So far, this is the closest that I have been able to come to a meal in Pittsburgh that even resembles a meal in San Francisco.
Open Table for my reservation....check.
Found plenty of free street parking on a Sunday eve....check.
Plenty of seating available for a 6pm reservation....check.
Didn't know they had a patio! Beautiful upstairs setting for a warm summer evening. It appears they also have a gas heater on the patio for chilling nights of dining as well.
I started with a chopped salad.....very San Francisco....mango, cucumber, papaya, mint, avocado, cashews and a miso dressing.
The waitress brought over, "complements of the kitchen", a yellow/orange saucy cucumber sampling with pita squares. Not bad for just a taste.
I ordered the Alaskan Halibut which was amazing. Not the absolute best I've ever had, but it was pretty high up there on the list....especially in a city where fried foods are the norm. And there was plenty on my plate to fill me up...no room for dessert.
I would definitely return, especially if entertaining out-of-towners.
