Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Belmont

Overall we had a great meal at Pammy’s. The food and service were great, and the ambiance and decor were lovely. The value of the menu is lacking imo. $84 with no drinks including for 3 relatively small plates. The “choose your own adventure” seems to be a bit of a gimmick as most people will order a starter, pasta, and main. Not only that, but they tack on a mandatory 6% extra charge for their kitchen staff. Here’s an idea- they should use the substantial amount of money we pay them for the food and drinks, and use that to pay their staff a fair wage. I have to say it left a terrible taste to feel nickel and dimed in this way. At $550 for a dinner for 4, with only about one drink per person, as much as I enjoyed the meal, I can’t say this was a good value or something I’d do again. I would strongly advise that they include any mandatory fees in the cost they advertise, instead of hiding a surprise fee in fine print on the menu.

Always great to see what’s new at Sycamore. The local squash salad was so great with an amazing savory granola! Also the chocolate cake with hazelnut ice cream was delicious. Thank you, David!!

My wife and I reserved the recommended two weeks ahead of time. I was not able to find the exact time we wanted (6 PM) but we were able to accommodate the 8:15. We showed up a little early. Everyone was great. Food was awesome. My wife had the pasta and scallops. I had the rare dish, wild hare. We shared the affogato. All of it excellent!

We had the chefs tasting menu and it was fantastic

Came with my sister who was visiting Boston and had never been to Cambridge. The ambiance is elegant and modern and the cocktails & food were very good. Service was super friendly and helpful as well. HIGHLY recommend the lobster caccio e Pepe. Will return!!
