| - This is a very difficult review for me. I've been an enthusiastic, boastful, bragging regular customer of The Gandy Dancer for many, many years.. Great food, great drinks and the ambience; can't find better. I was very excited to take my partner for drinks and dinner tonite before the Riverhounds Soccer game.
Wow! What a disappointment! Sparse crowd, but less restaurants (Joe's Crab Shack, Hard Rock, etc) had a 35-40 minute wait? Our waitress wasn't the best, very loopy, spacey, wasn't sure about the menu. She forgot parts of our order; the order was wrong, and we asked for water several times. She probably could be better (efficient??) with more training? But she's not working at McDonalds? My partner ordered the fried fish dinner; very tasty. I ordered salad, with no onions, and honey mustard dressing and the scallop appetizer. I recd salad with sliced onions and house dressing? I Didn't return, because I didn't want to wait. But the "Dynamite scallop" appetizer was the biggest disappointment! 5 1/2 shell; scallops crab encrusted; basil drizzle. But I recd 5 1/2 shells with 2 dime size scallops( maybe smaller) on 3 shells and 1 tiny scallop on 2 shells. I had to re look at the menu questioning "crab encrusted" that didn't exist?
Placed on black paper with shredded "something" in the middle? So sad; this was my go to place for friends, family, and anyone asking where to eat? Management needs to be more on top of what is going on. No complaints about the bartenders-great!
Tourists with children want a place to eat; not a kid friendly menu? Will I return, absolutely, it's a Pittsburgh tradition, but will question the quality of the food. Now, too many other restaurant choices.
