i have to say, this must've been the most interesting renovation project when it was conceived. i would've loved to have that as a design challenge.
our experience was low key as we were here rather early (6pm-ish) before the crowds. we were seated in one of the "pews" in the nave with a central view of the apse, whose altar worships brew kettles. along the left side of the aisle is the bar area, and i think the transcept areas had additional seating.
the beer was really affordable...had to be the lame-ass pittsburgh tourist and order traditional pierogies, which at first sight and bite seemed heavy and tasteless but actually grew on me. the hummus dish was a bit much with the bread a bit over baked. the food was excellent, and i would definitely go back with friends if i lived there.
faster service and exceptional food would've brought it to 5 stars.
