| - I went to B Gourmet for lunch. it's a cute little place right on Beaver Street that had a short, but delicious looking menu of sandwiches, salads, and soup. It's the sister restaurant of Avenue B in Shadyside/Friendship.
I ordered the crab cake sandwich. The cake was really good and tasted homemade. It was served on an English Muffin with basil aioli, arugula, and a slice of piquillo pepper. There was a choice of fingerling potatoes or house salad as a side. I went with the house salad. It was a simple salad with spring mix and a few cherry tomato halves. It had an a oil-based dressing that had a good, but subtle flavor.
The meal was good and a great lunch portion. Just enough to fill me, but not enough to send me into a post-lunch full belly slump where I'm so full I just want to nap! With the portion size in mind, $13 seemed a little steep...with a drink I paid over $15, but considering it is fresh, delicious, and a locally owned establishment I didn't mind the price tag.
