The restaurant has an upscale vibe, very tastefully designed but with a comfortable laid back atmosphere. They recently reopened with a new chef and team and it looks very promising.
Portions were generous compared to similar upscale places we’ve been to in the Pittsburgh metro area, and we found the quality of ingredients to be top notch, so value for price was good.
Salads were very fresh and paired with dressings that complemented well and did not overpower. The charcuterie plate was quite large, it could be shared with 3-4 or 2 very hungry people and had a good variety. The lemon sorbet palette cleanser was surprisingly good, was smooth and creamy like ice cream.
The Wagyu ribeye was sublime, like butter. The chef seared and lightly seasoned it which was all it needed. Came with Japanese black rice and edamame. The crab cakes were gluten free - virtually all colossal crab meat. Tasted of pure crab and sea was delicious. Served with a mildly spicy capers tartar-like sauce, white wine risotto and seared romanesco broccoli.

Read moreFirst time visiting this place, walking in you feel immediately comforted. It has a very warm, cozy, and open atmosphere. I was there with some family and friends and was greeted with nothing but smiles and courtesy from our server Lisa. She was very professional, answered all the questions we had about every dish. She was very knowledgeable about the entire menu as well as the establishment and history behind it. Nowadays it is incredibly difficult to find a server with not only a great attitude, but also who is someone that takes care of her customers like family. As for the food, Chef Alex puts out incredibly well rounded dishes that hit the palate on every spot. It is clear his culinary genius makes each dish very unique from the ingredients to the care and time he takes to make everything perfect. 10/10 would absolutely go back and cannot wait to see how the fall menu differs. Regardless of what you order there, you will be...

The food was absolutely exceptional—beautifully plated, fresh, and full of flavor. Every dish felt thoughtfully crafted, and you can tell the chef takes pride in both quality and creativity.
The service matched the food perfectly. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and made the whole dining experience feel special. It’s rare to find a restaurant that delivers such a refined experience while still keeping the charm of a small, local place.
