Cindy's Backstreet Kitchen |
|
Celebrating
its second vintage… Cindy Pawlcyn, James Beard award-winning cookbook author, Chef and Owner of Napa’s beloved Mustards Grill, and co-creator of many renowned Bay Area restaurants, has done it again! Cindy’s Backstreet Kitchen, located in charming downtown St. Helena in the Napa Valley, combines the sophistication of a dinner house with the flair of a jazz club to create the perfect upscale eatery and neighborhood hang-out. As with all of Pawlcyn’s endeavors, the food is delicious and heartfelt, the service is unpretentious and warm, and the atmosphere is festive and comfortable. In Pawlcyn’s words, this is “a local joint – hip, casual, not fussy. The food we serve is from our hearts, what we make at home and most like to cook.” The dishes, inspired by Northern California’s farms, orchards and ocean, are comforting and familiar but with Cindy’s unique twists. The menu reflects her and Executive Chef Pablo Jacinto’s wide ranging culinary experience and passions, with rustic and fun variations of home inspired cooking. |

The
cool zinc bar, with its warm wood floors and cozy banquettes, serves up
classic and hip house cocktails alike. It is the perfect place to power-lunch with colleagues, unwind with friends or enjoy coffee and dessert after a movie at the nearby Cameo. The wine list features a wide variety of food-friendly wines, mostly from the Napa Valley but also reflective of Cindy’s global tastes, available in both full and half bottles. Special wine and food events take place each month including wine and food themes, such as “Real Men Drink White Wine!” and “We’ve Got Crabs!”; weekly celebrity winemaker appearances; and Cindy’s Supper Club, a special limited -seating, multi-course prix fixe meal personally prepared by Cindy and/or a guest chef. |
| “Similar Cal–New American comfort food”
given “the Napa touch” to chef-owner “Cindy Pawlcyn’s sister restaurant”
prompts patrons to dub her “re-created” “St. Helena hot spot” “Mustards
Grill North” – minus the “tourist glitz”; there’s “good cheer all around”
the “quaint” digs – “even the waiters seem to be having fun” – especially if
you join the “local wine crowd” “out on the garden patio.” - Zagat Survey
Whether you are enjoying dinner in the main
dining room, hosting a party amidst the rustic elegance of the upstairs loft
or meeting colleagues for drinks on the outside patio under our 100 year old
fig tree, Cindy’s Backstreet Kitchen
features a town and country ambiance that will draw you back again and
again! |
