    Tully, N.Y. — Mother Nature, like an unruly child at the next table or an unhinged ex storming through the dining room to confront you, did her best to blow up our plans for a leisurely outdoor dinner at The Sweet Basil in Tully. Situated in a historic house on Clinton Street in the village, the nearly 17-year-old restaurant has a large outdoor porch and adjacent brick-lined patio that seems perfect for dinner and an extended stay with glass of wine or pint of beer.

    Cazenovia, N.Y. — “Wok and roll nachos.”The menu at Meier’s Creek Brewing Co. in Cazenovia whispered these words to me, demanding my attention and a place on our dinner order. We were deep into our 45-minute wait at the bar, so maybe my hungry brain was playing tricks on me. It wasn’t the alcohol, as the woefully understaffed bar couldn’t keep up with its seated customers while prepping drinks for diners and the walk-up line. Either way, the nachos ($20) were the right call.

    Syracuse, N.Y. — It took a few minutes before we could start into our bowl of crispy duck noodle soup at Syracuse’s Su Su Dim Sum. The steaming bowl of soup fogged my glasses, making it impossible to see exactly what I was eating. This bowl of soup ($15.95) starts with a super savory housemade duck broth. Clear and tinted brown, the broth picked up the fatty richness of bird while more subtle flavors of ginger and soy lurked alongside.
