Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Needham

Phenomenal experience - consistently excellent food and service. This location is by far the best in the Boston area. The dining and service experience here surpasses the other locations. Jose, our waiter, who I had before exemplifies great service. His professionalism and positive attitude doesn’t go unnoticed. I have a severe food allergy and I know my allergy is taken seriously when he is taking care of my meal.

Food was great and a lot of it. Our service was exceptional!

Sycamore creates consistently excellent food and drinks. Last night's boudin blanc is a treasure -- only prepared in December, and it runs out in early January -- is it a delicate, flavorful white sausage that is like eating soft clouds of umami. So good! Also, the lamb two ways was exceptional -- small rack plus lamb confit wrapped in dark leaves, served on a flavorful couscous. They also happily prepared a vegetarian version of their gemelli carbonara, with chunks of squash and forest mushrooms. Bartender Scott remains a standout -- makes great drinks and is funny and whimsical. Owner Dave was gracious, as always. We have been to Sycamore time and time again, and they never disappoint.

The food was delicious and our waiter was wonderful! We were there to celebrate a friend’s birthday. The waiter (I believe his name was Nate) picked up on that and brought her three ice cream bon bon’s to help celebrate! Nice touches like that keep us coming back to Legal’s,

Always enjoy our meals here - the food is consistently very good. The pork chop was divine. Our server last evening was very good, pleasant and friendly.
