Reviews
Service was attentive but reserved and not intrusive, as always, very French in style.
My only suggestion would be to freshen up the dining room with lighter colored walls, it would elevate the experience even more.
If gazpacho is being served, I always order it. This was the best I’ve had: creaminess from yogurt and lots of minced cucumber. My main course was actually an appetizer: BBQ Shrimp. Thick roux with a dose of spice. Finally, what can be said about their creme brulee other than it was perfectly elegant. Highly memorable!
The food is exquisite. The kitchen is quite accommodating, too; I like really spicy food, and most places don’t believe me (‘middle-aged white woman can’t possible really mean spicy!’) and won’t spice up my dish. But this kitchen can take their fish almondine and make it extra spicy while still retaining the buttery richness that makes this nutty dish a star. I have a hard time ordering anything else, because it is so good and they make it so perfectly, just for me. My husband is stuck on their shrimp and grits; the shrimp sauce is dark and redolent of long-stewed seafood stock and the grits are perfectly al dente with a creaminess that is outta this world. We’ve had seared callops and ropa viejo and daily specials at Sycamore House, too, and everything has been excellent. The salads are perfectly dressed, very lightly.
Every detail is perfect, but nothing is fussy. The ambience is charming, and you are always greeted with a warm smile. It’s a home run from the outset, starting with the crispy French bread and whipped, creamy butter. The wine list is good, too. You absolutely can’t go wrong here. I almost forgot to mention the desserts, because we’re almost always too full, but they are also fab! I can personally vouch for the key lime pie and the creme brulee.
Someone had just cancelled and we got in!
Such a hidden gem in the heart of downtown Bay Saint Louis!
Thank you to the amazing staff and chefs. We had an amazing experience and delightful dinner at the Sycamore House.
Highly recommend!
We’ll definitely be back!
The service was the real issue. We went for my dad’s 61th birthday. Took about 20min to be brought bread and waters, waitress was very spacey and another waitress came to take our order because she’d noticed it had been so long, our waitress was also — I’m sorry to say — not quite cohesive with the atmosphere: messier presentation and exhausted/inconvenienced attitude.
I also pulled her aside to ask if there was something we could do for my dad’s birthday, as he hates to make a fuss but secretly wants some elements of celebration. She ended up bringing out a bread pudding with a candle which was nice, but I was a bit surprised with the bill, I’ll be honest. We have absolutely no qualms with paying and tipping well, but — and maybe I’m just traditional and things have changed — I was a bit surprised to see the birthday dessert on the bill. Again, we’re fine to pay and I didn’t bring it up, but it did feel a bit off for what is probably aimed at being the most fine dining service in BSL, and just in my personal experience in past bdays in BSL and elsewhere — it just felt a bit cheap for the atmosphere and intended level of service.
But the larger issue was presentation and attitude toward her tables, as I also saw the table next to us get their Aperols 15-20min after ordering them.
But fabulous food and probably fantastic for private events with that gorgeous space & if you can pick the staff.
Included photo of my curry — not my best photo but definitely the best flavor!!
The food was absolutely wonderful- but don’t call ahead for a reservation- even when they say they accept walk- ins, it’s not necessary- and then you walk in and they ask what your reservation is under and you didn’t make one…and they seem irritated
