| - My wife and I have just moved to Pittsburgh and we were excited for a night out on the town sans kiddo's. We booked a hotel room downtown and set off for a nice dinner and a nice night Dahn Tahn!
We decided on a good steak dinner and sought out a great steak at a reasonable price! We settled on Pittsburgh's Steak Company...bad choice.
We ordered deep fried calamari as a starter along with a diet coke and coke to help wash it down...the server was DYNAMITE! Mallory was what you want in a server, attentive, not intrusive, and there when you need a refill!
Back to the food!
The food came out in a timely manner but one major problem at the first bite the calamari was under cooked! It was straight out of the fryer but not cooked through YUCK! Nothing like a rubbery pop and crunch of under-cooked calamari!
We had also placed our order for two bowls of french onion soup and two 12 ounce NY strip steaks mine also had a Gorgonzola topper.
The french onion soup was weak, bland, and lackluster at best! The onions lacked any flavor, the bread overpowered the bowl, the cheese was about the only thing in the bowl that was redeeming.
Then the main course arrived! Two thick steaks my wife's was supposed to be medium and mine medium rare. The Gorgonzola was a thick white melted blanket on top of my steak...not a topper but an equal on the plate with the steak! Off to the races as these were thick cuts of NY strip and that's when the mystery of how do you screw up a steak began! It's a steak that the cooks even at franchise restaurants can seem to get right 95% of the time. Oh what an epic failure! The cut of steak was not the tender juicy strip I was expecting but a chewy more on the rare side of things monster that was costing me $25 just to eat. The Gorgonzola was a mild cheesy blanket that lacked any of the pop you expect from Gorgonzola! The steak had little to no fat trimmed off the cut leading to those fun bites of chewing, chewing some more then being faced with the decision to spit out the fat or swallow it whole. My wife who ordered it at medium got a cut that was cooked to more medium rare, the blood on her plate turned her stomach and finished her halfway through her not so tender monster.
Now instead of being out on the town with my wife, enjoying some of the fun and character that Pittsburgh has to offer we are holed up in our hotel room nursing aching stomachs as we can't seem to get past the overpriced, poorly cooked fare our bodies are trying to digest.
STAY AWAY!!!!! Besides the server and the soda the food fell flat and lacked any real redeeming qualities! Pittsburgh is our new home but we will never bother to submit ourselves to the culinary crumminess that is Pittsburgh Steak CO again.
