The two stars are for the excellent food. The service was terrible. The server was indifferent and didn't bother checking on us or asking if we wanted a drink refill. The only time he was prompt was when delivering the check! Our appetizer never came and when we asked we were told that things were busy. Well of course considering that it was a Saturday night in downtown Pittsburgh! But that doesn't excuse the bad service or indifference. Further the salad that we ordered came after all the entrees and that too after asking about it twice. No matter how good the food, service is usually what makes a restaurant worth going back to! I doubt if I will go back to Poros. There are tons of other great restaurants in downtown Pittsburgh that are able to balance the food, service and weekend crowds! They will get my business over Poros any day.
