| - Meat & Potatoes, the name says it all!
So after catching a review for this on the food network a year ago I have been going crazy wanting to go here and try the "Meat on a plate with potatoes for 2" haha.
So first off let me say this, this place is small, but very nice! The waiting area has very comfortable couches and the waitstaff are amazing.
The seats at the table are tall-back chairs that are quite possibly the most comfortable chairs I've ever sat in, after our meal I just wanted to take a nap in the chair.
Anyways onto the food and staff.
Our waiter was awesome, very attentive and left a bottle of water at the table. I love this and wish more places did this. Being able to serve ourselves more water and having you replace the entire bottle is the best idea, wish more restaurants would do this. He had great suggestions, knew how things tasted on the menu and really made our night.
The food.
Well obviously we had the steak for two with steak frites and bone marrow. The steak was HUGE, enough for 3 people!!! It was not only cooked perfect but the flavors were out of this world. It was tender, juicy and was perfectly seasoned.
The steak frites were huge and tasted great but the winner here was the marrow. I LOVE bone marrow. This is like the food from heaven. I love spreading it on bread, or in this case, my fries!
We ordered a few sides including the poutine and fried pickles. So the "Snacks" are as big as appetizers but come at half the price. The poutine was perfect. The fries were crunchy and salty, the gravy very meaty and the cheese curds were actual curds! They did in fact squeak on your teeth haha. The poutine was exactly as I hoped it would be.
The fried pickles are chips, but they are THICK and I mean THICK. The pickle itself had an amazing pickling, I'm not quite sure what they used but it was great!
Overall this place exceeded my expectations and the next time I'm in Pittsburgh I am definitely coming back!
