Ribeye phenomena:
This is definitely a unique dish that you probably won't experience somewhere else. It's designed for two big hungry dudes or 2 steelers maybe. It's a 34 oz bone-in ribeye topped with mushroom Ragu, bone marrow gratin and confit fries. FYI, for metric system folks, 34 oz ~ 1 kg. Warning: it's a giant dish!. We boxed half of it. Seriously, you can't order this if you're going out on a date with a delicate fine lady. It looks exactly like a dinner for a Viking king. People sitting around us were curiously uninhibitedly staring at the dish. It was delicious! Although I wasn't a fan of the mushrooms on top. The meat was perfectly cooked, juicy and tender. Bone marrow was wonderful!. Confit fries were not good. They were hard, overcooked, soaked with fat and bland. My suggestion for improvement is to eliminate the fries or use regular fries like McDonald's. Some people like the mushrooms topping, personally I think it was unnecessary. A good steak doesn't need any topping other than salt and pepper.
We walked in around 5 pm without a reservation. Waited for 45 minutes, spent it walking around the pretty Cultural District. Pittsburgh has a Chicago or New York touch. Atmosphere here is classic. Bar area is in the middle and seats are around it in a rectangle shape. We asked the waitress to change our seats from a tiny table to a bigger one. That was thankfully granted.
During my brisk visit with Pittsburgh, I wanted to pay one of my good friends back. He genuinely showed extraordinary hospitality. You can never pay nice people back. But it was a good hint coming here.
