A fine dining experience is way more than an experience, it is a memory you'll never forget. If you're looking for something like that, you have to check this list out.

We are pretty lucky in the Utica area, to be honest, we have a lot of places that offer up a really good fine dining experience. The other huge positive for the restaurants that do it in the Utica area is the pricing. Sometimes fine dining can be a little bit expensive, or even more than that. But here, many of these places offer it up for a pretty affordable price. Your bank account sure likes that!

Another good thing about this list, it has a little something for everyone. Do you like seafood? There is definitely an option or two that will tickle your fancy. Maybe a nice thick and juicy steak is more your thing? Almost all of the restaurants have an option for that too.

  1. Motus
  2. The Tailor & The Cook
  3. Cafe Canole
  4. The Trackside Restaurant
  5. Ancora!
  6. The Willows
  7. Ocean Blue Restaurant & Oyster Bar
  8. Nola's
  9. Delmonico's

What do you think of the list, was Yelp pretty accurate? The Tailor and The Cook is definitely one of those restaurants everyone should try once. I kind of thought they might have been number one. Coming in at number two isn't any slight on them though, very high ranking.

Fine dining is good and all, but what if you're really just craving a good takeout dish of Chinese food. Luckily for you, we have a list for that too. Here are the best places for some delicious Chinese in the Utica-Rome area.
