| - If you're looking for very good food at very reasonable prices, in an excellent and quaint atmosphere, look no further than Toast. Oh, excuse me, I meant Toast!
We enjoyed their 4-course tasting menu, and on Tuesday, it was only $30. I'm not sure you could find a much better bargain in Pittsburgh. It wasn't a pre-fixe menu, it was just whatever came out of the kitchen. So, on the one hand, I was a bit disappointed to not have tried the touted shrimp and grits or bone marrow. On the other hand, each diner gets something different, so it was a great way to sample the food.
Oh yeah, the wine comes in a half-glass (4 oz) as well as full pours. It's just another great way to sample their wine menu.
The food was very, very good. I wasn't blown away with the flavors, but there was some creativity, which came off well. One of the last dishes was basically pulled pork terrine. It was great. And again, I think there is great value here, for $18 to $22 entrees, vs the $25 to $32 at others such as Casbah or Spoon.
Lastly, the environment is fantastic. It's set in a house, so there are multiple small rooms. It's cozy, romantic, dark, and all with a nice indie music playlist setting the tone.
I'm looking forward to another visit.
