| - On my epic voyage to Pittsburgh we had had friends take us via car (fancy) to a little district called the Strip. It's a unique, thriving little area that has definitely developed over the past few years. My sister says it was a completely different place ten years ago. You'll see vendors with fresh produce, breads, meats, cheeses, flowers, etc. Free samples from restaurants. Antiquing galore. I was digging it. Then we stopped in this restaurant to regroup everyone together for a drink and lunch.
I wasn't particularly starving so opted to split a dish with my sister. It was a vegetable Paella and it was most def. pretty delicious. There were chunks of fresh zucchini, pineapple, peas, carrots and melded well together. If I were more hungry I would have totally got this SUPER DELICIOUS looking slow cooked pork sandwich with banana! The guy across from me was eating it and he looked like he was creaming his pants over it. He said the banana and pork just melted together. A few people got the non-vegetarian paella, which looked better but more filling: chorizo, chicken, mussels, shrimp, scallops. A full freaking meal. They enjoyed it. Someone else had fish tacos and they looked supreme.
Drinks were pretty tasty too. I had a fancy mango mai tai. Only complaint is really the price for their cocktails is a little up there. $10 for a drink that was exceptionally fruity and not very strong is very New York. I was hoping for something very Pittsburgh. Second complaint is that the bathroom was a little way too dark. I almost couldn't find the toilet paper after coming in from the glaring sun to a low red lit bathroom. But that's not a biggie. This is a solid restaurant.
