| - Driscoll & Sons cafe is unassuming from the outside but the inside and the food is great. Great selection for dinner and they always have specials. The decor is modern but has a home like feel, it competes with some restaurants in pittsburgh. It will be even better in the summer, they have a deck and French doors that open to let the fresh air in and fans to help it keep cool. I ended up ordering the NY strip medium rare with carrots, their rice pilaf, and a cup of French onion. First let me say their bread is really good crispy outside and soft inside, the oil that accompanies the bread is great too. French soup tasted great, some places it's ridiculously salty, not here, it's flavorful. On to dinner. My steak was a generous portion and covered over the middle with a light cream sauce. I cut a piece without sauce and it was had more than enough flavor that the sauce was not warranted at all it was done to perfection full of flavor and very tender. The carrots were cooked right and had a nice maple undertone. The pilaf wasn't overcooked or watery and had basic spices. One person in the party had the Alfredo with shrimp, the shrimp weren't rubbery but done to perfection. The Alfredo sauce wasn't overpowering in the butter or cheese aspect it was a foot balance. Another person had a ribeye with potatoes au gratin. The potatoes were amazing I'd definitely order them. Prices, they are not expensive for what you get, a lot of food that tastes good, some people aren't used to paying for a good meal. You CANNOT compare this to the trailside AT ALL this place is in another league that the trailside could never dream of being in. I'd consider it above grill 51 and very close to j corks as far as quality. If they get their alcohol liscense and offer some nice wine and different mixed drinks this place will take it from a home run to knocking it out of the park and into the river. I will be back and you should go.
