Ben Berg Opens Turner’s Cut Steakhouse and the Sylvie in Houston | Eater Houston

"Housed in Downtown’s 47-story Texas Tower, the Sylvie presents itself as an all-day cafe and bar that Berg calls the "most beautiful all-day cafe and bar in the city," and I found it to deliver a full-day program from grab-and-go pastries and plated breakfasts (avocado tartines, Belgian buttermilk waffles, lemon chia seed parfaits) to a full-service coffee bar, lunchtime salads, sandwiches and gourmet pizzas from a glass mosaic oven, and dinners like lamb meatballs and honey-roasted chicken breast with sides such as duck fat-roasted potatoes and Brussels sprouts. The dining room, which seats about 85 across a bistro bar and dining area, is anchored by an illuminated tree-like sculpture that stretches floor to ceiling and uses a palette of brass, rust, and rose tones to evoke the restaurant’s name roots (French Sylvia/Latin for forest)." - Brittany Britto Garley
