Winslow's Home
This restaurant has closed
Winslow's Home closed in October 2019. It will reopen under new ownership (Michael and Tara Gallina of Vicia) as Winslow's Table. Winslow’s Home debuts on the STL 100 a decade after Ann Sheehan Lipton opened her unique farm-to-table restaurant and general store in University City. The reason for taking a new look at it now? Last year, Winslow’s named Cassy Vires as executive chef, and she has invigorated the restaurant with the smart, soulful cooking that won her such acclaim at the late Home Wine Kitchen in the first half of this decade. Alongside such classic Winslow’s dishes as the braised-brisket sandwich, Vires has added a fried pickle-brined chicken thigh with smoked pimento cheese, pickles and hot honey on a buttermilk biscuit. She has also brought renewed attention to the oft-changing dinner menu. A mid-winter visit found a homey broccoli-cheddar soup and a lovely piece of seared trout enlivened with citrus and a beet puree.
Hours: 8 a.m.-3 p.m. Tuesday-Sunday (closed Monday)
