| - You know a meal is bad when the bread is the highlight.
We went here for a date night. I love trying new off-the-beaten-path restaurants, which are so rare in the South Hills, so we were excited to try Slate Bistro.
The prices were expensive, which I am more than happy to pay for if the food is good.
That being said, I'm pretty sure I spent $24 on a Lean Cuisine entree.
The chicken was processed, thin, and tasteless and was swimming in a mixture of rice and generic sweet and sour sauce. My date got a $30 pork chop which was mostly fat. I didn't even know pork chops could be that fatty. Even the inner-most part was all fat. You get the idea. As well, his food was served with some type of home fries that were clearly frozen at one point, possibly made by Ore-Ida. As well, my date got a Fat Head's beer that they charged $7 for. At Fat Head's, the same beer is $4.
I really wanted to like this place, but it was just so comically bad, we couldn't do anything but laugh about it.
They change their menu monthly, so I feel like I should give them another chance, but I am certainly in no rush to do so.
