| - Happy we made the drive to check out Superior Motors! Chris and I first heard about this restaurant on Anthony Bourdain's "Parts Unknown" when they featured Pittsburgh. We both have never heard about and have been curious ever since. When restaurant week approached, we decided this would be the perfect place to try- and we are glad that we did!
As all the other reviewers said, the atmosphere is pretty cool at Superior Motors. It's in Braddock which doesn't have a lot going on, and then all of a sudden there is a steel mill & a super trendy restaurant across the street. It's full of exposed brick and a very industrial feel. Chris made reservations a few days in advance but we still had to wait when we arrived. When I asked if we could wait at the bar, the hostess told me that there is no standing room at the bar but we could order a drink in the waiting area. We only ended up waiting about 15 minutes before we seated in the smaller area of the restaurant. I wish we were seated on the other side- there seemed to be more going on over there.
They only had 2 options for their restaurant week- a meat or vegetarian option. Before ordering, I started with a glass of wine & Chris got a beer and we also got the fried squid- delicious! We both ended up ordering the meat option off the menu. To start, we were served ocean tartar with trout. It came with seaweed to wrap the trout it- this was just OK- it's not something I would really ever order again. The next dish was a short rib (36 hours!!!) that was served with polenta, Brussels sprouts, and mushrooms. There was also a béarnaise sauce that was outstanding. The 36 hour short rib was the standout of our whole experience here! It was truly amazing. The last course was the sage cavetlli with butternut squash. This was pretty good & very heavy- I am glad we only got a small portion! Last, we HAD to end the night with a desert so we chose the chocolate desert that was a chocolate cake with espresso in the middle & ice cream. SO GOOD!!
Last but not least, the service was... meh. For as much money as we spent here (even on restaurant week!) we both wished for a little bit of a better experience. From other reviews, it seems like they were satisfied with their service- so I don't think this is a deal breaker. Overall- it's worth checking out for a unique dining experience. Be prepared to spend a little more $$ than expected!
