Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Ashland

UNBELIEVABLE value! The price point for the exquisite food/presentation and the down-to-earth-welcome-home staff is simply off the charts! I never thought possible that this level of fine dining in our neck of the woods was possible. Sure, our Hudson Speak Easy has some sophistication attached to it, with a small and well curated menu. But fine dining that rivals a Boston restaurant, without the Boston prices and cost of parking? WHAT?! No, I didn't think it possible. Yet Wemmy's pulls it off with magnificent charm. From walking in through the door, until you leave. Classy but not stuffy, comfortable, clean. BEAUTIFUL bar! MUST haves? Seafood Parpadelle, chimichurri steak (ANY OF THE STEAKS), banana/chocolate croissant bread pudding. Espresso Martini flight... yea. It's a place where you want to come back and go through the entire menu!

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.

Everything was perfect. I only recommend to upgrade their menu. It’s hard to find something for vegetarians. I got Truffle fries and flatbread.

Still the best place to have lunch in the Wellesley Needham area. My go to lunch destination.
