Our server was very knowledgeable and passionate about the menu and presented us with the evening's appetizers on a chalkboard which we thought was quaint. The service was very thorough and professional. Our party of 4 ended up getting 2 appetizers: Lobster Turnovers and Veal Dumplings. The turnovers were wonderfully flaky and filled with something that reminded us of what a perfect crab rangoon would be. The veal dumplings were decadent; a good mixture of unctuous veal and pork with a sweet sauce and salsa to balance it out. Two of my colleagues ordered the salmon entree with the salad and they both enjoyed this dish. The third colleague almost ordered salmon but decided to change to the filet au poivre to do something new. For myself, I ordered the american wagyu coulotte with the ricotta, duck, maitake, soubise ravioli. The steak was perfectly cooked to my liking and that perfect mix of tender and melt in your mouth. The ravioli was also presented very well and each bite was tender with a great balance between skin and filling. Having moved away from St Louis 5 years ago, I really wanted to come back to Sidney Street Cafe, and it did not disappoint. If you want a great ambience to share an amazing meal with friends, Sidney Street Cafe has my wholehearted endorsement.

This is the second time we've been to Truffles. The first time was over 20 years ago and it was not pleasant due to some rude staff. A polar opposite this time around. What a wonderful experience!! One of the best steaks I've ever had...and it's not even a steakhouse! Great char on the steak....sides were wonderful and the staff was top notch. It was very loud, as it was completely full...and the tables are very closer together. Just an FYI for some diners. Will definitely return to Truffles!!

We had such a great experience at Lazy Tiger! We started with the crab fritters, which were delicious, and had the salmon for our main course. Everything was really good. The ambience was beautiful and made the whole experience even better, but the service was definitely a standout. Our service was phenomenal from beginning to end. Great food, great atmosphere, and excellent service. We’ll definitely be back!

Enjoyed the food and service for lunch. Sat on the patio on a lovely day so the noise level was quiet. Very nice place.

Great stop before the Muny show on a Tuesday night. They were busy, but conscientious of the time it took to get our food and manager to explain came unprompted to explain. We will go again.

I love Cobalt Smoke and Sea. Every visit we have had good service, good food, good experience. Cocktails are great, vegetarian options are good (but I'd love a non pasta one sometime!), house salad was the best I've ever had maybe! This visit we took my parents who had never been before. They had the duck and the gnocchi carbonara. Both loved it and said they'll be back. My husband also had the duck and I had the pumpkin ravioli.
