| - My friend and I walked up to Pitch from our nearby neighborhood for lunch today and we both thought it was excellent. We sat inside, which was tastefully decorated and the music in the background wasn't too loud. They have a great dog-friendly outdoor patio (with heaters) and a corn hole game nearby. One reviewer complained that it wasn't good for date night because the tables were all large tables, not smaller more intimate seating arrangements. On the patio they do have couches and small tables that would serve, and inside there are several smaller tables.
As to the food, the grill-roasted artichoke appetizer with hummus and tomatoes was surprisingly flavorful and the serving size certainly was enough for 2. I had the beet salad, which was large and boasted a broad variety of greens, thinly sliced beets and goat cheese. The topper of a phillo dough "roll" filled with goat cheese would have made me happy all by itself. (Hey, chef -- how about an entire plate of those as an appetizer???) My friend had a burger with sauteed mushrooms and cheddar and said it was delicious and very filling. The side salad had a similar variety of greens but also included garbanzo beans, which was a nice touch. She asked for her burger cooked medium and it came back cooked exactly that.
Our server (Cooper) was personable and knew her way around the menu. (I never remember my server's name after I leave a restaurant, sadly. But Cooper -- I'll remember.) Pitch is not inexpensive, but the food sure seemed worth it to me. We didn't try pizza or sandwiches this time, but we'll be back to experiment more. As a footnote, I told Cooper that I was going alcohol free for Lent but wanted something non-alcoholic but more interesting than soda. I got a cranberry juice and seltzer. Other places I've been have charged $4.50 just for seltzer water. Pitch rang up my drink as a coke and charged me $2. Much appreciated! Good luck, Pitch. So glad to have you in the neighborhood.
