| - Talking with a friend Friday night, I mentioned that I was going out to dinner with my mom in Shadyside. He asked me where I was going and I replied "I honestly cannot remember where we decided to go." He promptly said, "Oh, Avenue B!" I looked at him, wondering where he acquired the ability to fetch memories I had forgotten, and exclaimed "Oh my Gosh. Yes! How did you know that?!" To which he replied "Everyone always forgets about Avenue B."
Well, yes, I've been here several times now, but this trip was thoroughly unforgettable. We started with the pork belly. My mom was convinced she didn't like pork belly prior to this experience. It was barbequed and served with a miso slaw and potato chips. She has since changed her mind on pork belly. It was perfect.
Then we shared the pork medallions and their signature dish, the meatloaf. Both were outstanding. I did prefer the pork medallions over the meatloaf, you really have to be a lover of goat cheese to enjoy the potatoes that come with the meatloaf, but both were really wonderful.
And really, who doesn't love a BYOB. Also, these are Pittsburgh portions that they serve here, so you will not be leaving hungry.
