| - I find places to eat sometimes by purely seeing which few spots are the "most reviewed " in an area. This was #1 in Pittsburgh, so I went!
Appearance: I drove RIGHT by this place once because I couldn't see the signs in the windows for it. Lol. It's a surprisingly small, quaint, cozy gastropub tucked into the first floor of which looks to be an office building that you have to walk through a lobby to get to. The big windows at the back of the restaurant unfortunately face the side of another building, but the 2 giant ones at the front give you a decent view of the street. It's all street parking, so good luck with that.
Atmosphere: I LOVED it here! OMG! The giant, high ceilings, the interesting light fixtures, the staff uniforms and the freaking mirrors that curved with the walls were awesome. It was hype in there! Loud, but a good loud, like people were having fun loud, but you could still talk to the person next to you or more importantly, the bartender! I enjoyed that the bar was the center piece of the whole establishment and everything basically was designed around it! It just made so much sense.
Service: Blake took amazing care of me. Great conversationalist, made good recommendations and he made me feel so welcomed there. He was attentive and amazingly friendly which just made my experience that much better.
Food: I started with their Hot Cider which comes with a shot of Crown Royal Apple. It was absolutely delicious. I could barely taste the alcohol... so I added more, quite a bit more. Lol. Blake raved about the Smoked Wings here, so I just HAD to try them. 12 for $14.00 in a place like this, so I thought it was a great deal and OMG. They were AMAZING. I'd pay regular price for these all day long. They're smoked for like 630 hours, tossed in their whiskey buffalo sauce, fried, then tossed in that sauce again. They come out in a skillet on a wooden plank topped with green onions with your choice of sauce. Huge wings. Like, when I tell you I was going to eat these then move right on to the main course, these wings stopped me dead in my tracks. I had to force the last 2 down and was so glad I ordered them.
Value: Looking at the menu there was a bit of sticker shock. Meatloaf for $25.00, Roasted Chicken for $25.00 and their famous 45 oz. Ribeye al la carte for $75.00. Things were a bit pricey, but for what I paid for MY meal (partly why I went with cheaper options) I felt it was a great value. Perhaps if I'm feelin' spendy, I'll splurge on one of the more expensive entrees.
In conclusion, this is totally somewhere you have to come check out. I had a great time here all by myself sitting at the bar and just hanging out. You won't regret it.
