| - Wow, what an experience! In sum, this is a MUST GO TO PLACE. I call it an experience because it is simply that. One walks into a beautiful home complete with dining tables for lunch and shopping. The gift store is located throughout the entire establishment. It reminds me of places my mother and grandmother would take me as a child. A rich, interesting home- recreated into a storefront. Unlike those memories, this establishment has dining options. Every wall and shelf is chuck full of lovely keepsakes and decor one can purchase. The promise that everything one sees is for sale.
The wait staff is the epitome of superb service. One never has to chase down a drink refill or needs to inquire about plate removal. Also, the desserts are located in a cooler in the hallway. One can shop for keepsakes and check out the dessert offerings while waiting for their meals. No more staring at the watch waiting for food to come.
One of the pluses of a fine dining experience is simply put the experience. Said experience creates a made-to-order personalization of the clients' needs-. Hence, the creation of Michelin Star establishments throughout the world. Although, I must confess I've only dined here once, and cannot speak if this is consistent or not like those trusted Michelin Stars'. I can say that this cafe/tea room experience provides simple food made extraordinarily- which is most certainly a Michelin trait. It is not pretentious, but it is playful and invigorating. Flowers in the Attics offers the same fine dining experience, with that sought after client personalization without the fine dining prices or haughtiness. EVERY restaurant wants to say their establishment has these traits but only few actually offer it. The clientele of this establishment are NOT left longing.
For example, I ordered the one of Chef Donna's Quiche special of the day. I wanted a side salad. I was craving olives, tomatoes, and dry crumbled blue cheese. Even though their traditional side salad does not include all of these (except the choice of dry blue, I believe) the Chef was more than happy to accommodate my request, and get this, WITHOUT THE UPCHARGE. Rare is a jewel such as this.
The quiche was mouth-wateringly extraordinary. It was a Mediterranean style including olives, greens, onions and more. It was moist and flavorful as any delightful quiche should be. I also ordered a tea pot and was very happy I did. It was wonderful to see this establishment choose to offer Fortune Tea. This is a local company right here in Pittsburgh. Supporting our trends for local sustainability- I love it!
For dessert we ordered a popular house favorite: the Raspberry Infusion. In fact, I could not recall the name of this dish while writing this review and called the location. The woman answering the phone even offered to have a manager call me back and discuss my experience further when I inquired what the name of this scrumptious dessert. They are keenly focused on a special and enjoyable customer experience. Yet, another reason I say you MUST MUST try dinning here.
I learned they host all sorts of events not limited to bridal and wedding showers, weddings ,and cater to all sorts of events. I look forward to booking a life event in the future as I know it will be a memorable and enjoyable experience for me and all guests attending.
If you've read my other reviews on Yelp, I tell it like it is. If your restaurant is bad, I will put it out there. Hoping others could avoid a terrible experience and provide the owners a chance to change their ways. However, when one comes across as an excellent establishment, I equally will rave and commend them on accomplishing what few others in our area can. BRAVO Flowers in the Attic, for an experience well done.
