We had a delicious dinner! Drinks were right in. The bar tender made a non alcoholic ginger beer drink for us that was so refreshing. The Salmon was done perfectly and the portion was just enough. The Pork Chop was tasty and the stuffing was reminiscent of Thanksgiving! We saved the corn bread and fruit jam for dessert with coffee and felt so satisfied! Our server Katie was very attentive and was knowledgeable of all the menu items! Dress fancy or casual, we saw all. Come for a full meal or meet friends for drinks and a bite. 5 stars from us!

Excellent food, and we had great service ...our server MC was outstanding . It is a hidden gem, with steep steps to get to it, but once inside it is a lovely venue and the food was outstanding. Would highly recommend

Better signage downstairs would be helpful. Accidentally sat down at Apertivo Club for a few minutes.

Burger and chicken sandwich were great! We came in late on a Friday + the service was fantastic. Nice chill vibe with delicious food

My friend and I loved our hot girl dinner combo on Thursday night! It was better than even expected and can't wait to enjoy it another time!

We really enjoyed the drinks and food. Tried a few cocktails, appetizers, and split the crab cakes. The two top tables are a little close together and as the place filled up it got very loud and harder to hear the conversation at our own table. We plan to come back again though because we really enjoyed the food and drinks.

Terrible experience. We waited over 45 minutes for our reservation. There was no place to stand at the bar without being in the way and getting ran into. It was so loud it was hard to have a conversation. Food was average.

It was a very fun atmosphere. The spacing of the tables was nice and I didn't feel packed in. There's a really nice cozy nook with a fireplace which was a really nice touch. I really enjoyed the drinks and the service was amazing. The only reason I rated the food a “4” was because it didn't “wow” me. It was delicious but not over the top for me. The only other detractor is that it was quite loud due to the acoustics and the amount of people there. Sometimes it was difficult to hear my own conversation. I would definitely go back here again for either Happy Hour or a nice dinner out.

The sauces are the best! The fish dish was the best meal I’ve ever had

The food and drinks were excellent, especially the truffle fries, which are a must-try. However, the restaurant fell short of delivering the elevated experience it seems to aspire to. I was handed a dirty menu, which the waitress even referred to as “crusty,” and my wine glass had lipstick on it.

To meet the expectations of their clientele, the restaurant needs to focus on fine-tuning these details to truly provide the upscale experience they aim for.

Such a great dining experience. Food was 5/5, new favorite for spot appetizers. Truly well worth your time. The Brussel sprouts were a bit over done but would try again.

Dietary restrictions: Restaurant is accommodating for any diet.

Parking: It’s downtown Pittsburgh parking

Great atmosphere. It’s a cozy place but our group of 8 had plenty of room. Because there were eight of us, and this restaurant has a smaller menu, we had just about everything on the menu. I heard nothing but positive comments, and everything looked great.

I enjoyed the appetizer Baratta. I had the muscles entrée, and it was very good. I didn’t think it was going to be very big, but with a large pieces of wonderful toast that it came with, it was more than enough to eat.
Decent selection of wine and cocktails, too.
I also thought the prices were very reasonable.

Find somewhere else to go!!! I tried to take my girlfriend here for her birthday and it was an all-around very unpleasant experience!! The food took over an hour, was overcooked, dry and cold with no flavor. My girlfriend’s meal had a hair in it and they comped it but did not offer to replace it. She left hungry and we were both very unsatisfied!! Overpriced and under-seasoned food!

Unique hand crafted cocktails and a nice short list of wines and craft beers. A short but tempting menu, with some fancier entrees as well as some great sandwiches. Service was excellent. Loved the ambiance and vibe of the bar and dining area.
