The Sycamore at Chatham Mills

We celebrated our 29th anniversary with dinner here. It was an excellent choice. We started with the crab cake appetizer. It was a delicious serving of crab with a tomato sauce. For an entree I had the baked wahoo. My wife had the ostrich steak. Both were delicious. We shared the creamed red potatoes and the mix garden salad. The potatoes were smooth and tasty. The salad was an amazing mix of greens, tomatoes, feta, strawberries and a lite vinaigrette. Tabatha our server was attentive and offered marvelous dining suggestions. For dessert my wife had the olive oil lemon cake with blackberries. Reminded me of one of my mom's cakes growing up. I had the peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream. It was perfect with my French press coffee. Very satisfying meal. They had a wonderful pianist playing. We had a great evening in this comfortable unique restaurant. They also have an old fashion lounge where you can relax and get some lighter fare. Make sure to make reservations since it does not have a large capacity.

So my lower rating for this restaurant is based on the price to quality ratio of the food. The restaurant as a whole is very nice. The staff was pleasant and we enjoyed the experience. The challenge for me is that the price of the food was some of the highest in the area competing with very fine dining establishments. Based on where Sycamore positions themselves among other restaurants, I would give them a 3 star rating.On a positive note, the restaurant is in an old building / mill that has very high ceilings that are constructed of wood beams. Very pretty and nice ambiance. I would definitely give it another try.

A very nice restaurant though a surprisingly formal setting (piano player), which you are not expecting in Pittsboro. I started with truffled burrata and it was an excellent dish, the cheese worked well with the poached pear. I had ostrich as a main, less for the novelty, more because game is usually lower fat (thus less unhealthy) than beef. At first, I was like nothing special, but the flavor really grew on me (it looked and tasted like steak). Had Brussels sprouts as a side and they were good. It wasn't the most memorable or my best meal ever, but everything was good + and I would happily return.

Service was outstanding. Waiters were nice and friendly giving the ambiance a hidden elegance. Good was very good and generous.

Good food fast service. We put stop in Pittsboro. My daughter enjoyed the Mac and cheese, it's fine dining.

Amazing food. Fantastic service (friendly and funny). I will be returning often for the food and ambiance.

Our second visit. Just as good as the first time. The duck was cooked to perfection! Next time I try the ostrich. Handsome was as handsome as always. Best server ever. The atmosphere was great. Love just sitting enjoying a delicious cocktail, no rushing.

We absolutely adore this place. It is one of our favorites in the area. The decor and ambiance of the place is great. The food is absolutely amazing. There is not one thing I would change. The service we got was friendly, knowledgeable, and informed. The ostrich is *chefs kiss* and totally worth it.

What an outstanding meal at the Sycamore. Food was delicious and service was excellent. I can't recommend them enough if you are in the Chatham County area. Well worth the drive if you're not!

I love everything about this place ! Food , to start , everything is fresh and local ! Service is so welcoming. And the atmosphere is so warm. Lovely piano played every night and just so much detail.
