| - This restaurant will find no shortage of rave reviews. They know most people come here to celebrate a special occasion. The beautiful Pittsburgh skyline at night, is an amazing backdrop for dinner. And the staff is excellent in complementing the evening with friendly service.
The $70/per chef's tasting was pretty good. Each selection, apps, fish, meat, and desert have 3 choices, so if you're with another person, you'll likely get 2 out of 3 dishes offered. Some of the flavor profiles were pretty great, but a tad salty for our tastes. One of our fish dishes was the Cobia, and we sent it back because we thought it was still frozen. We're not sure - we were told it was cooked to medium-rare, but we couldn't even cut through the fish - and it was ice cold in the middle. So I still don't know if it wasn't cooked right, or we just don't know how to eat Cobia.
Some other hiccups in the service, included the wrong glass of wine, and actually the wrong meat course. I had ordered the lamb but got the short rib. I didn't say anything about the short rib, because, c'mon, who doesn't love short rib? Regardless, that many mistakes from such a high-end restaurant is surprising and disappointing.
We still had a very pleasant experience, but I think felt a little wanting for more of a wow factor from the food.
