Today it was my husband's turn to pick where we ate. He chose The Gandy Dancer. We had not been there in over 20 years. It is in an older historical building at Station Square. When you go in it's like walking back in time. It has all of the original dark woodwork. There are pictures of Pittsburgh dated in the early 1900s. The lighting is low and on a hot day like today it was a great setting for lunch.
Our server was Colin. He gave us the BEST customer service we've had in a long time.
My husband ordered the jambalaya. It came with a salad. I shared the salad with him and it was really good. It had romaine lettuce, purple onions, tomatoes, and cucumbers. It was dressed with a balsamic dressing. It was very fresh and very tasty. I didn't try my husband's jambalaya but he cleaned his plate. It had huge shrimp, scallops, mussels, and salmon. It looked wonderful but I'm a wimp when it comes to spiciness so I chose not to try it.
I had the Blue Crab Club sandwich. It had crab, tomatoes, bacon, lettuce, and Boursin. I asked that they leave the tomatoes off. It came with fries and coleslaw. The sandwich was very good. The crunch of the lettuce and the toast went well with the creaminess of the crab. The coleslaw was a little different than most. It had cabbage and carrots but it also had green peppers. I'm not sure what they used for dressing but it wasn't mayo or vinegar. The French fries were cooked perfectly.
I asked to see their dessert menu. Colin said all of the desserts were made on site. The Key Lime pie was tempting but I went for the Mango Sorbet. It was smooth and a perfect summer dessert. It came with a couple of raspberries and a pirouette cookie. My husband was only going to have a taste but couldn't stop at one spoonful.
We definitely won't wait another 20 years to go back.
