I came here for dinner and drinks with a friend about two months ago and I've been recommending it to just about everyone since. I have a sweet spot for places in town that are off-the-beaten-path and aren't so well known that everybody and their mothers go there. This is that place and definitely worth the trip to Carnegie.
The Bakn martini is smooth and balanced with a smoky after-taste and it seriously might be one of my favorite cocktails of all time. I'm a sucker for polenta so I had the slow-braised short ribs and thought it was good and an interesting dish but felt like my bowl was a little luke warm. For my next drink, the waitress recommended a bourbon and bacon pairing trio - three different types of bourbon and three different cuts and seasonings of bacon. Even without the fabulous Bakn martini, I would come back for this alone. We also tried two of the dessert cups (I honestly don't know how we even ended up with them) and I didn't love them, only because I was so in love with everything else.
South Hills and western suburbs kinfolk, get to Bakn if you haven't already.
