  • A place in Pittsburgh that serves dinner till 1 am? ....I die!!! Ever since i read the New york times article that talked about farm to table dining and highlighted the chef and owner of this restaurant i knew i had to check it out. Everything this chef touches seems to turn into gold ( he had something to do with the restaurant Yo Rita on the s side) . Well last night i finally got to scratch that itch. First of all let me say that getting a reservation here during the weekend is not easy my Bf and I had attempted a while back but we were unsuccesful. So we tried a slow weekday (wednesday) and got a 9pm reservation( We prefer later dinners). The restaurant is easy to find and there is a parking lot behind it. The construction is very modern, very open with high ceilings, good lighting and an open kitchen( fully stocked with cute sous chefs). The lower level consists of community seating overlooking the kitchen- long tables and benches (reminds me of restaurants in Japan). They also have an upper level with individual tables. The hostess was very sweet and welcoming we had reserved a table upstairs. As we were escorted to our table we walked infront of the kitchen and the chef/owner said hi and smiled.... The hostess informed us that they didnt do a printed menu but the menu for the night was written on the chalkboards on the wall. One downstairs as well as right behind our table. The menu is very simple, lots of options for vegetarians and Carnivores. All local ingredients and not fussy. They also had a great list of cocktails and local wine. For our appetizers we ordered the tofu lettuce wraps (can come with lamb) and the tomato miso chili. I got a glass of the Bethel park Pino gris and my Bf ordered some beer. Our waitress was very attentive and helpful she was very familiar with the menu and she even recommended some entrees. The appetizers were AMAZING!!!!! Lettuce wraps had soo much flavour every bite hid a surprise. I also loved the soup it had a little kick to it and wasnt too heavy. My bf and I almost fought over the last bite. For our entrees we went all vegetarian I got the Tofu dish with vegan dashi and udon and my Bf got the eggplant with soy protein. The tofu was delicious again so many delicious vegetables, lots of flavour and just the right kick. The eggplant reminded me of moussaka it had some unique flavours. I thought it could have been more spicy. It was a bit light not as filling as the tofu dish was but still mega delicious - Making delicious vegetarian food is difficult and very few restaurants can do this but my taste buds were blown. we ended the night with the white chocolate custard with honey and blood orange. The white chocolate custard was delish but i wasnt a fan of the goat cheese ice cream...i think cheese on deserts is the most disgusting thing ever. That being said i still loved the desert i could have easily had a second plate. Speaking of plates the utensils at this place are really cool very futuristic. I loved it. I knocked off one star because the eggplant didnt quite meet my expectations also having one more vegetarian entree option could have been greatly appreciated. The service here was amazing our waitress was great, filled our water glasses regularly and very attentive. Its also very casual...no need to whip out the tie and heels unless you want to.... jeans will do. Also to be mentioned they played some amazing music ( band of Horses, Lykke Li, Ray Lamontage) This place is simply effortlessly cool. Our bill came to $68 (sans tip). I couldn't believe how reasonable it was considering how amazing the food and the experience was. I def will be going back i cant begin to imagine how amazing those Lettuce wraps are after a night of drinking ( Guys remember they'r open till 1 am!) .....a drunk vegetarian's dream come true !!!
