| - One of the nicer eateries in Pittsburgh, comes at a steep price though. I felt some of our waiters were a bit douchy and pretentious at first. If you look under 25 and somebody from your party wants to order a cocktail, be prepared to show *everyone's* IDs. On the good side, they were very good about accommodating our giant party of 16 ( even if it was 6pm on a Wednesday night)
Before bringing out our food, we got these little sandwiches with onions and salmon caviar - tasty! Then came our oysters, from Long Island, served with a nice, spicy pepper sauce and some milder one. For main course, I tried the beef tenderloin, pork chop, and tuna. I ordered the beef medium and it came nicely red on the inside, leaning towards medium-rare which worked fine for me since that's what I usually go with anyway. The fingerling potatoes were a tad undercooked and hard. The pork chop was served on bacon grits, and that was the best part of that dish. The pork chop itself was bland and boring. Tuna was alright, nothing special.
For dessert, I had apricot semifreddo covered with somekindofdarkberry syrup drizzle, it was ok - tasty ice cream.
