Berg Hospitality Group announced the grand opening of The Sylvie on Friday, June 28. Situated within Hines’ and Ivanhoé Cambridge’s 47-story Texas Tower, the French-European bistro promises to captivate an array of Downtown patrons with its diverse menu offerings served for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
“We are thrilled to embark on this venture with our esteemed partners Hines and Ivanhoé Cambridge to provide an exceptional dining experience that not only fuels their tenants for a productive workday but also establishes a premier destination for upscale dining in the heart of downtown,” said Benjamin Berg, Owner & CEO of Berg Hospitality Group in a statement.
Poised to become a sought-after locale for business gatherings, pre-theatre meals and downtown dwellers, The Sylvie’s menu caters to both those on the move and diners seeking a leisurely sit-down experience. Guests can kick start their day with a convenient grab-and-go breakfast of fresh pastries or dine in for plated morning delights like Avocado Tartine, Belgium Buttermilk Waffles, or a Lemon Chia Seed Parfait. A full-service coffee bar boasts an array of caffeinated brews alongside beverages like Watermelon Iced Green Tea.
For a fresh mid-day meal, the lunch menu offers an array of salads including Kale and Quinoa with chipotle lime dressing and Panzanella with heirloom tomatoes, Persian cucumber and basil. Handheld options served with chips feature a Thai Chicken Wrap, Caprese Panini, and Prosciutto Sandwich on Sourdough. Guests can also savor gourmet pizzas hot from a central glass mosaic oven, with selections ranging from classic Pepperoni to Fennel Sausage and Gorgonzola.
For dinner, guests can enjoy crafted, protein-forward entrees accompanied by sides. Lamb Meatballs and Honey Roasted Chicken Breast meet sides of Duck Fat Roasted Potatoes and Brussels Sprouts for a hearty evening meal. Guests can indulge in a delightful post-work or pre-show beverage with a selection of classic cocktails, wine and beer.
The name “Sylvie,” derived from the French form of Sylvia, is a name originating for the Latin word for forest and represents the effect of the lighting and architecture of the space—especially pertaining to the central floor-to-ceiling tree like sculpture lit from within. Spanning 3,267 square feet, the spherical restaurant accommodates 85 guests in a bistro bar and dining room. With a color palette boasting brass, rust, and rose tones, The Sylvie offers an environment where classic meets current. Stone countertops are complemented by brushed bronze fixtures and accents throughout. Dark mauve marble flooring adds a luxurious touch underfoot, while white oak banquette millwork provides warmth and sophistication. Accents of fluted mirror and ribbed gold glass cast a warm glow against the backdrop of soft curved lines and delicate textures. The restaurant’s name is elegantly displayed in ring signage adding a contemporary twist.
Located at 845 Texas Avenue, The Sylvie is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner Monday through Friday 7am to 9pm and Saturday 10am to 8pm.
