I WANTED to love it. But honestly did not. Pittsburgh is a rough market. And with all the competing new places...I don't know when/if I'll be back.
I went with a date to Pittsburgh Restaurant Week. I was really wary of this. I've never done Restaurant Week. I was worried that maybe they'd have something "off menu" to showcase the restaurant then if I came back some other time I wouldn't be able to find it. I confirmed that the selections were available and perused the menu just to see if something REALLY jumped out at me.
It didn't. That sounds negative, but I don't mean it to; the restaurant week menu looked good. I didn't see anything that said..."Try me I am way more amazing".
The waiter seemed knowledgeable, and was helpful and attentive. The ambience was...pretty, but not particularly memorable once you get past the statement-mural of moby dick launching over the bow of the Pequod (I assume that's the Pequod...*insert 30 minute google search for diagrams of Nantucket whaling vessels*...it's probably the Pequod), the only truly decoratively arresting feature would be a series of thick parallel ropes festooning the length of the ceiling. I did like that the restaurant was two levels, and the stairway was eye-catching.
I don't recall the drink menu. Does that mean it's not memorable? I suppose by definition it WOULD mean that, but my short term memory is a bit suspect more and more lately. So maybe the drinks are good.
Anyway...good seafood. I enjoyed the experience. But it was nothing that a dozen other restaurants can't match.
