Motus

Another wonderful meal at Motus. Always something new to try and we’ve yet to be disappointed. The staff are excellent, friendly and well informed. Great wine and beer menu.

Our first visit to Motus exceeded our expectations. Will be going back.

Great food, great service, not too loud at bar. Never disappoints!

Motus is a gem. Lovely service, beautiful space, interesting menu and wallet-friendly wine list. Cooking is top notch. Can't wait to return.

Great service, nice presentation, beautifully prepared and inventive food. A real gem. Drink prices a little high, but they are everywhere!

Excellent food, lovely atmosphere, impeccable service!

Patrick is a great bartender and Nicole is equally as good as a server. They were extremely attentive as always and the food was excellent. Yet another wonderful dining experience.

Wow! Beautiful food - presentation was stunning. Oh, and the taste was just as amazing. I was so impressed with this restaurant. It gets good reviews but they didn’t do it justice. FANTASTIC!

Food,cocktails and staff were incredible. Great night.

Food was just ok. For the price (almost $200 w/tip) I want to be wowed. My steak was over cooked (my husbands was cooked to order) potato rounds dry, and carrots quite Al dente, sausage and beans on the tasting menu were not very flavorful, parsnip chips with romesco sauce were amazing. Wine was good. Dessert was very good. Honey ice cream was the favorite of the desserts. Server was friendly.

We had an excellent experience for my sister's birthday. The food was superb. I got the Prix Fixe menu. So good! Local ingredients and plenty of options. This is a fine dining gem in Utica.

This was our first time here and we were really impressed with the attentive and friendly service, the music and low volume din, and especially the incredible entrees. We will be back!

Excellent farm to table restaurant in Utica. Great atmosphere. Fantastic service. Excellent food.

We had an excellent experience overall. The desserts were especially good. Their work with beets is incredible.

Alicia made our first visit extremely enjoyable. She provided my wife and I with prompt friendly service. The atmosphere was great. The food was amazing and we I will definitely be back!!! Great work team, you knocked it out of the park!!! Thanks for a wonderful experience.

The service was impeccable! Food was fabulous! The atmosphere was very comfortable.

Great service, great cocktails, and delicious food. We told them we had a movie to go to and they made sure we got out of there to make our movie on time.

It’s always an amazing experience here. The food is top notch and the service is impeccable. The cocktails are honestly something special so don’t be afraid to pair one or two with dinner.

Such a lovely place. The staff is excellent and well versed in menu and drinks. I had the cod off the menu and it was perfectly prepared and had a nice presentation. All of the meals were served fresh and hot.

Second time here at Motus and it did not disappoint! Fresh and local ingredients mixed with the friendly staff equals a great dining experience!

Exceptional food and service. Glad we had a booth in the back. Cozier; more private. Wouldn’t like to sit in open area. Expect privacy/intimacy at high end restaurants.

My fiancé and I just moved to Utica and Motus has become one of our go to dinner spots. We had the scallop appetizer and it was to die for. The service is tremendous and the ambiance is perfect.

5 stars across the board....a little more costly than most restaurants in Utica, but the superior quality still makes it an outstanding value. Will definitely be back...

Food was great, and the service was awesome. A bit noisy, though. It was our first time there, and I was expecting a quieter atmosphere for conversation. It is a bit pricey for the portions.

Five of us had dinner at Motus on Friday night. Everyone enjoyed their meals and Nicole took fabulous care of us. Food was presented beautifully and was delicious. The Backpacker's Lunch starter deserves a special mention and we fought over the churro dessert. :) We had a delightful time and will definitely be back!

Awesome food and service. Our favorite place

Great service, wonderful meals. Perfect start to the New Year!

Had a great experience. Drinks were a bit pricey. Food was excellent.

We love this place. After living in NYC, Chicago and Boston, we miss the big city dinning. Utica has amazing Italian food, but this place has very unique dishes. We love it !

Was very quiet early but as the tables filled up, the sound level increased , however was still able to converse.

Hands down my favorite place to eat in Utica, NY. This restaurant has an ever changing menu that shows that the owners love what they do, and think about what their patrons would enjoy. I highly recommend this place. It’s not inexpensive, but it’s worth it.

Always a pleasure dining here. Great atmosphere and food!

Excellent in every way! I would not hesitate to recommend Motus to friends or business associates.

Great time as usual!!!!

What a find! The prix fixe menu provides 4 courses of scrumptious discoveries. A delightful evening!

We went there to celebrate a birthday. Our waiter was friendly, knowledgeable and funny. The service was prompt, non intrusive and the food was delicious. The serving sizes were just right. We were full from dinner but our waiter came out with two tiny chocolate chip cookies with a candle for the birthday. It was just right.

Awesome experience last night. The food came at a timely manner and was done extremely well, hats off to the chef. Can’t wait to go back again.

Great food and beverage. Nicole was great. Food was spot on a usual. Really like the way they do the food tasting. Having choices is awesome.

Food was fantastic, but the service was extremely slow. We went on an evening when many patrons were trying to make a show at the Stanley, and I think they didn’t even think about our order until all those patrons had gone. We waited about an hour just for bread!

Somehow the food, while complex/fit for foodies, is never snobby and always has a “fun” element to it. Also love the frequency of change to the menu. Another Utica gem. The more the merrier.
PS: More of a value if you can avoid the delicious cocktails...but you won’t.
