| - We've been here many times before. I used to consider it my favorite restaurant in Pittsburgh. We haven't been there for over a year and, well, this place has nose-dived since then.
Before I talk about anything else about our experience, I want to say that we didn't see one smile there all night. Not a single one.
We went in at 8PM on a Saturday night. From the moment we went in, we had to wait. We waited probably 7 minutes before we even saw the Hostess. As soon as she saw us, she told us we'd have to wait at least 15 minutes. We sat down at the bar. And waited. Finally the sushi chef offered to get us some beers. We had to wait for those, too. Once we got the beers, mine was all funky. It had gotten warm and had been put back in the cooler. Gross.
We ended up waiting about 20 minutes to be seated. They sat us down underneath the stage while a band was warming up. After some waiting, the server brought us some cold bread and we asked if we could go sit in the corner away from the band. She obliged.
We waited. Finally we got our drinks. After we finished them, we had to actually go to the bar and ask for refills because the server was just nowhere to be found. Maybe she was busy in the back trying to do her sidework or something...I don't know. She only had four tables, I don't know why she was missing half the night.
The food was good. Their prices have gone up since we had been there. They have this three item combo where you pick like a steak, some seafood, some chicken, etc...and you get mashed potatoes and veggies. It used to be $19, now its $24. We got the lobster tail, the prime rib and coconut shrimp. It was all good. We also got this seafood platter that had shrimp scampi, beer batter cod, scallops and a baked potato for like $17. Everything was good. But the fact that we just had to wait and wait and wait made it all kind of crappy.
I guess they recently added some teppenyaki (or Hibachi as you yinzers like to call is) tables and stuff. They have sushi also but the sushi chef was making the sushi in the bar area. We sat and watched him make about six rolls and he didn't wash his hands once.
The only real consolation was that she only charged us for one vodka soda and I had about five. Plus the two beers and ice tea.
Oh...and the band was awful. They were called Run 4 Cover and....you bet we did as soon as we could get out of there.
