The Back Deck - Manlius

My first experience with this restaurant was during the COVID-19 pandemic, when they offered full course meals for takeout. As a new mother with two babies under two years old, this option was a lifesaver.

I had an amazing experience at Scenic Root tonight! The food was exceptional, and the waiter frequently checked in on us throughout the night to ensure we were taken care of.

The owner, Mike McDonough, opened The Scenic Root in 2016 next to Swan Pond in Manlius. The restaurant is located in a space that previously housed several other restaurants, including Bella Cigna.
