We went to Silvester's last week and had an exceptional meal. An enjoyable atmosphere, and the service and food couldn't have been better. Jeremy booked as a great table, and our wait staff were friendly and helpful throughout with some great food and wine recommendations. I highly recommend the spanner crab and avocado entree, and definitely save room for dessert - unforgettable! I can't wait to go back again soon!
Couldn't Fault a thing! High level of service with extremely attentive staff. From the decor to the dining experience it was just perfection.
A lot of the 'classy' restaurants might provide petite dishes to look more sophisticated however, Silvesters didn't skimp out on the portion size nor the flavour yet they presented it with class!
BEST of both worlds.
Highly recommend - will definitely be back.
Love these food, got recommendations from foodies and feel satisfied. My favorite is the crab with avocado, duck breast cooked perfect, I will give 5 star to the food. The atmosphere is good 4 star, service 5 star, staff friendly and that’s really nice service.
At the end of September, we dined in Silvester's restaurant that is located in Sydney Harbour Marriott Hotel. From the menu design, I'm guessing they have a minor refresh every month. Interestingly, the menu item is separated by types, rather than the usual entree, main, and desserts... actually, desserts is another menu altogether.
Been here multiple times and always been impressed. Although located in a hotel, the ambience is quite nice. Food a 10/10. The matcha tart dessert is hands down my favorite dessert I’ve EVER had. Do yourself a favour and go try it
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. 🙂
All the food was cooked to perfection & full of flavours. Never had a beautiful fish dish like their Glacier 51 Toothfish. Loved the broad scalloping flakes texture & the snow white oily flesh. The clean sweet flavour paired perfectly with the light Japanese ginger dashi broth. 🙂
Aylesbury Duck had a succulent pink flesh accompanied by smooth & silky carrot purée. The only drawback was the sautéed witlof, it had a distinctive bitter taste which I didn’t like. 😌 Desserts were superb, everything was beautifully presented. I particularly loved the liquid nitrogen demonstration that came with the Blood Orange Sorbet. It was amazing to have a theatrical experience in a dessert. 🤩
One of the best breakfasts I had in Australia is at this place, Marriott at Circular Quay. If there is one word to describe it, that would be “Selection” as they do have tons of options for everyone, whether you are vegan, vegetarian, on Paleo diet, on Keto diet, gluten free you name it they have it, while I don’t have any of those dietary restrictions I was so amazed of what is on offer. Having said that meat eaters have a good selection as well so you won’t be disappointed.
Came here to celebrate a friend’s birthday and the food was good and unique. The design and atmosphere of the restaurant was really mesmerising! Definitely recommend getting the Spanner Crab Roll wrapped in Avocado (third photo). Was overall a good experience.
P.S. This was actually too much food for 2 girls (we barely ate the last meat dish) as everything was quite filling.
This place is absolutely divine: exquisite food (especially the seafood), impeccable service and a very good wine list. We enjoyed everything we ate and the highlight for me was the grilled pineapple dessert which was teamed with an olive oil cake and ginger beer sorbet. #finedining
More like a 4.5!!
The interiors and atmosphere of the restaurant are perfect for a romantic evening out!
The service was a bit slow between meals and inattentive, however, the waiters were all very polite and knowledgeable.
Highlights were definitely the spanner crab, kingfish crudo, glacier toothfish and braised short rib! The tandoori flavour complemented the toothfish surprisingly well, whilst a very generous amount of fresh crab meat was served in the spanner crab entree. The sides of baby corn, heirloom carrots and mixed mushrooms were delicious as they were cooked and seasoned so well!
Unfortunately I wasn’t the biggest fan of the blood orange sorbet as I did not agree with the coriander and blood orange flavour combination.
[invite] Bianca: Sydney Harbour Marriott received quite the facelift early last year. And part of that redevelopment was the flagship restaurant, Silvesters. Long gone are the days of sub-par hotel dining, Sydney has really stepped up its game. All within a few km’s of one another, you have, Silvesters, Mode at the Four Seasons, 117 Dining at the Intercon and Altitude at the Shangri-la. What a time to be alive!
Positive love this place. It's such a hidden gem in Circular Quay. But what's really unique is the food. Their French chef developed his unique style as a combination of French and Asian techniques and flavours. This means the menu features some pretty intriguing (and delicious) dishes. Plus, their servers really know their stuff - when it comes to the food, wine, and recommendations - making sure we've had a stellar time, everytime!
One of best hotel restaurants in Sydney.
Staffs are professional, welcoming, and very thoughtful and helpful.
Most importantly food is warm, tasty, and fresh to bring your lost appetite back.
Recommended!!
The food was amazing- the octopus and beef cheeks were so tender - the bread was superb. Staff were very attentive and were able to answer all of our difficult food related queries
Great breakfast, tasty, quality need working on especially for a five star hotel, service is a little slow, extreme price for coffee.
Amazing food! Impeccable service! Can't thank you enough for the personal touches from the gorgeous wait staff. A special thanks to the Head Chef, we really appreciated the extra effort you went to for us. Hugh, you really touched our hearts and made our special celebration that much more precious, something we will always treasure. Thank you all so much.
Really enjoyed lunch at Silvester's, the food was delicious. The crab and avocado roll was a great way to start our meal, the meat for our main dishes were really tender with flavours that complimented it well. Desserts were fun with different layers beyond what you could see. All topped with friendly service, I would go back for dinner!
Another awesome #firsttable dinner. Marriott hotel eatery - very spacious decor, loved the feeling of our space to move around comfortably. Open plan kitchen.
Booked: 2 families- four adults and two little ones with high chairs.
Our waitress was very cute, attentive and always happily smiling, who also happens to be Vietnamese. Each dish she served she knew exactly everything in it! Thank you 😊
We ordered 2 Sydney rock oysters each, they we so so fresh, a main each and two desserts to share.
I had the slow cooked gorgeous beef cheeks bedded in the silky yummy mash & fig sauce. We shared two sides as well. One of the dish was a sirloin beef and it looked kinda boring it had nothing supporting it but a small cup of sauce - just saying.
This night was accompanied with a nicely chilled bottle of Sav Blanc.
Over all very nice fine food and service. Kids friendly is a bonus! Thank you for the complimentary desserts too. 👌🏼
Good service, fairly tasty food, some dishes were overly salty. Highlight was the matcha desert. Portion size is on the smaller side. I would expect more for the price, although it can be good valued if on a special deal.
Unbelievable! We were amazed with the food and the service was top shelf, it is definitely on our list of placescto go back to. Thank you Chef for the complimentary starter of carrott and sorbet, it blew our minds
