Make reservations . Excellent drinks, great food. The bar staff (which is where we sat, because we didn't have reservations ) is super friendly and knowledgeable . Worth the time and slightly elevated $.

Michele Richards

Absolutely delicious. Had the oysters to start, the salmon entree (Jon had the lamb shank ), and we finished it off w the cheese plate . The champagne cocktail was also amazing. Great hidden treasure .

Mikahla Vicino

Beautiful restaurant -- perfect for a special occasion . Their pasta dish changes daily based on chef inspiration & every cocktail is made to perfection.

Megan Irvine

Unique signature cocktails that change with the seasons, and creative interpretations of the classics, all expertly crafted with scratch-made ingredients. Worth it.

Connor

Legit brunch spot . Park across the street. Try the Bloody Mary bar with the cucumber vodka . Norwegian meal is good if you like smoked salmon .

Andra Zapartan

The Sticky Toffee Pudding is so good that you're gonna want to have two ???? #delicious #VanillaIceCream

Sarah

Burger was great — was worried when they said they don’t do med-rare because it’s two thin patties smashed together but it was plenty juicy. Fries were crisp and salty, too

Jonathan Stephenson

Nice selection of original drinks, plus knowledgeable bar staff that will make your favorites. Full food menu is available if you want to stay awhile.

Graham Kukucka

So so good! The smoked tartar was some of the best we've had. Lamb shank was unreal also. We were seated early, treated us amazingly

Jim Fisher

Everything on the menu sounded so delicious, it was hard to decide. The crab cakes were a daily special and were delicious.

Andra Zapartan

The bourbon is good - give it a try ????????

Lauren Bates

Excellent brunch spot on a Sunday morning or afternoon. My eggs benedict were quite good with the crispy potatoes .

Glynnis Schliffka

The burger was delicious!! The almond sponge cake and s’mores dessert were a good choice ending to the dinner . ????

Slow service but good food. Really nice omelette . Try the awesome pancake - but warning - it will knock you out.

Great drinks and lively place ! Try their Old Fashioned.

Unfortunately, the orig beef tartar is no longer available. A new recipe is not good. Very upset by the change. Please bring it back as it was the best in town .

Good food but in the evening it's really hard to have a conversation because it is so loud .

Lía Sánchez

My tip of good service only applies for Mon to Wed, Thursday on, is packed and hostess and waiters alike are rude and careless

Best bar tender in Pittsburgh!
