So I've been dying to try this restaurant since I moved to Pittsburgh. I heard a few random people raving about the delicious food, great happy hour, and quality wait staff. So I finally had a night where I could get downtown without "rush hour" giving me grief.
I called my best friend and asked him to accompany me. It's always a good idea to have someone in your circle who is as honest as you are, eats as much as you, and can toss a few back as well.
We sat towards the back of the restaurant at a table for two as all booths were currently occupied. Our waitress was phenomenal and I recall what she looks like but her name is escaping me. She gave great suggestions for us first-timers, ordered us another round before happy hour was over, and told us to come back for dessert.
We started off we the calamari. I didn't care for one of the sauces, but the calamari itself was delicious and crispy. Then for our I ordered the Clam and Shrimp Pasta and he ordered the Seared Shrimp and Scallpp Risotto. My mouth watered with every bit. We were so stuffed and happy that we went out for cocktails after. Compliments were given to the chef because he/she did not disappont.
My stomach applauds Ten Penny, our waitress, and the kitchen staff !
