My husband and I visited for my birthday dinner, and we had a wonderful experience. Our server, Anna, was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome throughout the evening. We started with the bruschetta appetizer, which was absolutely delicious. For dinner, I had the chicken marsala, and the portion was huge with incredible flavor. My husband ordered the filet and lobster tail, and both were cooked perfectly. We were seated on the porch, where we enjoyed a beautiful view and a great breeze that made the evening even more enjoyable. Between the excellent food, outstanding service, and relaxing atmosphere, it was the perfect place to celebrate my birthday. We will definitely be back! read more

Overall really enjoyed this place. I think it is family owned - the owner and his ~10 year old son were sitting at the front of the restaurant.l at the hosts desk. His son took me to my table. The waitress was attentive and very friendly. I ordered the honey pecan crusted salmon and opted for carrots and broccoli as my side. The waitress brought bread and a garlic/oil dish to dip the bread in. The garlic/oil was so yummy, I could've just ate the bread without any dinner! I was also surprised to see I got a large portion of food when the plate came out! Most places these days you don't get much bang for your buck. The salmon was delicious, and so were the carrots and broccoli. My soda was flat and I asked the waitress about it and she fixed it. I ordered the flourless chocolate torte for dessert and liked that too. I wonder what the ingredients were, because there was a bit of spice to it that I couldn't quite place my finger on. The only improvements I think could be made are the ambience was loud. There was a large party in the dining room next to me and they were a loud family with children running and screaming all over the place (I understand this isn't within the realm of control for the restaurant). That itself wasn't unpleasant, it would just be nice if there was some strategic sound dampening. On their website I had signed up for a $10 coupon that never came in my email (not sure if I'm supposed to wait days for it...?). Another thing I noticed on their website is that they charge $10 for a split plate. I'm assuming this means if you come as two people and decide to order one plate of food but split it, they charge for that. That seems really weird. People shouldn't be charged for splitting their food, if that's what that is. They also charge you a transaction fee for using a credit card. Next time I'm in Pittsburgh I'll be coming back. It was nice to eat something that wasn't a burger and fries, since there are so many of those types of places in Pittsburgh. read more

Dropped in yesterday around 5:30 and were promptly seated. The restaurant still looks much as it did when it was another restaurant by name. The service was very good with descriptions of the menu items that allowed us to make informed decisions. The stuffed hot peppers were as good as I have had anywhere. The sausage was spicy the way I like and the portion was enough to be an entree. Will go back just to order this again. There were four of us and everyone was very pleased with the look, taste, and amount of their meals. All of us had take-home which was packaged by our server. DeBlaze at 131 highlights the variety of very good restaurants to be found in Carnegie. read more

I was SO blown away by this place. I'm not sure why I didn't expect anything crazy but I was pleasantly surprised. We came early, around 5pm on a Friday, and we sat at the bar. There were 3 of us and we had plenty of room. I got the banana old fashioned which was delicious made with house made banana bourbon. I also got a filthyyyy martini which lived up to the name. The bread was yummy and the house salad was to die for. I got the carbonara pasta which was flavorful and silky. read more

Nice atmosphere with a few tables and bar on first floor and more dining on second floor. Service was good. Some nice wines on the wine list. We received some warm bread with a garlicky dip. The Tortellini Pesto Alfredo with Shrimp was very good. The pasta was cooked perfectly. read more

This place really surprised me! I wasn't expecting it to be so upscale being in Carnegie, but here we are. I met a few coworkers for dinner and we all really liked it. The service was great and the food was delicious. They had a nice fall menu for drinks so I went with the caramel apple sangria. It was so refreshing and tasty. For my entree I went with the meat ravioli and was not disappointed. You could tell that everything was freshly made. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back. read more

Very disappointed with the drinks. I ordered a Tanqueray and tonic, but received a club soda with little to no gin in it. My friend ordered a Captain and Coke and had the same experience--could barely taste any Captain Morgan. We sent the drinks back, expecting it to be corrected, but the replacement was no better than the first. For the prices charged, we expected properly made cocktails. Unfortunately, the drinks were extremely weak and not enjoyable. read more

We had a disappointing birthday dinner for my friend tonight. He loves this restaurant so we were very excited to try it out and celebrate him! Upon arriving, our server Stephanie said, "So are we doing one check"? And our friend requested separate checks with many most people paying in pairs. She responded saying "oh wow, okay" and for the rest of the night we were made to feel uncomfortable and an inconvenience for having separate checks or anything we asked. I am disappointed as it was our friends birthday and we spent our dinner worried about upsetting our server with any requests. Additionally, I ordered a pasta entree and the serving I received was not enough to fill me. read more

I'm not someone who usually leaves negative reviews, but unfortunately this was a disappointing Mother's Day experience. I took my mom here for lunch on Mother's Day and we had a 12:45 reservation. What we didn't realize until arriving was that they were still running a special brunch menu until 1 PM before switching to their limited Mother's Day dinner menu. Since we weren't really interested in breakfast food, we decided to order an appetizer and wait until 1 to place our dinner order, which we communicated this right away. To be fair, we were perfectly fine waiting and enjoyed our appetizer. The issue was that once 1 PM came and went, no one returned to our table for quite a while. At around 1:15 someone finally came over to take our dinner order, but then informed us the kitchen was backed up from last-minute brunch orders and that our food would take quite a while. When I asked how long -- mainly because we had already been waiting to order since 1 PM -- rather than acknowledging the delay, we were told that dinner service had only recently started and the kitchen was backed up from late brunch orders. That response honestly rubbed us the wrong way. We had explained our plan when we sat down, and the 15 minutes after 1 PM could have been time for our order to already be in. A simple acknowledgment or apology probably would have changed the tone entirely. Instead, we decided to just pay for our appetizer and leave. We ended up going to another Italian restaurant nearby and had a great meal there. I understand holidays are hectic for restaurants, but better communication and a little more attentiveness would have gone a long way. Unfortunately, this also wasn't our first experience with confusing communication/service here, which made the situation even more disappointing. read more

We had such a great meal here. My husband had the pork chop and said it was delicious! I had the chicken parm, and My kids enjoyed the pasta! My parents had the seabass and loved it! The staff is so friendly and the owner was so nice! We will definitely be back! read more

I took the little ones here for a really nice dinner treat after camp one day. Most of the diners were on a date with significant others so we were the odd ones. The service was really speedy and efficient. And the food was quite delicious. The restaurant has a lot of crosses and Christian symbolism. If you're in the mood for a meal sparing no details, check it out. read more

So badly wanted to love DrBlaze, after years of passing by and following them on social media. Unfortunately, our girls night out wasn't as I had hoped it would've been. We really struggled with our server. She was very pleasant, but she brought out the wrong thing at least twice and charged one of our cards the wrong bill. My friend ordered the $42 espresso crusted pork chop and it came out so overdone that it was inedible. Once we notified the staff, they quickly prioritized getting her a different dish of her choosing. The good: the space is beautiful. They have plenty of space to host larger parties, they have both indoor and outdoor seating, and a quaint bar. The happy hour prices from 4-6 of 1/2 price wine glasses and draft beers is a good deal. We loved the chicken parm, the wedding soup, and the lemon blueberry cheesecake. The bruschetta, although beautifully plated, didn't seem like it had flavors that worked together. The risotto balls were amazingly cheesy, crisp on the outside, and covered in the flavorful house sauce. I'd like to say that we'd give them another chance in the future, but with as many restaurants are out there, we likely will not be back. read more

Not sure if this is related to the one in Bridgeville or not, but it looks like it is. We only went to this location for brunch and it was delicious! The shoestring fries were super crispy and everyone liked their meals. One warning tho. For some reason they put onions on a BLT without mentioning them on the menu. Since it was the Eggs Benedict one, it was annoying to pick them out with hollandaise sauce covering them. The service was great. We were only in the bar area and it was pretty empty, but I like the decor. read more

Guardian angel. Sat at bar around 530pm On a Saturday night then owner comes and tells us to leave bc its reservation only. What bar has reservations? We were horrified. Will never patron this place again. Someone watching over us and saved us from the doom of nite read more

The food is amazing. The drinks are amazing. Atmosphere is amazing. We literally showed up at 6:45pm and they closed at 7 but still served us. Thank you for that! We will definitely be back well before closing time! Sorry! But I can't wait to try everything on the menu! My friend took me here for my birthday! Highly recommend! Even go and sit at the bar and just relax. It's perfect! They did a great job. I love trying specialty menus. The peach bourbon something...mmmmm. And the pumpkin martini...yummm not too sweet! And I had the salmon, friend had the sea bass and other friend had the pork. Oh and we had the Brussels sprouts. Seriously, everything was delicious. Great for a date night or just with friends. read more

Four of us had dinner last night at DeBlaze and it was a great experience. Our waitress was very attentive and the food was excellent. We enjoyed everything from the bread and garlic oil, to appetizers, to main dishes, and desserts. Especially want to highlight the desserts, which are homemade. The lemon blueberry cheesecake came with a generous serving of whipped cream, and the cake was so light, creamy, and perfectly sweet, with a graham cracker crust. Wow! Everyone enjoyed the food and commented positively on the service as well. We will definitely be back. We sat inside on the second floor, but there was also outside seating on the first floor and second floor balcony. read more

We had our wedding rehearsal dinner for twelve there last Friday evening. I had made the reservation with Doug, the very nice owner, a month prior after he graciously showed me the restaurant. At Doug's suggestion, I called ahead that day to have some appetizers ready when we arrived and they were there, hot, fresh and delicious when my guests arrived. The restaurant was very busy but the food and service were excellent. Everyone in our party enjoyed the food and drinks they ordered. Farrah, our server, was friendly, pleasant and efficient. I would definitely recommend DeBlaze 131 and hope to return there soon. read more

DeBlaze: Where the Only Thing Ablaze Is Your Wallet What used to be a reliable go-to for decent eats has gone full acrobatic -- double somersaulted a school of Great Whites and belly-flopped into pretension. Prices have gone through the roof like a microburst over Fiori's. Appetizers are now $14-$20. Standard pasta dishes? Creeping up on $30. Add a 3% credit card fee and a $10 "split plate" charge, and suddenly you're paying dahntahn steakhouse prices in Carnegie. Two guests at our table ordered the carbonara -- twice, technically. The first attempt arrived stone cold, topped with sad, boiled chicken that looked like someone peppered it as a dare. Not lukewarm -- cold. Like it had been plated at noon and left in the window as a model. Both plates. At $28 each. Our server, who was gracious and clearly mortified, took them back and promised fresh ones. What returned were... suspicious. The two plates were now seemingly one reheated mess, scrambled together in the same pan, then slopped back into separate bowls. One had all the bacon, peas, and vegetables. The other? Just oily pasta and broken sauce. Not even a rogue pea in sight. No effort to even fake it -- just lazy, obvious, kitchen corner-cutting. Honestly, I was shocked they didn't apply their shiny new $10 split fee to that little Frankenstein experiment. I guess even they realized charging for re-dividing a botched reheat would've been a bit much. The flavor? Gone. The texture? Wrecked. The trust? Vaporized. It was like they tried to fix failure with a frying pan and a middle finger. To their credit, both carbonaras were comped -- but they went uneaten. And despite the disaster, no one from the kitchen or management bothered to check in, apologize, or offer a hint of accountability. Our waitress, again, was fantastic -- but she was the only one in the building who seemed remotely aware a meltdown had occurred. So yeah, if you're looking to drop $80+ on cold pasta that returns as a science fair entry, and to pay premium fees for the honor, DeBlaze is waiting with open arms and a warmed-up skillet. The place was clean. read more

I struggle with this review because I really wanted to like this place. My party of 4 arrived at our 4:30 reservations last night and were greeted at the door by the hostest. We were guided upstairs to a big dining room and seated promtly. It wasn't very bust so my son and I decided to head down to the bar to get a couple of drinks. The bartender greeted us warmly and I ordered 2 old fashioned drinks made with Rittenhouse Rye. The bartender took a few minutes to make the drinks and delivered them to us. Now I've been making these drinks for years and order them out all over Pittsburgh. I could tell right away they weren't right. They were whiskey with two cherries and an orange wedge. That's it. No muddling. No bitters. No simple syrup. You couldn't even squeeze the orange?! I'm not one to complain so I waited on the bill. I heard the bartender discussing with a coworker about the type of whiskey I ordered and finally the bill arrived. $37.50!!!!!!!!!!!! I almost fell over lol. Never in my life!!! I threw two 20's on the bar and headed upstairs. It really didn't get much better. My wife ordered the lobster with the mushroom risotto and broccoli, and I ordered the blackened mahi-mahi with risotto and broccoli. Our entrées were good, and the risotto was the star, but the broccoli was undercooked and crunchy. You couldn't cut it with a knife. We let the waitress know and I ordered the glazed carrots instead, and my wife wasn't offered an alternative. She doesn't care for carrots . We were finished eating and talking by the time the carrots came out and nothing was taken off the bill. This place definitely needs some work but has potential. There's really no reason to go back. Sorry. It wasn't picture worthy. read more

Honestly we have been coming here for years, the service has just steadily declined since they moved into their Carnegie location. Food is always good but the service and price is what is going to stop us from returning. Went for brunch and ordered the breakfast BLT, took one bite and realized that it didn't have bacon in it. One of three ingredients in a BLT was missing and when it was sent back they simply just added bacon to the already bitten sandwich. Chef stated "oh I thought I put it on the sandwich." Nothing new and nothing was comped, the fact that the waitress and the cook thought that was okay really shows how professional they are and how little they have been trained. This was just the last instance of bad service over the years, not much has improved and frankly for what we are spending here it's just not worth it anymore. Might miss it but seems like the area as a whole is on the rebound with new establishments. read more

Our service was great. The food was very far below average. We ordered two apps that were mediocre. The calamari was very chewy and the bruschetta was good. Three entrees were just bad. The salmon was cooked well but very little flavor. The mahi mahi was very much overcooked and dry. The Teres Major beef cut had zero seasoning on it. Overall the dining experience was very much below expectations with a bill of over $200 with tip. I would probably not return. read more

Tremendous !!!! Nice atmosphere- food is tremendous !! Would go again and again!!!!...............

We came for dinner at 5:30. They offer a dinner special from 4-6 for $20. It included soup/salad, and chicken pasta dish. It was delicious. The service was amazing and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. read more

Classic example of a perfect shot hole . 4 of us sat only to be entertained with flees through out our entire dining experience. Called the owner over to share the infestation issue only to hear this " yeah we know about it with a chuckle , I was told there's nothing that can be done " yes true story ... food was sub par at best yet priced as if I was at Mt Washington. Carnegie man not like I was at Papa J's , not even close . Then not minutes after we finish diner we were asked to leave , yes because they needed the table . What an unbelievable experience. This kid will never match up to his dad .. No never again .. Won't be surprised if thier gone before long read more

Went there with a friend I hadn't seen in years. He made a reservation at 6. We got there and it was pretty empty which we thought strange. We ended up talking and the waitress graciously delayed putting in our order. We were never rushed and not until 8 did we learn that they closed at 7! We did not know. I just saw this on the restaurant website today. So good food (and large portions) and great service. read more

The prices are too high for below average food. The ambiance is nice but it doesn't justify the high prices. Service was good.

Right off the bat let me say that the food was very good. The risotto balls were excellent. Service was very slow and the server got our orders a bit mixed up. They ran out of lobster on a Saturday night which was very disappointing and substituted 3 shrimp in its place with the steak and still charged $58. not fair!!! They also ran out of bread at 7:30 at night. I'm assuming this is a newer place and they are still working out the kinks. Hopefully, they will step it up once they get their groove. Not a fan of the tables so close together. We were so close to the other couple that we felt we were involved in their arguments about their marriage. yikes. This is not what I came out to dinner for. Also, upstairs there was a line for the bathroom and the server didnt even take notice that the line never moved. The door was actually accidentally locked and the staff should have taken notice there was a problem. Finally, I hate when they start cleaning the place as I'm eating dinner, but at 8:30 two servers started spraying tables and got me wet, making noise resetting tables and they were sweeping up behind us. Don't want dust in my meal. Can't you clean after you close? read more

Been coming here for years (since the 131 days) and have always left satisfied. It was then-boyfriend now husband's ideal of an upscale meal out in his local cute suburb. I will say the menu has always been on the limited side and yes, it isn't cheap, especially if you drink. Cocktails are always strong so at least they are equitable for the high prices. Wait staff and bartenders are friendly and attentive. Great location in heart of Carnegie read more

The staff was fun and patient with some of the others in our group. Food was very fresh and flavorful. It was a Sunday night an hour before closing and couldn't be more impressed with the food and vibe. I have been telling everyone about the place. read more

This location used to be occupied by a very nice restaurant with a unique and well-executed menu, but the owners retired and I believe DeBlaze moved into this spot... The location is decent, but watch your step walking in, don't trip over the door's threshold!! The menu looked OK, but I wasn't "wowed" by it. I ordered a salad to start while I tried to decide what else I might be interested in. The salad came out pretty quickly and it was made of really nice and fresh ingredients. But I needed some pepper for it and had to wait quite a while, as the bartender was busy with other customers, just to ask for some. They have a decent wine- by-the-glass list and I opted for a chardonnay. After my salad I decided to just cash out and leave. Might be worth returning once they expand the menu a little more. read more

Excellent menu options and terrific service even with gluten free options. Highly recommend.

Our first visit since DeBlaze moved to the heart of Carnegie. We loved the original location and the new location doesn't disappoint. Sophisticated decor upstairs and a great bar downstairs. I'm excited to go back for happy hour. I ordered the special, bbq braised short rib. It was incredible. My date got a filet and potato. Also excellent. The reason for four stars was that the steak wasn't cooked to the temp ordered. But our service was great. Doug stopped by to say hi and make sure everything was made right. The restaurant and menu are still evolving. We will definitely be back to see how this great place takes root and grows. read more

Ordered dinner here for take out, the first time since they've moved. Having frequented the "grille" when they were in Bridgeville, we were excited to try the new location. While the dinner menu is a little different than the previous location, the food is still top notch. I had ordered the chicken parmesan and the wife had the Caesar salad with chicken. Both portions were great and not too big or too small. The chicken parm had great flavor and didn't leave me feeling weighed down. I'll have to take my wife's word on the sald but she inhaled it. We'll definitely be going back to dine in. read more

Don't go here on a Saturday night. Service was terrible . They can't even cook a steak properly. I asked for peppercorn sauce. Which never came. My son's pasta was bland. I like this place. But I don't think I will be back. To expensive and not worth the money read more
