I had never heard of this restaurant but our usual brunch group insisted we try it. So glad we did!…read more Excellent service and beautiful restaurant. I got 2 drinks - an Elderflower and a Mexican Chocolate Bourbon. Both yummy although the bourbon was STRONG. My entree was the brisket hash which I got without eggs. The brisket was cooked perfectly and cut into tiny pieces to better mix with the potatoes, I really loved it. And I got a side of grits - amazing and perfectly done! We will be back!

It was pouring raining when we arrived and we were offer the option to check our umbrellas upon arrival which was a nice added touch to our warm welcome! Made a reservation for our monthly gal hang, which was also our holiday gift exchange. Our table was ready and waiting for us. We were able to order a round of drinks to enjoy before ordering, and after we got our checks we all decided we wanted another round of bevs to open gifts and the waitress was so kind and accommodating. We got a wide variety off the brunch menu and everything was so well prepared. I got the brisket hash and pro tip - add a side of their bacon jam!!, I also ordered the egg over medium vs over easy. To note - both friends who ordered the egg or crab Benedict added sides of potato hash, a potential suggestion that these dishes have potatoes. The Elderflower cocktail was a crowd favorite beverage. I dined here once before. The experience was consistent and overall an enjoyable time!

1 Star - Deeply Disappointed in Our Experience at Core Event Center (Irwin, PA)…read more Our organization, the Hempfield Spartan Youth Football and Cheer program, hosted our annual banquet at Core Event Center in Irwin (100 Colony Dr.), and unfortunately, the experience was incredibly disappointing from start to finish. The evening before our event, we were informed by the event coordinator, Joe, that our setup time would be delayed from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM. While inconvenient, we adjusted and rearranged our delivery and setup plans accordingly. However, when we arrived at 9:00 AM the next morning, all doors were locked. After multiple calls, we learned that the chef -- who was responsible for letting us in -- had overslept. We weren't able to access the building until 9:30 AM, which significantly cut into our already limited setup time. Upon entering, we discovered the banquet hall was still filled with leftover decorations and items from the previous event, and the seating layout did not match the floor plan we had been provided. Instead of immediately setting up for our event, our volunteers had to spend valuable time cleaning and rearranging the room ourselves. Once the event began, things continued to go downhill. We had clearly communicated that our event would include both adult buffets and a kids' buffet (chicken tenders, mac & cheese, corn dog nuggets, and penne pasta), since this was primarily a children's event for ages 5-11. When it was time to eat, there was no kids' buffet provided. Only two adult buffets were set out, and when the children didn't eat the food offered, much of it was wasted. By the time many parents reached the buffet line, the food had already run out -- just 30 minutes into service -- leaving several tables of guests without meals at all. In addition, soda and nonalcoholic drink stations were not maintained, leaving the kids with limited options unless they stood in line at the bar. This created unnecessary confusion and frustration for both families and staff. To make matters worse, when concerns were brought up to management, rather than offering a sincere apology or meaningful resolution, we were met with excuses about miscommunication, staffing, and scheduling. The owner did not take accountability and instead offered to "take money off" by removing items (like chair covers) that were already supposed to be included in our package. As a nonprofit organization that works tirelessly to create special experiences for our athletes and families, this entire situation was extremely disappointing. What should have been a joyful celebration turned stressful and disorganized due to poor management and planning. We truly hope Core Event Center takes this feedback seriously and improves its communication, reliability, and professionalism moving forward. Based on our experience, we cannot recommend this venue for large group events or banquets.

The menu offered a wide variety of items and all 7 of us ordered something different...everyone raved about what they had ordered. I had the Pan Seared Salmon which had such wonderful flavors...one of the best salmon dishes I have ever eaten (and I order salmon frequently)! I just want other people to enjoy what we did!

The Revel & Roost joint website is odd. It seemed like Revel is ONLY open for breakfast and brunch,…read morebut when we got to the restaurant, both parts were open. (Looking at their website more closely, I found their dinner, but the way they advertise it on the main page is odd.) We hope to try Revel at some point. Roost had very good food and a bunch of things I wanted to try, though their menu was pretty limited. Roost has no happy hour drink specials, so if you want one of those, stop in Revel downstairs first. Roost was also fairly empty, so we didn't really need a reservation, but I like to make them to be safe if they take reservations. The dish I was most interested in (scallops) had a lot I didn't like (I tried it, since my friend got it and I'm glad I skipped it, since I'm not a fan of peppers), but they have a scallop appetizer I'd like to get next time. The dinner also came with some delicious bread and dipping sauces/spreads. There was a LOT of food, so an appetizer wasn't necessary. I ate all the best stuff from my meal, but couldn't have possibly finished my meal after sharing the appetizer. Very good service and food. I'd definitely recommend it & look forward to trying Revel.

This place is insanely gorgeous! I just loved my time here as a guest of an event I attended…read morerecently. Every room seems to have a different feel to it. You could seriously have one heck of an event here with some creativity. There's even a full working kitchen... which probably comes in handy for caterers. If I was getting married (again:) or looking for a large event space I'd look here. You could really work some cool themes into the event. I'd love to do a Mad Men themed event here, it just seems to lend itself to that era. But I kinda think you could do anything with the venue. The only thing that would be an issue is that you would absolutely need to hire a valet service. We all know what a pain in the ace parking is in the South Side, double that with a super narrow street and you're pretty much parking miles away.

The space is as versatile as it is impressive…read more I am having my rehearsal dinner, wedding AND reception at Jay's, so we're really using the whole place and couldn't be more pleased. My fiance and I were looking for a New York loft-type venue that could hold around 180 people. In New York this venue would cost the same amount that my whole wedding will cost (we looked there first and hurried it back to the 'burgh). We're planning our Pittsburgh wedding from San Francisco, so it's important that we have vendors who know what they're doing without meeting us often. Jay has been great. He's not so fantastic with email, so get him on the phone to schedule. We're even just dropped by to look at the space and never had trouble being buzzed in. Jay and his colleague Mike who works on videography are always very honest recommending vendors who know the space and can work with us from a distance. Totally worth the money for this space and the ease of working with Jay.
