| - First experience at Butterjoint was exceptional! Was unaware you can order anything off of Legume's menu (sister restaurant attached to the left of Butterjoint) until our bartender handed us both menus. Startedwith the pierogies. They serve you four topped with caramelized onions and sour cream. Pierogies are made in-house and you can really tell. The dough was thick and the filling was rich and creamy with lumps of potatoes. They were mouthwatering! Excited to try them next time with an added side.
My friend built his own *grass-fed* burger and he too was blown away. Said it's the best burger he's had in Pittsburgh to date. Served with delicious French fries. I ordered the Grilled Escarole salad off of Legume's menu. It was on the smaller side but the flavor was remarkable, with house made croutons, pickled turnips, shaved parmesan, hold the bacon. So delicious, very excited to try more menu items in the future. The draft beer list was also seamless. So many options from local craft breweries including Full Pint, Spoonwood, Grist House, Draai Laag, Arsenal, etc. We were seated at the bar and admired the bar tenders brewing up some elaborate cocktails as well.
Restaurant is pretty small. When you walk through the doors the bar is adjacent to the left wall, with just a few tables around the perimeter. Ambience is really cozy, somewhat romantic. Cannot wait to get back and try some more items.
