| - This restaurant is about as good as it gets, at least in the city of Pittsburgh.
Firstly, the ambiance is low-key, fairly classy, and romantic. My then-girlfriend and I were seated in a room with a table of people that were a bit too loud at times, but I don't blame Legume for that. Our service was attentive, fairly friendly, and knowledgeable.
I love that this restaurant is farm-to-table, and that is really evident in the wholesome, fresh ingredients. I love the fact that their menu changes each day.
It has been a while, but I recall that we ordered goat cheese and apricot jelly crostinis and some kind of salad to start. Both were complex and very, very delicious. While I don't usually like hard boiled eggs or anchovies, I had to eat them, because every flavor had a place in the salad, and they all came together and complimented each other perfectly.
This was also true for our entrees.. I believe we both had some kind of chicken dish, and I ordered a side of their french fries with a truffle aioli (again, absolutely incredible). Just when I thought it couldn't get much better, we ordered desserts. I recall having ordered some kind of raspberry and cream dish, and it was light and wonderfully tasty. The presentation of every single dish was impeccable.
When all was said and done, $130 or so including tip was more than worth our experience.
If you're looking for a high quality dining experience in Pittsburgh, look no further. This is simply one of Pittsburgh's best.
