| - As I sit here writing this review, I still have a very faint smell on my fingers of mussels in white wine heaven sauce. *sniiiff* ahh, delicious. Calm down guys, I only went last night and the smell is starting to fade away. Most of it is now a fond memory.
I give this place 4 stars because my one experience, and what I ordered was great. I've heard from others that the other selections aren't as good. Stop ordering the other things then! If a place specializes in delicious mussels, year round, then order that! I got the white wine based cream sauce. It was awesome! I was drinking that stuff like it's soup, using the mussel shell as a spoon. I don't know if that's acceptable, but it's how I roll.
Other than that, the beer selection is great. I had the Maredsous 8, a darker beer, on tap. Oh boy was it tasty. The fries are really good too, and they serve it with mayo.
Yes, this joint is overpriced, but it's not as bad as the other reviews make it seem. The moules frites will run you $17, and the beer is about $7.50 (thanks to PA's drink tax, i'm sure), but you pay for what you get: good food, the cozy atmosphere of a wannabe European bistro, and on a nice day/evening you can sit outside on their patio overlooking a quaint residential area of Pittsburgh.
