| - I had purchased a Groupon for this place and forgot about it until it was near the expiration date...so I grabbed my niece for a desperation-use-the-Groupon lunch. It's a fairly cheerful little bar with both booths and tables, and we chose a booth. There were placemats and napkin-wrapped silverware already on the table, and we both became pretty apprehensive when we opened our silverware and discovered that all of it appeared to have been taken from a dirty table and re-wrapped in a clean napkin. Our server quickly apologized and brought us clean, so we decided to stay. We ordered the spinach-artichoke dip in a bread bowl to share as our app. The presentation was nice, the dip was hot and very flavorful, and the bread bowl had the right combination of crunch and soft. Also, generous pieces of artichoke with none of those nasty hard pieces you sometimes find. My niece and I both decided on the fish sandwich, she with fries and slaw, I with fries and a bowl of wedding soup. My soup arrived first, and I have to say that this was THE BEST wedding soup I have EVER had!! Genuine Italian recipe with finely shredded chicken and teeny-tiny meatballs, and a wonderfully flavorful broth. My niece agreed that it was great. Then came our entrees. The fish on each sandwich was HUGE! We're talking Trump could use them for his barrier wall huge! The fries were fresh-cut and fine. My niece's slaw missed the mark with us--WAY too much vinegar. You want a bit of vinegar for tang, but not so much that it obliterates the taste of the slaw, right? Both of us were too full to even try the fish, but we had it later and it was quite good. Did I mention the wedding soup was awesome? We got 2 quarts to go!! As we live in McKees Rocks, Bridgeville is out of the way for us, but we will be coming back, and probably with the whole fam!
