    Last week, my friend and I visited The Eagle before the 7:30 showing of Beauty and the Beast on its opening night. Now, I am going to take you on a journey just like the books Belle read so strap in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We had a 5:45 PM reservation, and even arrived a few minutes early. The hostess/employee (I don't want to assume positions) took me upstairs for a table right by the window, which will be an awesome view when the construction finishes. It was also a beautiful sight of that part of the city as-is.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]When I was seated, I was one of a few tables seated. It was not full or even busy at that time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Also, as we were seated, we were given waters. My friend joined me about 5-7 minutes after the reservation time. We then ordered our drinks at about 6:00/6:05 PM. From there, we waited and did not meet our waiter, who will be referred to as sweet baby angel Max from here on out, until about 6:20 PM. We ordered an appetizer and two entrees at around this time. Our orders had some modifications but nothing major. By this time, many more tables were seated upstairs and others seemingly received their alcoholic drinks and even appetizers by the time we received only our drinks around 6:30-6:40. Our drinks were big, too, which is great, but that also meant we had to drink them a little more quickly due to the time constraints with the show. We were enjoying ourselves but noticed multiple more tables receiving not only their drinks and apps but also their entrees. Once 6:55 came, we had to tell sweet baby angel Max about our predicament. I will be honest and say we suggested for our drinks to be comped at least - not only for the wait and lack of courtesy with everyone else receiving their items before us despite our arrival and reservation time, but for the fact that we would have maybe 15 minutes to eat, finish our drinks, pay, take our food back to our cars, and make curtain time. What sweet baby angel Max did next flabbered our gasts -- he said not only will our drinks be comped but our whole meal will be comped. He also helped pack our food and kept it in the back so we didn't have to worry about going back to our cars. We made sure to tip him with all we had! We are so glad we did because when we returned after the show, he had the kitchen remake the food and kept it warm for us. When you go to The Eagle, ask for sweet baby angel Max and you will not be disappointed with him, the service, or the food. Because even when they may mess up? The Eagle gets it right with their classy attitude and positive treatment of their customers. You definitely have multiple return customers just from this encounter. Thank you!!!

    hush puppies

    We missed our reservation time but they were able to find a table for us which was awesome! The greeting staff were fantastic and friendly. Our waitress was very nice but I could tell she was slammed so we just had to flag her down if we needed anything. We ordered hush puppies which were nicely fried, had a spice kick to them which was a nice surprise to normal hush puppies you're used to. The fries were good but a little too herby. We had the burnt ends mac n cheese, the pork bits were fantastic and when eating it with the mac then it's a nice bite together. The mac alone was lacking. Needed seasoned. I thought it needed a vegetable too like green onions or something crunchy would have been a nice addition. I asked for the ranch part on the side but they still topped it with it. The biscuits were nicely cooked but I think under salted. The honey butter makes it. We truly didn't order anything over-complicated and it took an hour, they were slammed for the Benedum show rush. Good to know if we come before a show.

    Beautiful bar!

    Loved this place. Was suprised to find that their kale salad was such a gem! If you appreciate a good salad I highly recommend. The chicken was good, had a sweet twang to it which isn't usually my flavor choice but still was a great meal. The bartender was my waiter and was excellent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bar was clean and had large windows that gave great light.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great bar to watch games and felt comfortable and modern.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Cornbread, collard greens, 1/4 chicken
    Michael B.

    It's not easy to get fried chicken right. It's got to be brined appropriately, have seasoning in both the meat and the batter, be moist, and have a nice crunch. The Eagle checked about every box. Excellent flavor, crispy skin, enough salt. The meat itself was slightly dry in some spots, but even that considered, this is still amazing chicken. The cornbread is almost like a dessert - moist, buttery, sweet with little corn kernels inside the cake. The greens of course were tender and also had great flavor. (Between two people, I'd recommend at least three sides.) [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place was packed on a Saturday night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The servers were laid back, friendly, and helpful with the menu. This place gets five stars.

    Food was good and so was my drink. I would eat here again. Was in walking distance of our hotel.

    The fried chicken sandwich in Downtown Pittsburgh at The Eagle has consistently been a hit for me. Each time I've gone, the service is friendly and mostly efficient. They seem to handle larger groups well and often. This past visit, I tried the Mac and Cheese as well as the Sweet Potato Crock and both of those side dishes were delicious. The sweet potato was more like a dessert and I'm not complaining. The salt of the chicken went well with the sweetness of the crock. The Mac n cheese was hot and cheesy in all the right ways. I definitely felt transported to the south!

    We LOVE The Eagle!!! We've been a handful of times and have always had a great experience. The service was great, and the food was even better. Their burnt ends mac n cheese was literally the best i've ever had... we ate it in like less than 5 minutes. I also loved how the bacon cheeseburger had chopped up bacon all over. It made sure you got a perfect ratio of bacon in every bite. You definitely can't order wrong here!

    The food here was excellent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It has a cool atmosphere inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I came later at night following seeing a play, so the service was a little slower likely to fewer staff around, but still very friendly. I definitely recommend the fried chicken sandwich.

    French Fries
    Mary T.

    Great experience! Lily, our waitress was so nice and explained in detail their menu. She was very attentive and helpful. We stopped in for dinner on Tuesday, no reservations were needed at 6:30pm and I had the Mac n cheese and the small portion of a southern chopped salad. Both were outstanding, and filling. My husband had a BLT with fried chicken ( no picture) and fries. Both really good. Parking lot across the street.

    I love love love the eagle but this was NOT GOOD tonight. [[HIGHLIGHT]]3 homeless men sitting at the bar getting water and staring at guests.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My chicken sandwich was burnt - the chicken was so burnt. Mac and cheese didn't have the garlicky flavor like normal.

    We went here on a Friday around 5pm and got seated right away. Most people had reservations, but we did not. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is pretty large.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food menu is small but so it is easy to choose food from. The alcohol and non alcoholic drink menus are huge. I got the Prosseco Punch to drink and my husband got a Guinness draft. The drinks were delicious and fairly priced. For food, I got the Burnt End Mac and cheese bowl. It was really good but a little too wet. I also got the sweet potato crock. It was definitely the star of the show and was delicious. My husband got a burger and fries, both were tasty. The food and drinks were fairly priced, especially for the area. The staff was very nice, our waitress was very attentive.

    Chicken BLT with Mac and cheese
    Marissa K.

    Food is good. Service just ok. Had a work lunch there and service could've been more attentive. It seemed piecemealed together but the restaurant wasn't busy. Server put in an extra Mac and cheese by accident. He offered it to us and stated he would take it off the bill, doing expenses and he didn't. We told him we didn't order it, he offered it and to remove it. Anywho the chicken BLT is top notch.

    Julia H.

    Drinks were good and service was great. Food was just greasy and did not taste the best for the price paid.

    BEST PITTSBURGH WING…read more We were absolutely not expecting this and still can't believe it. We didn't have major expectations but hoped it would be at least a top 5 wing and average meal. It was beyond that The French onion soup we saw online and everyone seemed to enjoy that. We're whores for it so had to get. I like mine a tad bit salty which this was and PACKED with onion chunks and breaded leeks on top. It was impossible to get a spoon fully without any inclusions. My new favorite The Tavern Burger. I'm coming fresh off 9 years without 5 Guys (elite) and this rocked me harder than that. This isn't a stupid smash burger. We got a juicy COOKED PERFECT RARE 8oz patty, topped with sautéed onions, and bacon that isn't crisped to smithereens. I like my bacon medium rare and that's exactly what I got. Then covered in one of the craziest sauces I have ever had, their gorgonzola cream. I could drink that by the gallon The wings.... I have never had a wing itself cooked more perfect in my life. The smoke and meatiness on them was so nailed that I could get 2 dozen plain and still have the same reaction. We got the Buffalo Garlic and Dry Cajun Ranch. These wings don't need drenched in sauce by any means or it would honestly ruin it. The buffalo doesn't ned to be creamy either. Perfect amount of sauce to cheese ration. The dry cajun ranch was a fucking knockout. For how great the wing is I would love to see more dry season options with them Cam got a Tavern Dip. I hate dips. I loved the shaved ribeye on it and horseradish, but I have never been an Au Jus man. Would 100000% eat it without the au jus Then the fries. Always team psoriasis through and through. Not sure if I'm coming off the Five Guys high but their cajun boardwalk style are even better. Get some spicy honey aioli to dip them in. Truly just shocked at how amazing this place is. Right over the bridge and cannot recommend enough going here before a game and walking over. Great spot right before, after and during sports. Very high Pittsburgh atmosphere going on I will be back so many times and absolutely worth going Downtown for

I went with the recommendation of the wings and got the Cajun seasoning. They were so good that I regretted asking for blue cheese for dipping.

It was definitely not traditional. The sauce was very thick and almost floury. They serve it with pork belly, which does not give the same punch of flavor to cut through the sauce as guanchali or bacon. The papardelle noodle were dry and clumpy. The dish was very heavy. Do not recommend. The place is chill. It is close to the theater. I might try it again if in the area.

    LOVED our dinner at this place…read more We came here for dinner while visiting Pittsburgh. The first thing that struck me was the interior decor. Very industrial and moody with an open kitchen/preparation area that adds some intrigue. I do like to see the happenings of what's going on as someone with zero attention span. Service was excellent. George was fantastic. He kept a close eye on us without being overbearing. He anticipated what we might need so we didn't spend one second waiting to order anything. The menu is not endless or overwhelming which, presumably, allows them to focus on the items that are listed. I have decision panic so it was kinda nice to have less things to choose from. They asked if there were any allergies or dietary restrictions so I mentioned my vegetarianism. George went through the menu and pointed out the vegetarian options including what seems like it is vegetarian but isn't. They had TWO vegetarian entree options and fortunately the non-mushroom one was something I probably would have ordered anyway: pesto with walnuts, arugula, and a very generous amount of grated cheese. To start, I ordered the Brussels sprouts whichc I was warned had fish sauce. This was fine but nothing that blew me away. GF, on the other hand, loved this. GF ordered the wedge which was brought to our attention as vegetarian with the bacon on the side, which was her request. We ended up sharing both, a large part of that was because hers came out first and I couldn't wait but I'm so glad because the wege was FANTASTIC. The dressing? holy fuck pure ecastasy. The wedge was more like a filet shape which was much easier to eat. Who decided on the wedge shape anyway? The lettuce was so fresh and crisp and went wonderfully with that orgasmic dressing and breadcrumbs. Back to my pasta. Also delectable. Noodles were al dente. The sauce was creamy and packed that pesto umami flavor. The walnuts were a really nice contrast in texture. Everything about it absolutely fucking slapped. GF ordered the mushroom entree which came served on a bed of barley which, don't mind if I do, had a few forkfuls to "sample" for "my review". Again, so fucking good. Because it was my birthday, George provided a dessert (yuzu maybe?) that was served inside a meringue-esque igloo, creamy perfect balance of sweet and tart custard with some berry business underneath. Wonderful. I almost forgot their spectacular cocktails! Holy shit, literally they have a CORN CHIP cocktail that I could not pass up. It comes with two massive cornchips on top of a flavored foam. When you bring the glass up to sip, the cornchips are right in front of your nose and their aroma sets the stage for the drink which was STRONG. It wasn't as corn chip forward as I expected but I understand that flavor is probaly hard to create. For my second drink, I ordered the blue one which was refreshing, light, and really good. GF ordered a spritz which was gorgeous "it was good". For second round, I picked out some uranium thing that was very cucumbery, GF says, "it was good". I just read it outloud to her. "it's true!"

I went there with a small group of families/kids after an outing at the Children's Museum; it was great to be able to walk over to an easy lunch that was better than the museum cafe. We'd probably come back just for this convenience. But I can also see how Federal Galley could have a sports bar feel when a Bucco or Steeler game is going on nearby. That said, the food was just ok. Portions were huge, but the dishes were kind of basic with a ton of sauciness/goopiness. My burrito from Mijo had a ton of chicken but not much in terms of beans and rice and no veggies or garnishes. My wife got a huevos rancheros bowl that just had mountains of sauce; it filled her up, made her very thirsty, and made a huge mess.

Mijo's Street Taco Entree - 4 stars - We ordered three flavors of tacos: Al Pastor with Pineapple (which my husband described as "good" and "best"), Carne Asada, and Shrimp. The sides were plain rice and beans. Usually my husband loves rice and beans, but he called these ones "interesting" and "bad." TS Cafe's Greek Salad - 4 stars - This salad contained fresh, tasty ingredients. The total price for these foods plus a soda and water was about $61.

First, this restaurant is on the 25th floor in part of the space where the law firm K&L Gates used to be. This actually used to be their lunchroom. The lunch menu was excellent. Very well-priced and everything was quite tasty. Our service was top notch as well. Daniel (our server) was excellent, taking great care to make sure we were satisfied and had everything we needed. He deserves major kudos for taking great care of us. I will definitely be back again for lunch and dinner. Check out the pool while you're there. It's comparable to any other pool. However, it was an engineering feat, as it is located on the 25th floor as well! Kudos to Elevation for a great experience and for continuing to raise the bar for Pittsburgh's restaurant scene.

    No. Just no. My son and I were headed to a show at PPG Arena and wanted to eat somewhere near by. I…read moresaw that this spot had good reviews so we thought we would try it. My son called and made reservations. The day came at I met him in the hotel lobby. We took the elevator up to the 25th (27th?? Can't remember) floor where the restaurant is. When we got there we were told that they weren't ready yet. We didn't even tell them we had reservations. So we waited. . . and waited. Finally my son walked over to the bar and told them that we had reservations. The bartender called a server out. She asked us if we were doing fine dining. I said that I wanted to check out the menu to see what they had. She took us to the back of the restaurant. We found out later that there was a nicer area but it was closed off. All of a sudden all of these people started coming in. It took us a minute and we realized that they were guests of the Embassy hotel. They must have been given tickets for free drinks. The bar line was long and stayed long. They were also given access to a very small snack buffet. The server that waited on us was the one and only server working the entire restaurant. She was constantly cleaning tables and checking on the snack buffet. So we had to wait ridiculous amounts of time to order, to get our food, and to even pay. I had ordered a cup of lobster and corn chowder. When I finally got it, it was barely room temperature. It tasted like it was straight out of a can. There was one tiny piece of lobster and about half a can of corn. I hadn't eaten since breakfast and was starving so I ate it. My son tried it and gave it a hard pass. As my entree I ordered shrimp tacos. There was seemed to be fresh pico on it but the shrimp was 90% breading. Not good. My son ordered the club type sandwich. It had a nice portion of meat on it and tasted ok. (That is what the one star is for.). Was very disappointed from start to finish. I won't be back. Ever.

They have amazing waffle fries here and the weekday specials are awesome. It's half off wine bottles on Wednesdays. We got a bottle of bubbly wine for $13?? It's unheard of. We didn't love the fan that spun over the light at one of the tables but the server let us move so that was nice. Decent spot for dinner in market square.

    A true bummer. This place has a prime time location on the square, good set up for sports and a…read moregood idea behind the menu, Gourmet Grilled Cheeses. Unfortunately that's were the good ends. First and always foremost, how was the food? An absolutely mess. Impossible to enjoy bc the sandwich falls apart immediately, simply can not pick up without losing everything inside, and greasy as all get out. I should have expected this to an extent, but a nearly $20 grilled cheese at a place that "specializes" in them, I would hope could do better than this. Service was very, very slow despite many open seats. The part that probably sent it over the top was the plate runner constantly spilling the tomato soups everytime they brought out someone's meal. Mine dripped all of the ground as he sat it down, my wife's got on her tray so the bread was just mushy on the bottom, and we saw it constantly as he walked by delivering others. Cool idea, cool location, but the rest was just bad.
