This was our first visit here and we all had an excellent experience. The food was excellent. I had a Kentucky Mule which was fantastic and strong drink. My wife had the Cherry Bomb drink and she too liked it very much. The live entertainment was good and the noise was moderate. Great place for friends and family to meet meet.

I loved the intimate atmosphere of this restaurant, in a historic Syracuse building. The menu was diverse and included a vegan option (I understand their menu changes, but it seemed there was something for everyone from the choices presented). The beer and wine list was small, but also with a good range of options (no spirits due to location close to a church as per NYS law). Our appetizer and entrees arrived very quickly and our waiter was pleasant, professional, and attentive. The food was excellent with one exception- both of us noted that our food was not completely hot when it arrived. It was warmish. I ordered chicken bibimap, which could not really be re-heated because of the mix of fresh ingredients. Nonetheless it was delicious. I thought the prices were very fair for the quality of the food. The other cold factor was the restaurant itself. It was on the chilly side. I am naturally always cold, but I noticed a few other diners wearing their jackets throughout dinner, as I did. So turn up the temperature on all fronts and this would have been a 5/5 experience!

About the restaurant
As far as authentic Persian experiences go, Turkish Cuisine in the Hell's Kitchen District really cannot be beat. Once you step foot in this place you will feel that you have been transported direct to the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul. The donor kebabs are highly sought after, as is the Turkish coffee for lunch. With the abundance of fresh vegetables served with every dish at Turkish Cuisine, you really cannot go wrong.

For a cultural experience, consider taking the family to Turkish Cuisine for your next gathering. The menu contains a bit of everything, so even the most discerning of taste buds are likely to find something that appeals. Consistent", "tasty" Turkish fare at "reasonable" rates make this Theater District veteran a "delightful" choice "pre-curtain". Full review Zagat. Turkish cuisine has a beautiful heated backyard seating area .

First time at Sueno and it will not be the last. Funny the place is right in the neighborhood and have walk by a thousand times but not gone in. We were looking for something local and thought Mexican would be great. Sueno has a cool atmosphere, friendly service and really good food and drinks. We had a simple appetizer plate with guacamole, queso and pico with some chips. All were very good and fresh. I had the brisket taco and would recommend these for a really good taco you willl not find in every shop. My wife had shrimp tacos and said the were better than the other taco places around like El Vez. All in solid experience and we will be going back on a regular basis.

All of it wa good but ootwtoes could have been softer. A few people came nothing crazy and was still pretty quiet ok a Saturday at burinch time. Doesn’t seem like a busy area for a big crowd to come but it’s a nice restaurant, modern touches and chill vibes.

About the restaurant
The Richmond features is the perfect space for an intimate Saturday evening out or a casual group gathering. A beautiful covered garden patio allows you the opportunity to dine alfresco.

“With custom-made, Bauhaus-style, leather chairs and wooden block tabletops, earth tones are the underlying color scheme. But the eye may zero in on a few points in the room -- the teal-hued banquettes, a pulley fan system and massive windows salvaged from a Brooklyn factory. These function as partitions in the dining room.” -Pamela Silvestri
