| - It has been several months since I was last at Dive so I thought it was time for an update, particularly after the service experience I had last night which was awesome! My friend and I arrived during happy hour, which is 5-7 M-Th, and the specials I took note of were the $2 off craft drafts and the 1/2 off apps. It was pretty busy but we snagged a table and were brought menus within a minute or two of us sitting down. Our server, Kelly, was super friendly and on point throughout our time there. She also made sure, since it was about 6:40 when we arrived, that we got an appetizer in before happy hour. I had a Bell's Oberon and my friend had a Rogue double bock, both were good and our first drinks were $2 off each due to the happy hour special. For our appetizer, I went back to the same appetizer I frequently order because it's just my favorite-the buffalo chicken egg rolls. My previous review described these so I don't feel the need to go into detail, but they were quite tasty! For our meals, I chose the Mediterranean wrap (described as a balsamic glazed portabella cap rolled with feta , artichoke hearts, kalamata olives, roasted red peppers, and mixed field greens, drizzled with greek vinagrette). This is a veggie friendly meal, however, I chose to add chicken to it, which was a $2 upcharge. I chose sweet potato tots as my side because the cinnamon sugar butter is freaking insanely addicting and fabulously delicious! While the flavors were quite good and the wrap was very tasty, it was quite messy and the tortilla did not hold all of the ingredients together properly. It was very difficult to pick up and eat so I knife-and-forked it. They should have used a thicker tortilla in my opinion, but again, that is a minor complaint as the actual taste was excellent. Also my portion of tots was nearly microscopic, however, I was so full from this wrap that I didn't mind. Plus, I look at the tots more as a spoon for the cinnamon sugar butter anyways :) My friend ordered the black and bleu burger (described as seasoned with blackened spice, topped with bacon, buffalo sauce, and blue cheese crumbles) with sweet potato tots as well. While I didn't sample the burger, he left his plate clean and said it was a "really good burger". Since my last review, I have sampled quite a few items other than what I tried last night and I have been happy with everything I have ordered. Other recommendations that I have enjoyed include: the thai chicken wrap (which held together better than the med. wrap), the salmon blt and then some (I had this as a sandwich instead of a wrap, which you can do for any wrap and vice versa on sandwiches), and the turkey gouda melt (this is STILL one of the best turkey sandwiches I have had in the Pittsburgh area-and the addition of the mushrooms on it is a perfect combination!) Our bill for 3 beers, an app, and two sandwiches/burgers came to $40.00-pretty good deal in my book! If you're ever in the Wexford area, I'd say this is one of the better non-chain establishments out that way and I'd recommend giving it a try!
