Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Needham

Fantastic food, fantanstic drinks. There are not that many fine food restaurants in Newton, Sycamore is the rare example of the one holding the high quality mark. Enjoyed it a lot.

Lovely dining experience. I will be back 4 sho. Poloma was like the first day of spring. Except there was a snow storm outside! Carbonara was to DIE for. Pizza was perfection. 10/10

I visited on Valentine’s Day and loved the cozy ambiance with beautiful plant decorations. I ordered the 3 Valentine’s specials: the beet gnocchi, beet burrata, and cod dish, along with the cooked oysters. All were delicious though I was a bit disappointed with the beet burrata, as it had a very tiny amount of cubed beets and at first believed they forgot the beets on the dish. For dessert I had the tiramisu which was fantastic!

Bistro du Midi is a wonderfully intimate restaurant with phenomenal food, drinks, and staff. We arrived on time for our reservation and were notified they were running behind but that they would collect us if we sat at the bar. The bartender was kind and attentive and as time passed, we were gently invited back to be seated and allowed time to finish our drinks. We ordered the Valentine’s Day menu, a choice selection through 5 courses. All of the options were phenomenal, we started with a small soup (tea cup sized) which we had anticipated for a larger tasting menu, but by course 3 we were hitting the wall! Portions were outstanding just small enough to be able to finish the next dish but large enough to feel very full by the end! We also ordered the cocktails oui chef, a lemon flavored cocktail and (please forgive me I forgot the name) a smoky combination of mezcal and cognac. Both of which were outstanding! Overall, we felt very satisfied! Being a big event for us we felt that the splurge was worth it, however, candidly it was a *very* large splurge so be prepared!

Took my girlfriend to eat for valentines evening, heard great things about the restaurant and I enjoyed my time there. We both had the chicken parmesan and the portion size was excellent. For 25 we both had leftovers and the food was delicious. Noise level was very high, but I figured that was due to the occasion. Definitely would want to dine here again.
