| - I absolutely love the atmosphere here. The bar is gorgeous, and the back room is intimate and lovely. Very relaxed but chic, with a cool vibe and killer cocktail menu. Though I am a hardcore fan of Bar Marco's cocktails, Tender is definitely a major contender in the Pittsburgh craft cocktail scene. The bartenders obviously know what they are doing and take pride in making sure that each cocktail is unique and delicious. The drink menu includes comments from the bartenders, which is awesome and gives more insight into the creation and enjoyment of each cocktail. I have loved every drink that I have had here!
Now, the food, while good, could definitely be better. The portions are small, as others have mentioned which doesn't bother me but might those who are looking for a more substantial meal. I will say though that the servers and kitchen staff are also very willing and helpful when dealing with my food allergies; the last time I went my food was prepared incorrectly and they immediately fixed the issue and took half off the dish on our bill. I had the pork, which was good but not amazing (I'm sure it would have been better with all of the toppings added that I had to eliminate!).
This is an amazing spot for a romantic date or a relaxed night out. The last time we were there, my boyfriend and I were amazed that the place was not very busy for a Friday night. This place should be hopping, and we hope that more people discover this wonder soon!....Or do we want to keep this gem to ourselves? :)
