You can even get an Isaly's Chipped Ham Sandwich!! That's a must for any true Yinzer! Their cocktails are definitely unique and standout from other craft cocktail bars. I'm a fan of the Amethyst and the Peridot. The decor is dark, cozy, and romantic with exposed brick. The service is friendly. Really like getting to stop by when I'm back home visiting from Austin.

Despite its size and being busy, the noise level was surprisingly very comfortable. I am curious what they have done acoustically to accomplish this. The food was delicious and Matt our Server was great and knowledgeable about the restaurant and dishes. To start the aforementioned bread service is brought out with a rye of sorts, focaccia and sourdough with butter-all fantastic. For appetizers we had tuna tartare and Arugula salad. The salad used nectarines to provide sweetness in contrast to the Arugula, and nuts to provide crunch. For entrees we had the Halibut in parsnip puree and the Beef Tenderloin with romanescu sauce. All were delicious. Located at the edge of the Strip, highly recommend.

LOVED our dinner at this place…read more We came here for dinner while visiting Pittsburgh. The first thing that struck me was the interior decor. Very industrial and moody with an open kitchen/preparation area that adds some intrigue. I do like to see the happenings of what's going on as someone with zero attention span. Service was excellent. George was fantastic. He kept a close eye on us without being overbearing. He anticipated what we might need so we didn't spend one second waiting to order anything. The menu is not endless or overwhelming which, presumably, allows them to focus on the items that are listed. I have decision panic so it was kinda nice to have less things to choose from. They asked if there were any allergies or dietary restrictions so I mentioned my vegetarianism. George went through the menu and pointed out the vegetarian options including what seems like it is vegetarian but isn't. They had TWO vegetarian entree options and fortunately the non-mushroom one was something I probably would have ordered anyway: pesto with walnuts, arugula, and a very generous amount of grated cheese. To start, I ordered the Brussels sprouts whichc I was warned had fish sauce. This was fine but nothing that blew me away. GF, on the other hand, loved this. GF ordered the wedge which was brought to our attention as vegetarian with the bacon on the side, which was her request. We ended up sharing both, a large part of that was because hers came out first and I couldn't wait but I'm so glad because the wege was FANTASTIC. The dressing? holy fuck pure ecastasy. The wedge was more like a filet shape which was much easier to eat. Who decided on the wedge shape anyway? The lettuce was so fresh and crisp and went wonderfully with that orgasmic dressing and breadcrumbs. Back to my pasta. Also delectable. Noodles were al dente. The sauce was creamy and packed that pesto umami flavor. The walnuts were a really nice contrast in texture. Everything about it absolutely fucking slapped. GF ordered the mushroom entree which came served on a bed of barley which, don't mind if I do, had a few forkfuls to "sample" for "my review". Again, so fucking good. Because it was my birthday, George provided a dessert (yuzu maybe?) that was served inside a meringue-esque igloo, creamy perfect balance of sweet and tart custard with some berry business underneath. Wonderful. I almost forgot their spectacular cocktails! Holy shit, literally they have a CORN CHIP cocktail that I could not pass up. It comes with two massive cornchips on top of a flavored foam. When you bring the glass up to sip, the cornchips are right in front of your nose and their aroma sets the stage for the drink which was STRONG. It wasn't as corn chip forward as I expected but I understand that flavor is probaly hard to create. For my second drink, I ordered the blue one which was refreshing, light, and really good. GF ordered a spritz which was gorgeous "it was good". For second round, I picked out some uranium thing that was very cucumbery, GF says, "it was good". I just read it outloud to her. "it's true!" Fantastic meal at a great place.

We were seated right on time, but the experience rapidly went downhill from there. Despite the high price tag and upscale atmosphere, the meal felt ridiculously rushed. Our appetizers arrived a mere five minutes after ordering. Worse, while we were still actively eating them, the server attempted to clear our plates to make room for the main courses. By 7:50 PM--just 35 minutes into our reservation--our entrees were already hitting the table. For a fine dining establishment, being pushed to finish in under an hour is completely unacceptable. When we asked them to hold the entrees for 15 minutes so we could actually breathe and enjoy our appetizers, the kitchen clearly just left our food sitting under heat lamps. My pasta primavera turned into a heavy, mushy pile of goo, and my husband's chicken was noticeably cool to the touch by the time it reached us. We were so turned off by the rushed service and ruined food that we left before even looking at a dessert menu. Stunning views and a reputation for excellence don't make up for bad pacing and subpar food. Extremely disappointing for the price.

I have had everything on the menu more than once and nothing had ever been disappointing. Therefore, it came as a shock when we learn they are were closing for a while. Knowing how long it took them reopen some of their other restaurants, we are a bit sad. Maybe they will make it a little less dark inside which would be great. Sometimes it is a bit too lick like a club in there. Also perhaps they could add the octopus tacos to Tako Torta ! We visited for one last hoorah last weekend. The octopus wasn't on the menu but after checking with our waitress, they still had a few. We got both this one and then queso! I got chips for the queso since I don't do gluten and then corn tortillas with the tacos. The octopus was well cooked as usual. I had a frozen pain killer which was great. See you soon I hope!

We arrived at 9am on a Saturday which is when they allegedly open according to their website…read more(Google says 8am) and there were already tons of people seated and even a table that diners had finished eating at so there is definitely something inaccurate with their published hours. Thankfully we didn't have to wait for a table for 3 (the folks in front of us in line most have had a bigger table and were given a wait time). I really enjoyed the vibe here as well as the food. I tried the waffle Benedict and thought it was great. Definitely worth a visit for breakfast but their weekend hours should be updated if they open they open before 9am...

I didn't want biscuits or an Egg Sandwich, so I chose this cafe because it had the most menu options to choose from. Also, the location was close enough to our hotel, without driving too far, which was perfect. Although the space is small, this cafe has a lot of charm. It was vibrant and full of energy, and the staff was attentive, ensuring our visit was comfortable and orderly. I'm so happy that my husband & I visited around 9am, because we were seated right away. We came hungry, so we quickly placed our orders, and the food arrived shortly after. The food was excellent. We both ordered the Spicy Chicken Omelette and it was very good. The chicken was flavorful and cooked well. It wasn't spicy at all. Even the breakfast potatoes were crispy and lightly seasoned. And our beverage, two Peach Palmers, was lightly sweetened and refreshing. This cafe is a good place to visit if you're in the area. Plenty of street parking, quick and efficient service, and reasonable prices. I highly recommend it.

We went to Fig & Ash for our anniversary and I'm still thinking about this meal…read more We both ordered the Herb Falafel and every part of that plate worked. The saffron rice, grilled zucchini, and blood orange chili glaze all came together in a way that actually felt intentional. Nothing was bland, nothing felt like filler... it was just really well done. My husband ordered the King of the Jungle and I ended up stealing a few sips. It's very pineapple forward with a nice bite at the end that keeps it from being too sweet. It paired perfectly with the food. Chef Cory was incredible. Not only clearly talented, but also kind, funny, and genuinely present. You can tell he cares about what he's creating and about the people he's serving. The staff as a whole were warm and welcoming, and made the night feel special from start to finish. It was the perfect place to celebrate our anniversary and we will absolutely be back

The locally inspired, seasonal menu is creative, though that creativity can be a bit hit-or-miss. The Ain't Got Thyme for That, Honey! cocktail was too bourbon- and bitter-forward for me, drinking almost like an Old Fashioned. I was excited about the linguine with lobster curry cream, but unfortunately, it was too spicy for me to enjoy. So I had my husband's yellowfin tuna instead and it was delicious, though the skin made it surprisingly difficult to cut. The standout was the corn and avocado salad with cilantro-lime crema--creamy and refreshing. Service was okay. Overall, a charming setting with an inventive menu, but the dinner itself didn't leave a lasting impression.

If I could complain about anything, and it's the reason I didn't give it 5 stars, was the 3% operating charge added to the bill. It doesn't seem like much but just appears unnecessary.

The service and attention to detail were impeccable, which is refreshing for Pittsburgh.

We had the spinach and artichoke dip, a warm baguette, the wagyu shortrib, the dungeness crab salad, and the vanilla bourbon & sea salt ice cream for dessert. Everything was delicious. 4 stars because the server asked us to leave immediately after we finished (about 1 hour and 45 minutes after we were seated) so the next reservation could have the table-which felt a bit rude.
