Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Sturbridge

Fantastic food, fantanstic drinks. There are not that many fine food restaurants in Newton, Sycamore is the rare example of the one holding the high quality mark. Enjoyed it a lot.

Reserved early Valentine’s Day dinner. Got seated immediately. (there were couples waiting, I guess wo reservations) Waitress, Laurie, was very good. Meals were delicious pot roast for me; filet mignon. The filet was supposed to be medium but came well done, but it was taken back and replaced by a new perfectly done one. The waitress was very apologetic as was the manager (?) who offered a free dessert. The atmosphere (being in a historic NE Inn) was the icing on the cake. Been there several times in last 40yrs and always enjoyed it!

An absolute exquisite dining experience with incredible service, fine wines, and a wonderful cozy atmosphere. This is absolutely my favorite restaurant! Is the only place that I go where I never put anything on the steak. No salt or pepper or anything. The way it is seasoned and the way it comes is perfect every time. I’ve been going to J. Gilbert for 25 years and it’s amazing that I’ve never had to send anything back to the kitchen. They are so careful in their preparation and so precise. Such high-quality food. It’s also the restaurant I go to for every one of my birthdays!

This is the second time I visit Wills and planning to come back it’s been a great experience The menu is big but the handle it so well innovative dishes and great quality of the food Service is also fantastic

Christmas Eve dinner. Festive, lively atmosphere without being too loud for easy conversation. Service was excellent, beginning with the accommodation of a late addition guest. Staff was there for every need and question yet never made us feel rushed—even though our meal went past closing. I expected great food and was not disappointed. Oysters were particularly good and French-pressed coffee always adds a great finishing touch. My teenagers had a great time and have a new appreciation for real food. Highly recommend.
