    My girlfriend and I had an amazing experience last night at Sycamore celebrating our 1 year anniversary. We were greeted with warm smiles and 2 glasses of champagne by the owner, Brian. As non-drinkers, we kindly declined them but we were so thankful for the thoughtful gesture. We were sat down at our requested table to relive our first date which made for a special evening. Incredible service, delicious food, and romantic ambiance. We love Sycamore and can’t wait to come back again next year.
