The LakeSide Syracuse

How have I not eaten here before! Everything was perfect! I didn't take a pic of the brussel sprout appetizer but it was delicious too. The water boy was amazing...he kept our water glasses full! Fine dining at its best!!!

I visited here for the first time for lunch. Went with my wife and we absolutely loved the restaurant. It was very low-key and there were not a lot of people in there. Due to this, we were able to have a lot of conversations with the wait staff and felt like it was almost an individual dining experience. The drinks, the food, and the atmosphere was incredible. We will definitely be coming back. Worth every penny! Delicious and great job!

Had an excellent dining experience with family tonight! All of the cocktails are fantastic but the best was the the Blueberry Bourbon Sour. The ice cube is made with a special limoncello and fruit mixture that elevates the flavors as you drink.

If you’re in the mood for small bites there’s about no way that you can can go wrong. The Brie and apricot is airy and refreshing. The Crab and Manchego dip was the winner for me though. A divine combination of lumpy crab and hot cheese on top of their signature crostinis (even a picky eater will want an order of bread!).

As an entree the filet is cooked to perfection and was tender and flavorful. The shrimp risotto also is some of the best that I have ever had. If you’re still not full, I would suggest the four cheese pasta or the chocolate layered cake. Both excellent by their own right.

The service was incomparable as every staff member was attending to our needs instantly. If you haven’t checked this place you should make a reservation! This is one of those rare gems in the area!

Such a great gem here in the heart of lake country. We had an amazing dinner, we were celebrating my girlfriend's promotion and wanted to go somewhere really nice and they were all we wanted. Cassie, our server was spot one and Matt the bartender guided us on a good port for dessert. Loved the atmosphere, there was music but not too loud and the decor was great, I just can't say enough about it. And the food, oh so good! Her filet just melted in your mouth a d my tuna was seared to perfection. Definitely worth checking out.

A year ago I reviewed it as a "gem in Syracuse." Now it's a clinker. I don't understand the mix of a fine dining menu (and the food is still wonderful) with live music that is not very good and so loud you have to shout to converse.

A gem in Syracuse. A couple small plates a person makes a generous menu. The arancini and stuffed dates were delicious and the grilled romaine salad was exceptional.

Our family celebrated a special birthday and couldn’t have asked for a better place to enjoy a meal together! Shelly took such great care of us, offering drink and meal recommendations, checking on us frequently and making us feel so special! The food was phenomenal and we look forward to visiting again and trying more innovative choices!

The bacon wrapped date appetizer was delicious. (One of their most popular choices. ) The 2 in thick filet is unsurpassed!

I brought my wife here on Valentine's Day. We had a fantastic experience. The last time we came here was for mother's Day 2 years ago. The highlight was absolutely the food. The two of us having two appetizers and two entrees ended up spending over $200. But it was well worth it.

I ordered lobster bisque and The wagyu New York strip. She ordered lobster bisque and a salmon salad. For appetizers we ordered the crab dip.

Service was nice and friendly the restaurant was clean and well maintained.

Food and service was great, as expected! Not a fan of the seating. Also, the entry lights are seemingly motion censored, I found that to be distracting.

Here from Oklahoma visiting familly and this place is awesome! Crab cakes were amazing, as was the sirloin and the yellow fin. I also tried the salmon and omg, it was delish as well! I wanted all 3 entrees. The atmosphere is great for a date night or a group. The Key Lime cheesecake was equally amazing and as you can tell by the picture, HUGE! Highly recommend this establishment and we'll definitely be back next time we are in the area.

Just plain amazing food drinks and hospitality.
Your cup of water will not even go empty.

Always enjoy the friendly service and great atmosphere. The food is the best around keep up the great job!

The Best restaurant in the area, hands down. Always an impressive dining experience. Love it! We are especially fond of their Crab Cakes, Coconut Shrimp, Pad Thai, Raspberry Lemondtop martini & great vibes.

Beautiful place, beautiful food, beautiful people. I love this place for lunch or dinner. Excellent service and food. Highly recommend!

Friendly staff food was beautiful and tasted wonderful

Thank you to Kelly, Cass, Matthew, Molly, Amy, Munse, Lula, Carlos & the kitchen staff for the most amazing food, drinks & fantastic service!! If anyone wants a terrific experience, don’t wait to call & make reservations!!

Wow. What a hidden gem. Friend of ours from Syracuse took us here. Such a beautifully designed space, and the food was absolutely incredible. We had the Baked Brie appetizer, New York strip, Crab Cakes, BiBimBop, Dauphinois Potatoes, and ended it with the Key Lime Pie and Chocolate Tart. Even being the next day, my wife and I cant stop thinking about. About an hour drive from our home in Auburn and totally worth the drive. Thank you to the team at Kelly Jae’s!

First time visit and we’ll be back! Everything was spectacular and it was fun to chat with Kelly. We used to frequent Checkerberry Inn many years ago so we are delighted the tradition continues.

This place is incredible. Kelly, Jen and the entire staff are truly first class!

Both the food and drink are wonderful!

We actually held our Wedding Rehearsal Dinner here, in the bar area, and it was a HIT with our guests. They loved the bar, the location, and most importantly - all of the great food and drinks!

Thank you again for making our evening so special!

Best,
Tyler & Jenny
