Sidney Street Cafe

The Caesar salad at this restaurant is among the best in St. Louis, making it a standout dish on their menu. From the moment we stepped inside, the level of service was truly remarkable. A lovely lady greeted us with a big smile, instantly setting a warm and welcoming tone for our visit. Throughout the evening, a courteous gentleman served us with professionalism and attentiveness. His anticipation of our needs made for a smooth and satisfying dining experience. Whether you're planning a special night out or a family dinner (we brought our 4-year-old girl), this restaurant's inviting atmosphere and exceptional service make it an ideal choice. I wholeheartedly recommend giving it a try!

I love this restaurant! The food is high quality and delicious. I never have a single thing to complain about. The desserts are always creative and unlike anything I can find anywhere else. The service is impeccable and the atmosphere is perfect for a nice dinner.

Took my wife here for our 14 year anniversary, first time here. I wanted to surprise my wife with a bouquet on the table as we arrived and the granted my wish. Dinner was impeccable, you can tell they work so hard to put things together the layers of flavors, textures, aromatics, and presentation were on point every time. Our server Nikki was attentive, polite and patient. We enjoyed every bit of our dinner outing. We will be coming back for sure.

If you’re looking for a dinner spot that hits that perfect balance between old-school charm and modern culinary craft, Sidney Street Cafe is your place. We rolled in on a Wednesday night — it was surprisingly packed for midweek — but we were lucky enough to snag a table without a reservation. Right off the bat, the service stood out: warm, attentive, and on point the whole evening. We kicked things off with a round of cocktails — the Benton Park and a Barrel Aged Manhattan. Both were incredibly well-balanced and clearly crafted with care. Now let’s talk food. For appetizers, we went all in: beef tartare, veal dumplings, and lobster turnovers. Each one brought its own flavor game — rich, tender, and absolutely crave-worthy. Entrées came with soup or salad — we all opted for soup, and let me tell you, it wasn’t just a side dish. It was part of the experience. Deep, flavorful, and comforting. For mains, we had the tuna, scallops, and the showstopper: lamb Wellington. The execution and plating? Spot on. Everything was cooked perfectly and bursting with flavor. We wrapped it all up with a decadent cheesecake that walked the line between rich and airy like a pro. The vibe? Think exposed brick, dark wood, dim lights — it’s got that “classic St. Louis cool” without trying too hard. The bar’s a gem too — fully stocked and clearly curated. We ended the night with a pour of Van Winkle 12 Year — smooth, buttery, and the perfect cap to an incredible meal. Sidney Street Cafe is one of those rare spots that feels both upscale and totally welcoming. Highly recommend.

Without a doubt, one of the best restaurants in St. Louis. The atmosphere is pleasant, and the menu is always excellent. The starters are very good—I'm a fan of the tartare and lobster turnover! The pastas are always delicious. This last time, the absolute highlight was the pumpkin cheesecake dessert.

We dined on a relaxing Thursday evening at Sidney Street Cafe for my girlfriend’s birthday. The ambience was so warm and relaxing, incredible service staff including our wonderful and knowledgeable server Mika, and the food was so good. My girlfriend’s tenderloin was unbelievably tender and literally melted in your mouth. We both agreed it was one of the best steaks either of us had enjoyed in a very long time. This is coming from a fine dining waiter and a former 2-star Michelin chef de partie. 6/5 stars !

They try to make every occasion a celebration, and Jason was truly wonderful and funny, helping to make our early celebration of my partner's birthday very special. The food is beyond compare, and we don't normally go often to places this expensive, but the attention to detail, the plating, and the amazing flavors are still stuck in my head. It was all paired with an excellent bottle of wine, and we got a free half dessert to share at the end for her birthday month!! Absolutely the finest in St. Louis and only one or two others we've tried have come close.

I had the pleasure of dining at Sidney Street Cafe for a business dinner, and it was an unforgettable experience. The food and service were excellent, with the entrees and starters truly standing out. Having visited many restaurants, I found the unique menu here to be remarkable, creating lasting memories. I wholeheartedly recommend it for any family event or a romantic date. A wise teammate from St. Louis originally recommended this gem to us, and I'm grateful for that.

Truly the best dining experience I've had in a long time. My boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary at Sidney Street Cafe and were beyond impressed by the astounding service and delectable food. A special shoutout to our waitress, Alyssa, for making our anniversary one to remember! When we first entered, we noticed that the ambiance is quite romantic, complimented by the dim lighting and minimal noise. We had made reservations in advance and were seated quickly. We started with the lobster turnovers which were crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside and had a small kick of spice that was much appreciated. The starter plate and the complementary beignets had us hopeful that the next course would not disappoint. We ordered two pasta dishes, the cavatelli and the malfadine per our waitress' recommendations. The pasta texture of the cavatelli was pillowy soft and the sauce was light and fresh. The malfadine was stronger in flavor; the duck sausage added a strong kick but was nicely accompanied by the acidity of the lemon. We also added a side of creamed brussel sprouts, which we felt was alright since we expected it to be creamy instead of a liquid consistency, but it did not steer away from the entrees themselves. The true driving force of this five star rating was the impeccable service. Alyssa was heartwarming, personable, and seemed genuine in wanting to make this special occasion unforgettable. She had brought over a complimentary dessert-- dark chocolate turtle brownie with vanilla ice cream on the side. It was the perfect ending to an incredible night. I would highly recommend Sidney Street Cafe if you love great service and an even greater dinner!

Fabulous!!! Impeccable service and outstanding food/drinks!! A friend and I made dinner reservations here for a Friday evening dinner. Everything was wonderful. Delicious cocktails. Our meal was excellent. Our server was amazing! This restaurant gets it! What I mean by that is the timing of everything from first cocktail to when your presented with appetizer menu to eventually the full menu, you are not rushed but you aren't ignored. The servers keep an eye on the tables and come over at the appropriate moments. And each item we got was better and better. The salad, the bread, steak, and you must get dessert (drinks and food!).

Tried this place for the first time withy husband tonight. I made sure to make a reservation since it was a Saturday! Parking was a little difficult but def doable. We went inside and were greater and seated very quickly! The atmosphere is nice and the volume in this place def allowed for conversation. Server was friendly, got our drinks right away! Order the Benton Park for my first drink and a double barrel Manhattan for my second! I really enjoyed my Manhattan. It was smooth! For dinner, we order the lobster turnovers for appetizer, server said they come in 3s but offered us to add a forth, which was soo helpful! They were delicious, warm and flaky! The bread basket was also really fresh and soft! For main course, I ordered the beef tenderloin with wasabi sauce. Meat was tender and cooked perfectly! Soo tasty and flavorful! Husband got his with lobster sauce and was delighted with his meal too! Main courses also came with a house salad and that too was delicious! Would def come back again! Enjoyed the whole experience, just sad I hadn't tried it before!

Sídney Street is our go-to for celebrations. It's a great environment where you can either dress up or down and never feel out of place. The service is top notch with the waiters being super attentive. Make sure to make a reservation because usually this place is packed and street parking is usually available. Would highly recommend you start your meal with the lobster turnovers and cesar salad. We tried all three types of the beef tenderloins and my favorite was au poivre- think peppercorn encrusted tenderloin with seasonal veggies and a lil mashed potatoes. I love this place!

It's always a pleasure to visit Sidney Street Cafe. We always sit at the bar. Spencer is one of the best bartenders ever.

I have heard wonderful things about Sidney Street Cafe for as long as I've been in STL. I finally made it there last night, and was blown away. The space is so intimate without being too crowded. I was greeted promptly by my server, and was able to place a drink order. I got a dirty martini which was made exactly as ordered (with non blue cheese stuffed olives). I asked our server what the most popular menu items were, and his recommendations were on point. We ordered the lobster turnovers which tasted so rich and creamy. We split the beef tenderloin with wasabi butter. This was the best steak either of us have had in STL. The salad that came with it was lovely. We also ordered a side of the fettuccini which was flavorful and savory. I can't wait to go back!

Food, ambiance, and service are all great! Would definitely recommend checking this place out.

Sidney Street Cafe has been on my "try it" list for years. So glad I finally made it--here's why: Lobster turnovers--PERFECTION! Flaky pastry and seafood with a delectable sauce over the top. I had the grouper with clams mussels and bok choy in pork broth. Great portion and perfectly cooked and seasoned. Wines by the bottle are affordable--enjoyed a delicious Cabernet for $45. Dessert for me was a cannoli with banana ice cream and nuts. Service was attentive and helpful and the vibe is busy but not loud. I highly recommend giving Sidney Street a try--but make a reservation first!

Always a favorite to visit when I'm in town! Highly recommend this spot for a date night or girls night out. The food is amazing and you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The lobster turnovers are my fav!!

Couples Date Night. The vibe was nice and intimate and the service was good. Most importantly the food.... Apps: The Veal Dumpling (good but an acquired taste), Ribs ( good flavor and sticky), and the Lobster Turnover (the best in overall flavor, presentation) Entrees: Ribeye (tender and flavorful) and Rigatoni (delicious smokey flavor and seasoned to perfection) Only downside.... The salad. We order the caesar (warm and wilted) defiantly not happy about this especially bc it's a $5 up charge for it.

I was there about a month ago for an anniversary celebration. We had great food. Great service. It was such a wonderful evening. We were treated like royalty.

Affordable fine dining with creative, rotating menu, professional staff, and beautiful atmosphere. I've been to Sidney Street at least four times over the past two years and have enjoyed every meal. Menu staples such as the lobster turnovers (used to be four, now only three for same price) are a welcome introduction to the flavors the culinary artists create. It is difficult to nail down recommendations for main course as the menu varies from visit to visit, however, regulars will note a subtle Korean flair amongst the dining options. NOTE: Do not be upset with the portion sizes. Each dish is very rich with deep flavor profiles. An appetizer + main dish with side and I leave full! I could not agree more with Yelper, Suzanne D. Sidney Street Cafe has it all!

From the mix and match appetizer options, the tried and true Wasabi Steak, to hidden gems like the Short Rib & Fried Rice combo... an absolute winner. The ambiance is classic, yet not pretentious. Urban, but far from gentrified. It's simply on point. Family friendly IF your kids pallet is more adventurous than brown fried things. Probably best if attended with other diners, not in a hurry, that share forks!!!

We have been wanting to come to Sydney street for a long time and it finally became a reality. We had a party of 6 under my name and as soon as I walked in I was greeted by first and last name. The ambiance gives off a historic feel to it. The service was phenomenal and had everything memorized when it came to specials and anything on the menu. Our waiter suggested we all split the Lobster Turnover and ShuMai which was definitely the right call. The Cesar salad had some of the best croutons I've had along with a dressing that was not over powering, but just right. I ordered the Korean fried quail and it was packed with flavor. It was crispy, but not too crispy and I was not expecting the whole bird! My wife ordered their Pistachio Ravioli and she loved it. Great espresso martinis as well! We will definitely be back!

Ultimate Sophistication. I love going in blind to a place new to me with no idea what to expect. We decided to make a reservation last minute on Saturday morning, so the only openings were after 8:30, I'd recommend making a reservation if you prefer to eat earlier...the service was amazing and I thought it had a great ambiance fitting to the Benton Park area. Our server thoroughly explained every option to us and was able to provide us with recommendations or alternate options. The scallops were cooked perfectly and I thought the cavatelli stayed hot incredibly long. Overall the food was great! Last minute we decided to get dessert, the banana foster cheesecake was to die for. There were many great dessert choices, it was hard to choose one! Street parking, took us a couple rounds around the block to find a spot on a Saturday night, but not too bad!

The bartender Spencer is a machine. What a great guy and a superb bartender. I would definitely vote him for "Bartender of the Year" for sure.

Sidney Street Cafe is everything that dining should be. From the moment you walk in, you are surrounded by the feeling that you've entered, a cozy, elegant, neighborhood spot with elevated food and service. Beard Award winner Kevin Nashan continues to deliver with outstanding food and superior service. A very meat heavy menu does have pasta, seafood, and vegetarian options so that everyone can enjoy. Last night's I feast it on the ribeye, with a side of collard greens. There if I was cooked to perfection, and the collards were amazing! Since we were celebrating my husband's birthday, we were treated to the chocolate caramel brownie with a scoop of ice cream--it was decadent. Service at Sidney Street is everything you expect from fine dining. Professional with staff who are friendly and outgoing without being obtrusive. Richard was very sweet in knowing all of the famous celebs who shared a birthday with my husband. Sidney Street has long been a favorite of mine, and I was so happy to enjoy it again last night.

Amazing service and great setup for a romantic dinner. Foods were tasty and cooked well, particularly maplewood smoked duck. The pork offering was ok, we may prefer to try halibut (top 3 of our waiter's recommendations) next time. The pecan brittle with vanilla bean ice cream was the best part of the dinner.

First time and can't wait to come back. Our server, Mary, was phenomenal, pleasant and so helpful with menu choices. Lobster turnovers were really good but the main courses were absolutely delicious. Beef tenderloin (medium rare) and the halibut were so good!!

We decided last minute to try and grab a table for a Saturday night dinner. We decided to sit at the end of the bar and I am so glad we did!! We had amazing service from the bartender. He was always attentive and very quick! The food was delicious as ever! We ordered the crudo of the night, veal dumplings, mushroom risotto, the duck! We have eaten her several times and are always delighted with the food and the service!

Wow! Excellent service from our server Leslie. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and we could tell she loves the restaurant. It was our first time here. The restaurant is quite dark but enough light to read the menu and see your food. I'm not sure if there is an official dress code but it's not a casual place. We ordered the Mushroom Risotto for our appetizer and we wanted the lick the bowl! It was so rich and creamy. The mushrooms were hearty and tender. My favorite thing was probably the warm fried Beignets... oh my goodness. We were happy it was only 4 because we would've eaten all of them. Our entrees came with either soup or salad. I got the French Onion soup and my boyfriend got the Caesar Salad instead of the regular salad for an up charge. Both the soup and salad were great. I ordered the Polenta entree and was fantastic and flavors were excellent. The mushrooms were again cooked to perfection. The Creamed Brussels Sprouts were nice also. I liked that they weren't fried. I love Brussels but most restaurants are really only frying them these days. My boyfriend loved his Beef Tenderloin with the wasabi sauce (Leslie recommended the wasabi). He said it was cooked perfectly. I think he got it medium rare. We normally don't get dessert but we had a gift card! The Dark Chocolate Turtle Brownie was incredible. So rich and warm with pecans and ice cream. This was one of the best restaurant meals I've had. I wish we could afford it more often. Highly recommend!!

Came here for a work dinner and had an overall decent experience. Our waitress was wonderful and that always makes the experience better. We got the veal dumplings and lobster turnovers for the entree. The veal dumplings were absolutely delicious! 10/10 would recommend these. I thought the lobster turnovers were average, a bit too crispy and not enough filling in my opinion. I tried the crispy pork belly for my entree and it was good but a bit too fatty to finish the whole thing (I guess it is pork belly). I would probably opt for the ribeye next time I go in.

The pictures don't do it justice. The food is phenomenal. We had the lobster turnover and veal dumplings to start. The lobster was rich in a spanakopita esque layering that was pallet cleansing. The veal dumplings were in a delicious soy sauce that ripened the taste buds. The duck was tender and juicy with elegant sauces. The service was well researched, kind, and quick. The ambience was perfect for an intimate date with a long time partner or a budding romance. We will be going back.

Sooo disappointing! This is known to be such a great place but it recently soured an otherwise nice birthday. When you pay $40-$70/ plate, you're paying for culinary art & years perfecting the chef's craft. What we got was a mess. 2 stuffed chicken dinners were just over dry, unseasoned lumps of chicken breast (btw "stuffed", doesn't mean stuffed with something wonderful, its just stuffed with more dry chicken) on a plate of only a few small pieces of vegetable which were so overcooked that they were indistinguishable from one another, all overpowered by a sauce that the server said she knew had way too much tarragon (so why did you let it reach the table?). The Ribeye was also unseasoned, unseared, so flavorless, & was the least tender ribeye any of us have ever had, though its sauce was fair. The pasta arrived cold and had to be sent back as soon as it arrived & my duck was also unseasoned on a mostly umpty plate with 2 tiny morels (which I've been waiting years for) which were mostly just salt. When we took this up with the server, she said she'd address it with the kitchen. They decided, on a $335 bill, that a cannoli (which btw, was a waffle cone casing) should suffice. In fairness, the 2 hors d'oeuvres were fantastic & people rarely ever post when they do well. Our guess was that the weekend chefs take Wed's off. Our suggestion, don't charge All-Start kitchen prices for your backup staff's work. The next day, the birthday girl went to T-Roadhouse for a proper ribeye, which made it all right again...just a day late. Get better Sidney Street, StL needs you.

We had a reservation on a Saturday night. The ambiance is really intimate and nice. The lights were maybe a bit too dark for me but it wasn't too bad. The service was all friendly and attentive. The food was amazing! My favorites were the veal dumplings, garganelli pasta, and the bread pudding. I could eat all of those over and over again! This restaurant has a great reputation for a reason! It was definitely worth the money!

This is the best hidden gem in stl for affordable fine dining! The food is always amazing! We always start with the lobster turnovers, beef tartare which is always consistent with the taste and flavor,simply delicious. The halibut,scallops and ribeyes are mouthwatering and flavorful. There are always different desserts which are very unique, and plated so beautiful you may just want to take pics of it. The martinis are always delicious. The service is always great, they make you feel like you're home. The ambiance is always nice. We have never had a bad table. This is our go to place when we want to celebrate anything or take our out of town guests to a fabulous restaurant which will always have consistent service, food and ambiance.

I used to believe this was the best restaurant in St. Louis. The service and atmosphere are still excellent and there are still a few things on the menu worth trying. That being said, they have gone through some menu changes in the last few months that have ruined it for me. Gone is the signature beef cheek. Also gone is their excellent salmon dish. Other changes include a rotating pork selection which can either be excellent or blah on any given night. The veal dumplings and lobster turnovers are great and so is the steak (but a bit costly). So ive lowered my rating from a 5 to a 3 star based solely on atmosphere and service. We've gone from being regulars to frequenting another place. There's no sense going back since our favorite dishes are gone.

Went to Sidney Street Cafe on a Wednesday evening to celebrate my significant others birthday. We easily found street parking near the restaurant and our table was ready when we walked in at the time of our reservation. Once seated, we were quickly greeted by our server who went over the appetizer menu and allowed us to explore the food and drink menus. Inside, the restaurant was dimly lit and the tables were spaced nicely. This allowed us to converse without feeling like other patrons were on top of us. For cocktails I ordered the Benton park and my girlfriend ordered the aperol spritz. For appetizers we ordered some of Sidney Street Cafe's specialties: the Veal Dumplings and the Lobster Turnovers. We were fans of the flaky lobster turnovers and would order those again but we're not wowed by the veal dumplings although the sauce was delicious. For our entrees I ordered the beef cheek and my girlfriend ordered the Beef Tenderloin and added the Bernaise with Lobster. Prior to the entrees coming out our server brought out house salads and a sweet bread and butter. We really enjoyed our salads and how they were dressed. The beef cheek was tender and flavorful but my girlfriend didn't love her tenderloin. One highlight of our visit to Sidney street was the staff. The waiter and other staff were attentive and ensured our drinks were always full and plates and silverware were cleared quickly. At the end of the meal our waiter brought out a complementary White Chocolate Turtle Blondie with a birthday candle which was a great end to our meal. Other yelpers had mentioned the smaller portion sizes which is true, but when you include appetizers, salads, rolls, & and entrees both of us left satisfied.

Dinner here was such a treat! We had reservations at around 6 on a Friday and when we arrived, the place wasn't super busy yet. We were seated in the main dining area at a sizable table which I highly appreciate! Our waitress came over soon after and took our drink orders. I had wine, my husband had a local brew. We then started with the lobster turnover for appetizers. It was so delicious. My husband is not a fan of lobster so I ended up eating most of it which was fine by me. For my main course, I ordered the 8 oz ribeye a la carte and added a creamed green peas on the side. The peas were not sweet peas, by the way, but rather snow peas. I was surprised but it tasted good either way. My ribeye was prepared as ordered but they did slice it beforehand. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I like to cut my own meat at the table. My husband had the salmon and it came with leaks. He let me have a taste of the leak and it was so good! I've never had roasted and so beautifully seasoned before. They should add it to their list of sides. For my dessert, I ordered the flourless chocolate tart. Not only was the presentation so adorable, it also tasted amazing. I ate most of it but the honeycomb. I was afraid the honeycomb would break my teeth as my husband commented on how chewy they were and how they stuck to his teeth. Needless to say, I had a fantastic dinner here and hope to return very soon.

The food, the service, the ambiance was all phenomenal! Great date night place! The scallops were a must

Delicious fusion food. We loved the appetizer menu. Sampled the ribs, lobster turnover, and veal dumplings. All spectacular in their own unique way. For entrees we had a pasta and the beef tenderloin Oscar style. Both phenomenal!

I had a good experience overall here. The service was great, all the staff was very friendly. The veal dumplings were amazing. The only downside is that a lot of the meals are a la carte so you have to add an additional side if you want more than the entree (plus a side soup/salad).

Walked in on a Saturday night and had no problem finding a spot at the bar for four of us. Bartenders were really friendly and the ambiance is upscale but calming! Doesn't feel like a very fancy restaurant where you need to be buttoned up at all times. We saw people in various styles of dress and didn't feel out of place in the slightest. The drinks are very good but the food is truly what takes the spotlight here. Our bartender gave us the rundown of what the most popular appetizers/dishes were and we had the hardest time choosing just a few to try. Here's where we landed: - Veal Dumplings - Usually I get sad during the rare times I eat veal because of that one South Park episode with the baby animals but it was hard to focus on that this time because of how darn tasty these dumplings were. Tender, incredibly flavorful, and the sauce on top was perfectly savory. A good portion for 2 people or 3 if everyone just wants a bit! - Beef Tartare - Under the flaky pastry on top was an incredible little dish. Highly recommend if you're feeling adventurous for a pre-dinner snack! - Roasted Broccoli - Not a huge portion but perfect for one person's dinner! The risotto hits the spot and if you're a big fan of broccoli, you'll have a great time with this. - Salmon - This is some of the best salmon I've ever had in a restaurant. Usually you're looking at the same dried filet with a tired sauce but not here - the top is crisped so perfectly that it feels like a whole treat itself. The sauce with the roe is DELICIOUS and the fish itself was cooked perfectly. - Burger - Had some of my husband's dinner and this was a very good burger! Lots of creamy goodness on it - basically a Big Mac on absolutely crack. Delicious! - Cavatelli - Herby, savory, and amazing. This was my second choice for an entree and I was very happy with the salmon but also very envious of this pasta. A pretty filling portion! Overall a great experience! We'll be back for sure.

Wonderful large family dinner... we had 10 people and had a reservation. The table was prepared for our arrival and the service was ready to go... I appreciated that they manager walked around the restaurant all night looking for anyone that needed anything, etc. We ordered Multiple appetizers and all were wonderful... We ordered: Lobster turnover with tomato brandy reduction AWESOME! (ordered 1 but needed 2 orders) Ribs - everyone loved them Veal dumplings - very tasty Highly recommend!

Can't ever really go wrong with Sidney Street Cafe. Everything is always good and the service is attentive.

Sidney Street Cafe is one of the best restaurants in St Louis. From the dark, sexy dining room to the Street Cafe exceptional service and incredible food. Sidney Street Benton Park is perfect for any occasion! Be sure to make a reservation online.. and once you get there order all the Lobster Turnovers for yourself

Just wow! Everything about Sidney Street is superb! The food, the atmosphere, the service...all phenomenal. Sidney Street is a cozy restaurant that you could spend a night dressing up and going out or come in jeans and a sweater. Definitely make reservations or go early when they open. This was our first visit to Sidney Street, and our waiter, Richard, made sure we were well equipped to order. He even customized our appetizers so we could try the veal dumplings and the lobster turnovers without ordering 2 full appetizers. He explained everything efficiently and made sure we knew of all the options! Plus he just had a fabulous attitude! The food is cooked to perfection! You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu!

The ambiance and service were excellent. Leslie was well versed in the menu beyond just the words written and provided us with descriptions that changed our order for the better. We enjoyed: crudo with rhubarb, avocado and pistachio, the rib appetizer with barbacoa flavoring, the cavatelli, the loup de mer, cannoli and every sorbet. Overall, each course had extensive depth and wasn't your regular set of French, Italian or even Asian. It was inspired. Plus the berry gazpacho was a bit boggling. It was everything described and very adventurous. Will be back.

One time was our favorite restaurant. Been patron for over 25 years but have to say on NYE it was awful. Could not cut or chew beef tenderloin. Flavors and presentation were mediocre for cost of $125 pp. steadily on down turn for years but has hit the gutter.

We loved having dinner there! It was a beautiful spot to celebrate our engagement - food and drinks were delicious! And they were accommodating with my allergies.

One of my favorite places in STL. Attentive and informational staff. Quiet and romantic atmosphere. Food quality is consistently top notch.

Order: Burger, french onion soup, Caesar salad Pros: the food was AMAZING for the most part. Loved the ambiance of the cafe and the waiter was amazing & patient (there was 7 of us). Listen the beignet's was off the chain (ha ha ha)! I had like 4 of them suckas with the homey butter. That burger was amazing damn! It needed nothing added to it! Cons: french onion soup was ok and not what I was accustomed to. I like croutons and provolone on top of my soup. The flavor and base of the French onion tasted like wine or something. I ate it but wasnt a huge huge fan.

This was some of the best food we have had in St Louis. Seriously! Everything was tasty we loved the veal dumplings, the tomato salad, the rib eye, and potato wedges with some sort of aioli. And the French toast cheesecake for dessert was decadent. I highly recommend the Sidney street cafe and we will definitely be back!

Sidney Street Cafe offered our group an elegant and professional celebratory dinner! We were presented with fantastic food and service. When I go back, I will be ordering lobster ravioli and veal dumplings again

Great food, cool atmosphere, and nice people. The pricing for what you receive is such a value, and they should take pride in how their business is ran.

The food was pretty good! The Salmon skin was perfectly crispy and the lobster turnovers (not pictured) were tasty. The menu was pretty standard, with mostly items found on a typical "New American" style or "French inspired" restaurant, but the items were made pretty well.

My husband and I were new to this restaurant and had reservations for Valentine's Eve. We have heard so many compliments from friends and were excited to dine here. The service was friendly, informative and professional. Ambiance was pleasant, however my husband and I were seated at a tiny table in a narrow pathway where wait staff were constantly moving past serving clients or bussing tables. All of this activity in close proximity to our table did not make for a relaxing dining experience. Unfortunately I ordered the duck. All three pieces were tough with the larger piece being completely inedible due to the oversight to remove a tough tendon which my knife would not even cut. The chef apologized and removed the cost from our bill. Fair enough but a classier move on his part would have been to offer to make small plate of a different dish, one of the pastas would have been quick, at no charge. I left hungry and disappointed. With such a dynamic Saint Louis restaurant scene, II'll choose to eat somewhere else in the future.

My wife and I absolutely LOVED this place! My steak was perfect, the service was excellent, and the restaurant was gorgeous. The restaurant is unassuming from the outside but as soon as you walk in you can already smell how good the food is going to be. This was the crown jewel of our date night experience last year.

Lobster turnovers were fishy but steak soup delicious! The snapper was also fishy and overcooked! So dry it was difficult to swallow! Rolls always good! We were treated to an Anniversary brownie! Eli cab went great!

I enjoyed a lovely evening at Sidney street cafe. The food was yummy, the service was excellent and the ambience was great as well. We will certainly go back
