Our dinner at the vandal was exceptional. The service and the food was top tier. The cocktails were fantastic. Loved the martini service. Would highly recommend to anyone. Such a quaint little gem!

It was our second time having dinner at the Vandal. Love the craft cocktails and the food was fantastic again.
Vivian
Wait staff was very knowledgeable and attentive. All plates were beautiful as well as delicious!! The window table was a great place to catch up with old friends!!!

My server was exceptional, checking in on me often. The food was exceptional. Delicious and beautiful. The most memorable part for me was as a non drinker it's hard for me to find awesome cocktails. When I ordered dessert I asked if they did any non alcoholic after dinner drinks. My server was like hold on, what's your flavor profile. I told him and the bartender came over with a drink that tasted exactly like amaro!! They didn't have to do that for me, but did! Everything was perfect

I really enjoy the seasonal changes on the menu. Service is always good, as is the food. The sommelier was helpful and friendly!
Jillian
Had a wonderful experience and great service. Trout pate was phenomenal and you can never go wrong with their martini service. Perfect place for a date night spot!

I am adjusting my initial lower star review because management addressed my concerns in the most professional and timely manner. They took my review seriously and asked for more feedback. They genuinely care to improve the customer experience if it's lacking in any way. Superb customer service from the top down makes me want to give this place another shot.

We had the most incredible time at The Vandal. This has been our favorite Pittsburgh restaurant for some time for the ambiance, service, incredible food and cocktails, and overall feel of the location. You can sense the care and consideration that goes into each dish and cocktail, with thoughtful pairing suggestions. This night, our server sent us champagne for our anniversary which was such a nice touch and something we really appreciated, incredible service!
Tracy
Exceptional food and service. Very cute place with only 5 seats at the bar and about 12 tables. Everything we ate was fantastic. The only negative is the noise level. They play music - which is fine - but the smallness of the place and with nearly every table full it was impossible to have a conversation with my husband who was seated across from me at our 2 seater table. We literally had to shout at each other to converse.

Fabulous - got there at opening, sat at the bar. Ordered multiple drinks and shareables, each more delicious than the last. Nearly shed a tear over the hamachi, highly recommend. Sarah the bartender was great at educating on unique ingredients and pairings. The vibes were very special, not many places like it in Pittsburgh. Worth a quick return!
Amazing! I always love coming here. The fall flavors are so well represented in every menu item. It was a little hot though inside the restaurant!
Jacqueline
It was great! The food and drinks were outstanding! The noise level was a little too high and it was really hot in the restaurant but still worth it for the food!

Lovely neighbourhood restaurant, enjoyed the meal, and ambience.
It could just be what we ordered but the snacks were larger than the items ordered off the 'to share' section.
Also a little disappointing that in this day and age they didn't have a Vegetarian main (entree) course available and no vegetable sides to go with the meal.
Lovely restaurant, menu needs a bit of a fine tune.

Absolutely fantastic place! I was on a solo trip and stopped here for a dinner and a drink and the female bartender was just so so good. Super professional, amazing mixed drinks and made me feel at ease while sitting by myself at the bar. The food was delicious and very flavourful and the atmosphere - you can feel people just love being here. A wonderful treat far away from home!

This was my first dining experience at the Vandal and I have to say it was exceptional. I highly recommend the octopus. Regarding the service, it was outstanding. This is a gem of a restaurant and I don't say that lightly. I cannot wait to go back!
