Phoebe's Restaurant & Coffee Lounge

My sister-in-law and I stopped in after a visit to a family member. The coffee, beer and soup was great. My quiche was good, but, the salad had no dressing on it. The sandwich was terrible and after two bites, couldn’t be finished. All the waitress said was “that’s too bad”. Never asked to refill coffee, water or asked if another beer was wanted. Very disappointing experience.

This place has been around since I was a kid and I have never gone inside or eaten there until last evening. All I can say now is that it was a mistake that I had never gone there. The first thing that catches your eye is the manner in which the place is decorated. The restaurant has so much character. Nestled in a historic Syracuse building, the restaurant has so much charm and character. From the skylighted, Atrium type centerpiece ceiling, to the split-level design, to the lacquered wainscoting in the bathrooms, Phoebe's is as much a showcase of beautiful interior decorating as it is a restaurant with good food. The place has private meeting rooms that can hold large parties in private areas and it has a generous sized dining room--Suprise for all of us who thought Phoebe's was just the small, green, garden restaurant on the corner. The menu choices are wide ranged and there is a good selection of beer, wine and spirits. This is a must visit restaurant and somewhat of a well-kept secret even though it's been right out in the open forever. Right there on the corner of Genesee and Irving, Phoebe's hides in plain sight with plenty of parking. The wait staff was friendly but, they tended to be very busy. The food was good, prtions ample and the atmosphere is great.

We loved it. Very good food. Staff great. Nice restaurant. Street parking... so that can be tough. Right across the street from Syracuse Stage.

It was a cute place and the staff were nice.
I ordered a chicken burger which I had to return because the chicken was inedible. Unfortunately, I already a had eaten two bites and ended up spending the next 12 hours vomiting.
It was also over priced.

Stopped in after passing by phoebe's for months. It was worth the stop! The food was amazing! Hot and ready breakfast burritos. We came in with 4 people which overwhelmed the wait staff a bit as it's a simple coffee bar in the morning but it was worth it. Definitely looking forward to going back for lunch

Very nice restaurant in the university area. Casual and business atmosphere. Attentive servers and nice bar. It was a good choice to meet friends for happy hour

Fantastic service and amazing food. We went there for my wife's birthday dinner and had an awesome time. We had the salmon dinners with a half priced bottle of wine because it was wine Wednesday and she had an amazing piece of chocolate cheesecake with a raspberry drizzle. They even put a candle in it for her. Our server Alicia was outstanding. I highly recommend anyone who is in the area or is coming to the area to visit this establishment!! Thanks again for a wonderful and enjoyable time.

My great Aunt was born (1894) and raised in Syracuse. Having a delicious lunch at “Phoebe’s” in Syracuse was great fun. The service was excellent and the Phoebe salad was delicious!

I walked by in the afternoon and decided to stop in for some soup. Warm and delicious The coffee bar area was really cozy. And so went back for dinner. The menu has a nice variety. Everything was homemade. Desserts are wonderful. There are also NYS beers on tap. And lots of wine choices.

I had the most amazing bartender and met the GM who was fabulous. I’m in the industry as well and it was nice to get great customer service and great food/ beer. This place should be up for some kind of award! The Nashville sandwich is to die for!
