Casa Susanna

Casa Susanna is tucked away in a refurbished motel lodge-turned-luxury resort in Leeds, but don't let its sleepy exterior fool you—this is one of the hottest dinner spots in all of Upstate right now. The Jalisco restaurant is worth seeking out no matter where you’re staying for incredible masa and goat birria in a dining room that looks like it could have been AI generated from Mad Men concept art and issues of Architectural Digest. Dishes like scallop aguachile are so pretty you’ll momentarily resist digging into it with a tostada shard, but you’ll get over it as soon as the scallops melt onto your tongue.
