I Had A Delightful Evening Dining With A Dear Friend. Our Night Started Of With Wonderful Bread , Generously Accompanied By A Velvety Spread Of Butter. Eventually, Our Palates Unanimously Agreed On A Succulent Burger And Golden, Crispy Fries— An Impeccable Choice That Truly Lived Up To Our Expectations!! As The Night Drew To A Close, We Indulged In The Ethereal Delight Of Banana Flavored Ice Cream, Leaving Us Thoroughly Astounded By Its Exquisite Taste And Impeccable Presentation.

It wasn't just dinner but a culinary experience! From drinks to dessert, and everything in between! The staff was attentive and knowledgeable of the chef's vision. Thanks Nikki for serving up excellence ♡♡♡

Set at the bar and was very happy with the wine recommended by the bartender. got a delicious meal and had a delightful time. Highly recommended.

Great spot for a nice dinner. Took my wife here for our anniversary and we were not disappointed. The sea scallop appetizer was great. We ordered chicken pot pie and a chicken Cobb salad and they were delicious.

Fantastic experience from start to finish! Service was fantastic. The cocktails were strong and they had a well stocked bar. All of our food was super tasty 🤤🤤 My boyfriend could not stop talking about his Iberico steak which was delicious! My petite filet was temped perfectly, had a fantastic char and the Demi was flavorful. The smoked andouille sausage app was a total surprise, very clunky on the plate but rediculously tasty! Overall we will definitely be back. I've had meals that were triple the price and nowhere near as good.

We had an incredible meal at Motus. Niki was our waiter. She couldn’t have been nicer and more professional. Food was wonderful.

Had a great birthday dinner with my wife. It was our first time going to Mōtus Utica. They have a $65 per person prix fixe four course menu which we went with. We got beef empanadas as an extra appetizer. The mushrooms were an add on to the main course. Relaxed, attentive, and personal service. Highly recommend eating here anytime. Plan a couple hours if you’re looking to enjoy this worthwhile dining experience.

My wife and I went to Motus for dinner this past weekend. It was absolutely delicious!! Anna our waitress was beyond exceptional. We ordered from the pre fix menu and every part from the appetizers to the bread to the special in between treats to the main course and finally dessert were fabulous. I can’t forget about the enjoyable drinks we both had as well. It was a wonderful dining experience. Thank you!

My husband & I had dinner here for the first time last night and it was phenomenal! You can really tell how passionate the chef and kitchen staff are about cooking through the food they serve. Everything we ate was incredible and locally sourced. The wait staff were also super accommodating and amazing when we showed up with no reservation and I had dietary restrictions. I would give this place more stars if I could! If you’re thinking about going here—go go go!

Pretty fantastic place, super delicious menu, highly recommend the meat and cheese plate! Yum! Staff were friendly and had a good sense of humor.

My husband and I decided to have dinner here to celebrate our wedding anniversary and it was so amazing!

Wow! White linen 5-star dining in the middle of downtown Utica. So delicious and upscale with professional service. Lovely decor. A perfect meal.

Motus has some of the best food in the area. It is extra special because the ingredients are so fresh and the food healthy. Definitely a must try!

Food and service was absolutely amazing!! I got the filet mingon with bearnise sauce and sweet potato/rosemary bread pudding and orange & maple glazed broccolini. Meat was cooked perfect at medium rare and so tender. Of course, went with the backpackers lunch to start. That will always be my favorite, it had a variety of different cheeses, Meats and pickled items. It is a must when visiting Motus! Service was on point as usual. Very knowledgeable about the dishes they served and gave great recommendations. As always, it was a great evening at Motus!!!

Fantastic food. Fantastic service. Beautiful atmosphere. One of the best fine dining experiences upstate.

Great service, amazing food. The Porterhouse steak was the best. Definitely will be going back.

This was our first time here and we really enjoyed our night out at Mōtus. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was nice as well as service. Our waiter, Joshua, was so nice and helpful with explaining their new menu. We will be back again.

My only regret was not going light enough on breakfast and lunch to truly indulge in an appetizer and dessert here. The Tijuana Daisy with watermelon and Tequila alone was worth coming for, and the Tri Tip was perfectly prepared and accompanied by a root vegetable medley. Definitely go here, but leave room for more courses than I managed to fit!

I do not have one complaint of this place. Amazing food, amazing drinks, amazing servers. Overall, just an amazing option for food in this area!

A really special dining experience that's unlike a lot of supposed "high end" establishments

I'm a stickler for service and their timing was perfect, giving me and my husband time to drink, talk and contemplate the delicious courses from the Prix Fixe menu. It means a lot when wait staff waits for EVERYONE to be done before collecting plates!

Everything was very tasty and unique, and not covered over by butter and salt like so many other restaurants. The servings weren't small but were the perfect amount of food. Drinks were also delicious!

One note is that we had two different waitresses ask us if everything was good at least 8 times. While this is way better than inattentive staff and they were super polite, it can get a little irritating after a while, but this is not a deal breaker.

This should be your go to for any special occasions or romantic nights out. Will be coming back again for sure!
