    Sycamore Inn, Marquis
    Robert P. F.

    The restaurant and the atmosphere gets a 10. The food is delicious and the staff give a VIP reception experience to the guests. It's like walking into a time capsule of the old Hollywood cinema era. The Sycamore Inn gets our five star Yelp review and our personal recommendation. Bon appétit

    A delicious wine that had notes of blackberry, cherry, and a slight oak barrel note.

    Customer service was good, This was my second time and I was seated near fire place near entrance. I don't prefer the lack of comfort for the booths or service in this area. The service in this area does not pack up your leftover food for you like the main dining hall. The food was excellent, presentation, temperature, and taste were excellent.

    Clear cut review of the Sycamore Inn is what I'd call a textbook case of an outdated restaurant in terms of food quality and overall satisfaction from taste and ambiance. The building itself is probably 100 years old with renovations keeping it on life support. The smell and overall design is not what I'd come back for. The historical aspect is cool.. I suppose. The service was good, a standard expected from their prices. The food itself was a disappointment. The crab cakes were more like salt cakes with a dash of crab, pooled in the sauce. The prime rib in the bottom of my photo may look amazing, but alas, it was harder to cut than a well done ribeye. This was their "medium rare" option that looked more like medium Now, the plate to the left was requested at medium, but as you can see, it looks well done. The sides were passable, but I feel I can replicate the same taste through canned product with some fresh ingredients. The only good things about the meal was the service and attention. That is the only star I would give to this location.

    What's left of the amazing lava cake.

    We sat in the bar area and it was nice. I truly miss the days where people actually dressed for dinner. Mostly people in shorts and casual wear adorned the bar area. We first ordered the BBQ oysters and a Sazerac and raspberry lemon drop. The flavor was great, the oysters were tiny! Perhaps the gulf has spoiled me, but seriously small oysters. We next ordered prime rib. It was cooked as ordered and was good. The mashed potatoes were super salty so order accordingly. Now-the true star of the show was the chocolate lava cake. Amazing. Highly recommend. Our server Toki was sweet and helpful.

    We started with the artichoke, but unfortunately it wasn't cooked all the way through and lacked flavor, so I wouldn't recommend ordering it. The ribeye, however, was amazing! It had great flavor and was cooked perfectly. The asparagus was also cooked perfectly and was a delicious side. We also enjoyed a great gin martini. Overall, there were definitely some hits and misses, but the ribeye and asparagus were excellent!

    The Sycamore Inn Restaurant in Rancho Cucamonga California is terrific and serves tasty lunch and dinners-and has been serving there since 1848-a California classic! The service was great, our herb roasted chicken and Sycamore salad-perfect! Our server,Vivian L.,was friendly and helpful which made our experience that much better at The Sycamore Inn Restaurant-A terrific dining experience! . . . . . #sycamoreinn #route66 #carshows #classicrestaurants #ranchocucamonga #seetheusa #greatfood

    I read great reviews about this restaurant and made reservations to dine and experience this old school steakhouse first hand. I loved the cozy and warm feeling of the wood-framed house, complete with a "porch" as you enter and a fireplace indoors. Once inside the hostess checked us in, within a few minutes, our table was ready. Our Server for the evening was Andrea, she provided excellent customer service and checked on us throughout the evening. Menu highlights: We ordered the Seabass, Ribeye Steak and Creamed Spinach to share. We had a puffed pastry with vanilla ice cream for dessert. The Seabass melts in your mouth, it was so tender and moist. The steak was medium rare. I throughly enjoyed the added blue cheese crust. Sharing a dessert was the perfect finishing touch to a delicious meal that had it all from salad, bread, surf and turf to a sweet ending. I strongly recommend making reservations a week in advance to secure your desired date and time. A private banquet is avaliable for group celebrations. Sincerely, Rosemary

    Charbroiled Salmon - sorry it was dark in the dining room.

    My friend Marlene from Rancho Cucamonga in the Inland Empire in California recommended this old school, been around for a 150 years steakhouse with excellent martinis plus a wonderful wine list institution. It is in an old house right on the north side of Foothill Blvd or historic Rt 66 actually. Open only for dinner we got there at 7 pm and were seated in the dining area by the bar. It was dark and I just loved the beautiful and colorful lamps. Felt the old school vibe in the air. Atmosphere - 5 stars - nice and mellow. The room - really cool. The bar was happening and popping. Really fun group. We were in the dark and docile section and had to get the flashlights on our phones to check out the menu. The food - 5 stars- great Calamari. Awesome salmon ( charbroiled with really delicious sides- mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus). The other appetizer was the guac mash which was also really nice. Came with warm bread. Table next to us got really awesome looking steaks. Lobster looked yummy as well. The drinks - Marlene had a couple of Pineapple cosmos and she said they were strrrrrronggggg. The service - 5 stars plus - our waitress Eva was really great. Very attentive and talked to us for a bit not rushing us out at 9 pm. Bartender( lady) and Manager also were really cool. Dress code - I was in slacks and a collared shirt but the two gents by us were in gym attire. So casual on a Monday was ok. Parking - loads in a very big lot. It came to $80 per person plus tip so expect pricing and a tab in that range with drinks $16-18, appetizers also in that range and entrees $35-47. It was an interesting experience.

    Happy hour special-not honored for food specials
    Joanna L.

    We have been coming here since my girls were babies, my husband and I decided to come out to their happy hour since we haven't been here in quite a while, needless to say we were extremely disappointed because they advertise happy hour specials, but this bartender said that the menu and online advertising are a misprint and they did not offer any type of food specials. We showed him the menu print that clearly states happy hour food specials, but he said it was a misprint and they do not honor that. We paid for one drink that was completely watered down. It was half off, but at the end of the day, $9.25 for a half water down drink is not worth it. Do not waste your time here.. Go to Flemmings you will be better off with a balanced drink, welcoming staff, and amazing happy hour specials! No wonder why it was completely dead inside! We will not be back to Sycamore Inn, save your money!

    Best food! Nice people! Great service! Thanks Nicole !  Best Easter Brunch! Only thing, no King Crab, no Eggs Benedict

    Wonderful Easter Brunch! Great value for the money! Thanks Nicole you're the best! Such a beautiful place to enjoy life!

    Ask the Community - Sycamore Inn

    Do they show Monday night football in the bar?

    We didn't go on a Monday night, and the night we went they were showing some sort of movie channel in the bar, but I'm sure you would be able to ask your server in the bar/lounge to change the channel on at least one of the TV's to Monday Night… 

    Is this kid friendly and do they have a kids menu?

    No, not really a place for children.

    Do they have non-dairy dishes? Or can they prepare food with no dairy?

    Yes they can accommodate a dairy free options and preparation

    Are they open for thanksgiving dinner?

    I called & yes, they do.

    Do they have happy hour? If so what time?

    I believe they start at 4pm. They do have a bar area.

    Do they offer gift cards?

    Yes

    Do we need reservations to seat at the Bar?

    They say you don't BUT the times I've gone they'll tell you certain seats are for the regulars and it's literally half of the bar. So while you don't need reservations, you best hope you arrive on a day where the regulars aren't around.

    How do I get the new discount card?

    Does anyone know if they have a children's menu? Planning on going to celebrate a big occasion but have two littles coming.

    They do have options for kids. Ask the host or hostess and they will give you one. About 5 or 6 items if I'm not mistaken

    Is there a corkage fee?

    The restaurant has a $25 per bottle corkage fee

    Do I need reservations?

    yes unless you're just going into the bar area for one of their "Prime Time" early dinner specials...If they still offer them with the state of the economy that is.

    Is this restaurant doing outside dining during covid?

    Yes

    What can I expect for wine tasting Thursday? Where is it set up in the restaurant? Are there Vegan options to ask for ahead of time?

    You can expect a live band with 2 wine pouring stations each with a different selection of wine and varietals. The appetizers change each time but there is usually a vegan and a meat option for complimentary appetizers and you can always purchase… 

    Does the Inn offer a happy hour menu? Is so what day and time? Happy hour menu? Thank you folks!

    Prime time wine bar, 7 days/week, 1/2 off cocktails, specialty priced apps, dinner plates starting at $10 lounge and veranda

    Is there a dress code?

    No dress code but I would go semi- casual with a collard shirt for the experience. I would call and make reservations and make sure you ask to be seated in there main dining room. So you can experience the vintage ambiance.

    Do they have a private dining room for company events?

    Yes, they sure do! We had our 30 HS Reunion in their private dining room downstairs and it was perfect! If I'm not mistaken, it seats 80 quite comfortably.

    Does the restaurant have brunch on Sunday's?

    Only on special occasions, Easter, maybe mothers day?

    What time does the Bar open??? I am not sure but I believe at 4:30pm, half hour before the restaurant. Am I correct or did I enjoy the happy hour to much last time I was there???…

    4pm. And the specials end at 8pm

The atmosphere is always welcoming, especially on live music nights. The owner is incredibly friendly and makes it a point to personally connect with every guest, which makes the experience feel even more special and intimate. It is a smaller venue, so I highly recommend making reservations if you want guaranteed seating because once the live music starts, the place fills up FAST. But every single time I go, it's always a great experience. One thing I truly love most about this spot is how it naturally brings people together. I've met new friends just by sitting, chatting, and enjoying the music and wine. It's such a positive and inviting environment. If you're ever in the area, I definitely recommend stopping by and showing support. And I absolutely have to add it's a Black-owned business, so let's continue supporting and pouring into businesses that create spaces like this for the community.

I went again last weekend with my boyfriend and our friend during the wine hopping event. This time it was busy. We were seated in the back room that felt like a conference room. I felt like I was excluded from the party because we didn't buy the tickets for the event. We were still paying customers. I did the wine tasting with 3 red wines and a personal charcuterie board. Bad time to come because we felt unwelcome. Limited to where we can sit. "It's reserved" Pros - lots of free parking - cute decor - good charcuterie board - waitress was nice Cons - I didn't like any of my wine - bad pour for the price - Boring I won't be back. There wasn't anything memorable.
