Some things were great, others were lacking. I got the steak salad and while the steak itself was great, the salad was just ok. It could've benefitted from not being DROWNED in the balsamic vinaigrette. Our service was sub par. She appeared suddenly and flat out asked if we wanted drinks. No introduction, no menu introduction, nothing. She would go on to check in infrequently. Lastly and something that is out of control of the restaurant but still harmed our experience, our table neighbors were unbarebly inconsiderate. They would yell and talk across our table to people sitting at our other side which was incredibly disruptive to me and my fiance's dining. All in all, our trip for my fiance's birthday to Uncorked could've been much better.

The inside has a small bar with seating, and quite a few tables so I would say it's good for groups. They're a wine bar and all of their wine is from Italy. We opted for a bottle of bubbly to split amongst four of us and it wasn't expensive. They also give you pistachios to snack on which is a nice touch. They handled separate checks like pros which made things easy for us.

Parker was kind enough to pick out a red and white that everyone would enjoy and the owners were so generous they gave us free chips and also samples of some vodkas and other drinks! Seriously the hospitality here was so special and absolutely created a homey and fun vibe while also keeping prices low because they don't charge a corking fee to drink their wines in store! The five of us drank two bottles of wine and it was only $8 a person and these were good quality wines. So much fun!

But, from what I had at the bar, I can tell it's a nice spot. I don't drink alcohol, so I just got a mocktail. I can't quite recall what it was called, but I thought it was awesome. It was sparkling and had a nice fruity and herbal flavor to it. Really good mocktail. My buddy got a cocktail and said it was quite good as well. The service is nice, the views are pretty cool if you're sitting by the windows, and the overall vibe of the place is super cool. I would definitely recommend this spot, and would like to come back for small plates or pastries and coffee in the morning!

I recently visited Golden Gai for dinner. I made a reservation online ahead of time. We went on a…read moredouble date and I would not recommend that in the future. The seating is basically one giant bar area (with two standalone tables in the back), so not being able to sit across from each other made it difficult to carry conversations. However, we got to sit in the coveted orange chair which was cool! For a drink, I ordered the Fu Dog. Their drink menu has detailed descriptions and also illustrated pictures of the drinks. That was nice and helped me decide what I wanted to order. For food, I ordered the ikura (salmon roe) nigiri, and miso black cod. The food and drinks are delicious. It was also neat to be able to see the food and drinks being prepared. I thought this place was really neat and the food was great! I'll definitely visit again but just with a smaller party!

Sorry we didn't eat there as it seemed perfect, not that there was anything wrong with dining inside. So why only three stars? No separate checks. Only 50/50 split. With today's restaurant computer capabilities this is a huge negative. Don't plan on going back. Another negative was the unannounced high prices of the daily specials. If you are looking to charge higher than the norm then give the price when describing those entrees and special dessert. Maybe the stars should be 2-1/2 now that I think about it.

This was our first time back since they opened December 2024 and there's been so much growth since then! They've tightened up service and we thought the menu was more cohesive now. We started off with some amuse-bouche before heading over to the dinner table for the main courses. They did a great job of explaining the ingredients and techniques used in each course and everything felt very intentional. My favorite dishes were the swordfish, duck breast, and parsnip cheesecake. Each course comes with a drink pairing and I was really impressed by the complex and unique cocktails. They give you a printout of everything you ate and drank at the end in a goodie bag along with some cookies! This is such a fun and delicious elevated dining experience that's great for special occasions or really whenever you just want to treat yourself.

This is a rarity in Pittsburgh and I'm glad it exists. We dined at Spork before they switched to…read morethe tasting menu and wasn't too fond of it-my opinion has changed! There is a hard start time as the tasting menu is done in a large group setting-serving everyone at once. So, we found ourselves wandering around the neighborhood and then standing in front of the door waiting for 6pm to strike, I felt like a creep. The area itself is an open floor plan so when they welcome you in, it's confusing to see the table we will be seated around but also see little stations for the canapés. Little awkward. We found a two-seater, and as a plus size woman I felt a bit cramped. My husband and I are both tall (5'11" and 6'3" so we were both fighting over who got the bench seat vs the little stool. There's always that awkwardness when you're looking around trying to figure out what the heck is about to happen and wondering..when is it time to EAT. We did 3 or 4 canapés which were all enjoyable-one that stands out to me had goat cheese and beets-yum! We are asked to take our seats at the large table and ...awkward again bc we are just kind of all looking around waiting. I have a sensitivity to alcohol so I did the N.A. pairing and I didn't feel like I missed out on much. The sommelier did a great job at explaining the notes and why each pairing happened. I really enjoyed the tasting menu. The chef kept us abreast of what we were trying and looped in other accompanying staff which gave us some of their backstory which was nice. I love that the restaurant has an urban garden and tries to reduce waste-that's so important. Minus 1 star because of the clunkiness of the bench area vs the large table where we ate and the cost. $275/pp plus tip isn't something that many can swing in a blue collar city.
