Horrible experience. I made a reservation through open table for a morning brunch, but when I arrived, there was no one at the host stand and the entire restaurant was completely empty. I went to the front desk of the hotel to ask if someone would be there to seat us and the concierge rudely told me that they don't accept reservations for Brick Shop, even though I was holding the confirmations in my hand? She told me I could seat myself and someone would be there to take care of me, but after 15 minutes of sitting, not a single person looked at me or came to give me a menu or take my order. Just save yourself time and don't give this business your money.

So Disappointing...I booked through the TRYP Events Manager a reservation approx 1.5 months before this BIG wknd ... it was my Daughter's Graduation, she's valedictorian and we had family in town and STAYING at the TRYP hotel. I was NOT informed the BrickShop was CLOSED, we walked in and NO restaurant so we went to the Over Eden w/NO reservations. Unfortunately, it wasn't a good experience. Beautiful views but everything else was pretty bad. I feel sorry for the staff that works up there. Expensive experience ... only fun/good for views and maybe one drink, although bar tender needs to review Old Fashion recipe.

the rooftop outside seating is attractive on good weather days, the view of downtown Pittsburgh is very unique and unmatched. Great brunch spot, menu selection and presentation.

We had the chicken sandwich and the flat bread. Both were excellent. Service was good and friendly.

Modern minimalist style. Medium-sized restaurant and bar. We were a party of two couples. The two men had well-made Manhattan cocktails and wine with dinner, and the ladies stuck with wine. We all had the beet/arugula salad to start, my date loved it; I could have done with a half salad. Three of us had salmon on risotto with asparagus; All were delicious, but the risotto was only lukewarm and this detracted from the meal. One of us had the short ribs; she oved it and we were all jealous looking at that dish. The other couple ordered a beautiful-looking limoncello cake for dessert. Two of us ordered coffee; it was free, but the downside was that it was served in Styrofoam cups, it was lukewarm, and it tasted like gas station coffee. A restaurant that can cost $120 for two (including liquor, wine and tax, but not tip) should serve real coffee. All in all OK, but the food should be warmer and they should have real coffee. One last thing, we were surprised to find live music (a singer/guitarist) but the music was too loud for talking. The music was quite pleasant, just too loud.

The food was okay. The drinks were okay. Everything was a little over priced. Valet is $10 for guests even though the entire lot was empty. I probably wouldn't make it a point to return.
I recently dined at this historic restaurant, and I have to say, it was an incredible experience. The atmosphere was charming and cozy, with a rustic vibe that truly made me feel like I was stepping back in time. The history of the restaurant was also a highlight for me, as a brick mason, I was particularly impressed with the building's structure and the way it was beautifully preserved. But what really stood out for me was the exceptional service provided by our waiter, Cody. Not only was he incredibly friendly and attentive, but he also took the time to explain the history of the restaurant to us in great detail, which made the experience all the more special. The quality of food was also outstanding. Each dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The flavors were well-balanced and expertly crafted, making for a truly memorable meal. And to top it off, the prices were very reasonable, making it a great value for the quality of food and service. In short, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. The atmosphere, history, service, quality of food, and price all deserve a five-star rating. And a special shout-out to Cody, who made the evening even more enjoyable with his fantastic service. Keep up the great work! Five Stars!

There on a Tuesday night. Almost no one else there (although Opentable said 7PM reservation for 3 was not available). Food and service were both mediocre at best. Almost not a real restaurant. Would go elsewhere
I was really excited to be able to have poutine. The menu stated it as being gluten free which made me happy because usually most gravies are not gluten free. However, they were out of the short rib. I ordered a classic burger without a bun and fries. Bartender was nice and made us lemon cello spritz drinks that were delicious and refreshing.

Good drinks and stylish dining area in the bar downstairs. Salmon dinner was OVERCOOKED and served cold. Would not go again. Appetizer of Mac and Cheese Balls was good as was the Caesar Salad. No self-parking allowed, Valet parking only -- at a cost of $10.00 is a total scam (also received a notice on my phone halfway through dinner that my car was being unlocked and when I went out to the lot, the Valet was just walking away from my car... not sure why but seemed weird)
The drinks were very good; maple bourbon cocktail. The Salmon with Risotto stole the show. It is the best dish I've had in the city, period. The red wine glaze finishes the Risotto so well and complements the Salmon perfectly. This place is a Diamond among some other great places in the Lawrenceville neighborhood.
Great place, great people!
