| - I've come here twice for breakfast with my night shift colleagues after a long night at the hospital. Located at the intersection of 55th Street and Butler Street, the low-profile stone building houses the bar that boasts its tasty fish sandwiches. I walked in and the faint scent of fried fish hits my nose immediately. The bar and long bar table is along the right wall and the seating area, TV, and jukebox are along the left. There were christmas lights lining the walls, even though it was not that season. I spotted the signs to the restrooms, which were to the back and down the stairs.
We seated ourselves and were greeted by one of the employees (Dale was his name, I think). He introduced himself, the bar, and showed us the menu. The menu has two sides. The first side showed the breakfast menu (a la carte breakfast items, breakfast sandwiches, omelettes), sandwiches, cold sandwiches, and beverages (including beer and wine). The second side showed side items, salads, seafood (including their famous fish sandwich), burgers, hot dogs, and chicken. Many of their selections are relatively inexpensive; the most expensive item I've seen was their seafood platter for $13.50 and comes with fish fillet, crab cake, oysters, two shrimp, french fries, and coleslaw.
My group and I chose our drinks (I ordered the Angry Orchard hard apple cider) and food (I got the veggie omelette with cheese and breakfast potatoes without toast). Our drinks came very quickly. I took a sip of the Angry Orchards and I really loved it. Our food, however, took some time to arrive, probably because we had eight people in our group. Also, I think there was only one chef working at that time. So, considering these factors, I didn't get very upset, and within 30-45 minutes, all our food came.
I tried my breakfast potatoes and they were good like any breakfast potatoes. I cut into my omelette and saw good amount of vegetables. However, I was disappointed that the cheese they used was a slice of American cheese, which was placed right in the center of the folded-over omelette. It added an odd flavor to the omelette. I think I would have liked it better had I gotten it without the cheese.
Everyone else ordered omelettes--cheese omelette, western omelette--and breakfast sandwiches--egg sandwich, bacon and egg...with an extra side of bacon (haha). They all looked good, and the bacon was cooked very well and crispy.
This bar is well outside the route I would take to go home (Shadyside) from Lawrenceville. I wasn't blown away by the food or the ambience. I should probably try their other menu items. However, I can't envision myself coming here other than to decompress after a long stretch of night shifts with my colleagues.
