| - Let me start by saying that while the food isn't bad it's the service that makes this place worth going to.
I just landed back in Pittsburgh and my mother wanted to do an early dinner after I got to the hotel. We went straight to this place, a spot we'd been to before, with the intention of trying their four course prix fixe menu.
Started with egg drop soup, which is neither good or bad. Personally, I'd go for plain old miso and be happy. Next was appetizers, chicken lettuce wraps plus the pork dumplings on as extra. The lettuce wraps are a guaranteed hit for me, the pork dumplings were just okay. I'd have to try them again to be sure. They were skimpy with the lettuce, but the waitress brought us more lettuce without us having to ask. My main course was the the Asian grilled salmon. Huge piece of salmon with asparagus. The salmon was tender and absolutely delicious. Dessert for me was the salted caramel cake. Discovered this gem when I went to PF Changs in Monterey and I'm hooked.
The waitress made this visit for me. Mom wasn't sure she wanted soup so the waitress brought her out the egg drop and the hot & sour soup (she didn't like either). I got a pink cherry Cosmo (hated it), she saw I didn't like it so she added sprite and made it taste so much better. She was quick, thoughtful, knowledgeable about the menu, and friendly. We tipped the 20%, but I wish I'd have tipped her more. Food was good, but she made the visit better.
