| - My fiance and I came here for the first time on Restaurant week. It was pretty crowded for a Wednesday night, which to me is a good and bad sign. Good bc it means people like the place and bad if there was a wait, which there was no wait but it could be bc we made reservations. The strange part to me (which made me give a 4/5 stars) was when we were seated, the host ushered us to one of the long tables by the bar, which already had customers dining and the host wanted us to sit in between the other diners. We didn't know that it was like that, and it would've been fine to dine with others except we really wanted to be able to talk to each other that night without having to scream or have less privacy. We did decide we'll just dine by the stools across from the bar. I think when making reservations, the host should ask if guests are comfortable sitting with others before seating them there bc after an hour or so of sitting on the bar stools, it was definitely uncomfortable. They could've offered to seat us somewhere else being that we did make reservations and I saw there were empty tables.
That aside, I did like the decor and atmosphere. The food is one of the best I've had in pittsburgh. I travel a lot and have tried a lot of food in other major cities and this place is definitely one to brag for pitt! For starters, I had the oxtail french onion soup, which I do recommend but there were parts that were tough to eat bc some of the toasted bread was burnt. The fiance had a salad. I forgot which one. For pasta dish, I had the mac and cheese, which was so creamy and tasty. Fiance had the braised rabbit pappardelle. It was yummy! tasted like dark meat chicken. We enjoyed the pasta dishes. My fave was the entree. I had the fish with the wasabi mashed. The fish was perfectly cooked. Seems to be seared on the outside but it's like butter. Tasteful butter. Haha. Really thoughtful dish! The flavors blended so well on this dish. Eventhough the portion was small, I enjoyed every bite of it and it was just enough if you had the pasta dish. Fiance had the roasted chicken with the mushrooms, creamed brussels and grapes, which was also a very good. for dessert, I had the deep fried brownie which was a beer battered peanut butter brownie with peanut praline and bananas served with bittersweet chocolate. I'm a chocoholic, so it was divine to me. Fiance had the coconut cream cheese ice cream on carrot cake with candied pineapples, which again is so creative and delish! If you love whiskey, you should try this place as they have different varieties of aged whiskey. My fiance tried a flight but beware of the price. I didn't know whiskey was that expensive. It was $75 for 3 whiskey "shots," which were 10, 12, 30 yr old whiskey, but he said he enjoyed it. I think other flights were less than that. tried a non-alcoholic drink, which wasn't that great to me for the price. Overall, the food was definitely amazing at this place and would definitely recommend. The chef should join food network's chopped bc the dishes he made were delicious and creative!
