Can't believe I forgot about this review for all this time. As I tell a lot of my friends this is hands down one of the top 3 meals I have had in the city of Pittsburgh thus far. I can't think of a single complaint. It was a beautiful day so we got to sit outside at a little table and enjoy the city. The waiter was super patient and helpful. He helped us pick out a drink and made suggestions as well. Both of us absolutely loved our Old Fashioned. The restaurant itself is a little dark but I think that gives it a nice ambience.
But my absolute favorite part was the scallops. OMG AMAZING. Scallops is something that can be so easily screwed up. It's fairly simple to make them but if you screw up that flavor you basically just served someone little balls of rubber and no one wants that. These scallops were phenomenal though. The flavor was perfect paired with the risotto. I almost wished I had ordered another one to take home with me.
If you have not been to Butcher and the Rye yet I strongly suggest you make it a point to get there relatively soon. I promise you won't be disappointed. Just writing this review makes me want to text one of my friends and ask them to go back with me. Absolutely spot on, good job!
