I've been to Syrah a few times for dinner. I am always a happy happy camper when I leave. The food is more than terrific, it is a perfect balance of high end dining and home cooking. But, after reading the "burger wars" in our local newspaper, I decided I needed to go for lunch, just to have the burger. Am I glad I did? You betcha! A perfectly grilled ground chuck burger, on a perfectly toasted bun (how it got so toasty without getting overly brown? I just don't know) served with some wonderful fantastic house made bread and butter pickles and a heaping serving of crisp and tender fries (seasoned just right with salt and a bit of parsley); Yummers! I chose to have the Syrah vertical to taste with my burger, if you choose a bottle or glass, go with the Longboard Syrah, it's a great match. And if you really want to be entertained, sit at the counter and watch the chefs prepare the food!
LindySez: Why go to Dennys, Chilis, Applebees or Cocos for a burger? For about a buck fifty more, you get excellent service, along with a perfectly cooked burger and a great presentation. Oh, and did I mention the fries? I say OK Syrah Syrah!
We've only recently tried Syrah, Every meal we have had there has been most spectacular. The flavors of their sauces are wonderful. Their Heirloom tomato salad to die for. The desserts are excellent.
The service has been very attentive without being overbearing.
Good Job!
Four of us had a most memorable meal at Syrah with wonderful service. The duck, short ribs and crab cakes are A+++. The waiter's recommendation for wine was a perfect pair with our food. Josh Silver, the chef, took time to come to our table to discuss our meal and make suggestions for winery visits for the next day. The best came last...with the chef recommending a cheese plate with a little port. Worth every cent.
