Butterjoint is a comfy bar and restaurant located in North Oakland. Our welcoming and eclectic atmosphere is appropriate for almost any occasion - whether it be meeting a friend for a drink, celebrating an important event, or relaxing after work. Our menu is a mixture of familiar Pittsburgh foods (think pierogies, hamburgers, French fries) and French bistro classics (beef tartare, raclette, mussels), and seasonal classics that come and go throughout the year. We put care into our vegetarian dishes too, including making our own tempeh, falafel, and veggie patties from scratch. Menu items change frequently--usually every day--and reflect many long-standing relationships we have with farms and breweries in our region. In addition to reservations, we also have a thirty seat bar that is first come, first serve. We don’t know exactly how old the bar is, but it’s at least seventy years old (probably older) and very cozy. Our friendly bartenders are here to make something you like.

    We took my mom to Golden Gai for her birthday. She loved it and had a great time. We were happy to find the foods that we loved so much in Japan earlier this year. The shrimp tempura was our favorite. The shrimp were huge and we loved the sauce that went with them. So flavorful! We also really enjoyed the gyoza (dumplings), spicy tuna roll and udon noodles with chicken. While we were dining, we were talking about the dishes we had and asking questions about things that were slightly different. The sushi chef heard us and told us more about the food and why it was done the way they do it. It was very interesting and he seemed like a great guy. There were so many good dishes and drinks on the menu that we’ll definitely be back to try more things.

    On January 2, 2025, we dined at the Red Lobster restaurant located in Monroeville, Pa. Mr. Julian was our server. I had the Create Your Own Ultimate Feast with salmon, snow crab legs, six-grilled shrimp skewer with rice pilaf, six-shrimp scampi, two orders of steamed broccoli and unsweetened iced tea. My wife had Atlantic salmon, steamed broccoli, baked potato and lemonade. We shared six cheese biscuits and a slice of Key Lime pie. The service Julian provided and the taste of the food, and beverages were so great, we are looking forward to enjoying those experiences again - very soon.

    Hostess was professional. Waitress, Lisa, was prompt in serving each phase of foods. She was authentically happy to serve us. Wooden Nickel Restaurant is clean, and the atmosphere was inviting. The Fireplace greatly enhanced the Ambience. Parking was easy to access.

    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.
