| - Love this place! It is a great addition to North Park and the North Hills. Located in the old Boathouse, it is a great reinvention of an old spot. The architecture of the building is classic, intricate and beautiful and the location right on the edge of North Park Lake is stunning. I promise when you are sitting on their deck, underneath one of their large, red umbrellas you will feel far, far away from Pittsburgh.
The food is delicious and tries to lean towards the healthier side of things, but there's definitely some sinfully delicious items. The "Rachel Carson Wrap", named after a famous Pennsylvanian ecologist, is their version of buffalo chicken wrap with grilled chicken, buffalo sauce, blue cheese dressing on a soft, warm delicious pita. Definitely recommend if you're a fan of some spice like myself. Recently I tried the Lakeside Salad which features mixed greens with a HUGE filet of salmon with goat cheese, craisins and candied walnuts with housemade balsamic vinaigrette. It was delicious and surprisingly VERY filling. Other things to check out...their caprese Panini and housemade potato chips with a hint of ranch flavoring dusted on.
Pretty much the only reason I'm not giving five stars is sometimes the service can be a little slow. Last time cashing out our check took an incredibly long time, and for another table near us took almost 20 minutes and them asking multiple servers for help. It is always busy here (plan to get here early, especially on a beautiful day!) but they should plan their staffing accordingly.
Overall, a MUST do if you are in the North Park area!
