| - From the outside, this restaurant is unassuming, and my guess is that if you didn't know it existed, you would drive on by. But that would be a huge mistake. Everything my husband and I ordered was saliva-inducing delicious. The crab cakes were divine--not too "fishy" and accompanied with a fresh red pepper coulis and cold corn salsa. I ordered the Ohio Berkshire Pork Chop, which was wonderfully moist and featured a maple sauce--the perfect combination of salty and sweet. My husband chose the Pittsburgh Steak and loved it, a bit surprising as he typically likes everything plain, plain, plain, and this piece of meat is rubbed with spices and served with hot peppers, olives, tomatoes and a red sauce. The steak was grilled to a precise medium rare, just as he ordered it.
The service is just a tad slow, unless you're a regular. The waitstaff obviously had their favorites, but, still, we didn't feel slighted. Expect to pay $18-20/per entree unless you plan on just ordering a sandwich. I would recommend reservations, especially if you have a large party; we were able to get a seat right away, but we arrived just as they opened at 5 p.m. on a Saturday. The restaurant is small, and it filled up quickly. This is a great spot for a romantic date or a family dinner.
