Spirits & Tales offers a mixed dining experience. The food, including dishes like salmon, strip steak, and scallops, is generally praised as delicious. Recent visitors highlight the waygu burger and mention that the food is reasonably priced, especially the vegetarian options, which some consider among the best in Pittsburgh. The restaurant's brunch menu and views are standout features, with great views of the Pitt campus and the Cathedral of Learning. Drinks like house white wine and cocktails are considered average, and the wine list is limited. The service quality can be inconsistent, with some guests reporting outstanding service and others finding mistakes in orders and poor communication. However, the restaurant has been known to go above and beyond for special occasions, such as providing a handwritten birthday note, prosecco, and candles for dessert. Overall, many guests enjoy the atmosphere, especially during lunch, and highlight the fantastic view and good food.
