I went to this restaurant not too long with a dining partner. We got there at 8 PM on a Thursday night and the restaurant was fairly empty but as the night went on it started to fill up. The decor is very aesthetically pleasing and the whole restaurant much brighter than you would think from the outside. The feel inside was much like that of a trendy Vegas restaurant with dance music playing loud enough to drown out background noises but not so loud as to not be able to hear your waiter/waitress or others at your table.
We started off with the calamari and shrimp appetizer. The appetizer was quite large and came with a side of a flavored horseradish sauce. The breading on the shrimp and calamari was good and the shrimp reasonably sized. My only complaint with it being that the larger calamari were actually cooked too long and were a bit burnt making them very rubbery. Otherwise it was a solid appetizer. Dinner for me was the butter poached lobster and scallops with papperdale pasta. The dish appeared deceivingly small whenever it came but actually contained quite a bit of food. The pasta was fresh and the cream sauce rich. There was also a lot of lobster in the dish with at least both claws, the tail and some other sizable pieces. Overall it had a good flavor. My dining partner ordered the crab cakes and the two crab cakes that came out were large and displayed beautifully. I took a taste of one and it had great flavor with enough citrus to make it delightful. With all of the food that we ate for dinner, we ended up being too stuffed for dessert which was a shame since they had a few items that sounded good.
The bottom line for me is that the food was good although pricey, but you get what you paid for. Overall it was a pleasant experience and I am happy that I tried Savoy but I do not think that I would go back as there are better restaurants in Pittsburgh with a better price point.
