| - We were excited to try this out, but I'd really give it 2.5 stars if I could.
The ambiance is low cost bar furniture with modern art on the walls. Not that it's bad, it's clean, simple, but the style doesn't mix well with the rest of their branding. It does seem like the art may have been from local artists which is great! There was also a gentleman playing guitar, which was nice.
The service was very good. Our waiter did an excellent job giving us the low down of the menu and drinks. Which leads us into our problem area. We tried two things he recommended, the mac and cheese (with shrimp because he said we just 'had' to and the deep fried Italian rolls). We were all about the recommendations since the menu is seriously all over he board and things that could be simple were made extreme in some way.
The deep fried Italian rolls were good, you did feel yourself gaining weight, but good none the less. We were hungry so not sure if we would enjoy it as much on a normal day. Then the mac and cheese came, ugh. The 'cheese' was runny/watery and the noodles could've been cooked longer. The 4 dollar addition to add the shrimp was ridiculous for the tiny tiny shrimp. We were bummed because we wanted to love a place like this.
There is a great beer selection so we may come back for a beverage or two, but won't be eating here anytime soon. Or we will have to try something else.
Why can't Fox Chapel have a nice local, low key, bar/restaurant?!
