We went to Butcher and the Rye for my Mom and Dad's 55th wedding anniversary. Boy, we were surprised - in a good way! Josh was our server. We sat at a huge table made for 8 (there were 5 of us) right beside big garage doors that opened to the outside. It was a perfect day in Pittsburgh for sitting outside.
We ordered the bread with dips for $5. SOOOOO worth it. We loved the hummus, tappanade (sp?), and ricotta spreads.
We shared salads. I didn't LOVE my ceasar but my mom got the salad that was in season and her and my daughter just gobbled it up.
I ordered the Wagyu Flank Steak. It was delicious. My mom and daughter got the scallops. I would get them the next time. Melt in your mouth GOOD. My dad got the chicken and he's pretty picky. He really liked it. And my friend got the sea bass. Just excellent.
We all tasted each others dinner and there was not one bad meal.
We then shared a Smore dessert. It was nice. Mom and I had a glass of champagne. Our whole order came to about $220. Then I had to tip. And actually, for the quality of the food, I thought it was quite reasonable.
We were so impressed that me and my two girls went back two nights later before seeing The Wedding Singer at the Benedum.
This time my daughter ordered the Dirty Pasta. She didn't love it and ate my scallops. Darn her. But I loved it. Rich, but delightful.
We also got the Fried Brussel Sprouts. I hate brussels. But my daughter loves them. Well, i will tell you....BAM....SOOO GOOD. Just get them. Trust me. So, so good.
Overall, go to this place. You will NOT be disappointed.
