Traveling through New York, we stumbled upon this really lovely location. The service is even more friendly than the reviews can... attest, from the owner to the waitstaff, we were blown away by the kindness and hospitality while also still given our space toenjoy our meal. This place has mastered balance. Super bonus that they were amazing with our Pooch on the patio. Our food wasbeautifully plated, perfect to sometimes large portions paired with fresh ingredients and balanced flavors. You get so much bangfor your buck here as a road tripping foodie. The buratta with fresh grilled peaches, pecans and hot honey is a flavor combo Iam now going to have to have more regularly in my life! The arachinni started with a delightful crunchy exterior that gave wayto tender risotto and flavor packed mushrooms. For beverages, we chose the cider mill mule and the Strawberry Rhubarb negroni. Both were well crafted, the negroni perfectly balanced on just being a tad sweet while still bursting with fresh strawberryflavor and *I believe* Rhubarb bitters. I had the salmon with farfelle and my partner, the quarter chicken. My portion washuge, bright with dill and capers, the pasta al dente. The smoke from the salmon added a beautiful base note to the cream saucethat danced on the line of rich yet light with the offered lemon wedge that I spritzed it with. The chicken.....Oh damn, thechicken! I don't think we have ever had chicken so masterfully prepared that the skin was just the right amount of crispy, theglaze's heat was light and sweet. The meat was moist, falling off the bone. We almost ordered a second! Miraculously, we stillhad room for dessert. The apple cider donut is just as beautiful as the photos in all the reviews show it to be. The donut wasfabulous. As a donut AND autumn lover, I had high hopes and they were not let down. It had great structure, able to support adollop of vanilla bean ice cream without ever becoming stogie. Its flavor was lightly of a Read more

High quality, thoughtful and really well made food. One of our favorite local spots in Syracuse. Their menu changes seasonally,... keeping it fresh and they do takeout. We definitely prefer to sit outside whenever possible and if you're going on a Thursday,Friday or Saturday, be sure to make a reservation. We love the Cider Mill! Read more
Super cute spot in the Syracuse area! Relaxed and homey atmosphere. Friendly and welcoming staff. Cocktails were all good... especially the strawberry jalapeño mule, they do a great job with that! The star of the show were the lamb chop lollipops,uniquely sweet flavor which I don’t typically find. I love that the deviled eggs were dressed with lox and everything bagelseasoning. Entrees came out great as well, they have an option to substitute for beyond meat patties on any of their burgeroptions. Last but not least, desserts were worth getting even though my boyfriend and I were both stuffed! The cider donut oneseems to be the most popular. All around great experience! Read more
Had my Xmas party there last week! It was a great experience! They kept our drinks coming and the food ????????????????
The service was great! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was nice. They served a house made focaccia bread that was very... good. We had the arancini, the NY strip, the Chip N’ Dip burger, and the crème brûlée for dessert. Everything was cooked toperfection and the portions were generous. Great place to have a nice dinner.

Tonight I was the one melting with delight at the table. They've got real talent in the kitchen and behind the bar. Every time I... order I am so pleased. New menu four times a year that is well-balanced and super delicious. This is a real Syracuse area gemthat I'm so grateful for. Definitely takes date night to the next level when the food and drink is that good. Thanks forrespecting gf (gluten-free) as well. Truly appreciate it and feel welcome. Read more
