SYN Dupont Lounge & Bar

Make no mistake, it’s called a lounge and bar for a reason — this is not a restaurant for dinner. The space and menu lean far more toward a bar/lounge experience than a true dining one. The dishes are small plates, but the pricing does not reflect the portion sizes. Service was uneven. Our table of four received three mains at the same time, with the fourth arriving about six minutes later. The waitstaff was friendly but inattentive: water was not refilled unless requested, and the table was not checked on often. We were also charged for an extra beer we did not order. While it was removed before payment, there was no apology. Food-wise, the house hummus trio was misleading, as it was only one hummus rather than three. The pita served with it was good, but the accompanying vegetables were cut too large to dip and felt more like a small side salad. Cocktails were a highlight and well made. Overall, this is a fine spot for drinks, but expectations should be set accordingly if you’re planning to eat.

Super cute spot, the service was really good and the olive oil cake is amazing! Def a good spot to get drinks.

10/10 experience, amazing food and even better service. Can’t wait to come back!

Great cocktails and great vibes all around! They have a gem of a manager who goes above and beyond to make sure everyone is having a good time - so always ask for Rawda!!!
