Dinner on Saturday April 30. Whitfield is a hip spot. It is the restaurant venue in the Ace Hotel PGH which was crafted out of an Old YMCA. Much of the buildings original decor and fixtures remain giving the trendy location an organic and historic feel. Whitfield serves breakfast,lunch and dinner. Last night the vibe was energetic and decidedly local. A huge selection of craft beers and creative cocktails awaits. The two we tried were both excellent sadly I don't recall the names. One was a crisp gingery mule that was really great. We passed on the first course offerings although several sounded excellent instead selecting two sides to start. Grilled Ramps had a smoky carmelized flavor and tasted great. Ramos have a very short season so this was a timely opportunity not to be missed. The Shisedo peppers were as well done as in any tapas restaurant we've enjoyed. Entrees were a a flavor flaky pan seared trout and my smoked chicken and dumplings. Both were A+. The wine list is limited but offers excellent selections both glass, 250 ml pours and bottle. Our server Josh was the best. Informed and friendly. But only at the table when we needed for him to be. Also recommend the olive oil chocolate cake and the rhubarb vanilla ice cream dessert.
All and all one of the best experiences since moving to PGH. Bravo Whitfield!!
