Description

The end of 2003 marked a passage that on the restaurant scene mattered far more than the start of another new year: Sidney Street switched hands. Husband and wife Kevin and Mina Nashan now handle the back and front of house, respectively, and co-own the handsome, Old World-style restaurant. Virtually all the signature dishes remain -- the sharp steak wasabi, the luscious filet béarnaise -- while new ones suggest that devout patrons have nothing to fear. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

  • 2010 | Best Local Chef

    When more than a dozen St. Louis chefs traveled to Swiss Meat & Sausage Co. in Hermann to watch the butchering of a Mangalitsa pig -- a prized breed originally from Hungary -- Kevin Nashan watched raptly as the master butchers took apart the hog and then was the first volunteer to attempt one of the unfamiliar cuts. His eagerness won't surprise fans of Nashan's work at Sidney Street Café. His passion for good food is evident in every dish, whether something new crafted... More »

  • 2009 | Best Never Went

    For nearly a quarter of a century, Sidney Street Café has been the crown jewel of Benton Park and among the city's most popular restaurants, one of the first spots discussed when dinner isn't merely dinner but a Special Occasion. Even more remarkable is the fact that the restaurant continues not merely to prosper -- it remains one of the toughest reservations in St. Louis -- but to innovate. Chef Kevin Nashan and his wife, Mina, bought Sidney Street from long-time owner Tom... More »

  • 2004 | Best New Chef

    Kevin Nashan probably doesn't want to be mentioned here. Most likely he's fine with people not knowing that he's the new head chef at Sidney Street Café. As of December 2003, Kevin co-owns the wildly popular, twenty-year-old fine-dining landmark along with his wife, Mina and his brother, Chris -- but you won't find that information mentioned on the restaurant's Web site, or written up in any press release, or, God forbid, blared across some cheesy banner hanging from the restaurant's...

  • 2002 | Best Dinner Rolls

    St. Louis is home to a number of good breadmakers: Companion, Black Bear and, of course, the ubiquitous St. Louis Bread Company. But Sidney Street Café, which bakes its own, has dipped back into St. Louis' French history with the beignet. A favorite in the coffee shops of New Orleans, beignets are lumps of deep-fried dough, typically dusted with powdered sugar and eaten while piping hot. Sidney Street serves baskets of these steaming-hot beignets, but not as a sweet dessert item --... More »

  • 2001 | Best Appetizer

    Of all the great appetizers to be appetized in the vicinity, the mushroom strudel at Sidney Street Café floats in a high stratum. A flaky phyllo crust encloses a melange of porcini, shiitake and oyster mushrooms; Gouda and Swiss cheeses; shallots reduced with pinot noir; and herbs and spices. The strudel, which looks like little blintzes, is coated with a sauce of more wine, herbs and spices. Though the appetizer is vegetarian, the reduced wines and other ingredients give it a rich...
