Great if you're boating!…read more Out on the boat, got hungry-easy access to get here. Our food came out so incredibly fast. I don't think I've ever had food at a restaurant come out so quickly. I got the lobster roll and enjoyed it. My husband got the peel and eat shrimp and there were so many! Traditional American food, I definitely would not say this is a seafood restaurant. Seems to get pretty busy on the weekdays. An enormous spider came down from the ceiling in the middle of my meal and about gave me a heart attack, I was freaked out for the rest of my meal after that. Not their fault but also saw several cobwebs in the bathroom. Eek.

The only downside was that the restaurant's music was clashing with someone down in the marina blasting their yacht rock at the same time, so the competing music was a little over-stimulating, but I'm not sure the restaurant can do much about that.

I quickly paid and left, where I promptly threw up on my property behind the restaurant. I called to complain and they offered me a $50 gift card, which they can keep...! They apparently have no quality check and do they actually see what they are preparing? The person saying he was a manager had nothing much to say, other than sorry about that. Congratulations! You made money on me... Last time, there are other places to eat in Mt Lebanon.

It was a great opportunity to get more of a feel for this historic landmark. Great ambience overall, especially if you are into history and/ or railroads. Located in the former Pittsburgh and Lake Erie train depot, there are so many fine details here: the ceilings, the windows, the light fixtures, the P&LE RR insignias on the doors.... Jackie was the solo bartender and she was great: very friendly, professional and attentive. We only had a few drinks, but I watched how she interacted with other patrons and she was fantastic. Also knows how to mix some good drinks! Highly recommend; will definitely return if I am back in Pittsburgh!

We used to frequent The Gandy Dancer years ago and always loved their Charleys chowder and fresh made sourdough rolls. I ordered some and my husband ordered the lobster bisque. Mine was good, but there was no lobster to be seen in the lobster bisque. We asked for bread and were told they had none and then when we asked for crackers they also said none were to be found. They are extremely understaffed and we were so disappointed in our meal. Even the bartenders agreed with us that the place has gone downhill. We won't be back.

Much cuter than i expected. When I think tavern, I think…read moredated and super casual but this neighborhood kitchen and bar was slightly more upscale. The lights were low, the dining room was cozy and it filled up fast. So, people really like this place. Don't arrive a second before 5pm bc you'll be waiting outside. We highly recommend a reservation. Service was timely and friendly. My drink was amazing. Highly recommend their cocktails. You can still enjoy classic tavern beers while watching the game at the bar. The food is what I have come to expect in Pittsburgh. It's never wow knock your socks off but it's good. I saw lots of people ordering the deviled eggs which I would try next time. I had the seafood special which was really good, filling. My daughter had a burger that she said was good. Highly recommend and we'll be back soon!

They did make me leave my water bottle at the front and had me pick it up on the way out later. I asked the bartender to make my friend's drink pretty because it was her birthday and he obliged by putting cool glowing lights in our drinks. He don't take 10% off my gold card but I emailed and they credited it to me. We had a fun time dancing and closed down the club. A little before closing the manager stopped by and ask how we were doing. When I mentioned it was my friend's 30th birthday he graciously gave us complimentary glasses of champagne. This is the second time Sea Monkey has done a little something to make a friend's birthday special which I love and appreciate so we will be back!

We started with a bottle of wine and some bread and butter absolutely loved. Then we got the fried olives because our server recommended it and WOW!! Favorite dish of the night We also got the Octopus, Smoked Trout Pate, and Steak Tartare and ended with the Roasted Duck. The Octopus and Steak Tartare were my top two from this. The duck did not have a lot of flavor on its own but the sauce and sides added the perfect flavors. Ended of course with an espresso martini which was one of my favorite in the city. I will definitely be back here!!

Ten years later and it still hits the same…read more @thevandalpgh has been woven into my life for over ten years now. I almost had my bridal shower here back then (before life shifted in a different direction & I said yes to myself instead), and somehow that makes coming back now feel even more full circle. Different season, same table-just enjoying some of my favorite food in the city with my favorite people. If steak frites is on the menu, it's not even a question. I'm ordering it. Every time. I'll savor it properly at the table like a civilized adult...but once I'm home and the pressure's off? Let's just say the restraint disappears because it's that good. I'm not really drinking right now-maybe a celebratory sip of champagne here and there-but if I were, their martini service never misses. It's one of those places that's consistent in the best way. Familiar, special, and somehow always exactly what I'm craving.

The seats in the booth have weird seats and you sink into them. They might want to get some new seats. The AC was broke and it was ungodly hot trying to eat. Service was a tad slow and the check prices were higher than what was listed on the menu. Luckily I caught that and they took off the overcharge which I was glad they did. Would definitely give the place another shot based on the quality of food. Value-4/5 Around $130(+tip)for two people 3 sushi rolls, two dishes we shared, 2 beers and a glass of wine.

A lot of detail was put into celebrating the former station into a glorious new life as a restaurant. Our server was attentive and nice. The lobster bisque and calamari were decent. Flavorful and a nice way to start our meal. The not so good: The Cesar salad was soggy. The quality of steak and lobster was poor, which normally wouldn't be an issue but for an $80 surf &turf dish I expected a decent quality meal. The steak felt like I was chewing paper pulp and the lobster was chewy. The mashed potatoes and butter for the lobster were so salty that it was overwhelming and couldn't be finished. The halibut was literally nothing special. It was fine (but at this price point it should not be just fine). The bed of rice was overcooked and clumped/congealed into a single mass which was difficult to eat. I did not try dessert - so cannot speak to that. Tl;dr: Overall come for a drink and a view - maybe an app - but don't pay for overpriced bad meal.
