Great and innovative food and great ambiance, excellent value. We especially love eating at the bar and talking with Scott. The bar is also quieter than the dining room where the music can be make conversation more difficult. Music selections are always good though.

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.
