One of the most memorable meals I've had in Boston! Not your average French fare. Flavors are bold and menu is fairly inventive, especially for a French-style bistro. I will return...soon!

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.

From valet parking after horrendous Friday traffic, to an amuse bouche soup surprise, we laughed our way through three courses and a bottle of wine, at superb levels, including subtle duck in sauce, pepper perfect steak, huddled broccolini and a shared cardamon flan. We met, on our left, a visitor from England, avoiding her NY sister, and in our right, a cancer survivor keynote speaker. Great night out. Sorely needed .
