| - Let's set the stage. There's convention center right around the corner. We are on limited time for lunch so as a rule we generally avoid places that looked this nice because they take too long as a rule. Good food just takes longer. Well apparently word got around that it had open seating so unbeknownst to us there was An unspoken consent and we swarmed the place like locusts. This place literally went from a normal lunch crowd to bursting at the seams in about 5 minutes. What usually happens in this case comes to pandemonium. Not this time. Their shocked looks quickly changed to determination and they set to work. There are issues when a restaurant gets slammed like that with delays and such. In my opinion, they much less than I would have expected from them. For the life of me I cannot remember the name of the waiter but if anyone official is looking at this, we were the group of five in the horseshoe booth with me sitting in the extra chair they got for us on Tuesday the 8th. This waiter was awesome. He was constantly on the move, making sure everyone was taken care of, and keeping us informed when there was a slight delay. We couldn't have asked more of any server, especially when considering the stress they were certainly under at that time. Now to the food and drinks. I like my Moscow Mules, most mule drinks for that matter, and this one was definitely on par. The food, however, was definitely above par. I got the brussel sprout appetizer which everyone tried and they all loved them. I had shrimp and grits entreè which was outstanding, as good as when I've gotten it in the south where I understand it to have originated. Others in my party ordered gumbo, grilled cheese and tomato soup, salad, and steak of some kind. Everyone was impressed and completely satisfied with the entire experience. Next time I'm in Pittsburg I will make certain I stop here for another great experience. Thanks for reading my ramblings!
