  • Well, I'm late to the party in reviewing this fantastic restaurant (see Andy S and Rosalind C, both of whom I dined with last night). I read over their reviews and they are mostly spot on. Rather than re-write their reviews, I'll just point out a couple of places where I disagreed or just want to elaborate on. - I think the rib eye was excellent. Yes, maybe not the most flavorful meat on its own, but I think the point was to avoid the meat overpowering the other flavors on the plate. Maybe I'm wrong, but it really worked for me. - I agree with Rosalind that the amuse was a great way to start the meal, even if, as she said, some of the other members of our party found it a bit too tart. It made for a beautiful pallet cleanser (the whole point) and really got my appetite up. - One thing left out of the other reviews is that the portion sizes were perfect. When we started our 7 course culinary adventure (and it really was an adventure) I was ready to loosen my belt and get that "it was great, but way too much" feeling. Thankfully, that was not the case. The portions were just the right size to end the meal feeling full, but not overly so. Nicely done! - As for the service, yes, we may have tripped them up a bit, but I don't think it detracted from the meal at all. If anything, it endeared the waitstaff to our table. - The ambiance may have been my only concern. The table we were at was dead in the middle of the rather small restaurant, and I'm sorry to say that we were those annoying guests who were just a bit too loud (there were 6 of us and there was a good bit of wine). But really, that's only because everyone else dining in the restaurant was nearly silent and the acoustics carried our voices farther than they should have. Perhaps a bit of thought to sound dampening would serve the restaurant well. In sum, whenever the chef moves his operation to Pittsburgh, he will absolutely blow the 'burgh food scene out of the water. If this restaurant doesn't make it to the top 5 in Pittsburgh, someone needs to seriously re-calibrate their scales. And, without doubt, Notion should be awarded best new restaurant in town. So, my advice. Go to Notion. Get the chef's tasting. Get the wine pairing. Enjoy. You'll thank me* later. *us
