The Loft

Had lunch at Vesper Hills last weekend. Being a warm, sunny day, we ate out on the deck to enjoy the breathtaking scenery. Even if the food hadn’t been so good, we might have have loved the place just for that. The food is casual, and just as wonderful as the scenery: paninis, burgers and salads. My Caprese Panini was made with tasty, fresh ingredients. (My one quibble was with the bread; it was cut pretty thick and didn’t taste quite as special as the fresh tomato, mozzarella and pesto inside.) Our waitress was a very attentive, even though she had another party indoors at the other end of the building, and had to dash back and forth between us. Everyone in my party enjoyed their meals. This place is definitely worth the drive.

Ate lunch at The Loft at Vesper Hills last Saturday. The Mullefetto and Smoked Salmon BLT sandwiches rocked! I challenge anyone to fine the same quality food in downtown Syracuse. The remodeled restaurant and great views of Lake Otisco make this a must see place for lunch and dinner. We will come back regularly!

What a great surprise. Lived nearby for years and never came till tonight. Wonderful view of Otisco Lake. We had an ahi tuna served on greens and a Slurping Shrimp bowl both of which were excellent. Watchmen the sun set as we ate out on the deck.

Limited menu but innovative dishes. Small but nice microbrew and wine selection. Menu seems to change frequently. Prices are reasonable.
Staff is friendly and the scenery is great!
If you are in the area, it is a good bet. I’m not sure if I would drive down from Syracuse just to eat here, but if you are in the area, stop by you probably won’t be disappointed.

Ate there last Friday, had the fish fry more breading than fish. No question someone is trying hard to establish a fine restaurant with some beautiful scenery but once you sit down at your table you will quickly see the view disappear as all the windows are installed well above eye level. What a mistake
