Absolutely delicious! Everything from the cocktails to the food and atmosphere is perfect!
Really delicious brunch spot, the breakfast sandwich on the salted bagel was good. It wasn’t anything special or ingenious- just a fresh bagel with egg and bacon.
The vibes were fantastic, great aesthetic, cozy spot.
Donuts were amazing- get one for sure.
Like many though, I agree that it’s overpriced. $70 for two sandwiches and two mimosas doesn’t really make a lot of sense. You are not getting what you pay for in that sense.
As well, the bartender was looking for a lost receipt by way of taking all of them out of the trash and putting them on the clean glasses sifting through them. That was a bit weird and non hygienic, wouldn’t recommend doing that. Once it’s in the trash, best sift somewhere not behind the bar.

We've been in a few times to have brunch and dinner, and I cant recommend this place enough. For brunch, the potatoes, focaccia bread, and meats are all so fresh and tasty, while the eggs and breakfast sandwich are very filling. I would recommend brunch for a nice cozy vibe.

Great cozy atmosphere. They have seasonal cocktails that are unique and interesting (one had tahini foam, incredible), as well as a dealer’s choice cocktail which is fun. Wine program could use a little work, but that’s okay. The service is very attentive and pleasant! The food was fresh, unique, and has a focus on local ingredients. Our favorites were the wings, Campanelle (pictured), pickle plate, and Muhammara spread.

This is a cute little restaurant tucked away on Troy Hill—if you blink, you might miss it. We were seated in a renovated bar area, and you can tell it was once a local hangout for workers or neighbors. The menu isn’t huge, and you order everything at once, but that keeps things simple.
We started with the dry rub and sauce wings. You only get six, but I actually prefer that—they aren’t jumbo wings, and they were flavorful and satisfying. The salad was incredibly fresh and delicious (and I’m a salad person, so that matters!). My husband had the meatloaf, and I went with the pasta dish—both were hearty, flavorful, and filling.
Teddy, our server, was wonderful—she told us about other dishes to try, and we definitely will on our next visit. My husband even got a free drink (and I think I did too!). Next time, I’ll be back for a big salad, wings, and the grits as a side.
The bathrooms were clean—a must for me—and the atmosphere felt welcoming and cozy. It’s the kind of spot that works for a date night, a day out, or even a fun dinner with girlfriends. I’m so glad we found it right here in Pittsburgh. Do something different and check this place out!

The vibe is unpolished and the location well off the beaten path, which appeal to me personally, but YMMV. This review is regarding a single Friday evening visit. Likelihood of repeat visit: 7/10.

Nice place, strange location but they certainly make it work. If you go when they open they aren't too busy and you can hear yourself and your partner while you're chatting. Staff is friendly and accommodating, definitely a reason to return again and again but the bigger reason may be the smashed potatoes and olive oil cake!

A lovely little place with great food! Campanelle and meatballs were delicious with flavorful red sauce and garlicky toast triangles. Gingerade mocktail was spicy and refreshing. Everyone was friendly, low key vibe. Love the books and knickknacks on the walls.

Excellent experience. Our party of 6 was all very satisfied. The cold brew was delicious, and we really enjoyed the bagels. Our service was great and we loved the ambiance.

Don’t go during dinner. With only five entrees, none of which are under $30, this place is unnecessarily limited and pricey in my opinion. Their other menus are far more reasonable.
