Outstanding!! Table ready when we arrived, attentive and lovely service and amazing food! I could eat the asparagus caesar salad every day for the rest of my life -- so, so good. Just ate the leftovers for lunch which was a treat because it took all my will power to stop eating last night before I was too full. Love Sycamore and will be back soon!

Delightful! Sat outside on a beautiful evening. Inside busy, which is great!; but very noisy which would have made it impossible for one of my guests to hear and engage in conversation. Food terrific, staff kind and welcoming. Service a bit slow due to busyness.
