Chargrilled oysters are top tier!…read more Oysters were great and so were the Brussels sprouts! The place has a nice, fun vibe and the atmosphere matches the cuisine. Service could have been a little better. There was some confusion with assigned sections according to the waitress, but the place was not crowded and we were one table away from a table she was serving. The place is also very small... So we sat around waiting for an extended amount of time. I will be back to try more items and DEFINITELY for the chargrilled oysters.

It was an absolutely gorgeous day. Service was excellent. We shared the swordfish with asparagus and smashed potatoes My perspective: I loved pretty much everything on my plate. Swordfish was far from dry. It was well seasoned but my husband thought it was too salty. I did not find it too salty at all. We both enjoyed the veggies. It was pricier but we had fish left over and we shared. I absolutely was full. Stuffed. I would definitely recommend. My husband would too but I'd give it a 4.5 and he'd give it a 3.5

Luke Wholey's was the perfect stop after an afternoon walk! I treated myself to the BBQ shrimp and…read morean Aperol Spritz, and both hit the spot. The shrimp were cooked perfectlly - tender, flavorful, and coated in a delicious sweet-and-smicy BBQ sauce that had just the right amount of kick. Paired with the refreshing Aperol Spritz, it felt like the ideal way to relax and unwind. The atmosphere was welcoming, and sitting down with great food and a drink after being out and about made for such an enjoyable experience. If you're looking for a place to reward yourself after exploring the city, Luke Wholey's is definitely worth a visit. I'll be back to try more from the menu!

The trout filet was so tender, and the cavatelli had an extremely yummy sauce that went well with both the pasta and mushrooms. Sad we didn't have room for dessert, as those looked good too. My friend who lives in Pittsburgh booked the reservation a couple weeks ahead of time, where the earliest was 8:30 on a Sunday. The service is a bit slow, and we were there until late in the evening.

There's no reason I should have waited an hour to be seated here…read more When my date and I arrived the boy said it was a 25min wait and that he would put us on the list. We never got an initial "you're on the waitlist text" and came Back 30mins later and still we're not on the list and ANOTHER boy said he would put us on and "bump us up" 15mins later I'm getting hot and just sat down at an open table because there were plenty of open tables -it didn't make sense for us to be waiting this long? Racist much? Idc if they DO have black people working here or eating here already. My feelings are HURT. WHY were we not put ON THE LIST!? Like DONT PMO.... Anyways patience is a virtue. I asked my man to check again and he got us seated finally at the best table view of the river in the place ... (but I'm still mad about the wait!) Update an hour later ok so I ended up with a waitress named KRISTEN who was an absolute GEM! Very welcoming, apologetically thanked us for our patience, she really saved the night and my feelings about this place BETTER because she was SO hospitable, friendly and attentive! I ended up getting the birria tacos which were absolutely delicious (and I'm from San Diego by way of Texas and a birria tacos connisuer so I KNOW a GOOD TACO!) My man got the muscled & shrimp cocktail! We accidentally got someone else's order too and got to keep it no pressure. {apparently this place was overwhelmingly packed this Saturday 6/7/2026 because of a cancelled Morgan Wallen concert that so many people came in town for} overall after a glass of wine and finally settling into a better vibe thanks to Kristen I give this place 4 stars from my original 0! Happy waterfront dinning!

Enough for two sandwiches and utterly delicious. The Sneaky Pete with slaw and grain salad is a go-to, and the swordfish sandwich is insanely fresh. This place may look unassuming, but the flavors are bold and unforgettable. Soups, sandwiches, or just browsing the fresh fish case...Penn Ave has everything a seafood lover dreams of. Skip the usual fried options; here, freshness and service both shine.

It reminded this San Franciscan so much of Fisherman's Wharf and the teeming masses that course through packed sidewalks. Looking for lunch turned out to be a huge undertaking because queues were endless. Except here. It made me wonder if I wasn't aware of some known deficiency in their seafood. It's a two-part business, a fresh fish market on one side and a dining room and sushi bar on the other. The menu was initially overwhelming because food items were meticulously listed on several chalkboards arranged around the order space. There were lots of sushi options, but I wasn't in the mood and went for the $12 Fish Tacos, two of them with a combination of tuna, salmon, and swordfish encased in soft corn tortillas with tomato and cabbage (Photo 8). Tasty, quite fresh, and just enough as I sat in the relative quiet of the dining room. Peace in the Strip.

Fantastic tapas place. The warm bread was such a good start and very soft. The baby back ribs,…read morecroquettes, and oxtail were my favorites. I especially liked the baguette the oxtail came with--gave it a nice crisp. The asparagus sauce was fine, and the octopus was a bit tough. The churros were an amazing dessert--crispy, and the chocolate sauce was not too sweet. We walked in Friday ~8 PM and waited ~20 minutes at the bar, where we got a good sangria.

Our server, Rachel, was very kind and attentive, checking on us to make sure we enjoyed each dish and replacing plates and silverware a few times. The restaurant has a very romantic vibe with low lights, and simple beautiful decor. You can also see into the kitchen, and our table had a great view. It was very cool to be able to see all the food being prepared! Now the food.... Oh my goodness. Everything was absolutely incredible. We got a few of the snacks, small plates, and finished with dessert. My boyfriend and I kept trying to pick out which dish was our favorite, but it was almost impossible. Two of our highlights were the scallop crudo (my pick) and the oyster mushrooms (his pick), but we would definitely highly recommend everything that we ordered! I wish I could eat here every day. This place is awesome. It has become one of my favorite restaurants in Pittsburgh.

Finally got a reservation after wanting to try it for quite a while, and it absolutely lived up to…read morethe hype! When we arrived, there was already a line. I noticed several people didn't have reservations, but those with reservations were seated first. My tip: if you don't have a reservation, get there right when they open. The restaurant itself is stunning--beautiful atmosphere, charming garden setting, and the perfect place for a special night out. Our server was fantastic, attentive, and recommended a wine that paired perfectly with our meal. The food was incredible from start to finish. The Khao Yum (17-ingredient mixed salad) was hands down my favorite and something I'll definitely order again. For our entrées, we had the pumpkin curry and beef tenderloin--both were flavorful, perfectly cooked, and absolutely delicious. To finish, we shared the coconut milk ice cream with jackfruit and the mango sticky rice. The perfect ending to an amazing meal! Overall, the food, service, and ambiance exceeded our expectations. It's easy to see why it's so hard to get a reservation. Definitely worth the wait, and we'll absolutely be back. Highly recommend for a date night, celebration, or anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!

My husband chose this spot for my first dinner after moving here, and... He made the right call :)…read moreDefinitely make a reservation; the place was packed. The seafood is fresh, and the menu features several creative options. We tried a variety of items (Nigiri, Temaki, Takoyaki, and the daily specials) and honestly loved everything! As sushi lovers, we shared several small plates and really appreciated the quality. The fish-to-rice ratio was spot on. I loved the vibe: very hipster, complete with a DJ. Next time, we'd love to sit at the counter facing the kitchen for that authentic Japanese experience. Our server was so sweet and gave us some great recommendations. Even though it was busy, the timing of the courses was perfect. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend a reservation as they do not take many walk ins, especially for big parties and definitely take advantage of their happy hour menu (5-6pm). Their HH menu allows you to try some of their most popular bites for a fraction of the cost! Items that we ALWAYS order are the karaage, stir fried udon wit shrimp tempura, at least 3 skewers, the lychee martinis, Takoyaki, and some variation of toro. We try to mix in others every time and have never had a bad bite! Servers are always so kind to us and can't wait until my next visit! Hopefully it's soon!

I found this really cool place while strolling through Lawrencville for the first time in ages…read more The decor is bright and welcoming. It is a very open space and there is even window to the street that lets in air and light. There are a ton of unique drink options and a small list of bites to go with them. I love that they have a "bartenders choice" option where you tell the bartender what your likes, dislikes and tastes are and they create something for you. I will definitely need to try that on a future visit. This time, I tried the cool handed cuke because I am a sucker for anything cucumber. It was flavorful and a perfect spring/summer drink. It didn't taste overly strong which craft cocktails sometimes can. I sat at the bar and service was attentive but not over the top. They knew I came alone but weren't weird about it (you'd be surprised how many places think it is the strangest thing that you would drink or dine somewhere alone). I'd love to come back here with some girlfriends or even as a date night with my husband.
