    Arguably the best cocktail/mixology spot in Newton. Great bar bites and an even better food menu. Terrific all around and just about impeccable in every way. Go check it out if you haven't.

    Helmed by David Punch of Ten Tables, Sycamore has been turning heads in Newton since opening a year ago thanks to its refined American cuisine and solid beverage program. [Eater 38 Member]

    Chef-owner David Punch, joined by Lydia Reichert, most recently a sous chef at Craigie on Main, make wonderfully creative use of fresh ingredients in deceptively simple preparations.

    This is one of the best meals I've ever had.. Everything was wonderful. My personal favorite was the mackerel escabeche. If you can get out to Newton, eat here. Seriously, if you don't you'll be upset

    Make your reservtion well in advance. Get the trout starter, ANY of the mains, ad definitely the beignets w/ milk jam for dessert. You won't be disappointed.

    There may or may not be a secret tasting menu. The heirloom carrots and the duck breast (over farro risotto w/duck confit) were particularly tasty.

    (Best of Boston 2013-NEWTON) Improper Bostonian says, "Chefs David Punch (formerly Ten Tables) and Lydia Reichert (formerly of Craigie on Main) know their way around a bistro."
