| - Before moving to Pittsburgh three years ago, I used to fly up for work. I happened to go there one day for lunch and really enjoyed the food. So, needless to say, I would make this place a regular stop every time I flew up here. I even took other people who traveled with me. They enjoyed it as well. So much so, they would bring groups there for dinner after training. Always enjoyed talking to Nick the owner and enjoyed the food.
Why the 2 stars? Well, when I was travelling, I signed up for their "club" and would receive coupons in the mail. One night, after moving here, my wife and I decided to go there for dinner. The service was slow, and when I went to use the "Birthday Coupon", Nick comes to our table, doesn't recognize me even after having eaten at his restaurant no less than 15-20 times, and then tells me that the coupon isn't for meals. Nowhere on this coupon does it have any such disclaimer.
Then, my family came up for a visit and they want to go somewhere to eat. It was about 4:30 on a Thursday and we go in and ask for a table. Nick asks how many and I tell him eight. He asked if I made reservations and I say, "No." He acts all put out and says, "I don't know where I'm going to put you." The restaurant was half empty! Anyway, they set us outside where it was noisy and hot. When we go to leave, there were more empty tables than people. The service was okay, but not great.
For the $ there are better restaurants around. I might go back again, but it will be a while.
