| - This place doesn't live up to the hype or price.
So I used to love Meat and Potatoes, which is owned by the same people. Then I went to Cure, and I realized how amazing a "meat-centric" (is that a thing?) restaurant could be. Butcher and the Rye is the same way. It's super-cool, and it's definitely worth going to check out the decor and the multi-story bar. The food is good, but it didn't knock my socks off. To wit, I ate there about two weeks ago and I have zero recollection of what I had even though the meal cost well over $100.
If you're a whiskey aficionado, as is my boyfriend, you'd probably love this place, but even he was underwhelmed by the food.
It's great when new, upscale, non-chain restaurants open in the Pittsburgh area. But as of yet, Butcher and the Rye isn't worth the wait for a reservation.
