I had a great experience here the other night. We were in town and feeling a bit under the weather. We decided on this place, but I was hesitant due to it being a chain. I wanted a real Pittsburgh place.
We get to the restaurant just before our reservation and are seated in moments. The hostess was very nice. The waitress came along in a very timely manner and was also as nice as can be. Everything got off to a great start.
I ordered the Steelhead (It's Alaskan, but sounded Pittsburgh), a bowl of New England Chowder and a beer. The chowder was delicious. Creamy, meaty and oh so good. The steelhead was absolutely wonderful. Tender, moist, delicious. It came with spinach that was also very good, not overdone or over buttered.
We found we were very full and didn't go for dessert, although I did take an Irish coffee. Very good in place of a dessert.
Don't skip this place if you are in the area.
