful crumble -- could be an appetizer! Shrimp Cocktail is superb -- very large shrimp; good cocktail sauce. Caesar Salad tonight was very good: dark green lettuce, very good dressing, nice bread accompaniment. Spouse's crab cake was appropriately prepared and tasty. My bone-in rib-eye was very good. Ordered it medium-rare -- was just on the border, more approaching medium. The Buttered Mashed Potatoes side we had was delicious BUT for the size (small ramekin), the price $16.00, is outrageous!! It wasn't busy, so the noise level was not an issue.

Great breakfast and attentive staff. Recommend the eggs Benedict and the Cali Toast.

I was surprised by the fact that it was a small restaurant with a very small defined menu. However, my surprise turned to extraordinary delight when I ordered a small bite and dinner that were truly outstanding along with the incredible wine pairings. This is one of those hidden gem restaurants that I was lucky to find while traveling on business through Syracuse.
