This place is A M A Z I N G ! Hands down the best service and French onion soup I’ve ever had. The servers all work the tables together your never without a beverage; food, cocktail, etc. very attentive and professional. They all work together like a well oiled machine. Drinks, appetizers, entrees, coffee and dessert! It’s all coursed out and as such a small establishment they work their behinds off!! Flawless service, food, and atmosphere! 10/10 recommend! The Junk in the Trunk is the best dessert ever!! If available try it ! Or the butterscotch cream pie. It’s so nostalgic! As if your grandmother makes it! Lots of love and support to this establishment! Though parking may be a hassle but it’s well worth the wait! Stop in anytime for great food, drinks and service! Did I mention it’s family owned ?! The best of the best!

Marissa McKenna

We are from PA but were in NY for a visit. We found this little place online and decided to go based on the good reviews. It didn't disappoint. Service was amazing, atmosphere was nice, and food was great.

Brianna Curcio

Writing this review as I’m still at the restaurant because I’m just completely blown away! This place is phenomenal. Everything. Service, food, atmosphere. The staff and owners are so sweet and on their game! Highly recommend!!! Oh and the carrot cake is amazing and ginormous

Kaitlyn

This place is phenomenal. We were in the area and wanted to try something new. Looked up places nearby and this one came up. Right from walking in the door we were greeted with a smile and seated right away. Our waiter promptly came over with menus and water. We also got fresh bread with seasonings and parmesan and oil on the table to go with it. Our appetizer was the poutine which came with roast beef and was so incredibly tender. We also got the dip sandwich and the short rib grilled cheese. Both were amazing and loaded with meat. We could only eat half our sandwich before we were full. Everything came out quickly and our cups were never empty. The service from everyone was the best I've had in a long time and the food was phenomenal. We'll be enjoying our leftovers and definitely be coming back.

Really great meal, attentive service and cozy atmosphere!

Katie Kimberly

Tried this place with a friend a few weeks ago. Staff very friendly and attentive, atmosphere relaxing. Amazing old fashioned drinks. Will be coming back.

Gino Geruntino

Stopped at this place on a whim while out in Syracuse for a work trip and I was NOT disappointed. The pot roast poutine was the perfect mix of fries, gravy, meat, and cheese and was a great portion. My coworker's short rib grilled cheese was piled high. Service was awesome and definitely not what I was expecting from a pub. The crew there is attentive and helpful, and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. If you're in the area, definitely stop by!

We decided to stop in for a quick late lunch, which turned into a delightful couple hours. This is an AMAZING historical Restaurant in Syracuse/DeWitt area. Superior food, exceptional staff coupled with a traditional ’Cheers’ vibe. Shawn prepared the BEST chocolate martini(s) I have ever had. Brian shared intellectual reflections on human response & Brandon with his quick wit & exceptional imagery made the afternoon a delight. We need to stop here weekly to bring life’s craziness into focus. Love this place. Thank you ❤️.

I went last night to the Dark Horse Tavern for the first time. I loved it. The atmosphere is small but cozy. My Fiddlehead was nice and frosty. But the food and service were amazing! We ordered the D.H.T. Wings and Poutine fit appetizers. Pasta Bolognese, Short Rib Grilled Cheese for the main course. Everything was fresh and homemade, packed with flavor. The service was right on the spot with their timing and recommendations.

Ken Milligan

Great food and service. The server was very attentive and made good recommendations when questioned about some of the menu options.

Michael Lee

Happened in here while traveling through upstate NY and Wow -what a hidden gem! Very small space with an even smaller kitchen, but the service is excellent and the food is, too. The parking lot is tiny and you will struggle to find a spot, but I promise it's worth the effort. Bartenders were very friendly and made a great Long Island. The seating is tight and so are the walkways, you will be very close to others on a busy night, so if that's not your thing maybe visit on a weekday. The salmon was perfectly prepared and the honey sauce was an excellent complement, not overpowering of the salmon. I'd like to see them in a larger space, but I also fear it might steal away part of their charm.

Christine Purpura

This place has such a warm and inviting atmosphere right off the bat. Being from out of town, it was recommended to us as a place to go for lunch and we couldn’t have been happier. The staff was helpful and the food was absolutely fresh and delicious. Their seasonally based menu really hit the spot for us. Nothing says summer like a fresh greens salad with berries on top! The deserts were all so decadent it was hard to decide, but the raspberry-lemon smash cake won out in the end. Definitely go here for great food if you are in the area.

Christy Knowlton

First time here & we LOVED it. The food portions are HUGE. The desserts are to die for. One dessert would easily have fed all 4 of us. Plus they have a fantastic staff. Very attentive, friendly, efficient. We will definitely be back.

Whenever I see chicken riggies on a menu, I usually order it. The Dark Horse version of this regional dish is outstanding, one of the best I've ever had and better than many top rated Italian restaurants in Syracuse, Rome, and Utica. When we arrived with another couple at 5:15 p.m. on a weeknight, we were seated immediately. In this regard, we were lucky to arrive early because they do not take reservations. Within a half hour of our arrival, the dining room and bar filled up and the noise level reached a point where it was nearly impossible for us to converse with our friends. The restaurant really needs some soundproofing tiles on the ceiling. The service was efficient and friendly even though the servers appeared to be assigned too many tables. So, 5 stars for the food and service, and 2.5 stars for the ambience.

We felt like we were being rushed thru our meal. Servicer where quick to pickup our plates and bring the bill. I know..this can be a good thing in some restaurants but we wanted to enjoy, take our time. Also the food (salads) were so so.
