I was visiting Mount Lebanon and Bistro 19 certainly looked like the "nice place" in town. I was there on a Tuesday night, and every table was accounted for so I took a seat at the bar.
I ordered a pumpkin ale (yum) and the autumn penne. But unlike the scrumptious description of the penne on the menu, I found myself eating a fairly bland penne alfredo-alike with some supermarket-tasting chicken sausage on top.
I think it's one thing to be a nice place and it's one thing to have pretty descriptions and combinations on your menu, but another for your food to taste as good as it sounds. And as far as taste went, the food just didn't live up to what I expected.
