We did have to wait a bit to be seated but were thankfully at a nice table in the corner so our large party could be comfortable and private. I do recall the table or a chair being rickety and a waiter immediately assisting to make sure it would stop shifting which was amazing. We ordered a ton of tapas to share (6-7) to share amongst 6 people - all the dishes I tried were fantastic. My favorite was surprisingly the patatas - they were nice and crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and were very flavorful. I also enjoy meat quite a bit so the braised short rib and steak were great too. Highly recommend also getting the pan - the sauce was addicting! Overall, I would love to come back if I'm in the area again. The atmosphere, service, food - everything suited me and my party perfectly.

The potatoes weren't cooked right, the asparagus dish was lackluster, the clams were pretty decent but didn't come with enough bread, and the steak dish was drowning in an unnecessary amount of sauce. On top of that, I especially wouldn't take children here with the explicit images on the walls. 2 stars because the staff was attentive enough.

We ordered every item on the happy hour menu and then another dozen raw oysters and a half dozen others casino. We may have also gone up and down the cocktail menu.

The oysters were pretty good given that this is Columbus, Ohio. The bread was delicious -- perfect crust and difficult to stop. For dinner I ordered the seabass while my wife got the swordfish.

An excellent restaurant -- we will definitely return.

Our server, Jakov, was outstanding. He was professional, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. I ordered the filet, which was cooked perfectly and was one of the better steaks I've had in Columbus. My fiancée ordered the salmon and really enjoyed it as well. We also shared the Caesar salad, enjoyed a couple of espresso martinis, and finished with the Post Mortem brownie sundae. Between the excellent service, beautiful patio, and great food, this was an easy five-star experience. We'll definitely be back for another special occasion.

We came in for a reservation for my girlfriend's birthday on Saturday the 13th. We had been to…read moreLindey's before, but had never sat on the patio, so we were excited. However, we were left disappointed, sad, and surprised by our experience. My food came out first. This would not have been a problem if not for the series of events that followed. Many minutes later, her food came out too, yet it was the wrong dish. Shrimp pasta instead of steak. We waited again. Eventually we were told by our server in a very unserious, almost joking voice, "I saw a filet in the kitchen, so it should be out soon." Her steak came out about 15 minutes after she had already gotten the wrong dish, while mine had gotten cold. Our server told us that the kitchen accidentally put Demi glaze on the steak, which my girlfriend had requested to be left off. Instead of apologizing for this mistake, Our server emphasized, "Don't worry, I had them sear [the glaze] off." Hearing that surprised me, her steak was over-charred, like the sauce had literally been burned off. Disappointing remedy to a simple mistake, and what a strange way of putting it by our server. What made all of this even worse was the way in which our server Kendall handled this matter. Her attitude got significantly worse following this mishap. She was extremely unapologetic, not offering any apology to either of us. Mind you, I had patiently waited well over 15 minutes with cold fish in front of me for my girlfriend's blackened steak to come out. When my girlfriend had a chance to taste her food, Kendall dropped by to say, "I think we have the best mashed potatoes in the city, what do you think of them?" Blatantly blowing off the fact that my girlfriend's steak was obviously screwed up, and my food had sat for over 15 minutes at the table before hers arrived. As my girlfriend was nearing the end of her food, Kendall stopped by again to add that "We're powering through it." What an odd thing to say to someone who's eating what was clearly a subpar, unsatisfactory plate of food, especially with Kendall being very aware that it was my girlfriend's birthday! I've never in my life been treated in such a passive-aggressive, unapologetic way by a server. Neither of us are one to complain or be rude in a restaurant, both of us having worked in restaurants for years. I'll add that the food on its own would have been fantastic, but the delays had caused it to be cold, and her steak was blackened. I was genuinely left speechless by the way we were treated by Kendall. I also believe that any attempt at a remedy from Kendall could have salvaged this dinner, but her attitude and targeted, passive-aggressive apathy made it so much worse. I'm disappointed leaving this review on what should have been a wonderful dinner a beautiful patio.

It was the perfect spot for a relaxed, drawn-out dinner where we could enjoy drinks, take our time, and really soak it all in. We had a reservation and were seated right away, which set the tone for the night. Everyone ordered cocktails (I've heard the espresso martini is one of their best, even though coffee isn't really my thing), and honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the drink menu. We started with the Meze, which included house-made falafel, tzatziki, hummus, sun-dried tomato couscous, assorted vegetables, and naan--everything was fresh and so flavorful. They also brought out complimentary focaccia right away, which was such a nice touch. For my main, I ordered the seasonal scallops, and I also tried the chicken thighs with fig, goat cheese, asparagus, parmigiano reggiano, and couscous--both were absolutely amazing. I'd go back in a heartbeat just to try more of the menu. We were there for about 2-3 hours, and at no point did we feel rushed or like we were inconveniencing the staff. The entire experience felt thoughtful, welcoming, and just really special. Highly recommend The Sycamore for your next date night or girls' dinner!

Food was a bit pricey for what it is but standard for the ambience and location and a fantastic time with friends.

Looks like it was probably an old ice cream shop at one time. We ordered online, which was quite easy. Our food was ready when we arrived. There is no inside seating and you pick up your food at the window. You have to ring a bell for service which I had a hard time finding at first, but then located it on the right window. You pick up your food from the left window. The lady at the counter was very nice and thanked me for my business. Now let's get on to the food. I ordered the half portion of shrimp with two sides. I chose the corn and the potato. My shrimp food was very filling and good. Corn was sweet and red skin potato was also good. Hubby ordered the fried tilapia which came with fries and three hush puppies. Those were two big pieces of fish. He also enjoyed it. However, for the price point, he felt they should have better hot sauce, at least Texas Pete, not generic. They do have a private parking lot and we sat in the car and ate our food. I personally could've used more Cajun seasoning but overall it was a very good experience and I will return when I find myself back in the area.
