There are many reasons why I choose to skip Hello Bistro but first let me start with some positive thoughts. I do like that you can design your own salad and it seems to be enough salad for two meals. That about sums up what I like about this restaurant.
On my last visit there seem to be a lot of people just sitting at the tables waiting for their orders. The tables were sticky and not clean at all. The noise level in this restaurant drives me insane. There are few restaurants like this in Pittsburgh that I choose to not eat in because of how loud they are and this one is the loudest. I suppose noise level is hard to control when the restaurant is a cement block that has metal table and metal seats. In fact the food is even served on metal trays, sort of reminds me of a prison.
As far as the quality of the food, there is a lot to be desired. The sauces are bland and the fries are very greasy. It is a real turn on to have fries served in a greasy paper bag. With so many other choices around I do not see myself or my family eating at Hello Bistro again.
