We had a great experience. Appreciated the good table, service, etc. All was very good. It was very busy so it took time for our meals to be served but i did feel that was due to how busy it was. Thank you for the lovely evening.

This restaurant exceeded all my expectations. Everything was excellent, especially the house margaritas, the appetizers (unique), the entrees (cod picatta), and coffee. The service was exceptional. Noise level was noticeably low level. All in all, my new favorite restaurant!

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.

Everything was delicious, especially the beets appetizer and the risotto. Not a lot of vegetarian options on the menu, but they will modify menu items to accommodate vegetarians. Overall, a lovely place for dinner.
