| - When my job first moved our offices to nearby Market Square from the USX Tower, my co-workers and I were heartbroken. Aside from the Primanti Bros, The Oyster House, Dunkin Donuts and Bruegger's Bagels, you were hard pressed to find anything else.
Fast forward a few years and when I was moved back to the USX Tower, I was devastated. Most of the restaurant choices of my dreams were in or around Market Square and I would now have to hike to get to any of them. So needless to say, I was dismayed that yet another new restaurant was opening near Market Square and I was posted near a vast restaurant wasteland. (Yes, there are restaurants in my office complex, but the variety is not that varied and how many time scan you eat the same things over and over and over, again?) Anyhow, I went to lunch at Revel + Roost with a friend of mine and neither of us had been there. She ordered the Market Vegetable Salad (Single-$7) with seasonal vegetables, romaine and endive spears, goat cheese, peppercress, honey dijon vinaigrette and added grilled salmon.($10). I ordered the Salmon Sandwich ($12) served on a brioche bun with lettuce, tomato and house made tartar sauce. My friend also ordered the House-made Chips and I ordered the Hand-cut Fries with Garlic and fresh grated Parmesan cheese.
I must return to suck up additional food and ambiance.
We both loved our food and we loved the service... And just like me, my friend is a sucker for décor aesthetics. Why can't we have anything like this in the eastern suburbs???
Pittsburgh is really stepping up their restaurant game. Thank you Jesus for restaurants like this and others for not subjecting us to endless rounds of pizza!
