I would have to say this is my favorite E Ohio Street restaurant (don't tell the others!) I have been to the bar a few times and lucky enough to snag a dinner reservation with my husband for a wonderful date night. You're greeted by welcome bubbles (THE greatest invention, I have to say), and then the food comes and the bliss continues. Everything there is delicious, trust me. I hope to be back soon! read more

I have waited to come here for years, and based off of the stellar reviews I was really looking forward to our reservation. My friend and I came here on a weeknight, and our reservation was the earliest possible. We actually waited out front for someone to open the door for us. We don't see each other much, so we weren't in a hurry. As soon as we sat down, I loved that we were greeted with a welcome cocktail. Sadly, this was also when we began feeling rushed. Although no one was in the restaurant, we were told that we had a two hour limit. Understandable, we never intended to be here all night but it was difficult to be greeted that way, and enjoy our meals. The food was good, but I will say that the portions were extremely small. In addition, the drinks were good but very pricy. My friend had the pork belly, and I had the fish special. We also splurged on drinks, appetizers, and desserts. All of which were very tasty, yet tiny. I'm happy we came here, so that we could check it out. I wouldn't put this on my "Must go to in Pittsburgh" list, but if you're in the neighborhood, and have reservations I would say to try it out. read more

Siempre Algo - Ceaser salad - New American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

We made reservations for my wifes birthday here and the accommodated us extremely well. We started with the pork rillettes with a baguette and for mains we got the beef short rib and the crispy pork belly. The beef short rib was wonderfully savory and had nice accompaniments, but oh dear lord the crispy pork belly was absolutely perfect! To start, the pork belly was exceptionally crispy on the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside. Everything on the plate paired well with each other and the belly itself, I highly recommend this dish. The cocktails were also quite fun. Our favorite (so much so we ordered multiple) was for whom the bell tolls as it has a very unique smokey and spicy taste. Really i have nothing critical to say of this place. I would put it in the top 3 places Ive been here so far, and for special occasions it cant be beat. read more

I've been here two times and both times have been exceptional. Kristen was my server both times and she is one of the kindest and most thoughtful waitresses I've ever had! The cocktails here are unique and elegant. I've tried a few of them and none of them have disappointed! The duo of pork (pictured) melted in my mouth and was delectable. I am normally not a huge fan of celery, but I could easily eat the celery that was in this dish. The chocolate hazelnut tartlet was very rich and the sorbet was the best sorbet I've ever had (and I eat a lot of sorbet)!! Overall, my two experiences at this restaurant have been phenomenal and I hope to go again soon. read more

My hubby made a reservation for 5pm at Siempre Algo this week. On street parking was not a problem at that hour on a Saturday night. Beginning at 6pm, parking is free. Siempre Algo loosly translated mean "Always Something", so our excellent server Kristen told us. The dining room is open with high ceilings and a separted bar by a half wall. The a mix of holiday and contemporary music volume was just right. The menu is presented on iPads and a glass of bubbles sets the tone for a delightful meal. There is a full bar and a number of cocktails and beers on the menu. The Brew Dog Punk, non-alcohol beer is a lightly hoppy in flavor. There are a number of tasty offerings for starters on the menu and we settled for the fondue. This was an excellent choice for sharing. It comes with perfectly roasted potato chunks, toasted sourdough bread and a pickled cauliflower that is both sweet and sour. The portion is big enough for three. My steelhead trout had one side seared. It was perfectly cooked. My hubby had the beef cheeks which he said were reminiscent of a comforting potroast. Tender and tasty with a sause. Both meals were excellently prepared and flavorful. Our server Kristin was attentive and helpful. We were not rushed in our meal even as the restaurant became busier. Siempre Algo is a worthwhile repeat stop.. read more

I have no idea why this restaurant isn't just the talk of the town. The vibe here is flawless... no matter what your taste, this delivers. Not loud, but trendy. Every single "ambience" box checked. Service? These people seriously care about what they do here.. you are not leaving unhappy. The staff here is probably what sets it truly apart... they keep their staff... and they are all "best in class" awesome. Bartender might be the best in the city, for real. Food is amazing and the new fall menu is, I think, their best look ever since opening several years back. Tonite, we tried a roasted chicken that debuted on the fall menu today... there are just no words to describe how incredible a roasted chicken can be. Who knew!?!? Several salads and vegetarian options added recently that look amazing. Can't wait to try every one. Hint: there are two tables at the windows, each seating 2 persons. Looking for a romantic spot? Reserve one of those and thank me later. read more

One of the best sea bass I have ever had. I can't wait to try their other fish entrees now. Sad that they didn't continue my favorite apple martini of all time but the food makes up for the disappointment! Beautiful space. Lovely atmosphere. read more

My partner and two friends had dinner here tonight. Our server, a recent transplant from Los Angeles, was knowledgeable and personable. Their version of an old fashioned did Wisconsin justice. The blue crab soup was a liiittle spicer than I would have wished, but it was tasty and the corn WAS sweet. The Atlantic salmon was SPECTACULAR. The candied lemon atop the peach and ginger panna cotta was the proverbial icing on the cake. A perfect meal! read more

Siempre Algo - KUROBOTA PORK TENDERLOIN - New American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

If you are looking for a small, well appointed restaurant then this place is for you. In Deutchtown, the interior is monochromatic with comfortable seating. Grant was our waiter and he was passionate about doing his job and the menu. While not extensive, is thoughtful. He gave us a small glass of champagne and ordered the Grilled Polenta and Shrimp with a medley of asparagus, mushrooms and barley. Excellent. We finished with a pavlova, which was tasty. I highly recommend this gem of a restaurant. read more

Siempre Algo - Great painting. - New American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Visited her with friends a few weeks ago for a girls dinner! We were served a glass of bubbly to kick off our experience which was a nice surprise. We each had a cocktail, and ordered a number of the starters and salads for the table. We enjoyed each and every item - the ingredients were fresh and the kitchen was open so we could see the chef and team at work! We each ordered some different mains to taste each others, and tried every single one of the desserts! We enjoyed the entire experience, and spent about 3 hours in total! It was a fantastic meal and overall experience. I am gluten free, and they it very clear what I could eat, and which could be modified! Would highly recommend for a special night out. It's certainly a great place for a special occasion! read more

First time visiting Siempre Algo and we had a great experience! As a habit, we typically get reservations but it wasn't too packed the night we went. It is a smaller restaurant so keep in mind you might want to have reservations just in case! The ambiance was nice--low lighting made it feel intimate and cozy. The bar was really cool too I think it would be fun to pop in and grab a drink since their cocktail menu has some exciting drinks. When we sat down they offered their filtered water and complimentary glasses of bubbly which was a lovely touch! I've never had that happen before at a restaurant. For started we ordered, the carrot salad (a special that night), the spring salad, and Bavarian style pretzels. All were excellent! A stand out was the dressing on the spring salad-- so vibrant and fresh. For our mains, we ordered the Socca Tart and the Baba O'Reilly. Both were great and had good flavors in both. And to top of off we ordered dessert and picked the ice cream! WOW their vanilla, bourbon and sea salt ice cream was fabulous! Definitely some of the best ice cream I've had. The portion is also very large perfect for splitting. The cocktails were also unique and fun--we ordered the SOS and Beerloma (Paloma with beer) and both were very good. Overall, we had a great date night and the service was great! Never felt rushed and the dress was pretty casual. We saw people dressed up for a celebratory dinner and someone in leggings and running sneakers. We would definitely come back! read more

Table for two for Valentine's Day at Siempre Algo seemed like just the ticket. We enjoyed a four course tasting menu over the course of several hours. The food was interesting and delicious and the surroundings were definitely romantic. When we arrived, we were greeted with a fresh long stemmed rose and a glass of bubbly rose. Our server was really terrific. Fun and interactive but not too intrusive for this Big Kahuna of date nights. It seemed, at various times during the meal, that they were a staff person short because the maitre di and another woman stepped in occasionally to see if we needed anything or to deliver food. They helped bridge the time gaps in delivery. To start, we enjoyed an arctic char and radish amuse bouche and the lobster bisque and Bibb salad. The bisque was absolutely sublime. There was just enough lobster meat and the sherry didn't overpower the delicate taste of the fish. The salad was super fresh and the pickled apple was interesting. Our second course consisted of the bone marrow with grilled bread but was a little light on the actual marrow, which was a little disappointing. The Migas featuring brown butter focaccia, super yummy and spicy chorizo, and tender asparagus paired with braised octopus was tremendous. Following a refreshing granita, our main entrees included the braised pork shoulder with grilled cabbage, an incredible herbed jam, and a pork reduction was so tender it melted in my mouth with layer after layer of flavor. Superb! The seared scallops were expertly prepared and came with artichokes and fingerling potatoes over this delicious sauce. We finished the meal with black forest mousse with tart cherries that was just delicious. We really loved our meal here. It is a little on the pricey side but it's a terrific place for a special dinner. read more

I truly don't know where to begin as I cannot speak more highly of my experience with Siempre Algo. I live on the east side of town and don't venture much to the north side but for this place, the trip is so worth it! When you walk it it's a quiet updated interior with an open face kitchen. Just as your getting seated you are brought a little taster of the nights "bubbly" which is such a nice, intimate touch. The waiter was very kind and well versed with the menu. Their cocktail list is fantastic, very unique and the bar tender is very knowledgeable and can basically make anything you ask. For drinks we got "the drs order" and the apple picking mock tail - both were delicious! The menu itself is simple yet intricate. Very different dishes that are so fresh and beautiful. We had a hard time choosing but went with the delicata squash and the mushroom and grain. The chef himself brought over the apps to the table and they were to die for! The mushroom being my favorite. For entrees all three of us couldn't resist the monk fish and boy were we glad we did. Cooked perfectly. We finished dinner with the flourless chocolate cake and hummingbird cake. Both very different and very delicious in their own way. Aside from the food the service was excellent! It is a very small group, just 1 waiter, 1 bartender, 3 chefs. They all work very hard and it is incredible to watch them manage all of the tables by them selves. Kuddos to you the team and thank you for an incredible dining experience!! read more

Wonderful experience start to finish, highly recommend! Ambiance is cozy, a little dark but perfect for date night. You can tell they care about cleanliness. They have a special air filtration system and the hand dryers in the bathrooms have a special plasma that fights germs. You also have to show proof of vaccination to dine here. They start by giving you a surprise glass of champagne, talk about starting with a bang. We ordered the pork rillettes with the house made baguette for an appetizer, which was delicious, especially the soft, warm, crusty bread. I got the Arctic char and my husband got the winter stew, which came with spicy house hot sauce that my husband loved. For dessert we had the best ice cream we've ever had in our life - homemade bourbon vanilla sea salt that came with a shortbread cookie. It was the perfect ending to a perfect meal. Would definitely come back! read more

Amazing experience! So many great things - we had the pate with a fresh baguette and the best butter I've ever had; stratciatella (burrata) with these amazing mushrooms and marinated cherries; summer tomatoes over whipped feta that you wanted to lick off of the plate. We finished off with vanilla, bourbon and sea salt ice cream with a shortbread cookie. Everything was just wonderful. Server was attentive but not annoying, friendly but not overbearing. Just a lovely night, highly recommend. :) read more

*HIGHLY RECOMMEND* I don't go over to the north side as much, but for Siempre Algo, it's worth the drive. The staff were friendly and hospitable. My partner and I were given complimentary bubbly as soon as we arrived. Cocktails: Ion - Sweet, refreshing, a bit citrusy, yummy. 8/10 Samurai 75 - Less sweet than ion. If you enjoy very slightly sweetened green tea, you might enjoy this. It's refreshing. 6/10 Appetizer: Bavarian-style soft pretzels - This dish was so well executed. I mean a soft pretzel is just bread and typically I try to avoid it. But this soft pretzel along with the mustard, were pretty good. I'm not really a soft pretzel and mustard kind of person but I was really blown away by this dish. Got me excited for what was coming next. 8/10 Entrees: Crispy pork belly - The pork belly slices were, in fact, crispy. Well seasoned and the salad underneath was delicious. I left nothing on the plate. Nothing. The portion size was just right, not too much, not too little like those ultra fancy restaurants. Dish was executed so well. Who knew the humble pork belly and asparagus could taste this good? 10/10 Beef short rib - Omg, the meat was so tender. All of the different elements of the dish complemented each other well. Again, portion size was just right. No leftovers. 10/10 Dessert: Chocolate and peanut butter tart - The crust was to die for! The caramelized banana was a nice touch. The filling was good. If you like Reese's peanut butter cups, you'll definitely like this one! 10/10 Parking: Not difficult to find. Found parking on the side street a block over from the restaurant. Overall: Amazing place! Such a gem, really. Great for a nice date or even a special occasion. read more

Amazing as always. Our favorite place in the city. Food and service are always great.

This was out first, long-awaited trip to Siempre Algo and we left very happy. The menu is small, but full of great options, and we started with some reasonably priced drinks. The options are good all around -from wine to cocktails to beer. For starters we opted for the chicken liver pate and the pork rilletes. Both are spreads, and the menu is a bit confusing for ordering these items. You can either choose to have them with a french baguette or soft pretzels. The menu indicates if you go for the soft pretzel option,you get two for each order (thus 4 total), but we were only given 2 in total. However, the pretzels come with a delicious mustard to dip, which goes mostly unused if dipping into the appetizers. SA should simplify this, because when you get the bill it looks like you actually put an order in for 3 appetizers. Either way, all were great - the pate was creamy and with great flavor and an interesting layer of hardened fat on top which while at first appears unappetizing, was a great touch when tasted. The pork rilletes were good too, though I think I prefer smoked fish in this form over pork. For entrees we had the pork belly and veal sweetbreads. The dishes are very esthetically pleasing and plated. The veal was very good, some fried and some wrapped in prosciutto. It was accompany with peas and greens. The pork belly was good too, though it was slightly on the dry side, but not to the point of a turn off. A sauce on top could have spruced things up a bit, perhaps for both dishes. We were too stuffed for dessert but will certainly be back in the future to give them a shot. read more

We left super hungry. We got two appetizers and two entrees and two glasses of wine - still left hungry. The service was personal, which was nice, but it was also overbearing. Servers seemed upset when we didn't order more. The menu is so limited, understandably so with a more artisan place. Yet, the portions were exceptionally small and the combinations didn't work. Also on a horrible street. Witnessed several drug deals which sounds dramatic but it's true. I always avoid this neighborhood in North Side and for good reason. Wouldn't go back and wouldn't recommend for a nice dinner read more

Easily one of the best meals in Pittsburgh! The quality, portions, and price were excellent. Our service was also incredible (as former service ipls tip your servers well everywhere, but it was uniquely great service). read more

We came here for our anniversary on a Friday. Our reservations were for 5 PM because we planned on a show afterward. Unfortunately we arrived 5 minutes early and because they don't open until 5 had to stand in the rain outside. Once inside the restaurant was dimly lit for a nice atmosphere. Our waitress was very nice and provided a complimentary champagne. We started with the Alpine Fondue which was fantastic. Unexpectedly the pickled cauliflower was a great choice to dip. Then we shared two entrees - their Wagyu Beef Cheeks and Veal Shortbreads. Never having shortbreads we wanted to be adventurous; they were crispy on the outside and velvety like liver on the inside and had a nice sauce. One of us doesn't like liver so that was not a good choice, but the other enjoyed it. The beef was tender and cut with a fork much like a slow cooked pot roast. Unfortunately most everything was heavily salted which overpowered any other flavors. The accompanying kale mixture for both entrees might have been the worst as it was mushy and didn't taste good. Overall not a place we'd return to but it may suit others. More like 2.5 stars. read more

Siempre Algo is a gem on the North Side! Not only was the food of quality, but their service was exceptional. Our waitress was so knowledgeable and helpful. In addition, they greet all diners with a customary house sparkling (we each got a glass of blanc de blancs) which I've never seen done in PGH! Having a nice cheers was the perfect way to start the evening. The food and cocktails were all amazing. The vegetable dishes were pretty large and shareable, so I would totally recommend sharing those for the table. All of the entrees were fabulous. The beef wagyu was incredibly tender and delicate - it just melts in the mouth!! I ordered the sweetbreads (veal thymus glands), because I've never tried it before. It ended up surprisingly tasty, slightly juicy, and tender. It did remind me of chicken though haha. The better part of the dish were the roasted sunchokes served underneath. Sunchokes are a type of root that has an earthy and nutty taste. I would recommend ordering the sweetbreads as an appetizer and sharing this among the table if you're feeling adventurous! Lastly, my friend got the artic char which was probably my favorite out of our group's dishes. The salmon skin was delightfully crispy and the meat itself was perfectly juicy and soft. Next time I come I will order this for myself. Sadly I was looking forward to trying the foie gras that a friend kept raving about, but looks like the menu does change often and would be a rotating special. Hopefully, they will bring that back! Bottom line: fantastic restaurant, especially for my adventurous foodies. Cheers! read more

We are very, very good cooks and tend to judge fine restaurants pretty hard. "If I had the ingredients, could I make this?" The answer at this restaurant was, "probably not." The ingredients are one thing. They were superb. But then the kitchen took those ingredients and applied exceptional skill, time, and technique to make things that were truly special. The wait staff was cheerful, prompt, and knowledgeable too, but it was the sheer quality of the food that stood out. Specifically, we had the chicken liver pate (a 9 for what it was, that would have been a 10 with some special touch like a bit of pickle); the carrot-lemongrass soup (a 7 for us); the arctic char (a 10, could not have been better, and beyond our skill); and the beef cheeks (another 10). Nicely rounded wine list too, with music that wasn't too loud. We could actually hear each other and our waiter without yelling, but not the conversations next to us. read more

I'm honestly torn between 3 stars and 4 stars for this place, I'm going to give them the benefit of 4 stars because my parents liked their food more than I did and I had a really bad week and was looking forward to this dinner so much that my experience might be tarnished unfairly by my disappointment/let down. For me, it was fine/good but I really wanted it to be great/amazing, so I feel kind of bummed out. The space: very nice, an enjoyable vibe which I really enjoyed. The staff: AMAZING! My waiter was so nice and considerate and he honestly deserves a high five for his excellent service. I didn't get his name, but he was fantastic. The drinks: really great and so reasonably priced! I got one called "Thunder from Down Under" which had kiwi and it was was fantastic! My dad got an old fashioned which he really enjoyed as well. One tiny complaint: I thought the drink could have been a smidge stronger, but it was not super pricy so I'm not that bothered. The food: here's where I was a little bit let down. We got a few apps: -the pretzels: honestly tasted really dry/stale and old. Not enough mustard for the amount of pretzel -the beet salad: was recommended by the waiter and LOOKED beautiful! Alas, although the orange beets were lovely, the red ones were a bit Al-dente, the chips were burnt and had a horrible bitter flavor, and the sun chokes had no salt and were also "charred" which made them bitter too. The dressing was good, but as someone who loves sunchokes I was sad that they didn't get a chance to shine here. I also just think this dish was pretty bad--I'm talking barely edible unfortunately. -the baguette: my dad's favorite, really good bread. Worth 4$? I say ‍ my dad says yes. Entrees: -my dad got the beef cheek and we all agreed it was a show stopper! Very tender and nice. He raved about it and loved it -my mom got he veggies and chickpeas. She liked it a lot and enjoyed that it wasn't like a token vegetarian dish. It tasted balanced and like a lot of care went into it -I got the Arctic char. It was good, but I always order salmon/fish so maybe I'm just hard to impress. The skin was nice and crispy but I felt like the dish was missing something, maybe more acid? It was just a little flat for me Dessert: Here's where things declined. -my dad really liked his vanilla ice cream which bourbon and sea salt -my mom thought the passion fruit tart filling and the fruit on top was good, but she didn't care for the shell -I got the chocolate tart which was supposed to have chocolate pastry cream. It was completely liquid and not set at all. Like water. I sent it back and the chef apologized and said it shouldn't even have gone out. This is fine...BUT: I only said something because I like to cook and bake so I know what pastry cream is supposed to look like. Not everyone does. I bet many people would have eaten and paid for that because they figured it was fine. Either the chef is not looking at everything that comes out of the kitchen/not paying attention, or he thought I'd be too dumb to know what unset pastry cream looks like and I'd just blindly eat my chocolate soup. Why did it go out? SOMEBODY didn't care that it was un-serveable and just decided that it didn't matter, I wouldn't notice, or just didn't care. Either way, it makes me kind of mad and really left a sour taste in my mouth. I'm honestly getting a little riled just writing this. If it isn't right, it should even go out and the fact that it did is really disconcerting. So I would give it 3 stars (if that) but given my parent's experiences and the fact that the prices were not terrible, I will give it 4. However, I hope someone from the restaurant read this and tells the kitchen not to send out bad products! Also, give that great waiter some recognition because he was amazing (even if he did sell up a bad salad lol) Edit: I talked to my parents and we agreed that the last course really made us not want to come back. Either 1) they hoped I would be too dumb to notice and just eat it, 2) didn't know it was bad (unlikely: it was soup), 3) nobody was paying attention and somehow didn't notice that what was supposed to be a custard was literally a liquid???? (also an issue). Maybe if they had comped my entire meal as an apology, or even if the chef had personally come to apologize instead of leaving it to the poor waiter, that would have been a meaningful gesture. Unfortunately we felt like this parting experience really spoiled things. Too bad! read more

If I could do half-stars Siempre Algo would get 4.5. It's SO close to 5 out of 5. The only big con I have is that my roasted chicken felt like that dish where they have it so they can say they have a chicken dish. It was a bit uninspired, even with the broth flavors. The Spinach and Garlic dumplings were amazing, but I have to agree with others who have said its whelming. I tried some of my partner's Mediterranean Socca Tart which was excellent and she raved about her bite of her mom's trout. Her dad (her parents were in town visiting) got a special pasta dish that was special that night. He liked it quite a bit and it drew good comments from us too. It was our appetizers--we shared the Crispy Pork Belly, Heirloom Carrot Salad, Homemade pretzels and the Roasted Spiced Cauliflower--though that drew rave reviews. The pretzels were hot and fresh and the mustard was amazing and the crispy pork belly also got high marks from us. Honestly, all them were incredible. I think I still would have stuck with my score had I gotten a different main course, but Siempre Algo is a gem, no doubt about it. I want the recipe for those spinach-garlic dumplings! read more

I loved it here! Can't wait to come back. The entire experience was wonderful. We were greeted by friendly staff. We were given complimentary rose when we sat at the bar. Our bartender was friendly and helpful. I ordered the Poma. It was amazing! Highly recommended. Tequila, grapefruit, a kick of chili. So very good! Our server, Brian, was friendly, personable, engaging and helpful. We ordered two starters, 1 midcourse and 2 entrees (2 people total). We were very full! Next time we will most likely only order one starter. So many items looks delicious it was hard to just pick one or two! We ordered the deviled eggs (salty, chilled, yummy!), cauliflower (tender and flavorful), potato and cheese midcourse, red snapper (perfect blend of flavor and spice) and Mediterranean tart. We had a great experience from start to finish and cannot wait to come back! read more

A delicious dining experience for tapas and drinks with a moody chic vibe. I came with my significant other late on a weeknight after our first dinner option was closed - and were absolutely thrilled with the outcome. The dining room was still pretty full at 9PM on a Friday night, and when the host asked if we had reservations we were a little taken aback. Luckily, we were seated right away and told right away that they served each customer a complimentary glass of champagne to start off the evening (with a valid ID of course). Nothing like clinking some free bubbly to celebrate a good decision! Siempre Algo's menu is more suited to light, tapas-style fare than hefty filling meals, so I'd recommend coming with friends and expecting to pay a little more for the quality of the meal. We started off with some creamy Deviled Eggs - very truffle and very mustard, but less of the promised foie gras, and the recommended rose (Charles and Charles) and Atwater Vanilla Java Porter. Our hostess was the definition of gracious and offered to let us taste the roses before committing. The next two courses, starting with the Crispy Pork Belly, blew us away. It's been a while since I've had glazed pork belly this good, where the first sensation of crunch gives way to a tender, rich bite that has you savoring each forkful. The pea puree beneath wasn't my favorite since it tasted like it was made with goat milk, but bae loved it. We had wanted to order the Soft Shell Crab as our entree, but were forced to choose a plan B because they were out. The Strip Loin Steak turned out to be a more than satisfying choice. The pre-cut slices of steak were another testament to the prowess of the meat master(s) at work in the kitchen: perfect texture, and seasoned just enough to let the flavor of the steak itself shine. I wasn't sure I could find another form of potato to love, but the potato croquette showed me the world is full of pleasant surprises, and the chantarelle mushrooms were exquisite. Had I not been already blown away by the food, I would continue to wax eloquent about Siempre Algo's ambience. Just kidding, I'm gonna do it anyways. It's the perfect gathering spot for young twenty-somethings all the way up to your hip uncle/aunt who doesn't mind mood lighting with their drink of choice. All the waitstaff were helpful and friendly, and it takes some special people to not only refill your water glass, but replace the real wax candle on your table every time you accidentally blow it out when you laugh (which I did 3 times). Siempre Algo is in a more happening part of North Shore where street parking is not the easiest, but head down one of the side streets and you should be able to find something pretty easy within walking distance of the restaurant. read more

Great hidden gem! Food was very unique and all different styles! Just a great experience

This was shocking My wife and I wanted to eat there last Saturday night. No on-line tables were available so I called and asked if we could walk I and sit at the bar on Saturday night. I was told "yes". We arrived at 5 PM and upon arrival we were turned away by the "hostess." She said " I don't know who you talked to, but we are not serving at the bar tonight. It was clear that she was not interested in trying to help. She just summarily turned us away. What kind of message does that send? We can't wait to go back again....NOT Fortunately Fig and Ash Restaurant was great!!! read more

We had dinner here while on vacation and greatly enjoyed the food, service and ambience. Our server was Kristen, who was attentive and friendly. You can tell this is the type of establishment where they really care about delivering their best. I say this because the chef went out of his way to prepare the chicken in a different manner to make sure there was no gluten related item on my plate, though I said I was fine to have the gravy, which had some gluten, on the side, as I can have some but not too much gluten. I did greatly appreciate his attention to detail and my food was out of this world delicious! The chicken was so juicy and tender; the potato "thing" he created was crispy and also, delicious. My husband had the trout and enjoyed it very much. We also had the beet salad as a starter. It was good, but it could have had a bit more salt for my taste. We found street parking easily up front. I would definitely return when in the area. read more

First time at Siempre Algo and it was lovely. The food!! The cocktail, Teatime, is finely crafted. I ordered two. Our waiter, Grant, gave us the perfect amount of attention and has a warm personality. We ordered monkifish and the pork belly. Muchas gracias to the chef. The skin/crust on both were so on point I made myself pause to savor it each time. Portion size was perfect. We started with the mushroom dish and it so was savory--ever had a mushroom that tastes like carne?! Yum. We made a reservation but if you can't, get there early to sit at the bar. read more

The menu doesn't say "small plates" so when I ordered the polenta and shrimp ($26) I thought I would be more food. It had a small amount of the poblano sauce, which had good flavor, but overall it was on the bland side and not enough food for the price, IMO. My cousin ordered the Mushroom and Asparagus and that that tasted much better and there was more of it. We liked the Passionfruit tartlet and the chocolate hazelnut, but not the pavlova. We wouldn't come back. read more

I wish Dayton Ohio have these kind of restaurants. This menu was awesome ambulance was awesome the service was awesome it was not loud. Did I say it was not loud because everywhere in Dayton almost as loud. This is a five star restaurant. read more

My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate our anniversary/Valentine's Day and I'm beyond glad we ended up finding this place and landing a last-minute reservation! Our server Grant was accommodating, helpful, and knew the menu inside and out. Each piece in the dishes work together to form complex yet cohesive flavors. The cherry-on-top was Grant and a few other staff members offering some great brunch suggestions for the following day since we were just visiting town for the weekend. You get every dollar's worth out of this place, from the ambience to the well thought-out menu. The small size of Siempre Algo works in their favor, generating an intimate environment where the staff can be attentive to you. One of the best restaurant experiences I've had so far, and I'm only sad that I don't live closer! read more

This is such a fun restaurant! They start you off with a complimentary glass of sparkling wine, which was the De Perrière Blanc de Blancs Brut. My partner and I weren't celebrating anything - just part of dinner service! I also ordered the O.G-eez Itz because I couldn't pass trying sharp cheddar fat-washed bourbon. It had such a fun flavor combo. It was sweeter than expected, so I think they added a simple syrup to it. I'd order it without the sweetness next time. For dinner, we shared the Roasted local mushrooms and asparagus, Roasted vegetables and chickpeas, and Laurel Hill trout. I'm not a mushroom fan, but these fungi were fried perfectly, and the black-garlic tahini sauce was divine. The veggies and chickpeas had a nice Mediterranean flavor. As for the trout, it had a perfect sear - crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked inside. We ended with a decaf espresso and the Pavlova. I like a dense dessert, but this had a nice tartness and wonderful crunch. The atmosphere is nice and the booth seat are comfy. read more
