Silvester's Restaurant

My husband and I dine out regularly. We've noticed that it's often the little things that set the good restaurants apart from the very good. The staff at Silvester's did 2 little things that I appreciated. Firstly, someone folded my cloth napkin nicely while I was at the bathroom (lovely hand wash and body lotion provided). Secondly, the most delicious petit fours were served to us, free of charge, while we were drinking our tea at the end of the meal. Thanks Silvester's; a VERY enjoyable dining experience!

Extremely nice restaurant. Food was incredible

The food presentation was excellent, as was the quality of the meal. With first table, it was also excellent value. We had the risotto, spanner crab, beef cheek and striploin - all were beautifully plated and delicious. The wine list was relatively untroubling with plenty of options in the $50 - 80 range. Cocktails were very insta-friendly but not quite standing out.

The service was largely energetic and helpful but suffered from being a little too enthusiastic in places. Unfortunately so many front of house staff seem to have the unhappy knack of always asking how the meal is while I'm halfway through a mouthful of said meal. Still, the service levels were good on the whole otherwise.

A wonderful fine dining experience with beautiful modern & refined food. They use quality ingredients in creating their dishes, such as British breed Aylesbury Duck, MSC certified Glacier 51 Toothfish and Yellowfin Tuna. Service was top notch with friendly, attentive & professional staff.

We had a lovely evening sitting ringside to the open kitchen and taking in the theatre of it all which added an extra dimension to our meal. It was all calm and rhythmic - no Ramsey antics here. This is a fine dining experience and a good one. Each course was delicious and generous in size. It was nice to see a wide selection of vegetable side dishes which is rare these days. The service was slick and friendly. Top marks!

Great food and service! Loved it thoroughly. Will come back again!!!

The food was simply delicious. We started with yellow fin pizza which is not what you think .Absolutely delicious. Crab i a beautiful avocado wrap was thw second beautiful starter. For mains we had Lamb belly &tooth fish . Exceptional. Lovely dessert.
The service was a bit to attentive . The waitress pretty much stood near our table which felt a little uneasy. Go for the food.
Top Notch!

Delicious food and excellent customer service.
We will definitely come back soon.

Excellent place, nice fine dining .. the wagyu cheek is impeccable. staff is friendly

Great food and service. Nice and quiet for a business lunch or meeting.

Booked this restaurant for a surprise belated friends birthday. The best fine dining experience, quite elegant place to chat with friends while having quality cuisine. the menu was very simple to read and select our meal. The food was delicious , well presented and good quality.
The service was very professional and attentive in compare to other restaurants that we have been to. No pressure for timing for order , we took our time and had a great night.
Restaurant added complimentary cute special birthday chocolate display for the birthday girl. Made her special day.
Very satisfied over all would go back .

This has become my most favourite restaurant in Sydney. The atmosphere is calm and peaceful and provides a comfortable and welcoming place to sit and talk with friends. There is no competing background noise which is so appreciated.
The food is absolutely delicious and the staff are excellent. I could not fault either. This was a return visit and I can not speak more highly of it.
The staff are so courteous,helpful and attentive. The whole outfit is impressive. Take a bow one and all.

Wonderful. The prawns in Miso broth with daikon were sensational. The Glacier toothfish was excellent and the wagu strip loin lived up to my guest's desire for really good red meat whilst visiting Australia. The sommelier was very helpful and allowed us to taste a few wines before choosing a bottle. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. The complimentary handmade chocolates were divine. We had a very enjoyable evening and would recommend this for business, special occasion or a date night.

It was very good restaurant that I have been recently. I had a dinner with my friends and we all satisfied. Their sevice also good.

Fantastic food and service. Highlight was the matcha tart for dessert! Great setting and location.

It was our first time dining at Silvester's and it wont be our last. The food was outstanding and the service terrific, with a little humour thrown in as well. We were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and the team at Silvestor's helped make it a very special experience for us. Thank you!

Excellent food, fantastic value and service

A fantastic restaurant that is definitely worth a visit. All the dishes we had were delicious and well presented. I could not be anymore satisfied with the meal.

A French restaurant situated in Circular Quay with a nice contemporary design and lovely atmosphere. I would highly recommend Silvester's, not only for its mouth-watering food, but also for the wondering staff.

Overall rating: 10/10

See here for the amazing dishes we had: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvl7iv3g3_H/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet

We had a lovely quality meal last at Silvesters. Great food and very attentive service, we'll be back for our next celebration!

Def would go back again!!!!

Delicious food however our dining experience took a dive when the Payments system was down as they hadn’t charged the eftpos machine. For a hotel restaurant we would have expected better attention to detail. Also the staff were all trainees which reflected on the service. Would not go back.

One of my favourite restaurants. Fantastic food and service. I always bring a different dining companion so they can have the Silvester experience

Had a girls night out here and it was amazing!! The food was superb, surrounded by elegant decor and we had dessert that we had to keep ordering more of! Yum!

Ambience is pleasant with plenty of space between tables.Food good as is wine with ample choice.Service good if somewhat erratic.

Delicious food and friendly staff. the tofu panacotta was amazing! i highly recommend Silvester's!

We had a really lovely time at Silvester's, it feels like it is quite hidden away from city bustle and they do absolutely divine food!

Over all experience was awesome. Especially the dessert, the waiter called Deeshan provided us with very good service unfortunately he left before we did. We left him a good tip and we hope he got it.

Amazing food. Service was really helpful. Would reccomend the blood orange sorbet ! Very good desert, good photos for insta

Wow. What an incredible experience. The food was exquisite! The service was impeccable. And the surprise petit four desserts at the end of our meal topped it all off! Wowsers! Will definitely be back!!!

Food were very dry and tasteless. Service was very poor. I was expecting explicit and outstanding service but I was disappointed.

Great experience and delicious food! If you are looking for a calm atmosphere, good service, modern cuisine, and reasonable price, you should give a try and have a nice dinner with your loved one at the Silvester’s. Enjoy!

Professional service. Food is pure delight. Best place for fine dining in Sydney

Stunning - staff were friendly attentive and professional asking if everything was good making sure we had right cutlery pepper etc - food was delightful - plates heated tender tasty delicious well done and we will be back

I had dinner with a close friend and wanted him to have a great meal before he headed overseas. Our waitress for the evening was extremely friendly and polite.

First we shared the burrata which was very light and well seasoned. For mains I had the toothfish which was juicy and sweet, whilst my friend had the Mooloolaba prawns which he said were larger than any prawns he had com across in the UK. Lastly we had the oozing matcha lava tart and blood orange sorbet for dessert which were not only delicious but also theatrical with liquid nitrogen to create a refreshing garnish.

Overall this was a fantastic dining experience.

Nice atmosphere! We love the pete with brioche. It is so delicious. We even ordered twice! The manager, Maria, at Silvester provided excellent hospitality and service! Will go back again for sure!
