I have to echo @Sharon F. as loving Pittsburgh Restaurant Week. This was also my first time participating and I'm sure it won't be my last.
Love the wide variety of restaurants offering great deals. Reservations at all the restaurants is def. encouraged, and I'm glad I had one for Bistro 19 in Mt. Lebo as it was packed the Saturday evening I dined there.
The Kick-off event was fun, but I have to suggest more than one bar and to stagger the food. So much good food was circulating and I had a hard time remembering which food was from what venue, as all the food came out at once. It was all delicous so I'd like to give credit where credit is due:) Venue, Mini-Cooper of Pittsburgh, was unique and interesting.
