| - Nice to see another option in Market Square. After dinner here with colleagues, I was pleased, but not bowled over. Among the things in the "plus" column: good range on the menu- something for everyone- a tasty beer list, and a small but cozy patio (with heat for those chilly nights). My dining companions and I were generally pleased with our fare. I had salmon with mashed potato and veggies; also on the table were barbecued brisket, the pork chop, and a burger. All were solid, although my potatoes were a tad dry. More dairy, please.
In the "minus" column: sometimes scattered service (I asked a couple of times for a second beer- don't delay my beer consumption after a long workday, damnit), and some order confusion. My salmon initially came out with a side salad. Do I look like an Atkins follower? No, I look like the carb addict that I am. I need my mashers. The atmosphere inside is welcoming, but it seems to be suffering an identity crisis, as Rachel C. mentions. Sports bar? Pub? Dunno. This establishment is pretty new, so I'll cut them some slack. I hope they've ironed out their issues when I take my next business trip to Pittsburgh. I'm definitely willing to try it again.
