My friend and I went there on a Friday night. It wasn't too crowded when we arrived around 6pm, but…read moreit was definitely busier by 8pm. I would recommend getting a reservation for the weekend. The restaurant is located at the bottom of the Maverick and the decor is absolute gorgeous. By the end, I was convinced that their wallpaper would look great in my living room. Our waiter was very lovely and attentive. There was one small issues with our appetizers which resulted in them being delayed. He took full responsibility and made it right. I really liked my pear centric cocktail, it had a very appealing purple shade. My salmon was very good with nice bright flavors. It was a little spicier than expected but not too hot either. The coconut rice was good to help with that. The Korean fried tofu was perfectly crunchy and slightly spicy (this time it was expected). Good flavors to it. The babaganoush was excellent with all the extra little toppings on top. The seeded crackers were excellent and I wished I had ask if they made them there. My friend had the crispy eggplant and bread service (no gluten for me sadly). She said everything was good as well. We shared the Japanese cheesecake. It was absolutely delightful. The texture is so light and creamy! The banana pieces with the creme brulee crust were so good. Excellent caramel sauce. Overall, trendy space with good food and drinks!

Jillian's has done nothing but kick my dick in The food. The fried Brie. I don't think I need to say much. Just look at it. WHAT I WILL SAY is that little salad with it. The source of the veggies is unreal but that house dressing I would drink by the gallon I have not gone out for a steak in over 5 years. I eat it every day. Not something I crave. Their Cowboy Ribeye will have me never going out for steak again because that's the only one I'll ever want. PERFECT melt in your mouth cook seasoned to perfection The burger. This is what I was waiting to try for the longest time. It is simple and it is a fucking knockout. The homemade bread had a brilliant inside softness to crust ratio. The locally sourced meat was cooked perfect and you can taste the quality once it hits your tongue. THE SAUCE. I fucking hate dill. People use it so poorly and let it overpower things more often than not. This sauce was spectacular. The dill in it has never been used better for me and even got a side to dip those UNREAL duck fat fries THE STAR FOR US. THE DUCK FAT POTATOES. The amount you get is not only insane but I have never had a potato prepared so well before. The perfect crunch on ever bite over a pool of the duck fat. Unbelievable Jillian and Phill you have made the experience even more amazing. Jillian is out in the floor serving food and checking in on everyone with such great energy. She says what she wants and doesn't give a fuck. Phil is in the back whipping up some of the best quality meals you'll ever have with some of the best sourced ingredients around. Thank you two for bringing such a great spot and experiences to the Pittsburgh area. Eating here has made me feel like I'm inside your home. Also the waiting area is a beautiful touch

Hostess made us sit in bar for 20 minutes even though our table was available. The next party of 6 was also forced to sit in bar area even table was ready. When we decided to order, we requested dressing on the side with our salad. Waitress informed us that chef refused unless an allergy but not willing to if it's a preference. And if allergy, no dressing will be given! Then we ordered our burgers. We requested no cheese on our burgers. Waitress had to ask since chef doesn't allow substitutions. Really I wasn't substituting anything just omitting the cheese...I realized I had to lie and say it was an allergy so cheese wouldn't be put on the damn burger! When we inquired if we could have burgers cooked medium, waitress said all burgers are cooked medium with no choice for rare or well done. Well look at picture .. our burgers were raw. I told waitress I would pay but please take my plate because I don't eat raw meat. The owner came to the table and told us to leave and never come back! . I replied .. we won't!! My friends and I were thrilled and giddy that an Eat n Park is located right behind this horrible restaurant. We proceeded to celebrate my bday there. I was thrilled to get a cooked burger and a delicious dessert. Who needs a Jillian's restaurant where guests are disrespected, chef/owner is rude and obnoxious and above all to be made to feel like they are doing us a favor ... Just never have been so disrespected in a restaurant.

Located on the Border of Oakland and Shadyside. Multiple visits across the last few years. Bar on…read moreone side, dining room opposite. Gastropub feel with deeply solid kitchen. The pickled items are all done in house, and menu/kitchen are very thoughtful on how they execute. They do the pickling well, and they incorporate their ingredients into the dishes without making them feel unbalanced. Some specifics: Chicken fried pickles: Great ratio of batter to pickle. Generally, I think execution of pickled spears versus chips is fraught with peril. ButterJoint does these perfectly. These remain excellent and an unequivocal "get again" dish. Crispy chicken sandwich: chicken thighs done in one of the House brines, then battered and fried. This is a generous sandwich with two thighs. The batter is light and perfect and perfectly adherent. Kitchen cooked these pieces perfectly; no overdone portions. The tallow fries served as a side remain excellent, and the serving is very generous. "You can't eat just one." Pork belly sandwich: what a completely fun bite! Generous serving of pork belly, crispy on the outside and melting internally on a perfectly toasted roll. The condiments on this sandwich are perfect. The brunch burger is excellent. The egg is hard cooked so it doesn't come apart on the sandwich. M got the corned beef hash; the brisket on it is absolutely amazing, and there is a very nice grill on the potatoes. The poached egg on top is a complete delight. This is one of the better hashes that I have had. The falafel is fantastic. Well seasoned, perfectly cooked. The goat cheese crust with hot pepper jelly is an unexpected treat. Pickle shrimp are fun. The Mississippi comeback sauce is basically a remolade or maybe big Mac sauce. Would totally have again looking for a little cold shrimpy bite. We have never walked away disappointed by the menu or the kitchen. Good bar program, good draught list. Consistently gracious front of house team. Great for lunch or dinner, couples or families. Highly recommended.

Great spot for some American food and a solid lunch. That's what I came here for, at least. Some…read moresolid outside seating area as well, but I went inside this time. Got to try their chicken sandwich and vinegar pie. The chicken sandwich came with a garlic sauce (toum) and fresh vegetables on their signature milk bread. Needless to say, the bun was amazing. The toum was great too, perfectly garlicky. And the chicken was delicious, with a solid portion. A bit on the expensive side though. The vinegar pie sounded super unique and intriguing so I gave that a shot. So glad I did! This is delicious. I can't even really describe it; there's a tiny note of acidity to it, but it's also super sweet. A nice little brown topping as well. It's just really good and you should try it. All in all, recommend this spot. The inside area we were sitting at was a little bleak but other than that, it is a nice place to be!

The server was nice enough to let us know that the chips were no longer house made. She didn't tell us that the lounge fries are no longer the same too. Cheap frozen fries, barely any cheese sauce, and shredded cheese barely melted. At least the ranch was still the same. Ordered a Big 16 steak sandwich. 98% bun no exaggerations. Lil bit of steakum meat. Did come with the white American but no cheez wiz, no onion, no mayo. Salty AF'!! I am still floored how bad this meal was.

Perfect for scooping and you want it for those ice cream scoops of cream cheese Man... I can't wait to come back to this one. The entire staff is awesome.

The vibe and decor with the giant painted murals on the wall were really cool, I liked the feel of the place, even for being in a strip mall in the suburbs. This food honestly wasn't that great. We shared some pastrami egg rolls, which were bizarre for eating at a Mexican restaurant. And I ordered a bowl with rice and protein, and it was kind of dry and average. The server read us from her book when asked questions about sauce, options, and things because she said she only worked there for two weeks. I don't think they did much training.
