Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Utica

Our service was great. She was helpful and checked on us often. 4 of us for dinner. I had the Soprano (Tony’s favorite) but I left out olives and spinach. No flavor. Yes…spicy. Would not recommend. Lasagna was very good. Blackened salmon fettuccine very good. If I were to compare here to Spago’s in Canada, I would say Spago’s is better but this comes in a close 2nd. I would have liked my pasta a bit more Al dente.

I’ve been to Eddie V’s in Troy a few times, but my recent experience with our waitress, Jody, was hands down the best I’ve ever had. She was incredibly attentive, accommodating, and went above and beyond to ensure that our night was special. Jody didn’t just provide great service—she overextended herself in the best way, making my husband, our friends, and me feel truly valued. Her warmth, professionalism, and personal touches elevated the entire evening. I would gladly return just to have Jody as my waitress again. She was simply amazing!

It’s always a great dining experience at Ocean Prime. I ordered the chef’s special Chilean Sea Bass served over scalloped potatoes and crab. It was excellent. My friend ordered the scallops and they were great. The ambience and service were perfect.

Very festive atmosphere for the holidays. Excellent food and exceptional service. Our server, Jimmy was outstanding. Definitely will be back and requesting his section. If you are looking for a fun place to gather with friends, this is the place to go!

We had a wonderful dinner at Selden Standard. Ahsley our waitress was very attentive as were the servers who brought out each dish. Explaining what each one was and confirming that there was none of the allergy items I had mention. The food was delicious and I loved the small plates so that we could try everything. Will definitley be back.
