. . "My girlfriend and I recently went to the Grille on Seventh for dinner after an event at the CLO Cabaret, since the location couldn't be beat and we had seen it frequently without ever giving it a try.\n\nThe atmosphere was relatively pleasant, with posters from various Pittsburgh theater productions adorning the wall, and our waitress was friendly.\n\nUnfortunately, the food was disappointing. I had the Buffalo Surf and Turf, which consisted of a sirloin covered with bleu cheese and then topped with baby rock shrimp, which were themselves coated with hot sauce. These were accompanied by steamed mixed vegetables and rosemary mashed potatoes.\n\nWhile none of this food was terrible, it certainly didn't meet my expectations (especially for $29.99). The steak and shrimp tasted okay, but didn't resolve into a coherent entre--it was more of a sirloin with bleu cheese plus some shrimp covered in Red Hot than something that came together as whole. The vegetables were, again, just okay; they tasted like they had been frozen and then steamed. Perhaps the best thing on the plate was the mashed potatoes, which had just the right amount of rosemary flavor.\n\nOverall, at the end of the meal, we decided that we wouldn't be coming back. For your money and your time, there are better places to go in the Theatre District."^^ . "2008-06-18T00:00:00"^^ . . "0"^^ . "2"^^ . "1"^^ . "2"^^ .
