I came here for happy hour, but the vibe was actually pretty somber. The bartender was forgetful and seemed like she could care less about serving drinks. The first wine I ordered on the menu wasn't even in stock. It was an odd experience all around.
The one redeeming quality was the food - we had a hummus and veggie plate that was actually pretty good. Perhaps someone in the kitchen still has a clue? The rest of the evening we basically just drank our wine and tried to limit our interaction with the staff.
Dear Walnut - I used to love the Shadyside location, so please try to shoot for that level of quality when selecting your bartenders and building your menu.
