| - We decided to try Grit & Grace to kick off our restaurant week. I was excited about the concept of this restaurant - American dim sum. There is definitely nothing else like this in the Pittsburgh area.
Our server was great, he explained the process of ordering very well. The dim sum appeared at our table, and we decided to try each one. In addition, we ordered the steam bun (with house-made mortadella and pickles) and the brisket sandwich.
Each of the various dim sum dishes were good - the pork belly bites being the stand out. I'm not quite sure the flavors were worth $5 a pop. However, our two orders off the menu were fantastic. The mortadella was a nice thick slice, and the pickles added an extra kick. The texture of the steamed bun was great too. I'd order that again.
After we consumed all the dim sum and mortadella sandwiches, we still weren't feeling satisfied. So, we opted to order one more item - the brisket sandwich. Our server raved over how amazing it was. It definitely didn't disappoint. I, personally, love Reuben sandwiches, which is what it really was. My boyfriend thrown off a bit, expecting a slice of brisket with toppings, but after a taste he agreed it was great.
The ambiance of this restaurant reminds me of something in NYC, which I really enjoyed. I'd like to reiterate how wonderful the service was. Overall, I think it's a little overpriced for the portion size, but I'll be back in the future. It's a really cool, unique place to bring out of town guests.
