Best Seafood Restaurants in Syracuse University

Ocean Blue is hands-down the best restaurant in Utica. The lunch menu has very reasonable prices, and the dinner menu, while a bit more expensive, is still excellent value for the quality of the food and the bespoke experience. Our server was knowledgeable, personable, and professional and she attended to everyone's preferences well. Everyone's food was excellently prepared. The desserts are sizable. We shared the flourless chocolate cake (divine) and the very best key lime pie I've ever tasted. If budget is a big concern, at least come for lunch - it's memorable.

I had a cheeseburger abd onion rings, and honestly they were very mediocre. No seasoning at all, no taste and the onion rings were over cooked and hard. The 3 people I was with all got a seafood boil, and loved it. It was little pricey for what they got, I felt. The service was great! Our waitress was quick and friendly.

Service was great - made to feel special. Fantastic food

Everything was great. Server never bothered us but as nice as that seems we had to ask for Creamer, ask for Creamer (2xs) and she brought our food and we didn't see again until the check came.

It is a true hidden gem! Tucked away inside the NYS Fairgrounds it is actually more convenient since there's ample parking and pretty much in a secured area. Upon arrival we were greeted by a friendly hostess and sat down at a table that is surely a delight for two since it's larger than the average. Food was impeccable and the drinks were spot on. Our server Adam was very pleasant and attentive. I highly recommend Daniella's if you want a more private intimate gathering without the hassle of traffic.
