I've never given a 5 star review but this experience was worth it. We have been to excellent restaurants when we lived in NJ and DC so that is our frame of reference.
Four of us went on a Saturday night to celebrate a successful business result. It was Saturday so yes it was jammed.
We were seated within 10 minutes of our 8 pm reservation, nice. Staff was friendly in a down to earth style. Waitstaff was very attentive and non-intrusive. No greeter at entrance was awkward. We really appreciated the suggestions from our waitress.
Food portions were large, as in "Jersey diner" sort of way. Appetizers were excellent, mussels rocked. Portions were more than enough. I don't eat veal but two people at our table did and raved about it. My lamb was great.
When I made reservations I was asked if this was a special event. Liked that.
With two drinks our bill with tip, was expensive for Pittsburgh, $400+ , but it was a special occasion.
