This place is a gem! The owner is so welcoming and Melissa our waitress made our whole experience so personal! It was Christmas Eve and a special night for us as a family to be all together and Senti showcased how good Pittsburgh food can be with their crowd pleasing appetizers and the duck which was to die for. Even though it was 9.30 on the night before Christmas we felt very non rushed through our meal and thank the staff for working so hard to make our night so memorable!

We had a very enjoyable evening at Eighty Acres last night. Our server, Michelle is so friendly and professional. Chef. Don makes the best Walleye with Black Garlic aioli and shredded brussell sprout slaw. My husband loved the Filet Mignon that was prepared perfectly medium rare. We always enjoy after dinner drinks at the bar with Paolo. Amy is the most gracious host anywhere.
