I ordered the Sycamore Salad which my friend raved about and said I must order. I asked for arugula instead of seasonal greens which I did not get. I also asked for the dressing on the side and my salad was overly doused in dressing. Very disappointing. On another note, we ordered the black belt flatbread which was delicious.

We thought our dinner experience was great. our reservation was honored immediately. The waitress was so sweet and attentive and asked us for our drink orders right away. One area of our table was dirty with some sticky residue, and the waitress quickly went to clean it. The onion soup we all ordered came out promptly and was absolutely delicious. The rest of the meal was served shortly after and was equally delicious. Food was great and so was the service for a great affordable price. We will be back.

Even tho a limited menu we were 6 people and everyone found something to order. All good was excellent. Good size portions, nice presentation, delicious. Never been there other then Monday night burger night. Good variety for everyone. A definite return visit in the near future. Waiter was pleasant, accommodating and couldn’t have been nicer. Think his name was Bob. Not sure but he said he’s been there 30 years.

Great place to go We sat outside and they used heat lamps when it got a bit chilly. The food and service was really good. I was impressed by how they handled the covid situation. We will be back for sure !!!

Lovely wait staff, delicious food with a modern spin and great atmosphere outdoors with propane heaters. Will definitely return as well as the six first timers who shared the meal last evening.

Been here many times and the food and service are always great! Since covid they have moved tables to banquet hall which is fine only suggestion I have would be to make the lighting a little dimmer it feels like you’re eating in a cafeteria because it’s so bright in there . Ambiance is not warm.

Fantastic place with great service! Beautiful views. Quiet and great food! Especially during this fabricated pandemic that has all restaurant seating in parking lots the Sycamore Grill has by far the best setup for outdoor dining at such a time like this. I recommend them 1000%
