My buddy's buddy brought us here for a late dinner after a long day at Picklesburgh. I got pickled hard, so I was in the mood for the Buffalo chicken Mac and cheese. Despite the suspiciously affordable prices, my expectations were blown by the quality of the yellow and orange pile in front of me. My hand didn't even get a chance to reach for the phone to take a picture, because I inhaled this dish in about 17 seconds. The experience made me forget about the acid-flavored water that Allegheny County never seems to get right. I also decided to not test my luck on the fake casino machines. The ambience was dark and smelled like non-craft beer. I'll be back once I land a job that grants me access to endless Pittsburgh pickles and picklehol.

You can even get an Isaly's Chipped Ham Sandwich!! That's a must for any true Yinzer! Their cocktails are definitely unique and standout from other craft cocktail bars. I'm a fan of the Amethyst and the Peridot. The decor is dark, cozy, and romantic with exposed brick. The service is friendly. Really like getting to stop by when I'm back home visiting from Austin.

In fact I'm told by the bartender that The Coalmine in nearby Castle Shannon now has the original Bobby's fish sandwich recipe. The menu is very limited bar food. Burgers, dogs, wings, fries. I ordered a chilli cheese dog and buffalo wings. The dog was so boring - canned chili and fake cheese. The wings took forever 40+ min and seemed like they were boiled or baked rather than fried. The skin was soggy, not crispy like you'd expect. I can't recommend the food but the service was nice and the big TVs made for good game watching.

It looks like they built this bar inside of a garage now. I got fish on a dish. That's what they used to call it. Now they just called a fish sandwich without the bun. It was good. I never would've thought the ambience play such a critical role in how I enjoy a meal. It's been around six years since I've eaten there. I see no reason for me to return. That place used to have a huge lunch business all the way up till 6:30 or so. I remember having to wait out in the parking lot for a spot to open up so I could park. Today I was the only car there.

Our cocktails were subdued but very tasty. First we were served a pea soup shooter--we all wanted a whole bowl. Then a couple of appetizers--the 'compressed pineapple' with frisse was interesting with a flavorful dressing, but not too sweet. I got the special, seared tuna with a shrimp over udon noodles and a Hoisin sauce with some sort of wasabi. Again, the flavors were unique but not overpowering. Also got the chicken with couscous and peas. Sounds plain but it was anything but plain. The other mains were just as good. We finished off with three desserts. The carrot cake got rave reviews from my dining partners (not my style). The Creme Brulle was very large and perfectly cooked. But the best dessert was the deconstructed Smore. The chocolate, the merengue, the graham crumbs, a little ice cream. Oh, I'm going to be dreaming of this dessert for a long time! The price is also quite high for pittsburgh standards--over 100/person--but well worth it for a special occasion!

The sauce that came with it was also delicious! They kindly made the sweet potato fries without salt for our baby, and she loved them! The service was excellent. Our waiter was friendly, very knowledgeable about the menu, and was able to tell us which dishes did not contain tree nuts. There is only one dish on the menu that contains peanuts. He also kindly brought a plastic cup with a lid for our daughter, which we really appreciated. The atmosphere was great as well. It becomes even more romantic and perfect for a date with candles in the evening. We visited on a Sunday afternoon and were able to easily find a table without waiting in line. I would especially recommend this restaurant to people with tree nut allergies because they have many menu options that do not contain tree nuts.

The service and attention to detail were impeccable, which is refreshing for Pittsburgh.

We had the spinach and artichoke dip, a warm baguette, the wagyu shortrib, the dungeness crab salad, and the vanilla bourbon & sea salt ice cream for dessert. Everything was delicious. 4 stars because the server asked us to leave immediately after we finished (about 1 hour and 45 minutes after we were seated) so the next reservation could have the table-which felt a bit rude.

We also had excellent fast service for Friday night. Food: Sunday gravy - this tasted like it simmered on the stove for hours. So dang good with an immense depth of flavor. Put it on the focaccia, and it is a divine combo. Rabbits and dumplings - this was a homey pot of goodness. The rabbit was tender, and the gravy was packed with flavor. I loved the little mushrooms and dumplings. It was just a well-done, tasty dish. My wife loved her chicken dish. She said it was a deconstructed chicken, but completely "chefed" with great flavor. It was so savory and delicious. Get the Kirby cucumber salad. It was zingy and a good, light side! The baked Alaska was amazing. The presentation was fun-- a flambé on the table... so much fun and there was so much big flavor. The punch of rum paired perfectly with the bananas foster and cake. Just so elevated and great!
