I chose this restaurant for my husband and I's annual Christmas dinner. The space is surprisingly stark and on the verge of uninviting. I understood what they were attempting to accomplish with the decor but it misses the mark just a bit. We ordered drinks, my husband the manhattan and myself the Frenchman. My drink came out smoking from dry ice and was accompanied by an explanation of how I needed to wait to drink it. Really? I care how the drink tastes. I don't need a show. My husband had the soup as an appetizer, which we both agreed was the highlight. I ordered the scallops. They came in two preparations with one under a dome with applewood smoke. I've experienced similar at other restaurants (not in the burgh) but was getting suspicious of the show. For $30, I was genuinely expecting more amazing flavors but this dish fell a little flat. My husband ordered the duck and I ordered the lamb. My lamb seemed to be ever so slightly under done and I actually found its accompaniments to be more exiting than the meat itself. The flavor of my husband's duck was much more interesting than the lamb. We finished with the "vanilla" dessert. Of course, more dry ice and instructions. Uncle! It's on the verge of being gimmicky. Just give me amazing food. I don't need a show. For the overall price and quality of food, it wouldn't be my first choice again, but I am glad someone is trying to do something a little different in Pittsburgh.
