| - After the woeful Stillers game vs. Tampa, we did some Yelping to figure out where to go. Hey 'Burgh...what's up with all your decent establishments being closed on a Sunday? Harris Grill wasn't, and we're certainly thankful for that.
This review should actually reflect 4.5 or 4.75 stars if possible- just a neat place. We ventured over and found parking without issue. I can imagine on a Friday or Sat evening this might be a little more challenging. Since it was a beautiful fall evening, we opted to sit outside and we were approached quickly by our waitress with water, and asked for a moment to review the hysterical drink menu. Much props to a place that doesn't take itself too seriously. Just read the menu and if you have an ounce of humor in your body, you should at least salts (smile a little then stop). I salt because LOL is so yesterday.
I opted for the manly Sangria, which was outstanding, and she got some lemonade concoction with vodka. Both were hits. We also read a lot about the hummus, so we were followers and went with it...very pleased we did. A great appetizer.
She went with the skirt steak mac n cheese. I went with the lobster and crab mac. I'm just going to laugh at my kids when I make them microwave mac n cheese from here forward. THIS is mac n cheese- it's creamy and fattening and has a crunchy topping and soft noodles (but not too soft) and well...it's perfect. There were generous portions of lobster and crab in my dish and it was delish. Her steak was seasoned and cooked to perfection. I was almost jealous I didn't get it, but then I'd grab a huge hunk of seafood and quickly realize the mistake of my ways. Both are very rich dishes. If you can finish the big plate of mac, God bless you---you're a better person than I am. However, it does make for a wonderful breakfast. Don't judge me.
She finished with a dessert type drink that featured Rumchatta and strawberries- not my thing (said the guy who ordered Sangria), but she enjoyed it. Dessert looked tempting, but the button on my jeans was already stressed, and not wanting to hold my pants up on the walk back to the car, I shook off the waitress and asked for the check.
If memory serves, 3 drinks, an app and 2 fine dinners came to roughly $75 plus tip, so, roughly $90....and if I lived there, I'd do it at least once a month or more. The menu is diverse (and funny). The service is timely and I saw a manager deal with a couple 'difficult' customers in a way that I'd want my manager to treat any customer. Pittsburgh's lucky to have this place. When we're back in town, we'll be going here again.
