So I don't want to bash this place too much cause we where rushing to get to a show and could only…read moreorder salads and soup but even that was enough for me to know, this place ain't special. Nice waiter, but it took 30 minutes from when we arrived for us to be seated, order our drinks, and get them (this took the longest). The food was meh. I guess I just had higher expectations. My 'veg' soup was actually a bean soup and had zero condiment...no chz, no crouton, no herb thing...just soup. My dates French onion had two slightly melted slices of cheese...no dark brown coloring on the cheese. This would be an execution problem. My salad had 4 ingredients- greens, squash, nuts and blue cheese...I've seen more complexity and flavor from a eatnpark salad bar. We wanted to order oysters with trout row but was told they were out of the caviar. I will say, the two cocktails we received were very tasty. Enough to bump this from a 2 experience to a 3 . I would definitely go back for drinks and maybe some apps but I'm nervous about the main dishes being underwhelming...we'll see, maybe one day The ambience and views are impressive. Not great service, and not great dishes leave me thinkings even the entrées are gonna be a let down. Sorry

We stopped by on a whim for an after dinner drink last Wednesday evening. We asked for a table…read moresince the bar didn't have enough seats for all four of us and were told the tables were for people eating food but we could sit in the lounge area that's the area to the right of the bar. We were told we had to go up to the bar to order but someone from the bar came and took our orders. The person who carded made a big deal about carding us and would remark on our ages which was kind of weird. We got our drinks and while they were on the pricey side, they were pretty good. The lounge area has a nice fireplace which was cozy.

Was driving around Pittsburgh and decided I wanted some wings - Everyone loves wings in Pittsburgh,…read moreit's like the city bird - er food. This place came up on the map and I've seen it hundreds of times when I was growing up, my Dad said great things about the owner Tony, his food, everything, and my Dad knows a lot of people so I stopped in for an early lunch. Tony is a very dynamic guy, an excellent conversationalist and knowledgeable guy! I was glad to talk to him about the old times in Pittsburgh when my Dad owned Hank's ConKan and times were good. I bartended for him since I was 15 years old - now I'm 50. T's has been here for all of that time and has only gotten better - ***Large Full Wings - too many flavors to count, I got the Garlic Parmesan Butter wings and there were INCREDIBLE. I honestly don't remember wings tasting that good. Those large wings had tons of delicious juicy chicken on them - a real treat. ***He also makes big juicy homemade burgers and sandwiches and has an upstairs. Great atmosphere with a private lot on the side - A perfect place to watch the game.

Rarely have I had such a wild swing from amazing to meh when visiting a restaurant multiple times…read more The last time I was there, the service and food were excellent. On my more recent trip, the service was terrible and the food was delicious but overpriced for what we were served. I think the bartender had friends there the night we visited because she talked to another couple sitting next to us at the bar and largely ignored us except when we flagged her down. We ordered the vegan drumsticks, and were surprised to only get three--they were not very big but one of the most expensive appetizers on the menu. They were really good but I won't pay that much to get them a second time. We were going to order an entree, but it took so long to get the server's attention that we asked for our check and went somewhere else for dinner instead. Then I noticed a discrepancy between the beer price showing on their beer list and what we were charged. I tried to tell another person behind the bar about it and, as it turned out, he was the bar manager and said he doesn't deal with checks and we'd have to talk to the server about it. So rude, especially after we had been neglected by the other server for most of the night.

The bartender was attentive and kept my drink full. She noticed that I struggled getting ketchup out of the bottle and immediately brought me another bottle and threw the old bottle away. There were seemingly a bunch of "usuals" at the bar that the bartender seemed to know well. So the locals must come frequently. I would go back if in the area again in the future.

Our 8yo had the margherita pizza-- she enjoyed it, didnt complain about any burnt-ness on the crust-- phew! For cocktails, husb had the Midnight Library & he loved it. A very balanced tart & sweet drink. I had my cosmo- it's usually a hit or miss but this was one of the best from this bartender-- I hope she's always there. For meals: husband ordered the smash burger- he said it was moist& juicy-- it wasn't weighed down w/ so much meat. I had the Library Steakhouse sandwich-- sooooo good!! The steak wasnt tough thank goodness & I felt the horseradish go through all my sinuses-- they could've lessened it a bit on the s/w but overall great w/ the caramelized onions & the pepper sauce. I will order this again. In the past we've tried all the pizzas ((except buff)) & I'll say they ARE good, seconded by the hubby. Our go to for date night- cocktails & a pizza.. you can't beat that! I've tried The Great Gatsby cocktail, Black Beauty, Atmosphere, lookin' to try Curious George next. They were all great!! Husb has tried The Catcher in the Rye, War & Peace, Bridgerton& he gives positive reviews, but he still sticks to Midnight Library. Also, they have happy hr Mon-Fri: 4-7p. Great place, must come.

I got a side of Caesar which was just what I needed. For my entree, I got the craft blend smash burger and truffle fries, which were absolutely delish. My second drink was the Heated Rivalry (rum, strawberry puree, lime, hot honey, simple syrup) which was unfortunately a little too sweet for my liking, but still refreshing. Incredible name though! Overall I'm impressed! Two of my friends got pizza, and one got the steak frites, and it all looked so good and they were satisfied! Loved the book decor/dark library aesthetic so much. Our server was really sweet and on top of everything.

3.5 stars. The Finch is a rooftop bar and restaurant that is named after the Joseph S. Finch &…read moreCompany's distillery that was located in the building in the late 1800s. The bar serves cocktails, wines, beers, and mocktails. For dinner and late-night bites, the restaurant focuses mostly on small plates and shareables, including charcuterie, chicken wings, pizzetta, steak, and salmon. They also have a Sunday brunch that serves lox bagel, shrimp and grits, French toast, mimosa, bloody Mary, etcetera. My husband and I ate one lunch here. The best aspect of The Finch was its beautiful views of downtown Pittsburgh's skyscrapers, Monongahela River, and subway trains. The foods and drink were a mixture of quality, and my husband called them "garbage" (eek!). Here are my ratings for them. Berry Mint Spritz - 4 stars - This mocktail (I could have ordered it with alcohol to turn it into a cocktail) contained strawberries, mint, lemon, syrup, and soda water. All of the flavor had settled on the bottom of the glass, so I could have used a straw to mix the drink, but I did enjoy the flavors. Summer Crab Cakes - 2 stars - I received two crab cakes, and they were some of the worst crab cakes that I have ever received anywhere. They contained too much breading and too little meat. I did not even like the flavor of the cherry tomatoes on the side. I usually love crab cakes, but with these ones, I could take only a couple of bites, and then I had the waitress throw away the rest. Hawaiian Pizzetta - 4 stars - This small pizza consisted of four slices that had cheese but no gooey cheese-pull. Other toppings were BBQ sauce drizzle, pineapple, ham, and red pepper. I thought that it tasted good. Ember Steak Skewers - 4 stars - My husband said that the steak was not the highest quality. At least the chunks of steak, peppers, onions, and mushroom (we counted one piece of mushroom!) were marinated and seasoned nicely. The total cost for this one mocktail, three foods, and one soda was $79 *plus* a 3% credit-card surcharge, tax, and a minimum tip of 18%. We asked the waitress for a receipt, but she did not bring us one, so we walked up to her to ask for it again, and we did receive it.
