The small and quiet basement restaurant is not quite like the rest of the restaurant and bar scene on Walnut. I've only been there for lunch but both times I was impressed with the food - the hummus is spectacular.
Great food does satisfy only one part, the restaurant is really quiet but the service left something to be desired and turned lunch into a rather long affair. Also it seemed a bit pricey, even for Shadyside.
I am eager to check it out for dinner and trust I won't be disappointed.
