I am impressed, from the minute we walked in Talar greeted us with a very welcoming smile and demeanor , she guided and accommodated our needs and gave us table at very nice location. Then our service was handled by Lauren, who was extremely friendly and helpful. She was just amazing ,Lastly, our food and drinks were delicious and delivered promptly. We had a wonderful afternoon. read more

This restaurant is in the Chevy Chase Country Club in Glendale. We used to take our kids there for swimming in the summer. I had no idea there was a restaurant there, until I saw it come up on my Yelp. For some reason, it had never come up before when searching for Glendale area restaurants. So glad it did. The service was great, the location gorgeous, and the food was very good. We will go back again. Thanks to the Sycamore for this beautiful restaurant tucked in the Glendale hills. Great view of the pool, and a fabulous patio. If you have a sweet tooth, try the chocolate chip cookie sundae. read more

I think the name of this place changed? But the review is for the bar inside the country club. It's really nice inside! The fries we got were good too, and the drinks are super reasonably priced! The best part was the amazing service and great conversation form Alyssa! She's a gem and really seems to run things so well! Only complaint is would be nice to have dimmer lights and maybe some candle for ambience ! Will def be coming back! Can't wait to try the dinner menu next time read more

So beautiful place food is amazing here I love to come here again and again I really recommend this place thanks so much

Best burger, great service, beautiful views! Trying to make a friend who will let me join them on the course

This is an example of a restaurant that we loved, that we probably never would have tried pre-COVID. When looking around for restaurants with open outdoor dining option, we stumbled across this place. I wasn't aware this country club had a restaurant open to the public. Turns out they do (and not just as a temporary Covid-measure), and its great for a family weekend brunch. The restaurant has an extensive outdoor patio with good sun coverage (most tables). The tables are well-spaced and we experienced great air-flow, so the dining experience felt entirely safe. Staff were 100% on-point with their use of masks and other protective gear. We also noticed that staff washing down tables were really doing a great job of it (not just a wipe-down as we've seen elsewhere). One big plus is the view - it overlooks the golf course so you see trees and green grass all the way to the hillsides, with just a few houses dotting the green expanse. The view and the restaurant had a very posh, high-end feel. The only gripe is the chairs weren't as comfortable as they looked. Food-wise, we tried a variety of brunch items. Their take on a breakfast burrito was great. The fries they use are the shoestring style, not my favorite, but they were cooked really well. The menu was diverse and good for kids as well. Service was good, but maybe overstretched. There were a couple instances where we though a request had been forgotten, but it showed up shortly after, maybe just a bit slower than expected. We were also surprised when we ordered a "kid friendly" variant of a normal pasta dish on the menu; they got the picky-eater dish spot-on, but also ended up charging us only a fraction of the normal price. Overall super-friendly, super-safe, and got the thumbs-up from everyone to return. read more

Bait and switch for Easter brunch. Advertised carving station ham roast beef. When we were seated there was no carving station and my wife was told to go to omlette station to get cubed ham if she wanted ham. Seems they wanted to go cheep. My son said not much better than a free breakfast you get with a corporate hotel room! read more

This place is great! It's part of the Chevy chase country club but you don't need to be a member or anything to come. AMAZING bottomless brunch on the weekends -- $18 a person which is definitely worth it. We didn't get a ton of food but the Brussels were delicious and the entire menu - brunch and rest of the day - looked SO good. The server and manager helping us were also super sweet and friendly. Highly recommended!! read more

A hidden gem - highly recommend for weekend brunch. Not crowded at all. The new chef has revamped the menu to compete with the Castaway. Check it out before it gets to crowded! read more

Stunning views, peaceful atmosphere and great service leaves an experience like you're no longer in LA but in the countryside of Nor Cal. Maddie's service at the restaurant was superb... she's very knowledgeable, friendly and has a great sense of humor! Oh yeah and the food... you're still reading? Go now! read more

You don't have to be a member to go! The staff is beyond nice! All priced well. Food is good. I had brunch with great mimosas. The only negative was how incredibly greasy the roasted brussels sprouts are. read more

Today was the third time having brunch at the Sycamore and it will be my last. I don't know what happened today perhaps they were not fully staffed but I was highly disappointed and embarrassed because I had to guests with me. Let me start by saying the staff, as usual, was super friendly and very helpful. Food: my husband ordered the clam chowder for starters and what came out was a congealed glob of cold soup. We returned it and our server was kind and apologetic for he knew that was unacceptable. We ordered our food and my husband and friend ordered the short rib eggs Benedict which I have had in the past and was absolutely delicious. Today they were cold along with the side of potatoes....actually all of our potatoes were cold we had to return those. My other friend and I ordered the hole in one with over hard eggs and his were runny. Needless to say, he could not finish his breakfast. Check chase country club/the sycamore.... Please do not put out food that is not up to par and you yourself would not eat. Sorry but cold food is always unacceptable unless it is meant to be a cold dish. My first two visits were great. Today not so much. Very disappointing. $150.00 later I felt robbed. read more

Love this place and their new menu! It's a diamond to have it so close to my home up here amongst the mountains and trees.

Great food and great staff. My grandma and I both had a short read. Meat was super tender. I was craving blackberry Ginger ale, and even though it wasn't on the menu they made it for me. Definitely going back again. read more

What a surprise this was! A very nice little bar area, nice people working. And a truly impressive food and drink menu to boot. The house burger was very impressive and delicious, as were my boys' BLT sandwiches. The buffalo fries were a bit meh, mostly because it was an uninspired squirt of sauce and a sprinkle of blue cheese over very mediocre fries. Some great choices on the beer tap and a nice selection of drinks over all, and our cocktail was very well made. All accompanied with the gorgeous view of the golf course. So one big strike is the smoking issue. Its a private club, so surely that's why the golfers, and apparently just guys sitting around, can enjoy their cigars at their leisure, despite it being a restaurant, open to the public. It was annoying and we moved inside. Really too bad because it was so wonderful outside. But, again, its probably the private club aspect of the place, so not holding this against them. The prices are higher that you might like but some things were worth it. The burger was worth $18. It was. Not any more, but I'd order that again. If the buffalo fries had not come with the burger, they would have been $6, I believe. It might sound odd, but they were not even worth that. BUT... the positives do outweigh the negative. We'll be back for sure. read more

Great service both at the reception area and during brunch. The server was friendly and available but it never felt rushed. The food and cocktails were very good. I'd definitely go back again. read more

Something great is happening at the Chevy Chase Country Club, and their restaurant The Sycamore has stepped up it's game! My family went for dinner last Friday to try out the new menu and WOW! It was so good. Def try the calamari as a starter, and if you're a meat eater the salmon was...well, it kicked ass! My daughter got the fried chicken and was also very happy. Great job Sycamore! We're proud of you. - Tim read more

First time to this local restaurant. It feels quite secluded as it is in the foothills in a residential area. We sat outside on a large covered patio. Very comfortable and tables spaced out appropriately. My family and I enjoyed great service and yummy meals. I had the steak and fries, my daughter had fresh pasta and my husband had a pulled pork sandwich. All delish! We want to go back for weekend brunch. The menu looked very good. Can't wait to go back! read more

We hosted a 60th birthday party for 27 guests at the Sycamore last weekend. The venue was gorgeous, we had brunch on the patio. Many guests from out of the area commented on the setting, it is a great representation of the foothills area. We worked with Joslynne to coordinate our event - she was excellent to work with and everything went off without a hitch. She even had my husband's name printed on the menu for his birthday - nice touch. Very impressed with the wait staff, almost all the meals were served at the same time, really hard to do with a party this size. Highly recommend! read more

Can't believe I haven't eaten here before, it's just a couple miles from my house! The food was excellent!! We got a cozy table by the fire and our server, Jeff, took wonderful care of us. He was attentive but not intrusive. Had the shrimp cocktail (plump and juicy), the short rib (really beautifully done with crispy shallots and sweet potato purée) and an impressive whole branzino. All in all one of the most relaxing evenings out we have had in a long time and we will definitely be back. It's a beautiful place and I bet the grounds are spectacular if you are here during the day. I'm trying to invent a reason to have a party so I can have it here! read more

Was there for lunch on my birthday. We ordered a few different items, mezze platter, market greens, soppressara pizza, homemade potato chips and churros for dessert. Staff provided carrot cake for my birthday. Everything was outstanding especially the soppressata pizza and the churros. Definitely going back. read more

I brought my grandfather to the Sycamore for a late Father's Day dinner. Everything about this restaurant was amazing. Our server also happened to be the manager of Ruben, and he met all of our needs. His energy was great! All of his food recommendations were great, but my favorite have to be The spicy honey shrimp! The view from the patio area is beautiful! I will definitely be returning! read more

Loved this place! Really excellent Spanish food. Particularly loved the octopus and branzino. Affordable for the portion sizes, great service. Highly recommend. read more

I'm updating to a more recent review. I loved coming to eat at the Sycamore before COVID. We loved sitting on the back patio and watching the golfers. During COVID shut downs, I really wanted to support the restaurant so did take out quite often. Now they are back to serving on the patios, but unfortunately, unless you are a member you can't sit on the backside with the golf course view. Instead they seat you on the upper balcony in front overlooking the pool with 8 screaming kids playing in it. We wanted to bring our friends here and it was so hard to talk with the kids yelling. Also, they are big on cigar smoking, so someone was smoking under the balcony and it drifted up while we were eating. This is really sad, because we love the country club and wanted to plan a small event there. But unless, you are a member, don't plan on having a nice quiet meal without smoking. I see there is another review complaining about the cigar smoke as well. If members want to smoke cigars, they should designate another private area for them to smoke away. Even though you are outside, it's still strong enough to destroy the enjoyment of eating good food. read more

This is a hidden gem! Relaxed feel, friendly service, excellent food and drink, modern and clean. The restaurant and bar are open to the public but the other facilities are reserved for members. The Sycamore is worth the short drive from the center of GLENDALE. read more

Love this restaurant! The service is exceptional and the food is top notch and creative. The executive chef is from Saville, Spain and brings a fresh take on a number of standard dishes. The decor and ambiance is high end but not stuffy or off putting. My wife and I come here at least once a week for their great happy hour! read more

I am surprised there are not more reviews for this wonderful place. The food was absolutely delicious and while we expected excellent food, it completely surpassed our expectations toe to toe with some of the finer restaurants we've been to this past year. The atmosphere was beautiful and clean. We sat outside on the patio with a view of the beautiful golf course and mountains. The service was impeccable but friendly and relaxed. We will definitely be coming back and have already decided we will come back as often as it takes to try as many of the items on the menu as we can! The harissa carrot salad, short rib and pasta dishes were our first tries--must haves! Yum read more

The pasta and cuban was terrific. The fries were perfect, like the soft and long ones you'd get from mcdonald's. I ordered the farfalle with roasted garlic and it was so creamy and delicious. I had zero complaints and they were so fast. Definitely going back read more

We stopped by Friday around 3 pm & was told they were booked. We looked around the entire dining area & there were 4 people. No "reserved" signs on any tables either. Not sure what that was about. We heard the food was great so we thought we'd try it. Very disappointed! read more

Went back many times now and we sit in the bar and mostly have the bar menu for dinner. Everything (except the calamari) we have tried has been amazing. The french fries are the best I have had and now order them as a appetizer. The only item that is just so-so was the calamari. Jon the bartender and our sever in the bar is always very nice and makes you feel at home. read more
