Sycamore Vino Cucina in Camden

We were walk in customers after a matinee performance, the staff were lovely and very attentive. The food was fabulous, I had chicken 2 ways and my companion had crab linguine and we both had chocolate fondant with cherries which was divine. We came across the Sycamore totally by accident, what a great find!

This restaurant offers a wonderful variety of healthy breakfast options. The hospitality is superb and you feel very welcome and comfortable. The service staff is the best I have ever seen, working together as a team. Mary France is a special person who makes your visit memorable. She pays attention to every detail and treats you like family. She is the main reason why this is my favourite breakfast spot in England, followed by the delicious food.

We came to the restaurant as walk-in customers. The restaurant was fairly empty and we were told that they would clear an empty table for us while we waited at the bar. Whilst waiting the bartender ignored us. We weren’t offered a drinks menu or even acknowledged. Meanwhile, the waiter who was clearing a table for us had since given the table to another group. We waited a further 15 minutes - nobody acknowledged that we were there and there seemed to be no sense of urgency in giving us a table. We decided to leave. It might look 5 star but the service is definitely one star service.

From the moment you step inside, the warm and welcoming atmosphere sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The attentive staff adds a personal touch, ensuring every visit feels special. The menu boasts a delightful array of dishes, each crafted with precision and flair. Whether you’re savoring their pasta dishes, indulging in delectable desserts, or exploring their extensive wine selection, Sycamore Vina Cucina consistently delivers a culinary journey that leaves a lasting impression. It’s a haven for food enthusiasts seeking an elegant, yet approachable, dining experience in the heart of London.

Very dissatisfied and disappointed. Service was terrible. We waiting nearly 30 mins for some ice and drinks. The food was ok very slow. Our chips did not arrive. When bill came i checked to ensure chips were not on it to notice extra water and drinks were on our bill nearly £40 extra on our bill. Wouldnt go back.

Was so looking forward to visiting here based on previous reviews but was a definite let down. We had booked a table for 6:30pm on Saturday 2nd December. When we arrived we were told there were problems with their orders getting direct to the kitchen that we would have a possible one hr wait. As we had it booked we said ok and as we were being taken to our table in the restaurant end the waitress changed her mind and placed us at a table in the bar seating area. There were four of us but the seating places were only set for three and she said I’ll fix up another place setting which didn’t happen until constantly asked. The service was appalling we ordered water, cocktail, wine and glass of ice. The orders took forever to come even though we were shouting distance from the bar. We already had one bottle of water finished and had requested another and still had not got the ice from the original order. On request of the bill my daughter just quickly checked it as we had ordered chips which never came. We were being charged for 3 bottles of water even though we only had two, there were two other items on the bill not belonging to us which turned out to be the drinks for the table next to us totalling over £35. I would avoid this establishment like the plaque. It was the worst experience I have ever encountered

Excellent service and wonderful memorable food. As vegans, we were especially grateful to have our needs taken care of (even though the restaurant is not specifically geared toward vegans). We will return.

Attended the DW xmas party and the restaurant handled the event really well. A great night was had by all. Shelina gets a special mention for looking after us so well.

The service and food were on point for the DE party but the best part was Shelina! Her service was exceptional and I cannot thank her enough. Can't wait to come back again! Thanks Middle Eight team!

Great bar for a meet up, drinks with friends or a cozy couple rendezvous. Staff were terrific-helpful and accommodating and nothing too much trouble. Shelina took great care of us - thank you!

The food was absolutely superb. Thank you, David and team for looking after us, we will be back soon

New restaurant for us, chosen for its close proximity to the theatre we were attending that evening. What an excellent find. We were greeted warmly on arrival, and looked after throughout our early evening visit by the lovely Shelina. At Shelina’s suggestion we started our evening off with a refreshing glass of Prosecco. This was the perfect introduction. We shared arancini to start along with complimentary bread, oil and balsamic. Our main courses of Roasted Lamb Rump were perfectly cooked to our individual preferences and served with charred broccoli, Datterini tomatoes, and rosemary butter, with a side of creamy mash and an accompanying large glass of Nero d’Avola Ciello. All delicious. We opted to forego a dessert in favour of an Espresso Martini per head, and on the way out took the time to compliment the cocktail barman on his mixology skills. We had an excellent evening, where every member of staff we encountered went out of their way to give charming and attentive service. A major thumbs up to all.

Beautiful restaurant with amazing cocktails and food Service was 5*, Dulal and Olympia went above and beyond to ensure we had the best night, they are a credit to Hotel and their profession. Highly recommend Evening ended with Leo Green Experience in the QT, incredible end to a wonderful night

While staying at the Middle Eight Hotel, we dined 3 times at the Sycamore Vino Cucina, the in-house restaurant. A modern vibe with creative Italian dishes, we enjoyed every visit. The servers were great and remembered us after our first visit which is always a nice thing. We almost daily stopped by for a nightcap after our days exploring in London and the Cotswolds (day trip). The mashed pea tortelloni was out of this world good, and their cocktails are generous and not watered down. The restaurant is spacious yet intimate with views onto Great Queen Street which is always full of great people-watching. Highly recommend this superb restaurant if you are in the Holburn/Covent Garden area…. Or worth a tube/taxi ride to experience the unique flavors of their menu and the warm excellent service as well.

A new place for me. We came here to celebrate my friends birthday, hosted by her brother. There was a deal on a website for 30% off which is why he booked here. Unfortunately, 100% off would not have been good enough - the food was absolutely terrible. Most of our party had the tuna starter but it looked and tasted like it came out of a tin; we had some expensive mains of steak and lamb, both were appalling; some had the meatballs but even these were awful. I have rarely experienced such overpriced, unpalatable food in London and would caution anyone about this place. Avoid.

Absolutely fabulous meal!! Couldn’t recommend enough, the food was amazing, the restaurant was beautiful and Nora was so helpful and topped our meal off! Can’t wait to come back soon!
