Moro's Table

the food here was spectacular! i ordered the buttermilk chicken and it was amazing. it was very nicely presented and the sides were great as well! the service was prompt and very attentive. i also appreciated the complementary bread with two different dipping options. overall, i would recommend visiting this restaurant if craving a higher end atmosphere with delicious food.

We had an incredible evening at Moro’s Table! We started with the charcuterie and the pork stickers—both were outstanding and set the night off perfectly. For entrées, we had the boneless beef ribs and the red snapper, and each dish was cooked to perfection with amazing flavor. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was spot on. A true gem in Auburn—highly recommend!

Some years ago, chef Ed Moro put the Mirbeau Spa restaurant on the map before opening his own establishment, Moro's Table, in Auburn NY, about a 40-minute drive from downtown Syracuse. On a good night, the restaurant ranks among the best in the area and is well worth the drive. Unfortunately, we recently discovered that consistency in the preparation of menu items can be a problem, so my rating was adjusted downward by 1 star. As a starter, I recommend their house salad with miso ginger dressing. As an entree, try the strip steak or whatever steak they have as a special. The wine list is not strong, but the cocktails are good. Service is always excellent, and the ambience is conducive to an enjoyable evening meal with friends. UPDATE-1: We returned to this restaurant to celebrate a friend's birthday. Our guest enjoyed an appetizer of fried green tomatoes, while my wife and I enjoyed an order of mussels and a garden salad with miso ginger dressing. Our guest and my wife were not so fortunate in their choice of a main course. They ordered the pan seared scallops which were a variation from the regular menu item in that the five scallops were set over corn risotto. This dish paled in comparison to my grilled beef tenderloin. I gave them each a quarter of my steak and they thought it was spectacular, as did I. It came with delicious carrots and al dente brussel sprouts, and I requested french fries in place of the mashed potatoes. UPDATE-2: We have enjoyed this restaurant for years but something was wrong in the kitchen on this visit. We started with complimentary hot tomato oil and bread and an order of muscles with mushrooms and bacon. Both were excellent. However from there everything went downhill. It was a very long delay between the time we finished our appetizer and the time when our mains were delivered. The side salad had almost no dressing on it so by the time the top layer was finished I was eating wet lettuce. I ordered fried chicken. It arrived burnt with almost no flavor. My wife ordered a burger with a side of vegetables. The burger bun was seriously burnt, and although she requested no added salt on the vegetables, they were delivered very salty. It seemed all the customers in the restaurant were impatient with the slow service, and we left thinking that one or probably more kitchen staff must have called in sick.

Moro's Table was a really nice dining experience. It was quaint inside, with nice holiday decor and a relaxed vibe. The staff were kind and accommodating throughout the evening and service was prompt and fluid. The food was very good and reasonably priced. Love that they offer full and half orders. A special shout-out to how beautifully cooked the sides were. Everyone loves a good main but when you put the effort into the veggies that come with the main, to make them delicious you deserve more accolades. Absolutely nailed it. It was a Friday evening not overly busy for an earlier dinner, but they do take reservations so it never hurts to get one. Easy place to recommend, Enjoy!!

My wife and I made reservations for the bar. Dominic was our server and he did an outstanding job. He was always pleasant and timely with beverages. I had the Beef Tenderloin full plate and my wife had the Red Snapper. We were sharing our two dishes as we both wanted to try the other's selection. I was thoroughly happy with my Beef Tenderloin dish as it came out Medium as I ordered it. It was tender and seasoned well. When my wife tried it she wanted to steal my selection because it was much better than her Red Snapper. I didn't like the Red Snapper either. It had no flavor, was tough (I have never had Red Snapper that was as dried out and tough as this one was) My perspective is that it was totally over cooked. So, if I were to split our Food review, the Beef Tenderloin was a 5, but the Red Snapper was barely a 2. I'm sure we'll give them another try as we had a pleasant time, with nice company and service at the bar.

Our first time and really liked this place. Felt French for sure. Decent prices for having a four course dinner with a few drinks. We had the short rib dish and red snapper- both super flavorful.

Was testing out Moro's Table for a possible rehearsal dinner venue. We made reservations in advance, and it was our first time visiting Auburn. The exterior of the restaurant didn't give any impressions of what it would be like inside the venue. The restaurant opened its doors around 4:30, and we were the first diners inside. Jazz music and darker paint tones created an atmosphere suitable for a nice date night, and the space that can be reserved for events could comfortably accommodate 20-25 guests. Food was great, but I think the table service was even better. Will be going back to try more menu options and see if service and atmosphere are just as good during their busiest hours!

Had a very nice dinner on 5/24. One thing I like is that you can get a smaller portion on the mains, which leave a bit more room for an appetizer. I had the house salad (7), fried shrimp app (14) and smaller portion of fried scallops over risotto (28). My wife had the same sans salad. Nice crusty bread, great service from Ann. $131 plus tip. Every dish was delicious, pace was perfect and service was great.
