Had high expectations for this place but the food just wasn’t that great :/ I ate solo and even tried to fit in 3 dishes but neither of them really hit. Pierogi were nicely crisped on the outside but the romesco-like sauce on the bottom made the dish more on the acidic side, especially since there was already pickled relish on top, and I found myself wishing for more fat or sweetness. I actually used ricotta that came with bread and it tasted much better with it. Lobster roll filling was excellent but I wished they’d actually toasted the bread on the inside and not on the outside. Eating soft white bread of which there was a lot just didn’t feel great. Finally, the skate had good flavor and shishitos were a cute touch but the fish was severely undersalted (it’s a thick fillet) and the sauce on the bottom was, again, mostly acidic and didn’t help much.
Super romantic vibe inside and excellent service. Drinks were good, not great (I enjoyed their version of penicillin but the funghi one had no funghi flavor).

I had one of the best birthday dinners here! I came with my boyfriend and there isn’t a single negative thing to say about our dinner experience. Our waiter was wonderful and the food, drinks, and dessert were amazing. We will definitely visit again to celebrate special occasions or even just for a date night ?

5 stars isn't enough. Simply outstanding flavor combinations and outstanding preparation and presentation. The honey-nut squash ravioli is a perfect dish. Tremendous.

Firstly, let's clear the air: I'm a friend of the restaurant. But trust me, my love for solid food and meticulous detail keeps my opinion unbiased.
Number 1: When you step in, the wait staff welcomes you or your group, making you feel at home with genuine smiles and solid eye contact. The friendly vibe sets the tone, even if there's a short wait. While I have a soft spot for the outdoor seating, the interior decor is a masterpiece. Every detail, from the silverware and plates to the fresh flowers and candles (when did you last see that?), adds a one-of-a-kind touch to your dining experience.
Number 2: The bread service? It was generous and pleasantly unexpected for a place of this caliber. LILITH goes above and beyond. And the appetizers and entrees? "Good" doesn't even begin to describe them; we need new words in the English vocabulary. The Yucca Pierogies and Tuna Tartare (yes, even this far from Delaware Bay) are out of this world. Save room for dessert—Baked Alaska and Peach Frangipane Tart will take you to planet Pluto and back to your restaurant seat.
While filling up on the bread is tempting, I recommend sharing everything on the menu with friends. This way, you get to sample various dishes, enhancing the dining experience and making it more memorable.
Number 3: Lilith is a rising star in the culinary world, and it's only getting better. I can't wait to see where it goes next. Our city is incredibly fortunate to have a place of this high grade. Lilith is not just a restaurant; it's becoming a landmark, a solid institution that sets the bar high for future dining experiences in Pittsburgh. I'm thrilled to be part of its journey and watch it flourish.

I know my pictures aren’t the best but it was dark outside unfortunately. First let’s start off with the drinks, I asked what fountain drinks they had and she says they only have cans of Diet Coke and regular coke which wasn’t true since the server serving a different table listed all the other options they had like Dr Pepper, sprite, etc I found that to be a bit odd. Anywho I ended up getting a non alcoholic drink it was really good but basically all ice. The lobster rolls were good nothing super special though I could barely taste the lobster. The main entree we got was okay it was more of a side dish in my opinion (forgot the name of it) and the dessert was decent basically just fudgey dark chocolate with hints of nuttiness. And the coffee liqueur was so strong wasn’t very complementary to do the dessert. Overall 6/10

The staff were all really nice and welcoming The food was delicious. We had Complimentary bread with Olive oil and whipped ricotta starters: oysters, lobster roll, pierogis, salad, Entree: steak, sea bass Dessert: cheesecake, chocolate cake
Everything was delicious!!! If I had to pick something to NOT have it would be the dessert. We ate way too much. The food was really good.
It’s a quaint space with a quarry atmosphere. They serve the food on eclectic dishware.

Amazing restaurant! Very creative menu. Every dish was just fantastic. Highly recommend the sweet corn soup if it's on the menu. Also the filet with its sauce was just indescribable. This is a small restaurant so definitely recommend reservations. Landon was our server and was excellent. Very attentive and described the menu very well. The chocolate dessert is the bomb! The homemade bread is worth every calorie! We will be back!!

We ate here tonight after trying weeks to get a reservation...the drinks and food were awesome. We started with drinks and had lobster roll for starter, simply great. I had the beef filet, done perfectly and my girlfriend had the sea bass also done perfectly and so fresh. The atmosphere was awesome, we ate outside on a beautiful night. I highly recommend this restaurant and will return soon. Thank you for a perfect night.
