I had the Argentino salad adding the bondiola (pork shoulder) - the flavors burst in my mouth from this salad and the pork was sooo tender! My colleague had the carne sandwich with the Vacio steak - so much tender stacked meat he was in heaven lol.. of course the 4 chimmi's topped everything we ate.. Lastly, Our server/bartender Molly is fantastic! She's always in a great mood and is very knowledgeable with the cuisine! She really makes your time there enjoyable!

The chimi sauce so flavorful The not great: Coliflor- cauliflower absorbs so much flavor, and I was so excited to try it because of that. However, their version was horribly underseasoned, though cooked really well! The eggplant crema had no flavor. I poured the chimi over it to save it, but we still didn't finish it. The sandwich- highest rated sandwich, but... The roll was soft, and the caramelized onions were tasty. That's where it stopped for me. The beef was dry, didn't have the charred peppers on it (paid extra for), there were three slivers of onion, and I couldn't taste either of the sauces. I know if I would've been able to give them the opportunity to fix what I wasn't a fan of, they would have. Unfortunately, with this being a pickup order, they were not really given that chance. Not horrible, but not amazing. Will definitely try again!

There's not much to say about Bertrand other than it was a complete disaster. Tucked into a random…read morestrip mall in Upper St. Clair, Bertrand is nestled in a rundown area that leaves a lot to be expected. Upon entering the restaurant, there are crystal chandeliers, bright colors, French posters, and a lively atmosphere. The restaurant had a lot of potential until we experienced the service and cuisine. I brought my Supper Club here, and we had a group of 8 of us. There was also a very large group at the restaurant. We were neglected on several occasions, and it took us 2 HOURS just to get our food order. That's not an exaggeration. Our waitress was rather snippy with us, and ended up apologizing at the end but it did make for an unpleasant experience. When we finally received our bread, we were so hungry that we scarfed it down despite it being not so great sour dough bread. Every dish was flavorless and left us wanting more. I had to send back the steak on two occasions: once for being undercooked and once for being overcooked. I ended up getting my meal for free. The Coquilles St. Jacques had the smallest scallops without the lovely scallop shell its usually served in. The shrimp cocktail tasted like anything you could get at the grocery store. The Nicoise Salad was just sad and flavorless. The porkchop and escargot had the most flavor. I will definitely not be back to this establishment. Our group did enjoy each other's company, and it created a very memorable experience even though it was an overall bad experience!

Unlike traditional French meals, ours did not take long to prepare (or devour) we loved the BYOB option, and chose to sit outdoors.

I don't know if I would return but I'm really glad we did come here to celebrate our anniversary!

Please see my attached photos for the other menu items in February 2026. My husband and I had a reservation for dinner. I was one of the first customers to give my name to the seating host. He, however, called the other customers before me, and my husband and I were left there standing. The seating host had to ask for my name again, so apparently he had forgotten about me. The seating hostess looked too casual in her jeans. The experience got better. The room contained only 16 seats so was quiet. Throughout our dinner, our waitress provided timely and friendly service. Our appetizer was Bone Marrow, which tasted very rich with toast. For the main course, my husband's 12-ounce Queen Cut Prime Rib was juicy and flavorful, especially with the accompanying horseradish, beef au jus, and Yorkshire pudding. He called the prime rib a "dinosaur of a steak," and he had leftovers to take home. My special of Lobster Thermidor was fewer ounces but was also very flavorful. We also enjoyed our sides of Truffle Fries and Creamed Spinach. For dessert the Baked Alaska was a show for both our eyeballs (tall flames of fire!) and tastebuds. We did not order any alcohol. The total price for our six foods, state tax, and credit-card fee was $237 plus a tip.

We got a prime rib along with their Delmonico special of the day and a bunch of sides to share. Everything was so flavorful, decadent, and delicious!

What a hidden gem in downtown Pittsburgh! Meat & Potatoes is a stunning fine dining restaurant with…read morea beautiful atmosphere and exceptional service. The food was absolutely 10/10 from start to finish. We ordered the Tomahawk steak, which was massive and easily enough to share between 3-4 people. The marble potatoes and carrots were the perfect accompaniments and complemented the steak beautifully. To drink, we enjoyed the Hibiscus Berry and Dreamlife mocktails, both of which were refreshing and thoughtfully crafted. One thing to note for visitors from out of state: there are a few additional fees beyond the listed menu prices and tax, so the final bill may be higher than expected. That said, the quality of the food, generous portions, and overall experience made it well worth it. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience in Pittsburgh, Meat & Potatoes is definitely worth a visit. Great ambiance, excellent food, and a truly impressive steak make this a spot we'll be talking about long after our meal.

Decadent Burger, Strong Cocktails, and Worth the Hype…read more Came to Meat & Potatoes for dinner with business colleagues after a recommendation, and it absolutely delivered. We started with strong, well-made cocktails, then I ordered the Rossini Burger -- a double patty topped with a generous slab of fried foie gras, red onion jam, and mustard. It was decadent, rich, and delicious in the best way. Highly recommend, but make a reservation. Even on a Tuesday around 6 PM, the dining room was fully booked and we ended up sitting at the bar. Worth it.

Loved the ambiance - felt high end without being stuffy…read more My husband and I got 2 very interesting cocktails- one was like a spicy dill margarita and one was a dirty martini with a black pepper/curry taste to it. The dirty martini was fairly pungent and strong so not sure I would get it again but I'm also not big on dirty martinis so probably just the wrong choice on my part. But the food was the star of the show. We ate so many good dishes- starting with the rainbow platter. Loved the baba ghanoush and the roasted cauliflower - those were my favorite of the 7 dishes on the platter. We also ordered the labneh, hummus with chicken and lamb shawarma, and the kafta kebabs (rolled up in some sort of tortilla) which were all fantastic! If we come back (which we will) I would just order the baba ghanoush instead of the rainbow platter, all the other dishes we ordered, and maybe one additional plate. I felt like I didn't really need the Israeli salad (tomato and cucumber) or the pickled cauliflower and radish that came on the rainbow platter. The hummus was SO soft and fluffy. This was some of the best food we've had in Pittsburgh. After having lived in a Philly for 4 years, we know good mediterranean/lebanese food and I'd be surprised if you can find better in Pittsburgh. Service was also very good.

It was probably the best pepperoni pizza I have ever had. The high point of the evening, was our waitress. I wish I knew her name. She was very helpful, attentive, and friendly. She treated two old people just like we were 30. One caveat though. The steaks on stones looked and smelled delicious, but the prices might be a bit high. It depends on how much you enjoy steak, I think. If you are a steak eater, I'm pretty sure you will be happy. Maybe we can find out next trip.

I'm usually a smash burger person but I wanted to give it a try. The burger was big- at least 8 oz but the weird part is it didn't taste like anything at all. I added more salt and pepper to my burger and potatoes but I still didn't get any flavor. I think it's probably a nostalgic place for the older generation and I can't see why anyone would continue to go here. It's definitely not up with the times, which is fine, but the food wasn't for me! There was also a hair on my utensils as soon as I sat at the table. The one star goes to the service and waitress for being kind and brining our food quickly. We also didn't need to wait for a table on a Friday night.

We had reservations for 5pm on Friday, but decided to sit in the bar area to experience the cool red lighting. We ordered a few different items: Oysters: these were great, easily some of the best oysters I've ever had in Pittsburgh. Not a single piece of shell found in any oyster. Super fresh. Great stuff. Scallop Crudo: probably my least favorite dish of the night, ate the whole thing but wouldn't be something I'd get again. Scallops were almost slightly (metallic?) in flavor. Steak tar tar: delish. Very fresh, surprisingly light in flavor. Paired great with the chips. Grilled cabbage Caesar: honestly my favorite dish of the evening. Flavors were perfect, texture was soft but crunchy. I was tempted to order more but had to restrain myself. Half roasted chicken with rhubarb: totally lived up to the hype. Chicken was perfectly cooked, loads of flavor. The creamy farmers cheese on the bottom paired great with the sweet/tartness of the rhubarb. Easily the best chicken dish I've ever had. Rye shortbread: this was our dessert. Greatly enjoyed this. Flavors mingled perfectly. Overall, great experience. Service is top notch. Drinks were good and we were even given free champagne since we were celebrating. Can't wait to come back again.
