| - I'd heard about how good Wild Rosemary was for a long long time. When we finally got the chance to go we jumped at it. The restaurant was small and dark, the group of four sitting behind us was talking so loudly you'd think they were screaming at each other. I could not hear my friend sitting a foot away from me, and could barely hear the waitress. Honestly it was uncomfortable and started the evening off poorly. The waitress offered us their appetizer plate of charcuterie ($30 for meats and cheeses you can buy at giant eagle, one homemade item of ricotta). Well after we had ordered the appetizer did she finally ask us if we were ready to order our entree's, only then did she decide to mention they were out of two of the items on the menu, the sea bass and prawns, Which three of us had already decided we were going to get. For someone who doesn't eat meat that left the scallops or the whole grilled fish. I chose the scallops and a friend chose the fish. Waiting until you're asking for someone's order to tell them you're out of two items on such a limited menu is flat out poor service. Once the entree's came, our friend who had been there before asked if there was a salad dish served, as he last time he had received one between the appetizer and the entree. The waitress said she was just about to ask us if we wanted one. While our entree plates took up most of the table, it was pretty unwieldy to move everything around to accommodate a small salad plate. The scallops were listed on the menu as coming with a homemade bucatini, creme fraiche, white wine, wilted arugula, rocket and a number of other half written items. Arugula and rocket are the same thing, I thought maybe that meant it came with a bit of a salad on top and creme fraiche and white wine sounded like a nice light cream sauce. It was the heaviest alfredo sauce I've ever seen, there was maybe three pieces of arugula and a bunch of slices of cheese sticking out of it. In addition to three scallops. At that point I could only be amused at how awful it all was. My friends whole fish was pathetic, you could have gotten that fish at a red lobster. At the end of the meal the check was written up incorrectly and one of my friends went to wait by the car. The waitress asked if everything was alright and her husband said she was displeased they were out of the dish she wanted. The waitress came back with the owner(maybe? she was seating people and serving food really no idea) who "apologized" for being out of an item in such a way that made it seem like no apology at all.
It's been a long review and if you got this far great, but if you need a take away, there are literally DOZENS of restaurants in Pittsburgh I'd rather spend my money at for better food at a lesser price. The prices are literally obscene. The food is fine. Wild Rosemary is nothing special, if you want to throw some money away for a halfway decent meal then Wild Rosemary is your place.
