The food was absolutely fantastic! The only bummer is that our server was a little inattentive - it took 20ish minutes to get a round of cocktails when it wasn't busy. We wanted a second round, but the server never came by to check on us after the food arrived. By the time they came back, we were ready to be boxed up and head out.

Everything was wonderful and supplemented with exceptional service from Brian. We both thoroughly enjoyed our entrees, the ravioli and the vegetable tagine, as well as the craft cocktails and excellent bottle of Sangiovese. To put a cap on an excellent meal, we ordered the Carmel chocolate chip Cookie with ice cream…wow! Brian disclosed it was his first night serving here and had he not told us, we wouldn’t have known. Exceptional service! He was friendly, made recommendations and was very attentive to our needs. We never had to ask for a thing.

We originally had a reservation for 4 but our friends were sick so we sat at the bar. The bartender was great, attentive, & our mezze app was great. Our burger that we shared was not medium as requested but apparently someone forgot to pull the paper off the cheese on it which we probably ate with our first bites. They compt the burger & gave us a free cocktail but I'm not sure that's enough.

The food was over priced and under delivered. We ordered the bass and shared it since they were out of an item (not their fault, it was later in the evening) and nothing else stood out. It was okay. Seasoned decently. We didn’t personally enjoy our drinks, both of them being surprisingly bitter. The service was good.

We had a wonderful time at Sycamore last night. The Sablefish special was excellent, the wines on the menu were fantastic and the desserts were the perfect way to end the night. Thank you and we will return!

Very nice and pleasant experience, menu is't expansive but still enough variety for meat or veggi diets alike. On the list of places I'd like to go back to!
