Motus Utica

Motus Utica is a modern American restaurant and gastropub in Utica. The kitchen works from a seasonally inspired menu, and the room is meant to feel inviting, whether for a full dinner or a drink with friends. The gastropub label means pub-style comfort with a more thoughtful kitchen behind it.

Creative cocktails are part of the draw, which fits the gastropub idea of serious food and a proper drink program under one roof. Because the menu follows the seasons, what lands on the plate shifts through the year, and regulars can expect new dishes to try.
