Living off their rep Ambiance was nice Staff was arrogant Menu was limited Food was average-ran out of crab cakes on a Sunday-fried green tomato was bitter- bun was good....but they don't make their buns-fries were cold- sazerac was tiny- think 4oz juice glass- and average With so many other choices in the French Quarter- would not return

The place is quint essential Nola. Bartenders here are some of the best in the city. Menu is short but brevity is best when you do it all right. Flavor explodes and when you go to swallow your drink you are conflicted and overwhelmed. Small little dove right by the cathedral on charters- best little secret in the city

Make your way here for an espresso martini...you'll be SO glad you did. Cafe Borghetti liqueur is an absolute game changer in this cocktail!

Great food. A bit noisy. Make sure you make a reservation, otherwise it’s next to impossible to get in.

This place shuns the local distillery in favor of overcharging for well made drinks from conglomerates.

The beauty of the French Quarter is all of the holes in the walls and alleys you can duck into to get off the crowded streets that turn out to be first class establishments.Sylvain is no different. Peaking through the alley entrance you see right through to the courtyard seating area. Lovely area especially on a nice evening as was the case when I was there. The bar was old school and classy.Our group's meals were two Sylvain burgers and fries (both exceptional though simple), the short rib, and striped bass. Each dish was prepared to perfection and complimented by great table service. The gnocchi style crab and dumplings were an excellent and tasty surprise.
There isn't enough good to say about.. from the moment we sat down it was an amazing experience. Angelle took care of us and delightful is still too weak a word. The apps (cauliflower, cornbread, and fries), to the salads to the entrees (bolognese, short rib) and a burger and the cocktails is amazing!! We had such an amazing experience after 2 bad nights and this made up for it. Amazing!!! We'll be back.

Exceptional service from Hannah. We had the shrimp remoulade and a couple of delicious mocktails.
Though Sylvain’s has been around for a while we just recently discovered it and it’s now a must when visiting New Orleans!I mean, how many places can you order champagne and fries?!The food is great - definitely recommend the chicken sandwhich and bolognese! The cocktails are amazing too - a good variety of both the classics and creative craft cocktails! It’s a fairly small, intimate place with seating options including the indoor dining area, outdoor courtyard, or bar seating. It’s perfect for a date night, (whether it be a first date, or anniversary),a girl’s get together, or couples outing!
Look idk if I should be using 1 star or 5. But here me out. I'm just done random guy but the ribs are the best thing I've ever tasted and the peas and onions that came with it were absolutely the most bland unapetizing thing I've ever eaten. Chef. Season and cook up those vegetables. And 5 stars all the way

We loved Pearl. She is a true gem. She made sure we were taken care of and we were. The food was great and they brought out the salad instead of the sandwich and I was so satisfied with the flavor of the salad I told them their salad was excellent and not worry about the sandwich but brought my sandwich anyway. Great flavors and a very accommodating staff, my new favorite place. I hope I can get Pearl the next time.

Was nervous about dinner last night due to the most recent reviews I have seen online about food quality and temperament of staff, but boy were they wrong. Food 10/10. Service 10/10. Ambiance 10/10. Everything was phenomenal. The corn bread, the beets we outstanding, the mushroom entree was insane! Will definitely be back again.
