Though I was hoping for a more quiet atmosphere, I had read originally that there was a candle at dinner for Valentine's Day. The food was excellent and the server although scattered because of the sheer busyness of the location was very courteous, and if there is an issue, it was taken care of immediately.

Attended a Festivus celebration here sponsored by the Pittsburgh Freethought Community. Wonderful party in a large, well appointed room on the second floor. Their staff was very helpful and the food was good. There are some beautiful outdoor spaces around the brewery which would be great to have a beer in if it wasn't December!
