With maple floors, cozy brick walls, and an abundance of golden candlelight, warmth and ambience seems to be the main focus at the Sidney Street Café. Located in a hundred-year-old storefront building in Benton Park, the Sidney Street Café contains enough friendliness and sophistication to charm even the most finicky dates.

Try the Santa Fe shrimp or Pueblo ravioli, and don’t hesitate to eat your fill of the accompanying beignets (soft, sweet yeast buns). Follow up with a few drinks at the antique bar and cap your date off as you gaze through the skylight in the atrium for an effortlessly magical evening.
