Took a date night in Pittsburgh over the holidays. Made a reservation for 2 a week in advance, which was a good thing because the place was booked solid.
After getting very good cocktails at the bar (sloe gin fizz and glenshaw sour) we were seated at exactly 7p. Not a big restaurant - it's one big room, high ceilings, with the bar at the center and tables around the edges and had a nice lively feel.
Draft list was on a chalkboard on the wall, and had some great seasonal and local selections. Only special was the mussels of the day, which looked good but we're not mussels people.
Started with pate, which was an ample portion, and the seasonal salad, both hit the spot. Lamb burger was good-sized and excellent. Korean Reuben could have used a little more kimchi since it really did go well with the corn beef, but it was an interesting and enjoyable (and large) sandwich. Couldn't even finish all the french fries served with each sandwich since we wanted dessert. We went with gingerbread cake which was fresh and delicious but we couldn't help thinking it would have been better after 10 seconds in a microwave. They brought it with a candle since we were celebrating my husband's birthday.
Service was professional and friendly and the server was helpful with beer and food selections. We were happy with the prices we paid which were very reasonable for the quantity and quality of what we got. We are partial to gastropubs in general and this was a very good one - would recommend to anyone to try.
