We shared the Winter salad to start, which was delicious with very fresh lettuce and a flavorful dressing. My Mom opted for the Shitake Mushroom Dumplings, which were delicious, and I had the Lemon sole. They have a full bar, curated wine list and several non-alcoholic beverage options. I opted for a sparking hibiscus and rose drink that was very unusual and good. Farmstead remains one of my go to restaurants when I'm in town as the food is locally sourced and dependable, the service is excellent and the space is intimate. It's a great local spot!

I got some type of spinach pesto with bright rainbow cherry tomatoes and it was delciious. Seemed like the pasta was house made and it was excellent. Pretty pricey so I havne't gone back many times but when I did go it was enjoyable! Only con about ambiance was that their outdoor seating on the sidewalk is at a slant and they don't have anything to even it out so it kinda feels like you're tilting over the whole time.

Post-COVID, life looks a little different. I've changed jobs and moved to another town, so it's no longer the easy drop-in it once was. Still, I make a point to come back at least every few months. What hasn't changed is the consistency. This remains one of the most reliably excellent restaurants in the Boston area, and still one of my all-time top five--while others that once held that spot haven't quite held up. One thing has changed, though: the Ghost of Mary. Scotty, the former bar manager, created what's still my favorite cocktail of all time. When he left, the drink left with him (by mutual agreement), and while he generously shared the recipe with me, I've never quite managed to recreate it at home. It was clearly meant to be made by the expert. That said, Sycamore hasn't missed a beat. The space is still as comfortable and quirky as ever, the food remains consistently excellent, and the current bar program is in very capable hands. The cocktails are thoughtful and well-executed--just maybe don't remind me about the one I'm missing

Sycamore is SPECTACULAR!!!…read more Newton centre is probably one of my favorite cities for date night and afternoon shopping. They have some great places to shop and dine and Sycamore is one of them. We have been here multiple times and everytime is better than the last. From the Managers greeting to the service, and atomosphere, Sycamore sure knows how to make customers feel seen and heard and their bellies happy :) We came here after attending a wine tasting not far from here and were able to grab some bar seats. They have a great cocktail and wine list; I always have a hard time choosing just one. I went with a vodka drink called Nothing Rhymes Orange and my husband had a beer. Since we were not that hungry he ordered the Chorizo Croquettas and I had my favorite salad in the world (not kidding) their Kale Salad. Let me just tell you 1. if you don't like kale, you will love this salad. Just the way they make it and the flavors/crunch will make your mouth water 2. you will eat the whole thing. 3. trust me. If there is one app that you need to order its the chorizo croquettas, OMG. They are like little small drops of heaven and there are only 3 so if you plan to share I would recommend ordering more than just one. For dessert, we ordered an Espresso Martini. The only thing that was missing is the coffee beans but still good. Thanks Sycamore for another fabulous dinner and evening. Thanks Kale Salad for being the best ever. I know I will be back for another one sometime soon. Cheers~

I had made the reservation for 9:15. The movie ended early (by 9) and I turned on my phone to find 4 missed calls from them...oops! They were so nice, calling to make sure I knew the kitchen would close at 9:30. How nice of them to want us to know it would be a tight window. The restaurants decor is gorgeous. Lots of greenery, fun patterns, and artwork. The waitress was so kind and got our drink and food in asap. My friend and I split the vodka pie with a side of ranch to dip the crust (greatest menu item EVER by the way). It was the perfect amount for two. The pizza crust was textbook. Soooo good and even better dipped in ranch. I was skeptical of the red peppers and onions on it but it was such a delicious combination. I will be back for more!

We arrived about 20 mins early and they were able to take accommodate it. We had a nice, high top booth by the window with great views of the bar area. The decor is modern and upscale although you could easily get away with casual attire. We were greeted right away by both the hostess and our server, Busra who was fantastic throughout the evening. Started with some delicious cocktails and fresh guacamole. I had the short rib grilled cheese which had a near perfect ratio of meat to cheese and the bread was not overly toasted where it tears up your palate. The sweet potato fries weren't much to look at but they were really good. Everyone had a great meal and the only minor infraction we could find was a few wilted pieces of romaine in the ceasar salad; which can happen anywhere. Overall, it was a great experience. Prices were a bit higher than similar places at home but it is also Newton so $16 cocktails and $22 burger w fries is probably average. Plus, the quality was worth the price IMHO.
