So when I walked out of the door of Grit & Grace I didn't think it was a five star experience. You may be wondering why my review has 5 stars then...
The fact is that in my rumination over the past two weeks, I couldn't help but reflect on the solid and delicious menu that was superbly well crafted and executed. The ambiance of the restaurant was nice - your typical relatively high end PGH downtown feel. However, the food was just SO well made.
I had some of the best Kimchi of my life here which I did not expect. (I say "of my life" but I don't really remember the taste of the kimchi I ate as a toddler when we lived in Japan and my dad would bring home jars of the stuff from Korea.)
I had the hanger steak chow fun and it was absolutely delicious! It had a light sauce that was full of flavor. The steak was thinly sliced and very tender. We also had some of the "dim sum" which was NOT dumplings but just table delivered appetizers.
All in all, I felt like it was a wonderful experience and great for both dates and nights out with friends.
