Sylvester's North End Grille

Extremely overpriced and very stingy with their servings! Not to mention a carful of gross senior citizens hitting on each other! This would make a better sitcomthan a restaurant!

4 stars = will come back and would bring family & friendsClassic Italian with a modern flair to the food and plating. The interior is modern and comfortable. There is a screened in outdoor patio with a bar. Haven't tried it yet but definitely will. Large bar in the restaurant and if you follow my posts you know that is where I sat. Staff is friendly, attentive and are hospitality oriented. Ever had that waiter/waitress that had the enthusiasm of two teenage boys being forced to apologize to each other after a fist fight. Yeah, not that. They actually like being in the hospitality business. The food is very good. I had the rigatoni and my wife had the drunken chicken and loved it. Recommended. If Kay is bartending sit at the bar, she is awesome

Sylvester's used to be an exceptional experience with great food and great service. We would eat there 3-4 times a month and looked forward to weekends when they served prime rib. Their people were the best and they made you feel like family.However, since the reopening after accident, everything other than the upgraded decor has been "hit or miss" and more often a big miss.Can't quite tell if it's lack of management oversight or deliberate disregard for delivering quality. They are often out of menu items including prime rib on the weekend.Food quality ranges from fair to poor. For example, have been served cold food several times, seafood and steak dishes have been served with questionable "freshness".Service has a similar range of quality especially from the newer staff that do not seem properly trained. A few of the old-time staff are still there to offer endless excuses for why things have "slipped".My last visit I experienced an unpleasant dish of old, greasy linguine and clams ...this finally did me in. This regular won't be back.Truly disgusting, disappointing and feel bad for the staff that have attempted to keep Sylvester's going.

Evening at the bar was pleasant. Hamburger was quite good. No sub for fries. Cheese is extra. Spaghetti was good. Not sure $3 extra for vodka sauce is needed. Give me hot pepper flakes. Bartender Vanessa a.k.a. "Kelly " is very nice and fun.

First time eating here. The service (Bailey) was excellent! We both had steak, which was also excellent! We will definitely eat here again!

Would have given this place three stars if it wasn't so expensive. For 150 bucks for 2 people, I expect better quality.The food wasn't bad. It was passable. The Cioppino was pretty good actually. But I could get it anywhere. My wife ordered the sea bass special. It was billed as coming with a peach bourbon sauce. There was no sauce. And the blackened coating had little flavor. No hits of peach or bourbon but for the 3 peach slices. The side of veg was the medley you buy in bulk from Sam's club to steam on weeknights. None of it was the gourmet quality you expect at that price. The service was flawless. No complaints there. The atmosphere was blah. It smelled kind of moldy with no windows or airflow in the area where we were seated. It was well lit and the tables were white cloth covered and freshly made.Bottom line: you can get far better for this price. You can even get far better for half the price in this area.

Four of us at dinner last night and all our meals were perfect. The place was crowded but that didn't slow down our waiter or stop us from getting our food served quickly. Will definitely be going back there. .

VERY DisappointingWas there with family tonight. The wait time for dinner (One full hour and 10 minutes from when order was placed) . In addition the walleye I ordered was cold, dry and tasted like someone stepped on it. The most disappointing part of this experience was that the manager could not be bothered to come over and rectify the issue. She was very consumed laughing and having a wonderful time with customers.Meanwhile I was humiliated after telling my family how wonderful the restaurant was.I left disappointed, hungry and with the clear impression that the manager could care less how poor the evening was for our group.The server was nice and tried to be helpful. No one else was.

We have always LOVED, the food and service at Sylvester's. Tonight was a disappointment. The halibut seemed like a pressed fish and the oil it was cooked left and after taste. The salad was nothing, with too much dressing literally slopped on it. The dessert was fine, the wine was also fine. The waiter was underwhelming. I don't plan on returning.

The wife and I visited Sylvester's Saturday August 17th, 2024. the drinks were excellent as were the appetizer's. i ordered the Prime Rib rare fact is I said the rearer the better but when the food came out the Prime Rib was well done. at that point I could have sent it and waited another 30-45 min but we were on a schedule. Fact is that I clearly didn't get what I asked or paid for and as a result my dinner was not an enjoyable experience. Would the wife and I go back anytime soon, absolutely not, there are many restaurant's that will actually prepare the food that you order the way you expect it and without surprises. I do not recommend any dining establishment that makes your meal the way that's easiest for them.
