| - This is, hands down, the best meal and most positive experience I've had in a restaurant in Pittsburgh. From walking in the door without a reservation on my birthday and being greeted by lovely hosts, to Josh, my amiable server, and the coterie of great additional servers and bussers whose names I missed, the service was fantastic. Amiable and skilled, informative but not gratuitous. And smiling!
The food was seriously on point. I ordered a number of small plates, sides and cocktails, not an entree. Each was tasty and well seasoned, served at the right temperature, and overall complemented each other. The overall menu was well thought out for texture and flavor balance as well. The cocktails were old favorites with a unique take, and I'll be dreaming about that mezcal one for a while (Last Stand?).
Finally, as it was my birthday, they served my passion fruit dessert with a single candle. They didn't sing, but other patrons saw the candle and burst into song themselves. It was a truly lovely way to end my meal.
Again, the food was excellent and the servers really welcoming and lovely. I wish I could eat here all the time.
