| - I don't know how I managed to just visit this cafe for the firs time after having lived in Pittsburgh for four years, and having been a vegetarian for twenty. Nice to go out to eat and be able to choose from anything on the menu, rather than find the one vegetarian thing on the menu.
My husband had been here for lunch, but for some reason it just hadn't made it on to our dinner circuit yet. So glad we made it, because we'll definitely be frequent patrons now!
I have a hard time describing the decor inside, but it was perfect.... clean looking, modern paint and decor.... just a very nice ambiance, jazz playing, & nice lighting. We went in on a Saturday night around 5pm, and there was a table of six already there, and another couple came in later. I like that it was NOT loud, busy and crazy in this restaurant. So relaxing, and calm.
Our waiter was friendly. I can agree with other reviews that said the service was slow, so I wouldn't go if you are in a rush. My husband said he went on lunch break once and was 45 minutes late getting back to work. The service wasn't that slow when we were there, but it definitely wasn't speedy. This isn't something I mind though. It was more of a chance to enjoy the environment, and spend time talking.
Our food was pretty amazing, and the portion sizes were big. We started baked brie. This was seasonally done, with cinnamon, clove and apple. This was my favorite part of the meal! So delish. For entrees, I had the perogie lasagna and my husband had the quiche. After such a large appetizer, I was only able to eat half of my entree but my husband still had room to devour his entire plate. Perogie lasagna was gooey, hot and definitly a winter comfort food. I noticed on the menu online perogie lasagna isn't listed... so maybe they change things up slightly for the seasons?
I think anyone could find something they like on the menu really. It's worth the drive if you want to find someplace new to eat. It's definitely worth checking out if you are already in the Waterfront and don't want to eat at a big chain restaurant.
