Comments on: Alternative Dining in Syracuse – “Dave’s List” http://davidchu.net/wblog/index.php/2007/03/alternative-dining-in-syracuse-daves-list/ David Chu's Blog - Food and Musings in Syracuse, New York Tue, 09 Mar 2010 23:42:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Dave http://davidchu.net/wblog/index.php/2007/03/alternative-dining-in-syracuse-daves-list/comment-page-1/#comment-1447 Dave Thu, 31 Jul 2008 03:28:13 +0000 http://69.61.87.145/wblog/?p=24#comment-1447 I don't know if I'll write a long post about it now, but I'll have to say that Carrabba's in Fayetteville's Towne Centre is a good place! I'm often not favorably disposed to chain restaurants, but we really had a nice meal at this one. The ravioli was delicious, with a tangy, luscious sauce. I could have easily chowed down about 20 of those. A couple of us also had the trout special that night, and it was very nicely grilled, with just enough spices to enhance it well and still allow the trout to speak. The atmosphere is also pretty nice, with darkish romantic lighting as well as the expected Italian touches. It's also fun to be able to easily see the chefs at work, with dramatic billowing flames appearing every few minutes.

Also, Lao Village and a newcomer, Funk'n'Waffles (delicious belgian waffles), will both be at this year's Art on the Porches festival on Ruskin Ave in Syracuse's Strathmore neighborhood on June 14 (11am-5pm). www.myspace.com/strathmoreartontheporches Did you try the steak calamiri at Joey’s?

I had not heard of Alabrassa. I used to live in Liverpool, and don't get there as often anymore, but sounds like good, simple fare. In other news, I just ate again at Joey's, and it was as good as last time. The fact that our friends treated us made the flavor even more savory! :) Finally, I noticed that Sugar Pearl has cut back on their original very late night hours. They're still going strong, but just not open super-late like they were at first. Frank,

Not exactly sure of their hours, but they're open for lunch most days and I think they serve breakfast and dinner on Saturdays. I've only been there for lunch so far, but what I've had has been very good. They serve a nice tuna sandwich and the turkey and avocado salad is good too. Dave,
