Skip the bar; straight to dinner. My husband and I read this was to be one of the most romantic restaraunts in St. Louis, I did not find it romantic. However, the excellent service made up for it! We decided to have a cocktail at the bar before dinner and were treated like we didn't belong by the bartender. She talked down to us with the few words she did share. Fortunately, our server Suzanne (city search isn't letting me use her shortened name) made up for the horrible first impression. She had outstanding knowledge of the menu and treated us like we were regulars. She made an excellent reccommendation for the lobster turnovers! The Tuscan Sea Bass was outstanding as well! I would reccommend this restaraunt, but not if you're looking for an after dinner drink at the bar and the lack of personality behind it.

NOT romantic. Excellent food. First class service. Friendly service. NOT romantic. I went to this restaurant ONLY because it was billed as romantic. Not so. Not in any manner. No way. I have no idea who thinks that a table with a candle that was so smoky it had to be blown out immediatly, harsh lighting and no private tables could be considered romantic but I'm not one of them. If you are looking for exceptional food and great service and don't mind pricey, this is your place. If you are looking for romantic, keep on looking.

3RD times a charm!. Being a newbie to st.louis and not food lol. I needed a great place to entertain. a girlfriend mentioned this site so i checked it out and sidney street looked like the best place to entertain my client before closing.with all the great reviews how could they be wrong. WELL LET ME TELL YOU ! seabass overcooked, steak overcooked and what langostino was there may or may not have been you know !?server was great and can not be held resposible.and although mistakes happen its sad it had to be me at the time. after talking to my friend she convinced me to give it another shot and it was amazing!! she was right my bass, moist and delicious the reviews were right after all. My client and I returned only to be dissapointed yet again sorry sidney street but I won't be wasting my time or money on such inconsistant nonsense.

Beignets to melt in your mouth!!. This is the place to go if you want great service and excellent cuisine. We were surprised by the small size of the restaurant, and would definitely recommend reservations - especially on the weekend or for a group. The menu is imaginative and mouthwatering, the wait staff pleasant and engaging...as well as knowledgeable on pairing food with wines, etc. The hot from the oven beignets were an absolute dream, a MUST for any traveler or seasoned St Louisan alike. You will crave the food again and again...we talked about it all the way home!!

Romantic atmosphere, great for a date. The only drawback is having to pick your dinner from a chalkboard at your table, and remembering the description of each one. But the wait staff is always happy to repeat, from our experience. You will LOVE and always remember your trip here. Try the shrimp appetizer as well....you will not be disappointed!

Our new favorite!. My husband took me here for my birthday last night. The service was excellent, as well as the food. I had the sea bass. You must try it. It's the best I've ever had! My husbad had a filet stuffed with langastino's. It was wonderful. From appetizer to dessert, you won't be dissapointed!
