I'm a huge fan of the Harris Grill in Shadyside, so I was pleased to see a location downtown! They have a great covered outdoor patio area. Thank you for letting me sit outside but not have to roast in the sun! The menu is pretty identical to their other location, with perhaps a few updates. For bar food, it's a bit pricey, but comparable to many other places downtown with nice sized-portions.
We planned a little surprise lunch for a friend of mine and the staff did a great job with helping us pull it off. They had appetizer orders ready shortly after we arrived and our server, Brittany did an amazing job taking care of our whole party. The mac and cheese is always creamy and delicious-- it's really hard for me not to order it every single time. I also had the short-rib quesadilla which was very good!
If you visited here when it was Tavern 245, you know to expect a lot of steps, especially if you are venturing all the way up to the patio area!
