Sycamore Grille

I have been here twice and both times the food had great presentation and taste. Appetizers and main courses were very good and satisfying. Service is very slow and waitress didn’t write anything down, but couldn’t remember either, so she had to keep coming back to ask again or would just forget.

The food wasn’t quite as bad as the service which was horrible… not surprising we were only ones in there … Will not be returning

Excellent service, food arrived quickly, service staff was friendly. Good was incredible. Not a flaw throughout the entire meal.
Must try the lemon Marscapone cheese cake!

The restaurant is beautiful but the menu is dated. This was our third time there. They were out of their signature dishes and we there about 5pm. I would fire management and chef and revamp the entire menu. This place is too beautiful to not be great.

Well, it’s not that the food is not good here, but by the time we got to the restaurant we were really trying to catch a bus so we ordered burgers which were supposed to be the fastest possible meal to get at the restaurant but it failed us, we waited for about 40 to 45 minutes for the food and we had to get them to go. I would really appreciate it if burgers could come sooner.

Served very slow. We were waiting for 40 mins and still no entrees came and we had to have everything to go since we were catching bus.

We waited 45 minutes for our meal and eventually we managed to get it as to-​go and left.

Great service, great food. Had a burger with bacon and Swiss along with some onion rings finished off with some raspberry cheese cake and coffee. Great timely service even with a rush of customers while the train was in town (NKP 765). Definitely will try again some time.

We walked in and the sound system was a little loud. Our drinks were ok. The house spinach salad with pecans dried cranberry and blue cheese house dressing very enjoyable. Our steak entrée cooked to order and good. The «famous» double stuff potato is a joke. Banquet pre frozen. Ordinary. As were the veg of the day. Not fresh as we expected. Frozen. Bread heated dry. Not good. Chocolate cake dessert ok. All in all an ordinary place and not where we will return.

The wife and I had dinner here Thursday night. We shared the calamad and onion soup. Both were exceptional. She also had a side Cesare salad which was really good and pretty large for a side salad. They didn’t skimp on the cheese either. I had the steak and ale special for $ 13.99 which included a 10 oz strip, vegetables, potatoes and a choice of blue cheese or sautéed mushrooms and onions as a topper. Also with the special, you get a free pt of domestic beer. Pretty good deal and the food was good. My wife ordered the lobster and penne with vodka sauce. Lobster was kind of mushy and she sent it back. Our waiter apologized and offered us something else but my wife decided on dessert. She ordered the cinnamon bun and it was out of this world. We would definitely go back again. Our waiter Ben was awesome and very attentive to our needs. As we were walking out, the manager came up to is and apologized about the lobster but it happens and the dessert made up for it.

Not a fan at all. Slow service, cold food that did not taste good. Would not go back.

We got there when it opened and they were out of most things. Nice atmosphere. Would retry another day.

An organization I’m active in hosted an event at Sycamore Grille — and it was a huge success. Everyone was thrilled with the food, the room and the service. We’ll be back for sure!

First and last time. The service is friendly and attentive (for the most part), but the food is below average at best. Went here mistakingly for Valentines with my wife and had the worst meal I’ve had in the state of Pensilvania since I’ve moved here last fall. Scallops were tough and oddly sweet (not scallop sweet) as was the risotto; I added a stuffed Lobster tail which was tough and their «signature» crab stuffing tasted like cornmeal and was brought to me cold in the inside… Twice!!! Maybe it was my mistake to order high-​end entrees from a place of this caliber, but if you’re going to have them on your menu, then they should be at least palatable. This was bad period. Not worth the money or the upset stomach.

Below average, so below average. Everything we had was sub par — salad, bread, ribs, and pork loin all bad. Should have gone to the Gem and Keystone Pub instead.

We were there just last night. They were out of two main dishes even though we came at 5:30pm and the first customers to be served for the evening. The crab cake was edible but nothing to write home about. No lump crab just the canned shredded kind mixed with bread crumbs and not browned nicely either when cooked. The lobster dish was over cooked and the lobster had a mushy texture. The barbecue ribs had some parts that were difficult to chew and had to spit out into napkin. The carrot side was bland. I’ve had better carrots at a diner. The fresh basil strawberry lemonade cocktail was pretty good. My husband was over charged for his beer by $ 1.50. We have had their spinach salad specialty dish before and is usually very good. It was fairly good this time as well. The waitress was rude and made the dining experience there very uncomfortable when I sent back my dish. We ended up leaving early because she made sitting there feel so awkward and she smelled heavily of cigarette smoke. She was not apologetic at all but rather nasty. The hostess made a weak attempt to smooth the situation over. The best service came from the bus person. He was attentive and polite. The women serving in the restaurant could take a lesson in customer service from him. Bill came to over $ 110 for three people. I would have gotton better food and service from a diner and paid a whole lot less. I really expect more from an entre I paid $ 29.00 for. What a waste of an evening and money. I don’t know how they will keep their clientelle if this is what folks are expected to pay for.

Good food but service was very slow. It took 15 min before our waitress greeted us and that was after we asked another to find her. I will give credit though, our waitress was very nice. I had the Teriyaki Salmon. It was good, however I have had much better. Had the crab cake for an appetizer, which was excellent. The onion soup was ok, nothing special about it. If your looking for a quite place you might not care for it here. Very, very noisy place. I probably would of given 4 stars but just couldn’t with the service. I will definitely go back again and hopefully it will improve.

tl;dr EVERYTHING IS FROZEN OR CANNED.
The salmon on the salad was canned (did not say so on the menu), the baked brie was clearly frozen and pre-​made, as were the kids fries they had the nerve to describe as «signature» (you know they’re especially flavorless and disgustingly greasy when a 3 yr old turns them down after one bite). Grilled cheese using processed cheesed singles? GTFO with this garbage.
Even the steak appeared to have been cooked from frozen as it was pink, almost cool, in the middle and completely dry and overdone to be damned on the outside.
Don’t waste your time or money.

Nice atmosphere and better than average pub grub and beer selection, but loses points for indifferent, slow service. Would not recommend unless you have the time and patience for a long, leisurely meal.

While driving through the Poconos my wife and I were looking for a quick bite. We really didn’t have great expectations since there didn’t seem to be much of a Unilocal presence in this part of PA. So we were surprised to find Sycamore Grille with so many good reviews. And we were even more surprised to find that the food was really good. and the menu options were very modern.
When we got there were was a live cover band who that was playing mostly 90s 00s music. They were actually pretty good with a good range of variety. Thankfully we were seated away from the band because the volume was actually a little too loud.
My wife was thinking about getting a dish that included ricotta cheese but wasn’t sure if it was ok to being that she is pregnant. Thankfully the chef knew that it was best to avoid it and she was able to promptly order something else.
Our server was nice, and was earnest in being as helpful as possible. Next time we pass through this area on an empty stomach, this place will without a doubt be on the top of the list of places to eat.
