Some of our most loved date nights are the following places! We won't give you too many menu details since you can look all these places up, but we will definitely share some of our personal thoughts! Whether you are local or visiting Syracuse, we hope you can enjoy some of these spots during our wedding week.

The Preserve at 405: There was a time that we were going here weekly... We love the variety of delicious entrees, shareable unique pizzas, cocktails, and ambiance! Unfortunately you do need a reservation, but we have gotten lucky walking in or eating at the bar!

Finally Ours: This is probably the best diner in Syracuse, and the portions are huge! Colin's parents can be found there quite frequently...

Francesca's (patio): We specify patio, because good food + vibes make the best date night. You will likely need a reservation since it is a nicer restaurant.

Water St Bagel: Best bagel sandwiches in town. We love to walk over to Recess and order a coffee after grabbing our bagels!

Tallmans Cocktail (or mocktail) Club: We love to stop here before or after dinner. It is pricey, but they make everything fresh in front of you and we have never had a bad sip.

Honorable mentions...

Dinosaur BBQ: A Syracuse staple, and a staple in our relationship- We had our first date here and were coincidentally en route here when Colin asked Natasha to make it "official".

Chik fil A: Easy, tried, and true.

We wish you could try Natasha's dad's Biryani (inspired by her mother) or Colin's dad's Sunday Sauce!
