sycamore.

Sycamore is a great neighborhood restaurant. The food, in general, is consistently good. We can usually count on a good meal here. The menu is small but has a good variety. The meats, soups, and pastas are done well. The fish dishes are sometimes inconsistent. Limited dessert choices but they are usually good. My only complaint is that the staff rushes to clear plates even though we were not done eating, as time gets close to the reservation time limit. A few times, they took the plates with food away before we were able to speak up. I understand they want to turn the table over but would prefer that they give us a heads up so we can finish faster. Sometimes, we get lost in conversations and not always mindful of the time.

The menu was limited but the food was tasty. We had the braised lamb. It saids for 2 but it's not. One person can certainly eat it. The service was pristine and the place was clean. The crafted cocktails were very good. The smoked blue fish pate was delicious and the potato wedges were also delicious. It was a side, but we need to get it while waiting for the lamb. Worth going.

Food is delicious, diverse and creative. We shared all dishes - delicious across the board; favorites were the bluefish pate and the orecchiette. Atmosphere is great - cozy & lively but not too loud. All that said, the standout is truly the service- from the Irish hostess to the Italian waitress to the American bartender (apologies I can’t remember names so resorting to nationalities), there were such great vibes and professionalism. We will return!

This is a truly excellent restaurant - attentive service, beautiful and flavorful dishes, and a lovely atmosphere. The swordfish was delicious. And the beignets for dessert were a heavenly bite! Highly recommend this place

I’ve been wanting to come here for a long time and I understand its appeal. Definitely a 3.5 to 4 star neighborhood joint. Sat at the bar a few weeks ago with a work colleague and for a Wednesday it was packed and loud. The bartender barely gave us the time of day and the drink he made me seemed pre-batched it came out so quickly. The level of service, or lack thereof, coupled with the higher prices and level of noice all contributed to a less than ideal experience. Maybe it was just an off night, in particular to the left of us was a couple who knew the gentleman to the right of us who were wasted and shots were bought for both parties and talking across from us both times which got increasingly annoying. Solid food, decent portions. Wouldn’t go out of my way.
