  • I have had my heart set on trying this place ever since I first moved here! Seriously, I had a bit of a nerdgasm as soon as I saw the NaCl sign on the side of the building. Even so, for the longest time I honestly thought it was a design firm until I heard enough buzz around town about it. Upon checking out the reviews from Yelp (but of course!), I not-so-subtly dropped about 50 hints to my boyfriend that I wanted to go here for my birthday dinner. Having only driven by it rather hastily, seeing their unique layout and style in person was a pleasant surprise. The downstairs area is for walk-in dining while the upstairs seems pretty exclusively for reservations (we dined upstairs). I adored the larger than life chalkboard menu that changes on a daily basis! Only downside to it is that I have to awkwardly stand over someone else's table so I can actually read it, but then again, I'm a little blind. As for the food, I started with the lettuce wraps, continued into the chicken, and polished it all off with the white chocolate. The lettuce wraps were amazing! As a (most-of-the-time) vegetarian, I've had my fair share of good soy protein and bad soy protein, and this was cooked perfectly. The combination of yogurt and lemon flavors balanced out the saltiness of the soy protein, which sat nicely atop a bed of fresh, crunchy lettuce. Loved it! The chicken (remember how I said most-of-the-time vegetarian?) - not bad. While I greatly appreciated their experimentation in flavors, the chicken itself was a bit... toothsome. It certainly could've benefited from a bit more tenderness and slow-cooking, though the watermelon, popcorn, and huitlacoche were delicious. It was certainly unique, not to mention incredibly rich in flavor. Lastly, I finished off with the white chocolate - a pleasant goat's milk ice cream surrounded by circles of white chocolate and drizzled in lavender honey and crunchy oats (?). Considering how much I love dessert, I was a bit surprised that I wasn't completely overtaken by it (it's not too hard to win over this one!). Overall, pleasant experience in a trendy dining environment. Service was great, so no bones to pick with that. Definitely worth a trip if you're interested in creative cooking/contemporary dining in Pittsburgh!
