The service is very good and the bar maid, Whitney is fantastic. Drinks are relatively cheap compared to other bars but you must be a member to sit in the bar area. Any one can eat there in their separate dining area. Parking is ample and the place is clean and very accessible. The building itself is a little older but well maintained. The dining room extension is new. I go there often.

The menu offered a wide variety of items and all 7 of us ordered something different...everyone raved about what they had ordered. I had the Pan Seared Salmon which had such wonderful flavors...one of the best salmon dishes I have ever eaten (and I order salmon frequently)! I just want other people to enjoy what we did!

The Revel & Roost joint website is odd. It seemed like Revel is ONLY open for breakfast and brunch,…read morebut when we got to the restaurant, both parts were open. (Looking at their website more closely, I found their dinner, but the way they advertise it on the main page is odd.) We hope to try Revel at some point. Roost had very good food and a bunch of things I wanted to try, though their menu was pretty limited. Roost has no happy hour drink specials, so if you want one of those, stop in Revel downstairs first. Roost was also fairly empty, so we didn't really need a reservation, but I like to make them to be safe if they take reservations. The dish I was most interested in (scallops) had a lot I didn't like (I tried it, since my friend got it and I'm glad I skipped it, since I'm not a fan of peppers), but they have a scallop appetizer I'd like to get next time. The dinner also came with some delicious bread and dipping sauces/spreads. There was a LOT of food, so an appetizer wasn't necessary. I ate all the best stuff from my meal, but couldn't have possibly finished my meal after sharing the appetizer. Very good service and food. I'd definitely recommend it & look forward to trying Revel.

Ok, I had low expectations and they were beaten. As others…read morehave described, this is a nice buffet restaurant in PPG arena. We had lunch before a penguins game. I'm between a 3 and a 4. The salads were very good, the soup was decent. The shrimp grits were honestly a 5. They were delicious, creamy with a little kick. The other 'entree' options were ok. The next best dish was a wrap with pork belly. It was very pork heavy (4 dishes had some form of pork), fine for me but not great for all diners. I definitely wouldn't recommend this for a vegetarian. Desserts looked good, but were meh. And the price is up to $62. That's fine for a 5 start restaurant. And when we were ready to head to the game, our server disappeared, and the three people standing at the door (literally doing nothing) wouldn't or couldn't help us.

Make a reservation as it is recommended but if they do have space left over after reservations they may still be able to take you. Are waitress was so nice & so great with our 5 year old daughter who was so excited to be there. She went above & beyond to make a happy girl even happier. Thank you for making it a great time for her. Only minor things both the chicken & fish were a bit dry and we were in the first seating when they opened. Not too big of a deal but my husband also agreed. It would have been nice to have a few more options that are kid friendly even though it is tailored more towards adults. All and all such a wonderful experience. The women at the host desk were also so sweet to my daughter and it really made my night as a parent a lot more enjoyable knowing that staff was annoyed/anxious a young child was there. I have been to restaurants were staff act like that and it just makes is uncomfortable.

My wedding day was beautiful but did not come without issues....most of which I could just ignore…read more But, I was disappointed in the level of customer service we received when an issue needed resolved. I spent more time and attention on getting the issue resolved than I did to plan the whole thing. While the venue has potential, the lack of attention to customer concerns and the excuses instead of results left us feeling let down. I hope the management (owner) takes this feedback seriously to improve the experience for future couples.

A special shout out to the coordinator Lori Murphy who made our tour amazing. She was so very friendly, answered all of our questions and was extremely informative during our visit. We met the Chef and even left with 2 sample boxes of cake following our tour! This venue boasts their all inclusive services provided in-house if you elect to utilize this party event center. There is also no rental fee for use of their facility. The venue is located immediately off of route 8 and has ample parking available. Thanks again Lori for your time. Note: They have another event center at the Holy Trinity location.

This place is very nice. It took us forever to finally visit this winery. I will say the prices are…read moremuch higher than most wineries in the area. Most wines cost between 13-22 around this area. These wines were 35 - 60 per bottle. However, all of the reds/whites were amazing. Pinot Noir was my favorite. I recommend if you're looking for a setting that is quiet, good wine, and relaxing it's here. I liked this place. The staff was very friendly. They provided us a sample of the sparkling wine after tasting was finished. We recently visited again in June 2019. This is a great place. So relaxing and if you like California wines, you will like this place.

The decor in the bottom floor was awesome with wine barrels, wooden tables, and a cigar room. For my taste, their red wine selections all had a little bit of a spicy finish, but I'd love to go back and give them an another try. The owner and the rest of the staff were all so pleasant and helpful as we all roamed around and tried all their wines. Definitely a nice addition to lawrenceville and I will be back!

Steamfitters Local union 409 OFFICES & EVENT CENTER hosts a fish fry every Friday during Lent. Oh…read moremy goodness! The food they serve is amazing!! The fish sandwiches are absolutely delicious (and huge)!! I have NEVER been a fan of fish sandwiches in general (I'm in my 40s), but if they always tasted like this then I'd eat them A LOT! This sandwich is perfectly crispy, not greasy, with a light and flaky fish that has good flavor without an overbearing fish flavor or aftertaste. And boy is the tartar sauce they provide an absolutely perfect complement to the sandwich. Again, all of the tartar sauces I've tried over the years have never appealed to me. Not this one though! I use the entire container of tartar sauce they provide - it has wonderful creamy slightly sweet and slightly tangy flavor that complements the fish perfectly! My wife agrees that both the fish and tartar sauce are the best we've had from a fish fry. (And my wife LOVES Lenten fish fries so she has waaaayyy more experience with trying different fish sandwiches) Sandwich w/ one side = $13 (or w/ 2 sides = $16), which I think is a heck of a deal given the size and quality of what is provided. (I've provided pictures) The sides supposedly vary from week to week, but in the 3 weeks we've ordered from their menu, we believe the sides were always the same. Mac & cheese, chips, apple sauce, pirogies, and coleslaw. All of their sides are fresh and delicious so you can't go wrong (note: the coleslaw is like Primanti's coleslaw (if you're a Pittsburgher), which is vinegar-based). We've always ordered takeout online using the web portal they provide. You can pay online and schedule your pickup. Pickup was easy and the staff was friendly, and to top things off, they package everything in an easy to transport box. I highly recommend and frankly can't believe how awesome the food and takeout experience is here! Whoever operates this is a genius! They thought of and do everything perfectly! This place is the very definition of a hidden gem!

The Chadwick is the place to have your reception. My experience:…read more My wife and I got married in March 2024 and had our reception at the Chadwick. We spent about half a year organizing it, working with Stacy, Chadwick's Event Planning Manager. From the first meeting, she was extremely easy to work with and very helpful. She laid out all of our options and was honest in her process, allowing us to design the event how we wanted. She was our main support and I can't thank her enough for her excellent work. The Chadwick's dining service was similarly excellent. Our selection process was breezy, and the food tasted just as good when we sampled it as it did at the wedding. The in-house chef was great to work with and was a great help during the tasting process. Our guests gave us rave reviews both at the reception and after -- it was really that good. The Chadwick has a great location. The parking lot is expansive, and the venue is clean and elegant. Our ballroom was a perfect fit for about 130 guests. The table layout was custom-tailored and the (included!) bar service was a hit. The cost is unbeatable for the value, the staff is communicative and smart, the food is truly excellent, and the venue is wonderful. The Chadwick has my highest recommendation. I hope you give them a call to plan your big day.

I am a bride and had my wedding at The Chadwick in May of 2013…read more I'm going to preface this by saying that YES, I wanted a package deal. I was planning my event from out of state and wanted to deal with as few vendors and little nitty-gritty details as possible. My husband and I worked with Stacey for the planning piece- she was awesome and readily accessible through e-mail or phone. I feel like I got everything that I wanted in the package that we designed together and that the pricing was fair. I would say that it would be a bit over-priced on a Saturday though. (paying full price- Friday and Sunday weddings get a decent sized price break). We had what they called the Elegant Sitdown Reception- 4 courses, plated and served. The food was pretty good for my taste and my guests loved it (which is what really mattered to me). The outdoor patio is beautiful! In response to a comment below- they must have updated the bathrooms. They look brand new now. They also did a bunch of work to the entrance hall that was under construction when I first went to tour the facility and completed by the time my wedding rolled around. Our event coordinator was really on her game the day of and I have ZERO complaints about her. tldr: my wedding was great! I was a very easygoing bride though and didn't have any sort of "grand vision" that I needed the details to be perfect on. They executed what I had in mind as well we I would have myself. Definitely recommend for a bride who has a busy schedule and wants to leave the details up to someone else.
