Reviews for Sylvain in New Orleans, LA
We were walking down the street and saw a candlelit courtyard and a smell I can't describe. We decided to stroll down the alley... and see what was smelling so good. We were lucky and only had to wait two minutes for a table. We were limiting ourselves ondishes so we could eat more so we picked one thing, and It made me just want more. We did thier cabbage dish, it's grilled andserved with a peanut and tomato sauce. It's hard to explain but I'll never forget it. I honestly cannot wait to come back to newOrleans just for this place! The staff was amazing by the way, also, offer to buy these amazing chefs a round of drinks too,they're worth it!! Read more
Really well prepared food. The fries were perfect. Chicken sandwich and burger were both really good. Cute little outside... eating area. I had a sazerac which was tasty and well made. Overall we’d definitely eat there again. Read more
Pork loin, salad, grilled octopus appetizer and a beer all for under $100. We didn't have reservations so we opted for sitting... at the bar, a few minutes wait. We could have sat outside in the courtyard, but as of late the temperature has been close to100. All in all a pleasant dining experience. Read more
Was exhausted from a long day of sight seeing and almost didn’t make it to Sylvain’s, especially since they were so busy,... they weren’t doing delivery. I am so glad I stumbled over because it was definitely one of the best meals I had in NewOrleans! Came for the cornbread with spicy, honey butter (and gorgeous crust), stayed for the marvelous atmosphere and*talented* bar manager, Cynthia. I sat at the bar and despite handling multiple tables and orders at once, always made sure Iwas looked after. The salad with fried chicken was also super yummy with great textures— next time I’ll ask for dressing onthe side. Read more
I'd been walking around the French Quarter all day looking for a good restaurant that wasn't too expensive or touristy. I was... actually walking to check out a place next door and passed an alley with groovy music. The alley led to a cool courtyard withoutdoor dining and a dark bar. I didn't have a reservation but they squeezed me in on the patio. I started with deliciouscornbread that the kitchen brought out warm. The salmon was probably the best I've ever had, and I couldn't resist the bananapudding for dessert. The service was friendly and prompt. One of the best meals I've had in a long time and I wasn't evenlooking for this place. A new favorite! Read more
The charm of this restaurant is how unassuming every aspect of it is, starting with its tucked-away location that you could... almost walk right by. The menu is so delicious all around that you can’t go wrong, although the corn bread (with a spicy kick)and braised short rib (mouth watering) are delectable. Also, get your sazerac here because the bartenders know what they’redoing. Pull up a chair and enjoy yourself for a delicious meal without breaking the bank. Read more
Our group LOVED Sylvain. It's the perfect blend of cool, funky, friendly and yummy. I brought a large group in for a birthday... and the wait staff was so kind. The pappardelle w/bolognese was my favorite. Can't wait to go back. Great drinks too. Read more
Great restaurant in the middle of the quarter on Chartres. Very cool, sexy vibes. Located in an old carriage house it's got a... cool bar with nice cocktails. Try the 'Urban Sombrero'. It's like a smoky strawberry margarita. The menu is seasonal and Iusually go with their pork dishes. I've had pork loin, pork belly, pork neck...all with interesting sides like rice grits. Thecharred cabbage was delicious too. The music is always on point, from 50s Cuban mambo to 60s reggae to garage rock, etc. Theplace is cool and the food is creative and lovingly nad3 with high quality ingredients. Great to impress your date and get themood going or by yourself at the bar. Also boasts a sweet courtyard to dine in as well! Read more
