| - One of my absolute favorites in Pittsburgh. The ambiance is cool, and everything they serve is thoughful and delicious: food and drinks both. It is pricey, yes, but similar to many of the nicer places in Pittsburgh and with equally good food. The pork belly bites are outrageous, as is the marco burger, pork loin, and butternut squash soup. This place is tiny, so get reservations. It's one of my favorite date places.
I went back for my first brunch here, and I should note that the service was sloooow. I was sitting at the bar, and waited 30-45 minutes for my food. The people next to me at the bar waited nearly that long for their table, even though they had a reservation. The apologized to all of us, but it made me wonder if they have some kinks to work out of the brunch service. On the plus side, The brunch cocktails looked ridiculously creative and delicious (I wasn't in a booze mood). I had the corn pancakes with bacon, and the bacon was possibly the most perfect and delicious bacon I've ever had-- smoky, peppery, and sweet. I'll be dreaming about that bacon. The music was perfect for brunch too, in the Van Morrison and Motown wheelhouse. I really want to come back here for an unhurried brunch after a late night out, and enjoy some comforting food, music, and Hair of the Dog.
