Phoebe's Restaurant & Coffee Lounge

Originally known as Phoebe's Garden Café, the restaurant has a long and colorful history in Syracuse. Local lore claims that the building was originally a brothel, and Phoebe was its madam.
In the summer of 2004, Phoebe's experienced a refreshing makeover with a bright new look in the atrium dining room with fresh paint, new upholstery, and artwork. The coffee lounge also opened that year, and it became an instant hit with the surrounding university and business crowd. Those changes also warranted a new name to reflect the updated attitude and ambiance: Phoebe's Restaurant and Coffee Lounge. Classic elements of Phoebe's remain untouched—the French onion soup and enticing crème brulee, for example, but other menu items change seasonally.
The Lounge also has its own seating area and free wireless internet capabilities. Phoebe's old world charm is right at home in a revitalized area of the city.

    Beautiful restoration of the old lemongrass. Nice lighting gives it a lite but comforting ambience. Gorgrous bar, seating outside but no service available there. Great variety of food, we had fun ordering 4 appetizers.. the lobster pountine was the favorite! Every dinner was very good. Sea Bass and Delmonico were delightful, but also the most, at $45 each. Not sure if I liked the Sea Bass that much. Prices are high here, folks. Spent $800 for 7 people. That was the only thing that was hard to swallow.

    One of our favorite places to eat. Worth the drive from Buffalo, NY for the weekend to eat here a couple of times. Stretch bread makes for incredible garlic bread! Fresh pasta and inventive cocktails in the heart of the action in Armory Square? It is a popular place, but staffed well with great people so things run smoothly. Cannot recommend enough.

    The food was extraordinary. My husband had the haddock which was incredibly fresh and perfectly cooked. The steak tartare was delicious--the best I have had. (Apparently the chef had just won a contest for it!) Our waiter Tyler was very attentive and informative--a great meal!
