Went there for lunch! Gnocchi was fantastic! Service was prompt and friendly and the atmosphere was very laid back and welcoming.

I was sat at the bar, alone. I enjoyed a Malbec. Employees voluntarily sat at the bar, expressing their stress. Why was this okay to do with me? Would you do it to a white middle aged man and his wife? This was unprofessional. As a Black professional, I expressed that severity of wasting $50 on lunch hearing the internal matters of the restaurant.

The owner replied to my review saying the bartender claimed I was rude. I just left the restaurant and apologized. Where is the accountability for Sycamore's lackluster service? I complained and she is allowed to be a victim of my very complaint. This is racism and microaggression by definition. The black person complains and the white person takes on fear. The manager defends the lackluster bartenders and coworkers. The bartender took the position of a white helpless victim rather than taking accountability for terrible service. I am coming back to eat and I demand top tier service. We can protest as a next resort.

Went for a dinner meeting on a Monday. It was loud from conversations, so not the best choice for quiet conversation. Had the Salmon salad and lamb kabob. Lamb cooked well but underseasoned to my pallet. Smoked salmon salad was nicely not overdressed, and I would get it again. Service was maybe a little slow. Cheesecake desert was good and recommendable.

Great atmosphere and tasty food. The trout was cooked to perfection and served with an amazing dressing and vegetables. My only concern was that the table for eight was really small for 8 adults to sit around and eat comfortably.

We were seated quickly on a busy Friday evening. I ordered the Beet Salad and the Tuna Salad Sandwich and we ordered a liter of the delicious red house wine. Our server, Ron was friendly and attentive. The food was all so tasty and fresh! If I could give it more stars I would. So good and a nice gem in the heart of downtown Columbia.

We had a very enjoyable lunch here with an interesting interaction. One of our party felt that one of the dishes was not to her taste. Nothing wrong with it, just not to her taste. There followed a discussion with the owner which could have been awkward. Instead, with grace and professionalism, he discussed the dish with us and all was resolved. Classy place in all ways.

A lot of people say they love the food, not me but maybe for you. Service is always friendly.

Had not been here in several years but enjoyed it in the past. Unfortunately, it’s lost something of its luster. The bottle of rose we ordered was good. Starters (butternut squash soup, gnocchi, and cheese plate) were also tasty. Main dishes were just okay: pork chop was good. My scallops were well cooked but the risotto they came with was a bit bland and the amount of it really overwhelmed the scallops. Service was lackluster and not very attentive. The timing of dishes was off and the server was absent most of the meal: did not return to pour wine or clear dishes. Maybe they were understaffed?

Overall, we came here expecting to be wowed and most things were just fine. No dishes that really surprised us and service that wasn’t up to our expectations. There are too many other great options in CoMo right now for us to come back soon.

The food was pretty good but pricey for what you get. However, it was more the service that made it feel like it wasn't worth it. Pur server often stood nearby watching and made us feel rushed to leave. We'd asked another server to take a photo before we left and the server looked a bit irritated. The restaurant overall was pretty loud.
All in all the food tastes good, but for the price it didn't reflect the best fine dining experience.
