| - Barely ok place. Great, intimate first floor bar. I'm sure happy hour there is a blast. Second floor restaurant is nice. Menu selection for the location and atmosphere is rather disappointing. Pretty much local safety food. Nothing risky. Reuben, quesadilla, sliders, etc...
I was expecting more as I didn't do my homework before I went. I took my GF there for her birthday for lunch. they added the moniker "steel city" to the quesadilla's. not really any different than a traditional tex-mex quesadilla. tortilla, cheese and sides of sour cream, salsa and guac. not sure where "steel city" comes into play. same with the "pittsburgher" hamburger. just a burger. maybe it was the addition of Heinz ketchup, but then wouldnt every burger, everywhere be a "pittsburgher?"
Though nice, the service staff weren't too bright when it came to guest respect and were somewhat "baby huey-ish." In an empty restaurant, we were sat in the corner, which was good but when the server took our order, he asked us if we wanted separate checks. ??? We did walk in holding hands and I did have my arm around her while the hostess was getting menus and the server watched us get seated at his table. the katy perry song coming from the radio in the kitchen was alright though. Then the next couple that came in, they were sat right next to us at the closest table... In an empty restaurant.
i ordered the reuben. it was tasty and had all the ingredients but only a couple slices of reuben. very thin sandwich. chips that came with were pretty good. Though I wasn't making out with the GF, it was her birthday in a semi-intimate setting and I was giving her a kiss and the server interrupted us and asked if everything was going ok. like i said, baby huey.
i'm a price per portion type of person. the cost of the food should match what youre getting. small portions. $9 for reuben. fine for a bigger sandwich. not for here. Cheque was just the slip of paper face down on the table. No cheque book. Not even one when I paid with my card. just a few pieces of paper and a pen thrown on the table. my advice is if you want better food and more quantity for a few bucks less and service that is a little better, primantis is right around the corner.
