| - The folks who work there are great! Across street from Primantisis, Taverna is a destination spot. There is a large outdoor patio behind a tall brick wall. Inside the courtyard, a cool fountain, lots of spaces to relax in, couches, tables with umbrellas, a double length outdoor bar.
The menu was great, well thought out. Chef came out and said "Hi!", which was nice, him taking time to make some face time for the customers. Nice selection of food, and nicely priced. Something for every budget or taste.
And when I say "destination spot", this is a place to end up at, or to start at, and never leave.
Now, the only thing that I really did not like, was the overly loud dance mix music that the DJ was playing, in the afternoon. At night, it would have been great. Daytime, not so much. I was still sober, so it was a bit loud. And afternoons, I actually just like background music. With words, Country, Adult Contemporary, Pop, that is better in the afternoon. Later on, crank it up. Daytime? Not so much...
Having said all that, I am going to make this a regular stop on my every other weekend that I have off that I spend on the Strip. Taverna 19, then do my shopping after Taverna. Really, they really got it right. Oh, and I am out of time, so I can't even begin to tell you how GREAT they have set up the interior. Seriously, this is a large but intimate space. VERY nice. Go see this place now, and you will discover that you actually can get good food, at a place with a club like atmosphere, in Pittsburgh.
