It's well-located in the Strip, and parking wasn't an issue like I thought it would be. This was a group event, so we dined in their party room in the back - the main area is lovely and people seemed to really be enjoying their conversations and food. Service was excellent - our staff were attentive, polite, and knew just the right way to be helpful but not distracting. Their recommendations were spot on and I really liked how they packed up the food that remained at the end of the event and had it ready for people in our party. The skirt steak, chicken, and striploin our party had were amazing and perfectly cooked / seared. The carrots, mashed potatoes, Caesar salad, and beets were phenomenal - super fresh and not over-prepared or fussed with. Quality ingredients require that sort of respect, and I really felt that the kitchen aced these. Dessert was delicious, as expected, and the wine pairings highlighted our meal. Overall, a marvelous and nostalgic evening for me, and we will most certainly be back!!!!

Avoid this restaurant. They make mistakes constantly on togo orders…read more On day one, I had ordered a bread pudding and paying for it. After waiting 30 minutes for it, they decide to come out and tell me that they are out of bread pudding. It would've been beneficial to know that prior to paying, however, they did not even offer a refund. Instead, they told me they would give me a tiramisu instead. On day two, I placed an order for a salad with a chicken skewer upcharge. Upon getting my order and opening the container, I saw that the skewer was not in there despite being charged $10 for it. The other items here at the restaurant were not good, and I do not recommend this as they don't want to make good quality food. Lobster ravioli is pretty dry and tough to chew. Tiramisu is missing that earthy coffee flavor. Chicken caprese says that it comes with fresh mozzarella, however, they only gave us small circle of cheese on one side of the sandwich (covers about 1/4 of the sandwich). Do not get the truffle fries, they are the exact same taste as the normal fries. Last, the crab and shrimp dip is highly inconsistent. The first day, it was good and actually had pieces of shrimp. The second day, zero shrimp. In the end, this restaurant has several deficiencies that they do not seem willing to resolve.

It's great that they let you sample the wine before committing, we went with a really full bodied Italian red and I don't normally like Italian wine! It was also somehow so floral?

Overall, it wasn't the best fish fry I've had, but I appreciated their heart and service. We actually stayed a while and they didn't rush us out. I would definitely come back to try some of their regular food.

I easily grabbed a seat at the bar and the folks working were so nice and friendly! I was there solo and they didn't treat me any differently than larger groups, which I so appreciated. I tried the rose and loved it so much that I bought a bottle to go. Brought it back home and indulged! If I'm ever in Pittsburgh again (which I will be), I know I'll be stopping back here.
