   Our server, Victoria, was incredibly kind, patient, and fun. The food was amazing and the ambience could not have been improved upon. A perfect evening; we left full and happy. It’s safe to say we have a new favorite restaurant in Pittsburgh!

   Super busy Christmas Eve dinner. Although we waited 40 minutes past our reservation time for our table, once seated everything went well. Great service from Rebecca. Food excellent as always. Nice evening

   Have been here a dozen times, and always pleased. Not so much with this visit. Upon checking in we were informed they were running 10-15 minutes behind on reservation times. Not a big deal, as the lobby was jam packed and we could clearly see they were seating everyone as quickly as possible. However, 20 minutes later the lobby was empty and we still were not seated. My husband inquired, and was told “oh, we didn’t know you checked in”, it will be 5 more minutes. We were seated, and offered water by the assistant. My sister asked for lemon with hers and was told “of course, I’ll be right back”. He never came. Instead, he and another young man cleared a dirty table, changed the table linens, etc., even though there were 3 clean tables in our room and clearly the rush had died down. By this time we had run out of butter and asked him again for the lemon and more butter. He left the room, entered again several times, but still no lemon or butter. Our server finally came to check on us and fulfilled our requests. The service here has always been impeccable, so we were certainly surprised. On the food side, I ordered a filet (medium). The top and bottom were medium (actually quite charred on the two ends) but the center was very rare. I should have sent it back, but didn’t. Our side of lobster Mac and cheese, which we order every time, was kind of watery and had a few very small shreds of lobster. Again, not what we had come to expect. It usually has a generous serving of chunk lobster meat. All in all, it was not the experience we were hoping for. I’m chalking it up as an off night and will definitely give them another try.

   Honestly I’m sorry this was pretty bad. I was taking my son to a show downtown and wanted to treat him to a great dinner beforehand. I made the OpenTable reservation and it ended up being in the bar area. I did not know it was right at the bar. My son and I got so crowded in at our table. People were leaning on and hanging around our table. It was so uncomfortable and noisy. Food was really not that great either. Was far from the great dining experience I thought my son and I would experience.
