| - Exceptional.
It took me three tries to get a reservation (almost unheard of in Pittsburgh).
But - third time was a charm.
I always am worried about BYOB restaurants, that they're one week away from closing because they don't make enough money. So I always have managed expectations.
Avenue B OVER DELIVERED. We ate outside, so I can't comment on the full atmosphere. But the service was outstanding. From the person taking reservations, to the host, to our server.
The menu changes daily, but I was pleased with both the few regulars on the menu and the selection of the unique items.
I was with two friends and we had the beef, pork chop, as well as ravioli. I'm under delivering on my descriptions to you - but they were amazing. They did everything well.
There was a guy at the table next to ours who was freaking out about his steak. From eavesdropping, I believe he wanted it still mooing. I'm not sure if he was eventually satisfied with their response, but after addressing several times - I'm amazed at the lengths the staff was going to, to make sure he was properly served.
Meal was pricey, but I didn't think over the top. Additionally because it is BYOB - that cut my bill down by 60% anyway. Well worth it!
Also, I accidentally left my credit card there - and they were soooo helpful about returning it.
I can't wait to go back again.
