  • I ate here with my girlfriend and 2 other friends a couple of Fridays ago. We had reservations for a Friday night and whenever we arrived there was only one other table in the club. Since the dining room is fairly cavernous, it was almost awkward. As you would expect at a finer dining establishment the tables were covered in white tablecloths and there was silverware on the table for a number of courses. We were sat near the windows which overlooked the Monogahela River and I imagine that the view would have been pretty great but since we were visiting at night in winter, there was not much to be seen. Our table decided to start off by splitting zucchini and ricotta fritters and the caprese kabobs while I also ordered the beer & 3 cheese soup since I thought that it sounded good. The fritters were not completely what I expected but were really good and lived up to their name of fritters. Meanwhile the caprese kabobs left a little to be desired as they were just some tomatoes and cheese on a kabob with a little balsalmic drizzle. Finally my cheese soup was an interesting mixture. I could taste the beer but it also tasted strongly of American cheese, you know the singles kind that you buy presliced at the supermarket? So while I enjoyed it initially, by the end it sort of tasted like I was drinking a grilled cheese soup which wasn't the most appealing thing. For my entree I went with the grilled lemon-basil chicken and rosemary shrimp while my girlfriend went with one of their specialties, the honey and lime swordfish. Whenever our entrees came is when the service went from awkward to just plain weird. I should say that all of dinner up to that point our server was very standoffish and made us feel uncomfortable. Well she did not clean off our appetizers and plates before the entrees came even though we were finished with everything well in advance. Since we were only at a 4 top, our table was fairly full and dishes and the first dish that she served she ended up hovering over one of my dining companions until he made room for the entree. While I have made room for entrees on the table before, I don't know that I have ever seen anyone pressured into it by a server. In any case I ended up thinking that all of the portion sizes for dinner were fairly small with none of them covering more than half of the plate that they were served on. My entree still was decent as the lemon flavoring on the chicken was good even if my chicken was dry and rosemary always pairs well with shrimp. My girlfriend ended up describing her meal as a piece of frozen fish stuffed onto a plate with none of the promised honey & lime. Since she is not normally one to say bad things about food, boy am I glad that I did not get that. The bottom line for me is that I really hope that I never come back here in the future. The service that was provided was awkward and left me feeling uncomfortable and the food was nothing to write home about either.
