Wanted to update after we had a fabulous time here last night!
Went here after seeing a Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder at the Benedum right around 10:15. I felt bad going to a restaurant so close to their closing time, but we didn't really feel like fast food and we love Butcher's offerings.
Our server Sara(h,?) was great! She never made us feel like we were infringing on her getting ready to go home and was really engaging and able to take the time to talk to us about our favorite dishes and even about some different apple pie recipes which was so fun!
We had the pig candy which is always delicious and luckily my husband only wanted a little bit so I got a great big portion! I ordered the chicken as I always do and my husband ordered one of the daily specials which was a duck and foie gras tortellini. I wish I could have tried this dish(but can't right now due to the little one), but the small looking portion was very rich and heavy and according to my husband absolutely delicious. The chicken was absolute perfection as always and I am convinced the best chicken dish in all of Pittsburgh.
Sara was nice enough to let us know when there was about 10 minutes left before the kitchen was closing and tempted us with dessert. We ended up with the salted caramel apple pie and cream cheese ice cream which absolutely blew everything else that we ate out of the water! I can't explain to you how good this dish was other than to say that as someone who constantly is working to perfect her own apple pie recipe that I am not sure mine could ever come close to the perfection that was this pie. It was absolutely delicious.
As always, I will be back!
