| - Have you ever wanted to go out for a really nice night without breaking the bank? Somewhere with a cool vibe, menu, and drink list? Somewhere you can come with your girlfriends, date, or to celebrate a birthday? This place is for you.
On a Saturday night around 9pm we walked in to this new and gorgeous industrial looking restaurant. Everything was metal and wood and I loved it. The cool sliding barn door caught my eye immediately as did the etched map of Pittsburgh with the name of the restaurant as a focal piece.
There was a little bit of confusion from the get-go. Where to be seated, drinks didn't come out quickly, took a little bit of time to order. All things that happen with a newly opened restaurant, but I promise, it is all worth it.
Our waitress was very sweet. She was efficient in all of her deliveries and made sure our courses were brought out in an appropriately timed manor.
Instead of all 5 of us ordering entrees, we decided to split a bunch of appetizers and shareables. Seared gnocchi, wild mushroom flatbread, truffle fries, crispy Brussels sprouts, and the hot rocks.
The first thing brought out was the hot rocks. For $16 you get 3 different proteins with 3 pieces each, pickled mushrooms, some sort of salsa looking thing, and seaweed salad. The hot rock was huge and actually very smokey, but worth it. Didn't take more than 2 minutes to cook any of the proteins, and it was fun! We chose scallops, tuna, and Kobe beef. All delicious. Especially the scallops!
Once that was taken away we were brought the house breadbasket and truffle fries with bacon and rosemary aioli. We went through 2 baskets of each. There were pretzel rolls with sundried tomato butter, need I say more? And the fries. Oh my god the fries. So incredibly amazing. The best fries I've ever had and I'm a fry-aholic.
The flatbread was forgettable. Overcooked and really pretty dry. The seared gnocchi were to die for. Perfectly crisp on the outside and creamy and delicious on the inside. Some of the best I've ever had. The Brussels sprouts were also a standout. Sweet Jack Daniels sauce pairs with very crispy sprouts, bacon, and hunks of Gorgonzola. It was heaven. Washed down the a prickly pear margarita was certainly the way to go.
Dinner for 5 (who left very full) with 4 cocktails, ended up being $103. Are you kidding? And that was with ordering another basket of amazing fries. This is a great place for any occasion or no occasion at all. Go, now!
