Very good food with great service and friendly staff. Creative menu with fresh and diverse recipes. I especially enjoyed the create your own Martini menu. Quaint and quiet location you would never notice on the outside walking or driving by, but when you enter, there is a vibrant energy of people and staff who seem to love food & libations. Cheers!

About the restaurant

Originally known as Phoebe's Garden Café, the restaurant has a long and colorful history in Syracuse. Local lore claims that the building was originally a brothel, and Phoebe was its madam.
In the summer of 2004, Phoebe's experienced a refreshing makeover with a bright new look in the atrium dining room with fresh paint, new upholstery, and artwork. The coffee lounge also opened that year, and it became an instant hit with the surrounding university and business crowd. Those changes also warranted a new name to reflect the updated attitude and ambiance: Phoebe's Restaurant and Coffee Lounge. Classic elements of Phoebe's remain untouched—the French onion soup and enticing crème brulee, for example, but other menu items change seasonally.
The Lounge also has its own seating area and free wireless internet capabilities. Phoebe's old world charm is right at home in a revitalized area of the city.

I would have to say this is the best restaurant in the Skaneateles/Auburn area. Our meal was fabulous. We had Pumpkin Curry Soup, pork belly app (one of the best we have had), Short rib, and sweet potato gnocchi. I hate to admit it, but we also had sticky toffee cake for desert. Service and the decor is wonderful. Just go there, you won’t be disappointed

The food was absolutely phenomenal. We really enjoyed the perfectly cooked Churrasco and the Pollo Guisado as well as the sides that went with it. The only downside was that they don't have a liquor license, but we're not big drinkers so it wasn't a show stopper.
