This is definitely my go-to for best restaurant in Pittsburgh. It is always super high quality ingredients and great specials. We went in on New Year's Eve which was a great idea with their BYOB policy. We brought beer, wine and champagne and settled in for a fantastic meal.
J&B started with the infamous spinach dip. Served with a whole loaf of their bread, it oozed gooiness. J&I started with the special - lamb crepes. Unbelieveable. This should become a staple of the menu. We also split a bowl of crab soup. Spicy and filled with crab - delicious! J had the scallops as his main course and was blown away by both the quality of the scallops as well as the extremely fresh veggies. I had the salmon which is one of my favorites. It's one of the few meals where you will feel completely full afterwards, but also very healthy. J had the eggplant parm which is not normal eggplant parm, but is a much healthier, yet delicious alternative. B had the steak which I believe is the best thing on the menu. An awesome piece of meat covered with blue cheese butter. Heaven.
We ordered the chocolate flourless cake and the raspberry brown butter tort. To say that these were good would be an understatement. J&I ordered 3 desserts - 3. We could have ordered more. The raspberry tort was insane - buttery and sweet and mouth-watering.
Go! Go now! You won't be disappointed!
Oh, also cash only! Be aware!
