It is always a pleasure to have dinner and drinks here. Mr. Syd certainly knows how to impress with the menu! We always have a hard time choosing because everything we’ve ever had has always been mind-blowingly delicious. The atmosphere is warm and happy, unpretentious. The drinks, made by the lovely Cat, are always on point. The desserts are to die for…Saving room for them is difficult, but an absolute must do. Looking forward to our next visit!

Very eclectic decor. The menu was small but unique. Every dish was very delicious and unexpectedly surprising. Everything was crafted perfectly together. The selection of wines and bourbons were excellent too. Probably one of the best dinners I’ve had in ages.

Generous portions and surprisingly low cost. This place is small but really cool! I ordered the etouffee and asked for extra spicy. The meal did not disappoint. Another in my party had the flat iron steak and immensely enjoyed it, it came with a pancake on top. In a very classy move by the chef Syd, he stopped by our table to make sure we enjoyed our meal and chat for a minute. Possibly because he wanted to check if the food was too spicy. I will certainly return to try more of the great food made here.

This cafe is quite interesting with a fun collection of art and originals by Syd. The staff and Syd hosted a private dinner that was wonderfully done with the best cocktails. Virginia ham and fresh house made bread were insanely good! Our group had the best evening with lots of laughs. You can also pick up a few of Syd’s products like grits and his magical sauce to take home.

First time diner, looking forward to the next time! This place has a weird (in a good way) funky vibe and style. Their decor is funky as well as the wording on their menu. I ordered the house Rye cocktail and the Pork o Rama Grande entree. The cocktail was great! Slight twist to an Old Fashioned. The dinner was amazing! The house made sausage was full of flavor and the grits were delicious! The vegetable medley was cooked perfectly and the sauce was a great compliment. I was approached by the chef, who I’ve now come to learn is the legendary Syd himself, to see how I liked the meal. Considering I ate the plate clean plus two baskets of bread, I let him know that I absolutely loved it! The menu is a bit different so if you are open minded and not looking for a specific cuisine, this is a great place to dine at. Can’t wait until I am back in town and eat here again!

Must delicious restaurant ever! Our hotel had two bad restaurant recommendations, so we plodded along trying to find other options and we stumbled upon Syd’s Fish Pig Cafe and we are SO glad we did. Syd’s is one of the best restaurants we have ever dined in and that’s including restaurant’s abroad and elsewhere. What a gem of a restaurant, you will not be disappointed. Our dinner was incredible, the fish SO fish and as well as all of the other items and ingredients. Bread was out of this world too. The craft drinks are also amazing. Do yourself a favor, you must experience wonderful dining at Syd’s. We also had the good fortune of meeting Syd, a really fun, authentic individual who is truly talented and really cares about providing a top dining experience. Can’t wait to visit Norfolk again and dine again at Syd’s.

Just awesome! Imma picky food lover, and this place just surprised me with outstanding drinks and amazing food! Bartender Cat bravo- name a drink – she got it! Award winning! Food is so good, with a new twist, I’m in love with their savory pies!!! Duck pate mouth watering- must try! Handmade decorations and pictures make the atmosphere in the restaurant very unique! Service was 5+, all the stuff was very nice, and even Chef stopped by to check on our table! Will be back!

For Date Night, my partner and I decided to try out this restaurant. We were very excited because their were many great reviews online. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a friendly host. She sat us down and gave us a reasonable time to decide on our food choice. I decided on Gumbo and my partner decided on shrimp and grits. We both had bread as an appetizer.

My husband and I had the most fantastic date night here. From the hospitality to the food quality there was nothing but top-notch attention. Byron took excellent care of us all night, Kat handled our luscious cocktails and wine needs, and Syd assembled the most delicious faire we’ve had in a grip. Duck so tender and flavorful I couldn’t believe it. A fresh medley of summery veggies. A 45-day dry aged steak!? Come on. This place is a true gem all the way down the ticket. Hospitality, atmosphere, cuisine, it’s the whole package.

Syd has done it again! What a wonderful place to enjoy outstanding food and excellent service. You can tell the ingredients are special and prepared with love- from the amazing butter with the amazing bread, through the salad, the mains and the “lemon project” dessert that made us want to order one for the road. 🙂 Whether a quiet dinner for one or two, or with a group of friends, Syd’s FishPig Cafe is a culinary treat and a joy to experience!
