| - I came here as my going-away dinner in Pgh. I picked the place just becuase of its name (well from a shortlist of restaurants that got picked because of their menu).
Libations:
I had the El Segundo, which is sweet but you can smell the jalapeno floating on the drink with each sip. Truly delicious! I also stole a sip from my friend's Up in Smoke which was equally good, despite having whiskey which I am not a fan of. I decided to be good and stick to just one drink since I had to drive home.
Snacks:
We had the ahi tuna, fried chicken livers, devils on horseback and poutine. My fave was the ahi tuna, but I just love raw fish! Everything was truly deletable, the poutine was an experience.
Dinner:
I got the braised lamb shank and that night instead of the polenta, they were serving beans and greens with bacon. Mmm, who doesn't like bacon? the lamb shank was oh-so-good! the portion sizes here are huge, I stuffed my face and had enough leftovers to stuff my face again for lunch.
Service/Atmosphere:
Service was good, nothing to complain. The place is busy, which I love. Love the energy there!
We couldn't have done dessert even if we wanted to. I almost had to be rolled down the street to home. Happily rolled.
