It is the early 1990's and there is a bar on the Upper East Side of Manhattan called Sylvia's. Legend says it's a place where everyone falls in love. Owned by childhood friends, Jack Prince and Thomas Mason, Sylvia's is a place where the lights shine soft red and amber. All kinds of New Yorkers drink there from gangsters to ex-star athletes to high class call girls. The staff is composed of wannabe actors and actresses. A large and powerful restaurant chain based in Chicago wants to expand to New York and buy Sylvia's. But everyone comes together and it's all hands on deck, waiters, waitresses, cooks, contractors, bus boys, bartenders and the two street wise owners as they battle with the all, powerful restaurant chain, for the soul of the place, where everyone falls in love.
