A true culinary experience! 🏆 From the moment I arrived, I knew I was in for an extraordinary evening. The service was nothing short of impeccable, attentive without being intrusive, and every member of the staff carried a genuine warmth that elevated the experience from fine dining to unforgettable hospitality. The ambiance was perfect balance between luxury and comfort. The atmosphere made it easy to sink into the moment and savor each course. The meal itself was a masterclass in culinary artistry. Every bite told a story! What truly set this experience apart was the chef’s ability to surprise without overwhelming. The tasting menu flowed effortlessly, with each course building upon the last in both flavor and complexity. In every sense, this was a five-star culinary journey, an unforgettable evening where food, service, and ambiance aligned in perfect harmony. A true celebration of the art of dining. Thank you NobleCellar for the memorable experience!

It was our second time coming here, and everything was amazing. We ordered the oysters, spring salad, trout, tenderloin and for dessert the coffee flan and banana profiteroles. The food was 10/10 delicious, and the servers were all timely and professional. We can’t wait to come back!

I was so pleasantly surprised by how upscale and delightful Noble Cellar is. The service was absolutely outstanding. Really friendly and knowledgeable waiter. In my opinion very clearly the closest restaurant to Michelin level in the area. I loved hearing about the food as it was brought to the table. Having that overview of what you ordered and how it was prepared was so next level. I got the fish and my husband got the egg, both were outstanding! Noble Cellar offers some wine based cocktails which we did not try but sounded very interesting. My one point of feedback would be to expand or rotate your vegetarian options. We loved our experience but as a vegetarian there is not a ton for my husband to try in terms of branching out. I believe if there’s a place in the area that could excel at elevated vegetarian food (think EMP) it would be here or Touché. Really enjoyed ourselves and likely will be back in the coming weeks.

The dining experience at Noble Cellar was overall enjoyable, with excellent service that made the evening smooth and pleasant. The oysters were fresh and flavorful, and the pasta was well-executed, delivering a satisfying balance of texture and taste. The duck, however, had a noticeable smell, which slightly detracted from the meal. The wine cocktail was nicely crafted but leaned on the softer side, lacking a bit of intensity. Despite that, the ambiance and quality of most dishes made it a memorable experience.

Noble Cellar provided one of the most memorable dining experiences of my life. As an award-winning chef who has dined at top restaurants worldwide, I can confidently say this ranks among the best. Every detail—from the impeccable service and well-curated menu to the expertly executed dishes—was outstanding. Highlights included the Roasted Duck Breast, Rabbit Cavatelli, and exquisite desserts. The ambiance is refined yet welcoming, and the staff’s professionalism is top-notch. Noble Cellar has set a new benchmark for fine dining in Syracuse. A must-visit for any food lover!

Noble cellar was a lovely dining experience. The service was truly impeccable, the food was divine and the decor was elegant and dreamy. The elk carpaccio, salmon tartare, bass crudo, onglet steak and Artic char were some of the best dishes Ive ever had. The plates looked too beautiful to eat but after my first bite, I didn’t want the experience to end! They have an exceptional wine list and a very passionate sommelier to help with the perfect pairings. I was introduced to the Bordeaux and was very happy with the recommendation. Kudos to NC for winning the wine spectator award! One of the most unique elements of noble cellar is the decor - it’s obvious the owners were passionate about highlighting the buildings rich history in the most beautiful way. It was dreamy, mystical and romantic. Hands down one of the best dining experiences I have been so lucky to enjoy! What a beautiful addition to our community!

Noble Cellar is a divinely unique establishment. The culmination of incredible attention to detail fine dining in a historic building steeped in local and national history are the very things I live for. Thank you so much @noblecellar for the magnificent evening. To start, I ordered the Wild Caught Sea Scallops with smoked beurre blanc, smoked trout roe, crispy potato nest, and pickled shallots as well as the Beef Tartare with Worcestershire black garlic mayonnaise, Parmesan frico, pickled shallots, and housemade chips. The scallops were cooked perfectly still with translucency. The smoked trout roe was a refreshing pop of salty smokiness that paired perfectly with the acidity of the pickled shallots and the smoked beurre blanc. The crunch of the potato nest complimented the tender scallops beautifully as well. The beef tartare was everything you would expect a tartare to be and more. Balanced and delicious. The acidity of the sliced pickled shallot, the salty crunch from the Parmesan frico, the sweet smoky salty mayo that elevates the tender tartare. Each bite was heavenly. I enjoyed mine without the chips the majority of the time. However, the greens and the chips give the dish some body to vary the texture of the tartare. For entree, I ordered the Roasted Duck Breast which was accompanied with braised cannellini beans, kale, confit leg, duck jus, red wine reduction, and duck fat cornbread. The beans were cooked al dente and mixed together with tender duck confit leg meat to create the most satisfying and rich cassoulet. The duck breast was cooked beautifully and the red wine reduction gave the dish a sweet acidic component that cut through the fattiness of duck preparations. Finally for dessert I chose the Pumpkin Sticky Toffee Pudding with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. The pudding had a lovely mellow pumpkin flavor and a nice crunch on top that paired extremely well with the soft interior of the pudding. The caramel sauce an incredible accompaniment. With each bite, the caramel would encapsulate the pudding, blending the combination of flavors into the perfect bite. The ice cream with real vanilla bean specks just elevated the dish to new heights.

We aren't used to fine dining but if this is it, Noble Cellar sets the bar exceptionally high. We were celebrating our anniversary and they started us off with complementary champagne, which was delicious. Bought a bottle of rose we already know we love for the meal and our glasses were always promptly refilled. Dinner was to die for as we expected based on our previous trip here. Wait staff from the front to the back were impeccable. And dessert was one of, if not the best I ever had anywhere; I'm not sure there is a tastier way to spend $12 in all of Syracuse. We are definitely going to consider making this our forever anniversary destination!

Just a follow-up review as I just got back from a wonderful dining experience and had the updated Spring menu. All I can say is the food is as outstanding as the service. We once again, had Trevor as our waiter, and I'm telling you, he really makes for such an incredible experience. We are going to ask for him every single time we make reservations, which, we will be doing for the summer menu. Everything was great and still is great. This is the best restaurant in Syracuse and I'll die fighting on that hill.

Finally came here for dinner. I made reservations weeks in advance (which is advisable, since our server told us that they sometimes are booked out weekends months in advance.) I did call the day before to push the reservation half an hour, which they accommodated. Service is top notch. They really pay attention to the little details. For example, as soon as I sat down and put my purse down on the floor, someone came over with a bag holder so that we could hang it from the table. We were greeted quickly and checked on regularly, even though it was a busy Friday and the house was full. The only real drawback is that the restaurant gets very loud, which I suppose is unavoidable because of the space. The old Mission/church has high ceilings that are super echo-y, and there's only that one room, so tables are close together. Point being, if you're looking for a quiet, private experience, this likely isn't it. The space is gorgeous with the converted church interior and stained glass windows but it gets very buzzy, so just FYI that's the vibe. They'd just switched from the winter menu to the spring that weekend, so unfortunately the menu we'd viewed online wasn't what was available. We were jazzed to try the polenta dish and the whitefish and were a little thrown that they weren't options, but were sure that everything would be good. I'm not the hugest fan of trout normally, but I took a chance on it and it was very good. My partner got the chef's pasta which was a spring mix with pea shells, asparagus, and bread crumbs. I tried a bite and it was very tasty. Portions were small but very rich and well done. Drinks are also on the high end, which is to be expected of a fine dining restaurant. Definitely more of a special occasion splurge kind of restaurant, but when you come here you can be assured that anything you order will be excellent and that the experience will be positive too.

An Unforgettable Experience at Noble Cellar Last night, Kim and I returned to Noble Cellar for date night, and let me tell you--this place is the real deal. Ever since my first visit, I had been eager to return, wondering if the magic was truly as good as I remembered or if I had been swayed by hunger, great company, and the excitement of a long-overdue date night. Many Central NY restaurants struggle with consistency, so I was eager to see if Noble Cellar could deliver again. We made our reservation two weeks in advance for 5:30, and upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by the hostess, who even took Kim's coat. We were seated in a cozy corner booth with a perfect view of the restaurant. From there, we were met by three different team members, including Karl, our head waiter, who enthusiastically welcomed us back. Karl walked us through the drink options, introducing us to their iPad-based inventory of wines and craft drinks, and shared the exciting news that they were finalizing the spring menu. His passion was contagious--he made us want to return the moment the new menu launches! Karl inquired about any allergies or dislikes and asked if we'd be open to trying some components of the new menu. Being the food lovers we are, we eagerly agreed. We started with a Prosecco and a craft cocktail featuring Prosecco. Then came the salads: the honey burnt carrot salad with cider farro, whipped feta, and watercress (a personal favorite from my last visit) and a featured salad of baby kale, fennel prawns, baby heirloom radishes, and toasted crushed hazelnuts. These salads were everything a salad should be--fresh, crisp, balanced in texture and flavor, with the perfect dressing. Karl paired our salads with a wine that had a nose so unique it transported us back to Wilson's Leather in the mall (if you're 50+, you'll get it). The complexity was unreal. Our second course included the roasted poblano sausage--just as outstanding as before, with a perfect snap to the casing, rich spice, and incredible moisture. We also had the wild-caught sea scallop special with fennel slaw, cooked to perfection with just a hint of ocean brine. For entrees, I ordered The Egg--heirloom polenta, seasonal vegetable succotash, and vegetable jus, plus two more scallops. Karl's wine pairing for this dish was flawless--an Alsace wine that elevated every bite. Kim stuck with her favorite from last time, the sweet potato gnocchi, which she declared might be the best dish she's ever had (a bold statement from someone who knows what she loves!). Karl, remembering our last visit's order, noticed I hadn't chosen the Berkshire Pork Chop this time and took it upon himself to send one out. Though we were getting full, I was thrilled. This dish was next-level--perfectly marbled, cooked to tender perfection, and paired with accompaniments crafted with love. We couldn't finish it all but were excited to take it home for lunch. For dessert, we went with the Pumpkin Sticky Toffee Pudding--still one of the best desserts I've ever had and certainly a contender for Central NY's best. The kitchen also sent out a sneak peek of a new dessert: profiteroles filled with house-made banana ice cream, dipped in caramel sauce, an inventive take on Brennan's bananas foster flavors. Absolutely divine. A Testament to Culinary Excellence Executive Chef Padriac Adolfi and his team are nothing short of extraordinary. The precision, creativity, and mastery displayed in every dish speak volumes about their skill and dedication. The entire culinary staff operates with seamless efficiency and an obvious love for their craft. Every plate that leaves the kitchen is a work of art, perfectly balanced in flavor, texture, and presentation. This team is easily among the most talented I've encountered. In my seasoned and professional opinion, Noble Cellar is on its way to earning a Michelin Star and a James Beard nomination--should the industry take notice of what they are doing here. Karl's service, once again, was over the top. His knowledge of food and wine pairings is exceptional, and his ability to create an immersive dining experience sets him apart. He doesn't just serve food--he guides you on a journey, making every sip and bite an event to remember. His passion and expertise elevate the entire experience, proving that outstanding service is just as important as the food itself. The Verdict: Worth Every Penny Yes, Noble Cellar is a higher-end dining experience, but the value is undeniable. Every ingredient is meticulously sourced from artisanal producers, and every dish is executed with precision and passion. Whether this is your go-to spot or a special occasion destination, it is worth every bit of the investment. Perhaps the most impressive takeaway from our visit was that the owners, Sarah Pelligrini and Rob Zaccaria, were not present again. Yet, everything ran flawlessly. This speaks volumes about the level of training, pride, and empowerment given to the employees.

Everything was spectacular!!! The food was if not the best, top three best meals ever. I don't think I could recommend this place enough. The atmosphere was great, if a little noisy (the acoustics are what they are), the service was impeccable, and every single bite was a piece of heaven. I will definitely be back.

My husband and I dined at Noble Cellar this week. They had a record of my dietary restriction from last time, which was a nice and appreciated detail. We ordered a fig and goat cheese appetizer, which we shared, and which was delicious. My husband ordered the duck entree ($43) and I ordered the sea bass entree ($50). Our server did not warn or guide us toward the need to order more than this. The plates are quite small, the duck dish in particular was very small - a size I might expect for an hors d'oeuvre. We then shared dessert - the chocolate olive oil cake. Again delicious. But, we left with my husband having eaten no more than roughly 450 calories, in the course of a $167 meal, before tip. (Our order included the fig appetizer, the duck entree, the fish entree, 1 dessert, 2 mocktails and one sparkling water.) See photos of the fish entree and duck entree to get a sense of actual size.

Great atmosphere and ambiance in a former church setting complete with stained glass window and spacious ceilings. The history and philosophy of the restaurant lured me in and the service was good, while also being well versed in the heritage and menu offerings. The food is creative, especially the made from scratch pasta, which included rabbit. I chose the pictured short ribs saturated in Parmesan foam since it was recommended and is a classic staple. While tasty, I expected more tenderness although it was chewy. The combinations and sauce was a little overdone as well as somewhat pretentious. A friend shared some of her pork chop which was the other highly recommended dish and it was good, still didn't seem to live up to the hype. For the price and the ambitions of being an upscale eatery with aspirations of being Michelin rated, I don't feel it was worthy.

This is a fantastic dining experience. The venue is beautiful but comfortable. The food was wonderful. The service was excellent and our server helped us with wine choices and gave us lots of background information. It's a splurge, but very much worth it.

We celebrated an early Valentine's Day so we could dine at Noble Cellar for their 1 year anniversary. It was a five course menu which included soup, appetizer, salad, entree and a cheese plate. I have included a picture of the menu. We could have added wine pairing but we are not wine drinkers. My husband had a couple of glasses of stout and I chose a nicely crafted mocktail with an Asian pear base. Our server was very knowledgeable about the food, service was friendly but professional. They have redecorated beautifully with very comfortable seating but let the beautiful details of the old church shine. The entire staff was busy ensuring no details were missed. Clearing dishes, refilling water, replacing silverware, serving and boxing up leftovers. The food was beautifully prepared and presented. We enjoyed our meals and would definitely order these items again. I added a cup of French press coffee and a dessert, apple cake with vanilla ice cream and a caramel sauce.... perfect ending. I can't leave out how impressed we were talking to the owner who came around several times to check on us. He was so passionate about his restaurant and downtown Syracuse. It was such a pleasure talking with him.

We went here for a belated Valentine's Day night out and were very impressed by the food and ambiance as well as service. It is nicely decorated, has beautiful stained glass windows and dim lighting for a romantic cozy atmosphere. Everything we tried from the small plates to main entrees to drinks and dessert were amazing and full of unique delicious flavor. This is probably our new favorite fine dining spot.

My wife and I took our son and a friend here for dinner. It was our first time there. Ambiance was really cool. It was a repurposed church with lots of original stained glass and a very hip interior. Tables were well spaced and they had a bar area as well. We were seated promptly and the host welcomed us and introduced our server. He was excellent and attentive. He took his time explaining the menu and the few specials for the day. Food was spectacular and innovative. We began with a charcuterie board which was good. I had the soup of the day which was a sweet potato and beet soup with coconut. It was very creamy and flavorful. The boys each had the short rib ragu with pasta and were very satisfied. My wife had the char and it was perfectly prepared in a very flavorful sauce. I had the beef hangar steak and it was very tender and flavorful. The sauce was simply fantastic. We tried the olive cake for dessert and it was rich and tasty. Although they don't serve spirits, they had a good selection of wines by the glass. It is a bit on the pricey side but the quality of the food made up for the cost. Give it a try and I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

I've been looking forward to coming here and it was a great dinner! The ambiance is sophisticated and intimate with a great playlist. The pictures I've seen previously made it look a bit bigger, so I was pleasantly surprised when the dining room was smaller than expected. We went on a Wednesday night and it was not crowded or busy. I went with my family, one of them who is a local and regular. He helped us through the menu and what he thought was best. I do like that they had a smaller menu. It shows they take pride and craft in few specific (seasonal?) dishes. We got the octopus, salmon tartare and charcuterie as appetizers. All were delicious and presented nicely! Our entrees took a bit of time to come out. I asked my local family member if this was normal and he said no. We were sat at 7pm and our entrees came out a little after 8:30pm. We were in good company and not in a rush, so while it didn't really negatively affect our dinner it was noticed. When dinner did come out everything was hot and presented wonderfully. I personally ordered the mushroom risotto. I very much enjoy truffles and mushrooms, and this dish had a great taste to it. I would recommend it to anyone who is a mushroom fan. Two people in my party ordered the short rib ragout, one tasted great, but the other had salty pasta (the beef wasn't salty, just the pasta). It seemed as though it got an extra toss of salt on top, which we don't think it needed. The desserts were all delicious. They had 3 and we ordered all 3 to enjoy as a group. They were all great, but I really liked the olive oil cake with the pistachios on top. A sophisticated restaurant with a great atmosphere and service. Every worker we came into contact with was pleasant and attentive. Our waters were always full and wine was always topped off. I would recommend and come again!

Noble Cellar was a perfect dinner spot! The food was great, the staff was lovely, and if nothing else, the location was amazing! It's in a converted church and absolute exudes character! It was moody yet fresh and had a more elevated feel to it! We sat at the bar and the bar tenders were so lovely! The wine selection was also great! (They don't have hard liquor so don't have any major cocktails) but it was all still so lovely! I got the duck and it was some of the best I have ever had. It was prepared so well and had so much flavor. I would recommend getting a reservation as it gets very busy!

Noble Cellar is one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. And this includes the entire experience, from the service, to the pacing and the food, everything was incredible. If you want more details, keep reading, but if I were you I'd make my reservation now. And yes, you'll definitely want/need a reservation. The service was kind, welcoming, prompt and didn't want us to lift a finger. You walk away from your table to go to the bathroom, your napkin is probably getting folded. New plates and silverware for each course, you got it. Is this necessary, not remotely in my simple world, was it awesome to be a part of and witness, absolutely. They took our coats for us (not a formal coat service, just hung them up), brought a table hanger for my wife's purse and we're so quick to refill water as it was getting low and that's including the bottle of Pellegrino that we could have done ourselves. If you aren't used to being catered too, it's strange, while also not feeling remotely overbearing or interruptive. And our server was incredible, I wish I remembered her name for this, simply magnificent in her interactions with us. The drinks, a wonderful selection of adult beverages and they will have you try your wine before pouring all of it too you. Love this! I was taken aback by the water selection, I panicked, just water please! Joking slightly, it's cool they have options, just surprised. The food took us on a flavorful journey we were not ready for. Trying the duck breast starter and sharing the purple potato soup. Phenomenal, most tender duck I've ever had and I can't remember all the flavors and notes in the soup that were described but gosh darn it was good. For our main dishes we got a pork and chicken dish. Not only were they cooked to perfection, the flavor, the freaking flavors man were out of this world. We've had it perfectly cooked before, but never have we experienced such a beautiful combination of flavors on these types of dishes. I don't know who's culinary mind is at work here but bravo a thousand times. Our dessert, my basic understanding is some kind of cookie that's light, fluffy and again surrounded with perfect compliments of flavor all around. My taste buds were so happy I blacked out. Absolutely wonderful experience at Noble Cellar. It is expensive no doubt, while the portions are absolutely reasonable for the price, especially since they are nailing the taste. I also see it as paying for the full experience and the service and flow was top tier. If they can maintain this, they will be a massive success. Nothing left to do now but, Enjoy!!

Great fine dining spot in an old church in Downtown Syracuse! The interior design is thoughtful, as the color scheme goes well with the stained glass windows. Our server was lovely, and the staff is attentive to each transition of the meal. They had a couple mock tail choices, so we each got one to try. We ordered the house rolls, then I ordered the carrot salad to start. The whipped feta was spread across the bottom of the plate with greens & water cress, roasted rainbow carrots, and Farro on top. The flavors blended together perfectly with a lil zing. Dinner was Halibut and duck, then dessert apple cake and pumpkin sticky pudding. If you're looking for a lovely fine dining experience with great food in Syracuse, I highly recommend Noble Cellar!

Located in the old Syracuse Wesleyan church where the Mission used to be. Fortunately you don't have to pay for the quality of the food because it is exceptional. Being in a former church makes the setting a little odd for a high end restaurant but the room is pleasant albeit a tad dark. No liquor license but a good and fairly priced wine list. The striped bass crudo and the elk loin carpaccio were amazing. The Arctic char were very good but the rib eye was better. The prices are on the high side for Syracuse so more of a special occasion place. Wii be back.

I came here for the first time with one of my bestie who's also a foodie and we both LOVED this restaurant. The interior of this restaurant was so unique and very renaissance vibes yet gives a modern vibe at the same time. The service was excellent - our server was really attentive and we also kept getting different servers walking around and helping us change our dirty plates to clean ones, clean the table up, and asked us how we're doing. Now the food is the real winner. We started off with the beef tartare and the scallops which were out of this world and the best scallops i've ever had in my life: the beef tartare was soo delicious as well and the homemade chips were so addicting. best beef tartare i've had by far. Lastly, we got the gnocchi for an entree and this was the best gnocchi i've had. the basil pesto sauce was so creamy and so fresh and definitely tasted home made. i loved the crumble toppings on top which i believe was just baked italian bread crumbs. If you're in the Central NY area - you must visit Noble Cellar. The food is delicious, and the service is great. they have wine and beer but no liquor. We didn't try any of the wine or beers but we will be sure to next time!

What a great first experience I had at Noble Cellar. It was the choice for our monthly girls night out dinner. First walking in it felt cozy and warm plus I love the stain glass windows. The service from beginning to end was phenomenal. The drinks and courses came out in a timely manner. I really enjoyed my meal, the salad was balance of flavors the sweetness of the carrots delicious. The duck was cooked perfectly. I tend to order things I don't or try to attempt to cook at home. The Parker House Rolls were delicious, I could have ate so many of them. Our group of seven enjoyed everything we had and our time here, and never felt rushed. I'm excited to head back here to try different menu items.

It was a perfect experience. Food was TO DIE FOR. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything in great depth. It is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been, with the stained glass windows and black & white movie clips playing on the wall. Amazing experience.

Ambiance: Quite nice, we sat at the bar high top and the seats were very comfortable. The lighting was perfect, not too dark and not too bright. The wall decor was interesting but a little distracting with the projected movie clips playing against frames. Food: Very good! We each had a cocktail, shared two appetizers, two entrees and a dessert. Peach and Green Tomato Gazpacho: a little boring, but a nice cold soup. Pork Belly and Bok Choy: Quite good, nice and crispy but had too much of the cranberry compote in my opinion. Lamb chops: good, a little fatty but seasoned perfectly. The beets were good but they overpowered the lamb's subtle seasoning. The spanakopita was great, but an odd choice to pair with the entree. Mushroom Gnocchi: Best gnocchi I've had in Syracuse. Light and fluffy with a slight crisp. The miso was a little thick, but the flavor was perfect. Basil Strawberry Tart: a bit dry, and the basil was a bit overpowering. But a nice dessert all the same. Service: the service was a little subpar. The appetizers took about 25 minutes to arrive without any notice of how long we should be expected to wait. The entrees took just about an hour, which was a bit ridiculous in my mind. If the lamb was holding up the other entree, we should have been advised the lamb takes a while or offered to have them come out separately.

Such a great and unique dining experience. Love what they've done with this place in terms of aesthetic. Service was on par. They have many wines to choose from. We started off with the slow roasted pork belly. This was crispy on the outside but tender inside. We loved the blackberry chile sauce that accompanied. We split the braised pork shoulder and grouper entrees for dinner. Both were delicious with very different vibes. The pork shoulder had a lot of bold flavor compared to the milder grouper dish. The dishes look small, but were just enough to be filling. We finished off with the strawberry basil and coconut desserts. I've never had desserts like these before. They were very eccentric but really tasty. Can't wait to come back!

The vibe of this new spot is awesome! The staff are just as awesome. My husband and I decided to try for date night and it did not disappoint. We split a bottle of white wine which was delicious. My husband and I each got a first and second course and then split a dessert. I started with a squash and apple soup and had a chicken dish as the main entree. It came with potatoes and broccolini. My husband got a charcuterie appetizer and followed with a pork chop dish. The pork could have used a larger side besides a small amount of a squash puree underneath. We both weren't in love with the food but it was flavorful and plated nicely. The winner of the evening was the olive oil cake with lemon!! It was so moist and light. We also thought it was on the pricier side. A bottle of wine, 2 apps, 2 entrees & 1 dessert was over $200 not including tip.

Wife and I both ordered the ribeye with brown butter sauce, accompanied by a glass off the Chateau de Beaute Pinot Noir (maybe two) with the spring salad for starters. Absolutely delicious! Only 4 stars because they don't serve spirits due to some weird law being associated with a church nearby - so it's just Beer and Wine. I miss my pre-game of Martinis before a yummy steak dinner

Would rate it a 10 if I could. Awesome, eclectic playlist. Delicious food. Impeccable service. And the location is so cool, old church in the middle of everything! Drove by it, had to circle back. very unpretentious. What a find! Every dish was a wonderful, balanced fusion of flavors, textures and colors; with some unexpected surprises. Highly recommend and will come back if in town again.

We booked a reservation for date night and were 100% satisfied with the entire experience. The restaurant feels upscale but maintains a warm "cozy" atmosphere. The service was prompt, attentive and incredibly polite. Food was GREAT. No complaints at all. We tried 3 courses and finished our plates with each. Such a pleasant dining experience over all. 10/10.

The place has been remodeled and is tastefully decorated, intimate and quiet (easy to have a conversation). The staff are friendly and attentive. We enjoyed the pork belly starter. Fabulous flavor! On to the entrees. I had the artic char - out of this world flavor, topped with crab and beur blanc sauce. I'd had 2 bites before I took the picture, so it's deconstructed... Sorry about that! Others enjoyed their chicken entree and rib entree. The grand finale was the flourless expresso chocolate cake. Perfect ending! This place is special!

Amazing service and incredible dinner. Our waiter was Jason and he was so attentive and nice. We ate at the bar and had the nicest evening without being rushed. The trout was exquisite and the salad superb. We were so full we didn't have dessert yet it sounded incredible.

Beautiful space, excellent service, and outstanding food - a wonderful place for a special occasion! Everything about the experience was superb. The purple sweet potato soup with Thai flavors (lemongrass and toasted coconut) was phenomenal. We had the steak and pork chop entrees and both were perfectly prepared with wonderful flavors. Will definitely be back for special occasions when in Syracuse.

Just had the most incredible dinner at noble cellar to celebrate our 3 year anniversary. The atmosphere is cozy and romantic. We started with a beautiful white wine which had the perfect combo of minerality and floral notes. It paired really well with our appetizers which included a hot lobster mushroom toast and poblano pepper pork sausage. We then moved on to a seasonal delicious sweet potato gnocchi, brown butter sage sauce which paired well with a Syrah wine. Additionally we tried the rabbit tortier which paired well Mourcedrr Dessert was so yummy as well - we had the chocolate Lou de crème and the pumpkin sticky toffee pudding and it was spectacular with the madeira dessert wine which brought us back to the madeira wine we had when we got engaged in Madeira - it was such a special treat! Thank you noble cellar for the spectacular service!

Upon arriving to my destination with 645 reservations to the bar I noticed how dimly lit the entrance is at dark. For a minute I thought I was at the wrong address and in front of an abandoned church. Once confirming I was at the correct location I entered and was pleasantly surprised by the charming elegant atmosphere. We reserved bar seating and all the staff provided top notch service! The cook is amazing everything we ordered was delectable, the best Octopus I have savored! Our experience was beyond pleasant, the rabbit still has me perplexed. My interpretation is a curious rabbit wandering into a garden of wonders...

The owners of Noble Cellar and the amazing and talented local chef, Tim Haire, have formulated quite an extraordinary dinner menu and experience you will not forget. Ambience: The Noble Cellar is located in an old historic church, offering a lot of appealing amenities inside from various books, paintings, busts, historic stained glass windows, and a unique style of chairs and tables to sit at. The design and layout of the Noble Cellar was well thought out, comfortable, and very pleasant, offering a nice night out with friends, work colleagues or your significant other. The lighting is dim, and comfortable, but could easily converse with another table which we did and made some friends. Right from the get go upon entering, I was very much amazed by what the owners were attempting to portray with the selection of wall art and a unique style that downtown Syracuse needed. There are many attention grabbing features such as wall decor and beautiful images of nature and paintings that really grab the eye and add to the whole experience, hence the name "Noble Cellar". Food: First and foremost, the Noble Cellar knocked it out of the park. We began by being seated at a table and were offered a very extensive drink list. The wait staff were all very polite checking in frequently to see how our meals were and if we needed anything. Water glasses were topped off several times by passing wait staff, and empty plates cleared quickly by various servers looking to help out. Now...onto the food...I'm going to flat out suggest if you're getting an appetizer, to order the charcuterie board, easily a 10/10 with the cheese selection, meats, and the pickling was VERY well done. You will not be disappointed! Several items were pickled and offered a different pickling taste. This was a very good dish. Our main course consisted of the Grilled Onlet Steak and the Mushroom Risotto. Both were fantastic, steak was well cooked and had a TON of amazing flavor, the mushroom Risotto was out of this world and had shaved truffle on top. The food was so good, I decided to order the Jamon Serrano Black Cod as well last minute, and that was exceptional. Dessert, we asked the server to pick for us and she brought us the "Olive Oil cake". I've never had anything like this, and honestly, I wasn't sure how it was going to be...but WOW! Again! out of this world and I HIGHLY recommend this! Definitely a 10/10. Extras: The owner, Rob, came over to greet us during our meal and inquired how our food was and how our experience was going. Rob was very hospitable and caring, and that type of gesture says a lot to me. Our meal was so good we complimented the chef, Tim Haire, to our waitress, and Tim actually came out of the kitchen, mind you while it was extremely busy, to personally thank us for coming in, which I was able to thank him personally for cooking such an exceptional meal and shook his hand. I have to say this is something that I was very thankful for as its little moments and gestures like this, from the chef and business owner Rob, that treat people with respect and leave a lasting impact and a great positive memory. Overall we had such a unique and fun experience. The culture of the Noble Cellar offers a very rich and unique experience, and if you're looking to get out to have a little fun you can easily accomplish that. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a very nice fine dining restaurant. To me, the highlights of the experience lie in not just the amazing food, or the ambience being very unique, (it's nice to not have your typical cookie cutter restaurant as this is entirely the opposite) but the friendliness and personal care the head chef going out of his way from a busy kitchen to thank us for coming, that really was an honor. To Tim and Rob, you guys have done as fantastic job and you should be proud. Tim mentioned the menu will be expanded in the upcoming weekend adding several other main course meals, so I'm very much looking forward to that. See you guys soon.

The staff wear professional and very helpful. The food arrived a little bit late, but it was very delicious and very fresh. We ordered the duck and steak and it was phenomenal. The chocolate pudding as a dessert was amazing too, and the place is very cozy. I wish they had more space though.

Delicious fine dining in an extremely cool atmosphere. A great place to slow down while your servers take care of you and take your time to enjoy a unique culinary experience for this area. Creating amazing food takes time, so try not to go here in a rush. Went here for dinner before a show at the Landmark on a Friday night, which made for a wonderful date night. Our reservations were for 5:30 which was enough time for us to eat an appetizer and dinner but unfortunately we were anxious about time so had to skip dessert, but that's on us! My only qualm was that I wish their non alcoholic drink options were clearer, either listed on the menu or by wait staff. We were offered water (still or sparkling), wine and beer. There is a seasonal mocktail option listed on the menu which we were told about on request (a sign at the bar would be nice?) but otherwise no mention of soft drinks. I am sure they would've provided information on request but NA options should be easily accessible IMO

Noble Cellar is a beautiful location. Ambiance is wonderful. The Duck dinner was fantastic. I will say that the Bass appetizer was not listed as raw fish and it was. I felt that description could have been better. I would not recommend the Brioche appetizer as the bread seemed quite stale. Unfortunately the service was lacking for the night I was there. I waited a while for a table even though I had a reservation and my meal took over an hour to arrive. Regardless, I would try Noble Cellar again because the duck dinner was great.

Noble Cellar is a great addition to the Syracuse food scene (a much needed addition). The food not only tasted great, it looked great!! The char was beautifully plated, well seasoned and cooked perfectly (skin was nice and crispy!). The vegetarian risotto was so good, I wished I had more. Service was attentive, but not quite on par for what I would expect there, but they are new, so I am sure it will improve. The ambiance was nice, the high ceiling made it a tad loud, but we expected that. I am glad they kept the stained glass windows!! Our only wish was that the chairs were more comfortable. My chair was very wobbly and I had to ask for a new one. All in all it is a great restaurant and since our favorite restaurant is no longer around, Noble Cellar has taken its place.

This spot carves out its very own groove by being both tastefully casual and an elite dining experience. The atmosphere is subtle and extremely comfortable. The customer service is the best I've ever seen in Syracuse. Our waiter Anthony is a pro. The food was prepared w care. Special place.

Awesome food; thoughtful menu; friendly and attentive service; beautiful room. My sweetie managed to snag an early reservation at the bar (5:45pm) on a Friday, and the place was pretty hopping when I got there (on time) -- my partner was already seated, with menus. We were promptly greeted and the bartender did a great job of describing the available drafts, and got me a sample of the sour I was curious about, and then a generous pour. The menu descriptions of the beers could be better, but it's early days, and I'd rather they have a great selection (as they do!) than have the perfect prose to describe them! We ordered the pastrami-spiced duck breast to start. It arrived promptly, beautifully plated. The individual pieces looked a bit big to stuff in our mouths, so I tried to cut mine. The table knife wasn't up to the job, but the server appeared out of nowhere with a steak knife, which worked just fine. In retrospect, the pieces were just chewy enough, with a wonderful texture, and were the perfect size to fit in my mouth, so all of that was unnecessary. The flavor was super-savory; I'm not sure whether it tasted of pastrami, but I loved it. I had the arctic char and my partner had the roasted chicken. Both impressed. The texture of the chicken seemed perfect, with plenty of flavor. The potatoes in both dishes (love purple potatoes!) tasted smooth and rich. I'm not a big seafood person, but the char seemed to have a great texture and flavor as well. It took longer for the entree to arrive than the appetizer, but service was attentive and we were delighted to have a chance to sip our beverages and soak in the place. I had somehow left home (an hour away) in an old black t-shirt and hoodie to run some errands in Syracuse -- that attire works for fine dining in San Francisco, but I usually try to at least put on a collared shirt elsewhere! It didn't seem to matter to anybody there, although there were plenty of people wearing ties and just generally dressed up much more. I'd try to dress a bit better, though. I loved the tin ceiling (apparently a relic of previous restaurants in the space) and the clever videos in nicely framed screens on the wall, including what looked like some late-50's film about a trip to Mars. The unisex restrooms were clean and comfortable -- no fancy cloth towels here, but that always seems to be a little over the top for me, anyway. All in all, the vibe of the place seemed to be approachable fine dining. The food was wonderful. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Prices were reasonable (although you can certainly check pics of the menu on-line to determine that for yourself). I can't wait to return -- the menu is full of enticing dishes.

Food is very good, service was excellent and the restaurant is very nice. It is a fine dining experience, never felt rushed and the staff is great. Wine is a little pricey, $43 for a glass of red! Overall good food, great service and nice atmosphere.

Vibe and decor great. Service excellent. The owners both greeted us immediately and were very present and kind in the interactions. If possible, get a seat in the side booths or in the alcove. Generally speaking the seasoning is spot on. Interesting thoughtful menu. The chef definitely gets flavor combinations. I'm a savory guy so I am shocked to say the desserts stole the show. Specifics: Pork belly app - Tasty. Little hard to get a good bite with the pork belly, crispy kale and sliced apples all together. Crushed hazelnuts were sparse and seemed an afterthought. For me, I could've used more apple pieces but I love lots of brightness and acid to cut fat. Butter lettuce salad - fresh and well dressed. This was a great bite when you got it all at once. Blue cheese def could overpower it all if you got too much in a bite. Roasted chicken - Plenty good but not special. Smallish piece of chicken, felt like there could have been a few more pieces of potato. Broccolini was quite good. Seasoned and cooked very well but not memorable. Arctic char - This is a great dish. Purple potatoes stole the show. I don't know how they make them have that taste and texture. Only tricky part was cutting and eating the skin without crushing the fish. Green apple tart - that salted caramel mousse was special --Dulce de leche vibe. This was very very good. Olive oil cake - somehow this was even better. I can't say much more but when you got the cake, whipped yogurt, lemon curd and pistachios in one bite--wow. Great addition to Syracuse food scene.

Truly outstanding. The menu is interesting and superbly executed. We had Tuna crudo and slow roasted pork to start. Elk carpaccio and gnocchi for main. Chocolate cake to end. But that just describes the basics: each dish had subtle elements that elevated the experience. The tuna crudo had diced watermelon pieces that echoed the look of the tuna but offered bright and crunchy contrast. The sauce for the elk carpaccio was out of this world. The pork had a tiny bit of heat along with the other flavors. The gnocchi were perfect light pillows to carry the sweet new corn and cheese sauce. The sorbet was the perfect contrast to the dark chocolate cake. Wine by the glass was no afterthought: each selection interesting. And the after dinner vermouth/sherry was the perfect close. All of this with the luxurious elegance of the space and the warmth and perfection of the waitstaff. JUST GO AND ENJOY THIS EXPERIENCE!

This restaurant is definitely a wonderful place to take a date or just a nice night with a friend. The setting is darker lit and I always feel that sets the right tone for a calming enjoyable time with some amazing food and wine. The service I had was exceptional and I will be back for more. Anyone who is from a big city or is a foodie please check this out and enjoy.

My husband decided to take us here for our Anniversary. He couldn't have made a better choice. They knocked it out of the park. The atmosphere was lovely, the food was mouth watering and the service was impeccable. If you haven't gone yet, you're missing out!!

From the outside of the building I had no idea the absolute culinary gem that was waiting on the other side of the door. I thought I was in the wrong place, it looked like a closed up church but I am so glad I made my friend open the doors and find out. Inside the ambience was fantastic, decor and all the fixtures were gorgeous! They also had screens running in picture frames on the wall which was really neat. Luckily we were hungry so we ordered a bunch of things and shared. Everything we ordered was plated so beautifully, and tasted even better.
