Best Local Ingredients Restaurants in Waltham

Sycamore is a wonderful local and very special restaurant!

Food was really good! Service was good until our entree was served. At this point we no longer had service. Never asked if we wanted dessert or coffee (and we did!) and had to set up raid block to get the attention of our waitress just to finally get the check.

Absolutely wonderful!! Our wedding celebration was an incredible experience with attentive, warm and courteous servers. The food was delicious and the ambiance was perfect. Thank you so much for making our evening so special!!

Stan is the man – we had a great time at Forage for their Tuesday wine menu. Each item had a fun and unique pairing and the food was as delicious as it was unique (i.e. pickled flowers??). At each course we got the full story of the winemaker, the specific bottle, how that related to the food, etc....See More

Incredible food that is clearly hand selected by season, and a very familiar feeling immediately with the pleasant staff. Indoor and outdoor seating is available which is a bonus. Have already been back a few times since my first visit.

The food was excellent as usual. The servers have seemed to be stretched thin the last couple of times I've been. Lunch took 2 hours and 10 minutes. Everyone was nice, though, and the food was lovely.

I am quickly becoming a regular. Staff was wonderfully attentive. The food is reliably excellent.

Excellent food, kind and friendly waitstaff. Would consider a little overpriced, but its in the heart of Harvard Square and we’re coming out of a pandemic.

Always outstanding, from the food, to the wine, to the service. One of our favorite spots in the city.

Great food and great staff
