    My girlfriend and I had an amazing experience last night at Sycamore celebrating our 1 year anniversary. We were greeted with warm smiles and 2 glasses of champagne by the owner, Brian. As non-drinkers, we kindly declined them but we were so thankful for the thoughtful gesture. We were sat down at our requested table to relive our first date which made for a special evening. Incredible service, delicious food, and romantic ambiance. We love Sycamore and can’t wait to come back again next year.

    One of our favorite restaurants when we visit Boston. We always get the onion dip appetizer and at least one of us orders the scallops, but everything we’ve tried has been delicious. Espresso martini is excellent.

    Our request to change reservation time was graciously honored and met. Our anniversary was ceremoniously recognized on arrival. Cami, our server, couldn't have been nicer and perfectly attentive from our cocktails and appetizers through delicious, well prepared entrees to our complimentary anniversary dessert. We will be back soon!!
