| - I was torn as to whether to write this review between wanting to shout about how good this restaurant is and not wanting it to become over-crowded, because we love just being able to walk in and get a table right away. But -- I can't, in all good conscience, not shout about how special this place is and how great the food and service are. My husband and I are confirmed "foodies" and have had several dishes prepared here, but last night's special took the prize. I have traveled all over for business and been to many different restaurants -- including here in Pittsburgh -- and I have never had a dinner as amazing as this one. The special was seared marlin with roasted pineapple, over risotto with a side of black bean salsa. It was the perfect fusion of Asian and Mexican with just a touch of heat. The portion was more than enough and I ended up with it for lunch the next day. The marlin, which is notoriously hard to cook right, was done to perfection! A taste treat cooked medium, seared with flavor on the outside, tender, flaky and not even the slightest hint of dryness on the inside. I was in heaven. The risotto was flavorful, the salsa an incredible mixture with a great crunch and finished off with a red pepper-dusted ring of FRESH pineapple, roasted to a perfect consistency. While our favorites still remain their fish sandwich and "the Bobby D" sandwich, this dinner was a real eye opener to the caliber of the chef. Hats off to Bobby D's and despite our love for a "less traveled" restaurant, we wish you all the success in the world! Stay with us, we need you in our neighborhood!
