A hidden gem in Southside of Pitt. Flavorful dishes curated by the chef who has created a menu and atmosphere that invites community to share togetherness. The quality of food and the presentation is in line with the best restaurants in any city. The courtyard is tranquil, and the staff are incredibly kind.

Literally my favorite restaurant in Pittsburgh for as long as it's been open!!! Service is outstanding, the atmosphere is very simple and friendly and the chef has a way with food that is uncanny. Should have left a review here many years before now but there is no where else more consistently impressive and practical for dinner or a private party.

An incredible little flavor adventure. Charming vibes. Note: bring your own wine.

Beautiful, thoughtful plates by professional chefs. Truly some of the best food in PGH.

It was our first time experiencing the intimate ambiance and incredibly friendly yet assertive staff, and we were thoroughly impressed. Invited by friends before a show at the City Theatre, we were delighted by the diverse menu options, but the evening specials sealed the deal on our choices.

A creative twist on spinach dip left us tempted to lick the plate, and the perfectly prepared short ribs served over creamy polenta were simply unforgettable. Their innovative use of Venmo for payment is both convenient and clever—more places should adopt this approach!

The outdoor patio looks incredibly inviting, and we can’t wait to return on a warm evening to enjoy it. We’re already looking forward to satisfying our cravings for delicious entrees and experiencing their attentive service once again.

lovely food and amazing, friendly, understanding staff! Unique dishes that are flavorful with great portion sizing. The small plates are great for sharing. Lovely ambience as well both indoors and the outdoor patio. One of the best restaurants I have been to in Pittsburgh. I am vegetarian and there are plenty of options although I would be excited to see more veggie entrees :-)

Vegetarian options: one vegetarian entree (cauliflower steak) that can be made vegan

It was a very intimate and beautiful setting with some of the most delicious food I have tried. Highly recommend to anyone for date night or a special occasion, or just to try delicious food you can't find elsewhere.

Simple ingredients cooked masterfully. The salmon was buttery and flaky and the thigh confit fell apart with a fork. We were seated on the patio and brought wine with us for a wonderful experience.

This is the best hidden secret in Pittsburgh. It is not cheap - but undeniably underpriced. This will knock your socks off. Come when it’s a little lighter out and ask for patio seating. Everything is delectable. Every detail is considered.

One of my most favorite places to eat in Pittsburgh. The service is fabulous and the crew there cares! You want a magical food experience, go here. Make a reservation because tables get booked up fast. I look forward to my monthly retreat to Care Dujour!
