“ Awesome steak and incredible decor! Honestly one of my favorite steakhouses around the globe. ”
“ What an awesome place. The house it is located at was built for Mexican legend and actress Maria Felix. It has been transformed into a beautiful restaurant with several rooms all connected to create an elegant place. It’s two bars are made with large tree logs adding a unique touch. It has an elevator for those with limited mobility. We tried the Kobe beef. It was a delight. The place is pricy but it is worth every penny. ”

The food: outstanding. From appetizers to the amazing dessert. Their take on the T-Bone steak was perfect, tender and exactly as I ordered. Everyone on the table was happy with their choice of entree. I definitely hope to return everytime I am in town. ”
“ Wonderful Evening at Sylvester! My husband, Matt, and I had an incredible dinner at Sylvestre in Polanco! The ambiance was elegant, and we started with their delicious Old Fashioneds , perfectly crafted. As an appetizer, we enjoyed the provoleta cheese , which was a delightful addition that set the tone for the meal. I ordered the filet mignon , and it was absolutely phenomenal—tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection. The Fiji water was a nice touch, adding a bit of luxury to our meal.
