hidden gem in syracruse. in town for easter, we happened to see the restaurant sign down the block. they have two menus due to their sister restaurant, so you get a steakhouse menu and a thai menu. the ambiance and decor is top notch and they had live music in the bar (a bassist and violin i believe). we had the berkshire pork, a ribeye, the famous tamarind duck, and the scallops special. everything was absolutely gorgeous on the plate and delicious. we tried a few things off their drinks menu, including honey whiskey which was smooth. the desserts were what put this experience over the top. the "lady's slipper" and the "red balloon" were extravagant and playful. the lady's slipper was literally a piece of cake formed to a high heel, withchocolateganache and darkchocolateformed into a butterfly to garnish it. the next table asked if they could take pictures of it as well. the red balloon is sorbet that has been frozen in liquid nitrogen, so you have to break it open to eat it. just stunning. i highly recommend this restaurant, and can say it was one of my all-time best dining experiences. i travel the country for destinations like this, and it was lucky that we stumbled upon this one with no research or referral. i will be back. our waiter was tops, and handled our many questions, phototaking, and constant drink-ordering with a smile and a nod.
