This place is awesome and was one of my favorite spots that my friend took me to while I was visiting Pittsburgh the other weekend! (Other favorite spot was Umami) I wish that more cities had something like this to get local restauranteurs up and running; I am actually really surprised that Seattle doesn't have something similar! And if they do, you should reply here on my post so I can go there and eat immediately!
I was with a large group of people and since the space is so big, there was plenty of room for all of us. We got there fairly early in the day, so the food was just getting up and running and we had a few cocktails while we waited. The Smallman Galley Bar puts their drink menus in old VHS cassette cases- is that genius or what? I love when people recycle stuff like that- makes it a little more memorable. What was not memorable was the cocktail that I had because I had already been drinking. I just remember that it was good as hell and every one of my friend's drinks that I had was good also.
The food from the restaurants is a little pricey, but I tried some of the steak tartare from Brunoise and I could have eaten an entire platter of it if the opportunity existed.
Great location, great concept, and delicious food/drink. Definitely need to try this place if you haven't!
