| - I was walking downtown on an anomaly of a beautiful winter night in Pittsburgh. I just got in from Los Angeles and I was looking for something light and healthy to eat. I was enjoying the process of walking around and looking at all of the options and variety in Market Square, when I happened upon Hello Bistro. From the outside I could already tell it had healthy options that I would be interested in. It also looked pretty busy on the inside so I always take that as a good sign. I waited in line for a little bit as there was a few people in front of me, that gave me a chance to read through the menu and make my choice. I decided to build my own salad. Once I got to the register, it appeared that the cashier had something else to do so I waited at the register for a while. When she got back, she took my order and I paid. Yet, nobody ever made my salad. I waited for about 20 minutes and she apologized and said "it was busy." I finally got my salad about a half hour later to go. I chose mixed greens and salmon with vegetables, crunchies, and a squeezed lemon and apple cider vinaigrette dressing. It was delicious but there was so much lettuce I could barely taste the good stuff. Maybe that's how some people prefer their salad, I would rather have a small bed of lettuce and a lot of veggies and meat. The next morning, I was craving a breakfast sandwich and I was working at Point Park University. Hello Bistro is right down the street, I went and got their California breakfast sandwich. I was the only one in there, they had just opened and the girl was just prepping the food. It's took me about 10 minutes in total. There's also a restroom there that you need the code for. The prices are very reasonable. I paid $13 for my salad because I had to pay extra for salmon and avocado, and my breakfast sandwich was only six dollars. I live in Los Angeles so these prices seemed extremely reasonable to me. They do have indoor seating, but most people were getting theirs to go. The breakfast sandwich was way better than the salad, however I still probably won't return, I would take it or leave it! It is an easy solution and quick fix if you're in a hurry.
