What’s Upstate NY’s Oneida County Restaurant Week

Presented by Casa Imports | July 13–24, 2025

Get ready to unleash your appetite—Oneida County Restaurant Week is finally here! From July 13 through 24, over 50 locally owned restaurants are serving up exclusive prix-fixe menus and limited-time specials to showcase the bold flavors and diverse cultures that make this region a foodie favorite.

Whether you’re a die-hard regular at your neighborhood diner or a culinary explorer on the hunt for something new, Restaurant Week is your chance to try the best of what Oneida County has to offer—at prices that won’t break the bank.

And we’re not just talking about pizza and wings (though we’ve got those too). Think Mediterranean from Zeina’s and The Phoenician, Greek from Symeon’s, fresh seafood at The Boiling Seafood, and globally inspired flavors from Silk Utica, EcuaMex, and El Jarocho.

Looking for upscale dining? Try the elegance of Beeches Manor or the waterfront charm of Portofino.

Craving comfort food with flair? Check out Teddy’s Treats at Verona Beach State Park or the local brews at Saranac’s 1888 Biergarten & Tavern or pub grub and Guinness at Five Points Pub.

This is more than a week of good eats—it’s a celebration of the community, culture, and creativity behind every kitchen door.

So how does it work?
Each restaurant will feature a special menu or deal—like a 3-course meal at a fixed price ($15–$50), or an exclusive Restaurant Week special crafted just for the occasion. It’s easy:

✅ Pick a spot
✅ Show up hungry
✅ Try something new
✅ Support local

We’ll even have a digital Restaurant Week Passport to help you track your visits and earn points toward rewards and prizes!
