Sidney's

This Sidney is on the second floor of the galleria, but the entrance is built like a restaurant on the street of Italy. As you walk into Sidney you can see straight into the kitchen and see the chiefs performing their arts. The interior wall is like frescos with very unique wall lamps. In the middle of the restaurant is a small round fireplace, and on the other side is a large fish tank fill with corals and tropical fishes. Everything on the menu is simply out of this world, they also changed they menu very often and have chiefs special, and you got to try the deserts. more

We used to visit this simple homey eatery on 22nd and Hennepin Ave south but they recently closed that location and now, well we'll see, a person must drive to the outer reaches and fight for parking endure long-lines and it all seems so much less inviting that Sunday Brunch and a walk around Lake of the Isles. Sidney's on Hennepin assembled basic quality ingredients and presented it cooked without much added or fan-faire. Roasted Chicken Proviencial with carrots and potatoes was a solid decent meal for under $10. Gourmet pizza's on a roasted thin crust with exotic toppings, big salads, pasta bowls, good deserts and well-made breaksfasts on the weekends made Sidney's a solid performer for a group with a variety of tastes and desires in a homey wood cabin environment. I could say, all for not, as I might never go there again, however I will keep it in mind if I am ever standed outside the city limits to the south. Too many damned Republcans out there for my taste! more
