| - We went here last night for a birthday dinner and our experience was incredible. My husband and I decided to go early and check out the bar and happy hour. Our bartender was fun, knowledgeable, and very nice to talk with during our bar visit. He made our first experience at the bar a great one! We tried a few cocktails and a few beers on draft. I love that they place high emphasis on Pittsburgh beers, that is just awesome. The beer that I tasted was from Draai Laag and it was delicious! The bar atmosphere is great....there are games to play, couches to sit on, magnet tiles to build with, and a pinball machine! They even have a little library. I just love that!
We had a party of 5 for dinner and made reservations so our table was ready at 7. Everything on the menu sounded amazing so it was hard to order. My husband and I thought it would be a great idea to split a bunch of items on the menu so we could try more. We started with the brussel sprouts and the poutine fries. The brussel sprouts are out of this world!! I have always been a huge fan of the vegetable, but I have NEVER experienced such a remarkable blend of flavors. WOW. I am still yearning for them this morning and I just ate them last night. Seriously...the best thing EVER. The poutine was also a delight. After we devoured that course of food, we moved onto the chicken and a biscuit. We opted to try it with the maple syrup. HOLY cow...delicious!! The definition of comfort food at its finest. The flavors blended so well together. After we inhaled the chicken and biscuit, we tried the halusky and the risotto. YUM and double YUM. I absolutely loved the flavors in the halusky. Everything meshed so well and it was delightful. The risotto was out of this world...we actually shared this with the table. Everyone loved it!
Scratch is WONDERFUL. If you are looking for a comfortable place to go for dinner or a few drinks, check it out!! It's really close to some cool breweries, too!
Thank you for a great experience!
