| - I have been wanting to try this restaurant for quite awhile, so I finally made a reservation, and I couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised. There were a few couples that did not have a reservation that walked right in, but it was full by the time we left.
First of all, it is a truly elegant little space, quite out of place in Beechview. The server greeted us warmly and invited us to sit wherever we preferred. She was kind and attentive throughout the entire meal. I have many food allergies, and when I told her this she immediately shared this with the chef. He marked a menu with the best options for me, and said that in the future I should email them before a reservation and they will create a meal that I can eat. What wonderful service!
We began with the Charcuterie plate, which was simply amazing. There was different kinds of spiced pork as well as lamb (no beef as I am allergic). The mustard, olives, and pecans rounded it out nicely. I had the smoked pork chop which was perfectly cooked. Do no expect Meat and Potatoes sized portions, but to expect exquisite care in preparation and presentation of all dishes. My boyfriend had the rabbit sausage, which he also enjoyed.
I cannot wait to return to this lovely little restaurant. It is BYOB, so pick up your favorite bottle of wine before you go!
