Amazing experience. My dad and I came here for dinner before the Holiday Pops show at Heinz Hall. It's intimate and cozy- perfect for dinner before a show, a nice date, or even just something a bit more special than normal. Our server was super friendly and helpful. He walked that very fine line of being there when we needed him, but not overcrowding us perfectly. We ordered the Salty Pig flatbread as an appetizer- not disappointed! It was the perfect size for 2 people to split without filling up too much before dinner. We both got the Flat Iron steak meal. W-O-W! The thick cut of the steak was cooked perfectly. The butternut squash paired with potatoes and broccoli rabe complimented the meat and each other really well. I would highly suggest making a reservation if you're going at a time that could even remotely be considered busy. Meat and Potatoes is pretty small, so I don't imagine they have the capacity for walk-ins during these times. Luckily, it's very easy to make a reservation using OpenTable! read more

WOW. That's the first thing I said when they brought out my food. Boyfriend and I shared the meat for two (45 oz. steak) that came with a bone marrow gratin. We also ordered a side of bearnaise sauce and fried brussel sprouts. First things first, the portions were MASSIVE. Our meal could easily serve 4 people. Food came out fast even though they quoted us a much longer wait time for the steak. Our steak was juicy and well seasoned and cooked to perfection. The bone marrow was absolutely decadent. Wish I had some bread to soak up the bone marrow juices! It was my first time trying bearnaise sauce and I wasn't super impressed. The brussel sprouts on the other hand, were simply amazing. Super flavorful and definitely enough to share for 2 people. It came was a nice lemon aioli on the side, which helped give the dish some creaminess and acidity. We ended our meal with carrot cake and I will happily say it was one of the prettiest and tastiest carrot cake I have ever had. It was elegantly plated and easy to eat. This is a must if you love carrot cake! Overall this meal was definitely a cheat meal and something I imagine people would choose as their final meal. Highly recommend people try this place out at least once! read more

We came here t o celebrate my niece's boyfriend's 30th birthday. He is definitely a carnivore so we wanted to try this place. It's a rather small place compared to other steakhouses we've tried in Pittsburgh. They sat us right next to the door even though I made reservations weeks prior. Oh well. We ordered their signature rolls as an appetizer. We were all disappointed. You get 6 rolls the size of golf balls. I've gotten much better rolls for free. We all shared the 50 oz. streak. It's a very generous portion accompanied by huge bones with marrow. Ot looked something from the Flintstones. The meat was good but nothing special. The sides of brussel sprouts and mac and cheese were good. The best part of this dining experience was the service. Our server was on point except he did not introduce himself. All in all, Meat and Potatoes is a good restaurant to check off the to do list. But we agreed that it wasn't necessary to return there. read more

Great food and very nice dining experience. Beef Wellington is totally worth the wait.

We made a reservation for our visit to Meat & Potatoes, which I highly recommend doing. We had been wanting to try this restaurant for some time and were glad that we did. I will point our that the tables are very close together, which is not a big deal, but I know some people like more privacy. The food was great. My boyfriend and I both ordered the fried chicken sandwich for our dinner, we enjoyed the wings and fried pickles for an appetizer- both extremely tasty. That atmosphere here is very relaxed and perfect for a date night, or any occasion. Cannot wait to come back. read more

I've always had great meals here. When friends come on from out of town this is one restaurant we always put on the list to take them to.

Superb! You gotta go here at least once. YUM! Go into debt if you have to. It'll be worth it to your tummy.

We had the fried pickle chips (delicious and hot!) and the salty pig flatbread (cold but tasty). Service was good, so quick to clear any plates immediately. Very friendly service! read more

This place is fantastic. Great great service and amazing dinner. We split the ribeye and it was cooked perfectly. The MAC was amazing I highly suggest it. The restaurant had a great vibe. If I'm ever in Pittsburgh again I'll be sure to come back to meat and potatoes. We came back two nights later before we left town. Once again a fantastic dinner highlighted by great service from everyone including the owner. Thanks for making us feel welcomed read more

Meat & Potatoes - Rib eye for two and you have to order the Mac - New American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The entire experience screams hotel lobby restaurant. The entrance and the restrooms are in a shared common lobby, and don't expect the hostess to provide a warm welcome. The service is that of a restaurant and not a higher dining steak house experience. As for the menu, most of it doesn't lineup quite right, Thai mussels and steak frites? Brussels are meh, mac n cheese was warm and cold which mean pre prepared and reheated. The only dish worth getting is the filet mignon and the side dish of carrots. Not worth the price, or calories with so many other options only blocks away. read more

Fabulous preparty for our date at the bar. We had made resers online but due to our early arrival decided to enjoy the bar hustle and bustle but it was comfortable and cozy and not too loud for our conversation. Sarah was our excellent bartender and totally attentive and describes the food selections in wonderful detail, and took care of our appetizers while we enjoyed the trendy decor and beverages prior to Norah Jones concert! We had devils on horseback which was delicious, wild mushroom risotto which was piping hot and so pecorino tasty in its bowl, and smoked wings with whiskey sauce. All were delicious and unique flavors. Light fare due to concert-going really hit the spot and we will definitely look forward to a return visit. Price to value is worth every penny! Menu is unique, varied and all selections looked great! Highly recommend. read more

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck & looks like a duck, then it's duck so please send it to Meat and Potatoes promptly as I will be over to eat it shortly. Just thinking about it gets me all quacked up. First time there but definitely not our last trip to M&P. We arranged reservations almost 2 weeks in advance and when we arrived the waiting area was packed with other reservation holders so reservations are a must. I did see a table or two that was not occupied during our early dinner but I chuck that up to the hours we were dining, 5pm on a Saturday. Well it worked out perfect since we were coming from an afternoon show. I studied the menu for two weeks looking it over and over and wondering what I would order. I had thought of the fried pickles as these are one of my favorites, or the pork belly taco's because come on pork belly in a taco! Yum, but no. My recent love affair with duck had me swooning for it... I also saw so many wonderful pictures of the bone marrow I had to give that a shot too. I can say confidently that I picked wisely. This was one of the best meals I have had in a long time. As I looked to my H who I convinced to order the Wagyu, I stated, "Welcome to my new favorite restaurant". He absolutely loved the wagya, he said I wish there was just one more piece of it. I think he could have had two... Lucky for me my plate filled me and though I could have eaten more I didn't have to, the portion was perfect. I could've done without the pierogies. I love pierogies but this one wasn't my thing. All is fine I gladly gave them to my H to eat and he happily did so. The atmosphere here seems casual with an upscale feel at the same time and the seats were like sitting on your overstuffed couch. I melted in. I will be back M&P you really got all your ducks in a row. read more

Half of our dishes were stunners, the other half not so much. I think we may have just made poor menu choices. But I have no complaints about the quick service and cool atmosphere. One dish you won't regret getting is brisket mac & cheese (no matter how bad it may be for our bodies). We could've (and did) eat it with a spoon. I could eat that melted gouda cheese goodness like a bowl of soup. Yes to the meatloaf and potatoes (was on the fall menu). The meatloaf was divine, the potatoes perfectly buttery and creamy, and the onion rings added the right crunch. Things I think are worth skipping - 1) the bone marrow. We've only had bone marrow several times, but there was not much flavor to the marrow compared to others we've had. It tasted just like fat smeared on bread. And the capers were far too salty. 2) the poutine - we love our poutine but these were just a little underwhelming. read more

This was my first restaurant visit of the New Year 2016! And if this is any indication of what is to follow I'm in for a treat! Meat & Potatoes.....ahh what a refreshing place! First, I was quickly seated on a Friday! That's amazing in and of itself. The atmosphere is pleasant and since I was seated in a relatively private section of the restaurant it was perfect..... The food not only looks amazing it tastes that way too... But I decided to indulge in the "Dub" burger and fries... And I had the "Grilled" bread with jam and goat butter for an appetizer. And as a beverage I tremendously enjoyed the "Nino" cocktail. This is far from my last visit....I highly recommend eating here before a show, a date night, or just a night on the town! read more

What's a word that's better than phenomenal!? That's what dining at Meat & Potatoes is!!!! We had dinner there last night with friends and the Chefs and server and the entire staff simply knocked it out of the park! Starting with our server, she recommended two wines for dinner and we decided to get both! Great recommendations and great choice to listen to her! Fabulous wines! Next, we ordered the tomahawk steak...dear Lord...my husband was in heaven...it was the best steak he ever had! Actually, everyone's entrees were incredible! There's nothing on that menu that I wouldn't hesitate to order! Oh, appetizers....delicious!!! Oh....dessert, delicious!!!! Can you tell we loved this place!!!???!!! Chef Drew and team, well done!!! As a chef myself, I know the hard work and love put into preparing these meals and I want you to know that we appreciate everything you do!!!! We are already planning our next visit!!!! read more

Skee-Lo was wrong. I'll say it right now. He said, I wish I was little bit taller, I wish I was a baller I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat and a '64 Impala* You know who would NOT say that? The short ribs flat bread at Meat & Potatoes. They embrace their shortness. The Short Ribs Flat Bread has blue cheese / cheddar / arugula / horseradish. That's all you need to know to understand this is delicious and those ribs don't need to be any taller! Very cool decor, interesting menu, pretty good beer selection (I had an IPA from 21st Amendment brewery) but the reason this is five stars is the service. I sat at the bar and the three guys behind there were awesome. Made great recommendations, made sure I had everything I needed and provided by far the best service I've ever had in Pittsburgh. They get bonus points because one guy noticed I was wearing an Archer t-shirt and asked if I knew the Bloody Mary prayer**, which of course I did. He said a lot of the bartenders have been reciting that. Nice. I don't know how I got Skee-Lo and Archer references in the same review, but hey, it's Pittsburgh. Anything can happen! Do me a personal favor and give this place a try. _____________________________________________ * here's the audio track for Skee-Lo's biggest hit http://youtu.be/2s7MmcDjwek **Bloody Mary prayer- http://youtu.be/szwbdSK12hw read more

Good eats in a modern decor, and all in downtown Pittsburgh! I had some friends visiting from out of state and excitedly took them here. I think that due to its eclectic vibe, meaty offerings (ha! sorry), and well rounded menu, Meat and Potatoes is a fine choice for any of those seeking Pittsburgh's more impressive experiences. I loved the atmosphere inside, which, although crowded, still felt immersive and personable. Great choice for a date. The service was also friendly and I never felt rushed during our meal. Everything was delicious! We got Thai mussels, poutine, and the tomahawk steak - - all of which were excellent. The latter was utterly massive and, despite its size, delivered both steak and sizzle (I'M SORRY! I will axe the puns. Ha. Ugh.) We remarked several times over just how this thing must've been prepared (like, with half the bone stretching out of the grill?) and the tomahawk was definitely a lasting conversation piece for a memorable meal. I look forward to returning and trying more of the menu. Overall we were all very pleased! read more

My boyfriend and I went here for our first Valentine's Day and I made reservations a month prior through Yelp. We did our research and knew we wanted the meat and potatoes for two-- we got rosemary potatoes and the house steak sauce. It comes with bone marrow au gratin, which I was freaked out about at first, but it's worth a try. Our waitress seemed put off that we didn't want appetizers, but we wanted to save room for the main event. The steak was excellent and I loved the steak sauce-- it's different and brought out the flavors of the steak. We also got our steak topped with roasted wild mushrooms, which were to die for. read more

So two years later, I'm back at Meat & Potatoes for brunch on a beautiful sunny Fall Sunday. My friend and I felt lucky to have been able to make a reservation at 12:00pm on a Sunday with such short notice. Somehow -- they had a table for two available in the next 15 minutes! Sweet! The best part? When we sat down. Such comfortable seat cushions. We were seated next to the DJ, which for some people would have been less than ideal, but we enjoyed the music and were still able to have a fine conversation without yelling, so I think the volume levels are set just right. The menu features Eggs Benedict, shrimp & grits ettouffee, chicken and waffles and a few other things. Those who don't prefer eggs for brunch may feel limited in scope for choices (as my friend), but mostly everything on the menu is incredibly delicious (I say with confidence), so how can you go wrong? I ordered the Thanksgiving Benedict, despite already harfing down 3 soft boiled eggs for breakfast earlier that day. I could eat 12 eggs a day. This was eggactly the eggsperience I was looking for (shoot me now please), but in all honesty: the Benedict was INCREDIBLE. Stuffing - delicous cuts of turkey and perfectly poached eggs with house made cranberry sauce. It came together divinely and was the ultimate comfort food. I tried my friend's shrimp etouffee as well and it creamy, tangy and delightful. For dessert, we shared something only God could whip up in heaven. The problem being is that I was so damn engrossed with eating it, that I sort of forgot what it called on the menu (dessert menu changes practically daily). All I can say is: if there's a mix of ice cream + a brownie with nuts type of biscotti -- go for it! Or really trust your servers recommendations (like we did). So. Divine. The price was super reasonable as well. Definitely recommend M&P for brunch -- don't know about dinner/lunch, but I would imagine they can do no wrong! read more

Back again! Went here for my birthday. Couldn't decide where to go, and Meat & Potatoes is *always* a classic. Never disappoints. I don't usually have a drink with dinner but, hey, when it's your birthday...started with a Warm and Fuzzy and Hand-cut Beef Tartare. Wow. The tartare was the most incredible thing I think I've ever eaten. Served on sourdough bread with pickled vegetables and radish. Absolutely perfect. I had the Short Rib Stroganoff and my husband tried the Double Cut Pork Chip which was sooo tender and flavorful. We shared the Sticky Toffee Pudding for dessert, which is date cake with streusel, toffee sauce and, get this...whiskey ice cream- WOW. So! Good! The service was above and beyond excellent, as always. Just a really good restaurant experience all around read more

What an amazing dinner (HELLO 45oz Ribeye)! I asked several friends who lived in Pittsburgh before to recommend some restaurants for dinner, and most if not all said to come here. Meat & Potatoes did not disappoint. I made a reservation a week in advance and was immediately seated when I walked in. The service was great throughout the night, and I know this is a bit random but I LOVED THE MUSIC here. They played 90's and early 2000's mix of music (pop, r&b, hip-hop) and I was in heaven. SHOUTOUT TO THE PERSON WHO IS IN CHARGE OF THE MUSIC HERE. YOU ARE THE REAL MVP! My party of 4 split the Uxmal Malbec (very easy to drink and went well with our food). For our appetizer, we split the Bone Marrow (5/5 freaking delicious and very large portion- might be a bit much to share between 2 people but with 3-4 people the portion was perfect), and the Fried Brussels (2.5/5 super salty especially the parts with parmesan on top, have had much better Brussels Sprouts elsewhere). Now onto the main highlight of our meal... Of course, we had to order the 45oz Ribeye special (comes with Bone Marrow Gratin). We ordered this with Black Truffle Butter and Potatoes Au Gratin (5/5 the potatoes were absolute perfection). The Ribeye was cooked perfectly (medium rare), and the Truffle Butter + Potatoes made for a fantastic meal. Personally, I didn't want to just eat meat so I ordered the Pappardelle (5/5 this was the first Pappardelle where the Bolognese sauce was very 'light' and not too heavy). If you come starving and don't order an appetizer, 2 people might be able to finish the 45oz Ribeye (also depends on what sides you order of course), but based on the amount of food we ordered, we weren't able to finish our meal among 4 people (2 guys, 2 girls). If you don't want leftovers, I would suggest ordering just the 45oz Ribeye + a side to share between 2 people. read more

After three years of making reservations, and canceling (sorry) at the last minute, I FINALLY MADE IT TO MEAT AND POTATOES. finally. And I must say, it's kinda worth the wait. The seats are so comfy, the table is roomy, and the beer is cold. And, the food is amazing. Came in for an early reservation, at 5:30. Was sat immediately, in the well decorated dining room. Ordered a Victory "Summer Love", due to Nicki's (our AWESOME server) suggestion. Before i had half of my beer gone, my order of Bone Marrow was steaming on my table. This. Stuff. Is. Amazing. The kid that brought my food told me how the breakdown went, as I was popping my marrow cherry. He described the marrow at "meat butter". There are no better words. Bread, sea salt, herbs, capers and pickled onions accompany the marrow, but you don't even really need them! Still, amazing with. My entree came next, the Duck. I originally was super excited about the duck, but my first bite of pickled cauliflower turned me off. I chugged a little more of my beer, and went to work on the duck. It was perfection. They can keep the pickled cauliflower next time. Dessert was a red velvet gob cookie, I love red velvet, but this was a little weird and hard to eat. But hey, everything else was amazing, so I'm not gonna complain!! Happy Eating! read more

The words Brunch and Meat & Potatoes go hand-in-hand. Think you'll stop in on a Sunday morning and just "grab a seat"? Think again! You better call well in advance for those seats and have a res, and you'll be glad you did. I've only ever been to M&P for brunch, but have been there several times. Each time I've ended up getting one of the specials as my meal, and I've never been disappointed, but have enjoyed some more than others. The cinnamon bun-fantastic and sticky! The Benedict special-it rotates and you should always get it! Now for the drinks. The coffee is always hot and almost constantly refilled by their staff who are very attentive. Now there is also a magnificent Bloody Mary bar as well. This thing has everything and more that you could ever hope for your Bloody Mary--bacon, shrimp, celery, and...grape leaves! It's basically a meal in itself. If this place isn't on your list of places to go, then add it immediately. read more

Now if you want a gastropub that has high end food and libations, M&P is the place. Nice decor with nice high back seats and a large bar in the middle of the room. The bar was full and so was the restaurant on a Sunday night before the Pirate Dodger game, with many in team colors for both teams. Some nice up beat music playing. Service was on point. We shared the Cobb salad that had bacon lardons, tomatoes, egg, scallions, some great blue cheese and a avocado ranch dressing. A great start to our dinner. For a appetizer we ordered the Lobster Mac that has some black truffle. The mac was good, especially when you had a chunk of the lobster or truffle. Two people in our group split the Meat & Potatoes for Two (34 oz. ribeye, confit stay fries, mushroom argue and bone marrow gratin. The meat was cooked perfectly. The bone marrow was perfect sweet combination. The confit potatoes were very good with a nice crunch and flavor. The Pork Chop, ordered by someone at our table, looked great and was told it was top notch. read more

My husband and I had a craving for so we chose this spot for dinner. It's a beautiful restaurant-think old Italian meets modern steakhouse decor-a play on leather and warm oak wood countertops with tile floors. We had not made a reservation but we're seated immediately along the perimeter of the bar located in the center of the restaurant. When ordering drinks we both ordered old fashions. They were amazing! For dinner we went with the tomahawk steak! We also ordered a side of Mac and cheese along with fried Brussel sprouts. Our server was named Adrian-excellent server. The steak was cooked to perfection-juicy, melted in my mouth. The Mac and cheese in my opinion was a bit loose sauce wise, but my husband loved it. The Brussel sprouts? A miss-presentation was beautiful but they were in the fryer a bit too long-had a lingering taste of "burn" after digesting. If ever dining here again-I would definitely get the tomahawk but choose different sides. The tomahawk came with two sauces-my favorite was the horseradish based one ..I could drink it read more

I recently met several co-workers for lunch and the food was fantastic! One co-worker had the cold fried chicken sandwich and the other co-worker had the burger. Both co-workers raved about their meals. My only complaint was that the food that I received (Beef Short Ribs and Grits) was served somewhat lukewarm. The flavor was great and would rate 5 stars if the food would have been warmer. I would have asked that my food be re-heated, but I was starving and didn't want to wait. Other than that, everything was wonderful! The short ribs were like butter! read more

Meat and Potatoes has opened up their dining in the Green Phase of Covid-19. They have a really nice space for outdoor dining along the sidewalk and in the adjoining alley. They also have some distanced indoor seating. I had reservations for 3 for 7:00 pm and we arrived about 15 minutes early. We were taken to seats at the bar to await our table out on the sidewalk. They have a touch free menu with a QR code, but unfortunately, the drink menu wasn't on it. We were able to decide what to eat while we enjoyed our drinks. They do still have draft beer, although their selection has always been inadequate in this department. I had the NY Strip Steak and duchess potatoes. The steak was done perfectly, just as I ordered it. It came with crisp, thin green beans that I loved as well as gremolata, and truffle remoulade. The potatoes are like twice baked without the skin. Yum. Both of the others in my party had the pub burger. I had to try a bite of the pastrami belly. Wow! I'm getting that next time! They also got sides of fries, one truffle and one plain. Both were thin like potato sticks and quite good. So, bottom line in these days of pandemic...we felt safe, distanced and satisfied. Give Meat and Potatoes a try if you want to return to the restaurant dining scene. Make a reservation, of course. read more

In Pittsburgh for one night - this place had some great reviews - had to be done. I'm not familiar with Pittsburgh so didn't know if Parking would be an issue. Happy to discover there is very reasonable parking in the same building as the restaurant. The inside was pretty full and busy, a little loud but not terrible. Some baffling would probably help a little bit with that. As a starter I ordered their special Negroni and two small apps. The Negroni - in a word - was excellent. Here's what makes theirs different: Nolets Rose Petal Infused Dry Gin, Campari and Lillet Rouge (Fortified Wine). The fortified wine is a sub for the standard sweet vermouth - and it worked quite well. To accompany that I tried the Grilled Bread with Goat Butter and Seasonal Jam and the Fried Brussels with Parmesan and Lemon Aeoli. The Brussels were very nice fried but I would have loved them as much if they were simply roasted. The combination of the slight bitterness of the Brussels Sprouts with the savory Parmesan and the ever so slight hint of sweetness in the Lemon Aeoli - was such a nice contrast. And then you switch to the grilled bread - and hit some other regions of the palate - tossing a sip of the Negroni - magic. I could have stopped there but, as I was leaving the next day, wanted to try at least one of the Mains. So I ordered the Pappardelle - with Bolognese, Short Rib, Pancetta, Pork Shoulder and Garlic Bread on the side. It was very well prepared and presented. I would have probably enjoyed it more if I hadn't already indulgent the apps. But that's my fault! I ate at the bar and the servers there worked well as a team - both giving excellent and efficient and friendly service. Very professional. Would definitely come back!! read more

Came for my wife's birthday dinner. Bone marrow and pasta were good. Vegan meat loaf was so salty it was inedible. Too bad because underneath all the salt it seemed like it had a good flavor and texture for vegan meatloaf. Most disappointing was the server's response when I said why I wasn't eating it: no offer to take it off the bill, or bring something else, not even a "sorry"--he just rolled his eyes and gave us the (hefty) bill, which he called "your ticket out of here." Disappointing food and very weird service. read more

The food was excellent, as was the service. But the prices are extraordinarily high. With tip, almost $500.

Visiting from San Diego we stumbled along the Meat & Potatoes website. The options sounded great and the other Yelp reviews made up our minds for us. We paid for parking, walked a couple of blocks and were NOT thrilled to hear there was a 4 hour wait - are you kidding me! We were told we could check the seating around the bar, we did. Squeezed into 2 end seats and were quickly greeted by the bartender complete with page-boy cap, suspenders, white t with sleeves rolled 3/4 of the way up - really added to the decor. My hubby started with the Dunquesne Pilsner beer, and I started with an iced tea. The beer, in the words of my hubby, "it was a good drinking beer". Our starter was the Artisanal Cheese Board, and it was super yummy! The local cheese was tasty, but my fav was the local strawberry preserves! Fresh dates, apple slices, candied pecans and toasted fresh bread were great accompaniments to the cheese. Our entrees: Pappardelle for my hubby and the Brisket Sandwich. My mouth still waters when I think of my hubby's Pappardelle pasta! The pasta was fresh made, the short rib and pork shoulder were perfectly tender and tasty, the bolognese sauce was the perfect addition, not too overpowering, just right! My Brisket Sandwich was good, very big! The slaw was a little different than I expected, not in a bad way though. The overall taste was good, a solid 3 stars, but the Pappardelle deserved a solid 5 stars! The overall place gets a solid 4 stars, but the pasta dish and our bartender service gets a 5! read more

I came here for one thing, and one thing only. The Bone Marrow Appetizer was what I was after. I've never had it before and I was told that if you're going to try it, make sure you try it at a place that does it good and does it right. And that place would be right here, at Meat and Potatoes. It was phenomenal. Delicious and cooked to perfection. Yeah, $18 is a lot for this appetizer, but how often would you have this? And, would you want to try and make it a home? No. (what does that saw look like?) So, I came here for one dish and it was perfect! I did look around at other meals being served and they all looked good. The only negative is that it's very noisy. If you are coming here for a nice, quiet dinner for two, forget about it. The tables are very close together and there is no privacy. This is how I met the two ladies sitting next to me while I dined. I could hear everything they said and ended up sharing my Bone Marrow meal with them. Yes, it's dark and noisy, but the food made it all worth while. read more

Meat & Potatoes was definitely the best meal I had while visiting Pittsburgh! Loved the ambiance of the restaurant, definitely a great place to go for date night or to celebrate a special occasion. Cocktails (4/5): We all enjoyed our drinks and the prices weren't too bad either. Caesar Salad (5/5): highly recommend ordering, it was amazing! The crunchy pork rinds and crispy pig ears complimented the salad perfectly and the addition of the egg was also unique. Roasted Duck Breast (4/5): really enjoyed the duck, it was cooked and seasoned perfectly. However, I don't eat polenta so I asked to sub a side potato dish instead which the server said I could, but did not inform me that there would be an additional $4 charge for this. Would have been nice to know. 45 oz Ribeye for Two (3.5/5): the first ribeye they brought out was rare so we had to send it back. I found it odd that the bone marrow wasn't served with any toast or bread because it was really oily eating it by itself. Chimichurri and horse radish sauces were decent. Truffle Fries (5/5): great fries, loved the aioli. Overall a great spot for dinner downtown. Will be back the next time I come to Pittsburgh. read more
