I live nearby and have driven past here many times, known many people who have had events here, but…read morenever been here myself. That changed tonight when I attended a fundraising event here. The space looks a little dated from the outside and I would say that holds true inside as well. But what it lacks in aesthetics it makes up for in the food and service. Our event offered chicken, two types of pasta with one being gluten-free, scalloped potatoes, carrots and green beans. There were individually plated salads with either ranch or homemade Italian dressing and rolls with butter. Everything was extremely clearly labeled as to dietary restrictions and even allergies such as nuts. The service was truly took this place to the next level. There was a small bar offering both alcoholic beverages and soft drinks and even a mocktail option. Servers came around to our table constantly to clear dishes that were finished, fill water glasses and keep coffee hot. When my friend mentioned she had had an early start to the day and needed that coffee for her drive home, the server offered to get her one to go. Just phenomenal folks here. Another friend mentioned that she has attended murder mystery dinners here so they are doing more than events. I'm glad to know that the food is so good if I'm invited to a future event here!

Was in town recently on business & a coworker suggested we try this place. We did make reservations…read morebut the place didn't seem very busy when we were there. It is pretty small, though, so if they do get busy, reservations would be necessary. The menu is either a vegetarian fixed option or a vegan fixed option (apps, choice of salad & entree, and dessert) and comes with suggested wine pairings for an additional fee. I had the vegan options and my coworkers had the vegetarian options. We didn't have the wine pairings but I did have to try 2 of their cocktails - the salt & vinegar was so good! It really did taste like a salt & vinegar potato chip in martini form! It was so good!! The other one I had was an heirloom tomato kind of drink - it was like a very gentle Bloody Mary, you could taste the wine in it but then you also could taste the tomato part. The food was also delicious - the portions were sufficient, the plating was really pretty and the flavor of everything was really interesting (never would have thought you could make cabbage into pastrami!). There is an option to have both entrees so I did and the lions mane was also delicious. The dessert was probably not my favorite, it was some kind of blueberry thing, but it was still tasty. I would definitely come back again the next time I'm in town!

If you are ever in Lawrenceville and want a wonderful dining experience, visit Titusz. Robert is wonderful in the front of house and will make sure that your experience is to expectation and Chef Thackray's use of ingredients make you feel like grandma was helping her in the kitchen while she puts a modern flair on each dish. The Hungarian and Austrian wine selection is amazing and they offer 2 full bars. The restaurant is a cozy, 2 floors with bar and table seating. Recommending reservations for both especially if you have a party of 4 or more. Excellent execution Titusz, I'll see you soon!

Drinks: I got the Kadarka. It is a dry red wine with a smooth finish. Sort of like a cab sauvignon but bolder. My wife got a white wine that was similar to a resiling. Food: We started with complimentary bread, and it was a fresh seeded rye bread. It was fantastic. We split the potato salad and the heirloom tomato salad. The potato salad was chilled with a zingy dressing. It was delicious! One of those you just keep going back for more. Tomatoes were fresh and on top of a delicious bed of shaved beets. It was summer on a plate, and the punch of flaky salt was the chef's kiss. For entrees, I ordered the catfish and my wife had the chicken paprikash. The catfish was outrageously delicious. It was in a vibrant tomato sauce that had a subtle heat on a bed of corn. My wife's chicken was fork-tender, and the sauce paired with the acidic cucumber garnish was the bite of the night! For dessert, we had the golden walnut dumplings. It was good. I was so excited for the brown butter but did not taste much at all. The dumplings were fantastic, however. Next time, we will get the chocolate torte. Speaking of next time, that will be sooner rather than later. We loved how we didn't walk out feeling disgustingly full. Portions were perfect, food was fresh and tasty, and the experience was awesome. We can't wait to come back, as Titusz is now in our top 3 restaurants in Pittsburgh!

Senti absolutely delivered one of the best meals we've had in Pittsburgh…read more We started with an Aperol Spritz and a glass of Prosecco before diving into the mushroom arancini, which were perfectly crisp on the outside with a rich, creamy center. The standout of the evening was the compressed watermelon salad. Served over a bed of creamy Gorgonzola with strawberry reduction, basil oil, pepitas, and microgreens, it was honestly one of the best things I've ever eaten. Every bite was incredibly fresh, bright, and perfectly balanced. I could happily eat this every day for the rest of my life. For entrées, we shared the veal saltimbocca, which was fork-tender with a beautifully rich sauce, and a light zucchini, corn, and shrimp pasta that tasted like summer on a plate. Fresh vegetables, sweet corn, and a delicate sauce let every ingredient shine without feeling heavy. Excellent service!!! We'll definitely be back.

Here's what we got: -The Flirting Camel cocktail - made with real camel's milk! The first sip was interesting, and just got better and better. So unique & creamy. -Fairouz in the Morning mocktail - my friend's drink - she enjoyed it! I took a sip and it tasted like fall! -Dolmas (stuffed grape leaves) - absolutely delicious! I love stuffed grape leaves. -Hummus - so yummy & smooth. My friend had the cucumbers and I ate all the pita because she's gluten free. -Kefta Kebab - my friend and I both got this as an entree and it was divine! So flavorful! -Cream & pistachio baklava - probably the best baklava I've ever had! This was a really great experience! Everything was fresh and truly delicious. Our server was great and everyone was so nice. They were also really accommodating of my friend being gluten free! And the space is absolutely gorgeous I will say it's a little pricey - my friend and I split the two appetizers, but my check was around $80 with tip & tax, which is a lot for one person. The Flirting Camel drink is expensive, but understandably so because they import the camel milk. Overall the meal was worth the price! And I had leftovers from my entree.

This is a family establishment that's been open since the 70s (pretty incredible)!! The food and service were great too. They were extremely kid friendly with our infant. For Sunday brunch they have a prix fix menu with a variety of options from a traditional Syrian breakfast (with potatoes and egg scramble) to a hearty tomato shakshuka. They also have super unique cocktails like a fig martini. They also have different types of mezze, and the labnee dip was great. I can't wait to come back to try dinner!

Stopped in for lunch…read more Ordered the Fig and Walnut salad. They didn't have figs so they substituted 2 strawberries cut in half. Dressing and greens were fresh - the strawberry substitute was meager at best. Had mussels and fries. The mussels were perfect. The fries were coated in salt and not edible unless the salt was scrapped off. When asked about the salt, the waiter called them "atypical". So, why were they served if not how they typically prepare them? No offer to make it right was forthcoming. Also ordered the French Onion Soup - it was mostly bread - yes, mostly bread. The broth and cheese were fine but I left a bowl full of onion soup soaked bread behind in the bowl. Service was slow even though the restaurant was not busy. Had a beer and a bottle of still water which was fine. Total bill, before tip was $100. Was charged $103 as they added $3 for credit card use. Ok, I get it, but this is really odd anymore and added insult to injury as the dining experience was not good. Restaurants are struggling and my wife and I support local spots all the time. Unfortunately we won't be back. Hopefully they'll climb out of it and remain viable. Three stars is generous and recognition for their longevity- maybe we caught them on a bad day.

Was admittedly unaware of this restaurant, and I'm feeling incredibly guilty for it.... Overall an…read moreexcellent experience - every single dish we had was amazing, top to bottom. Service was also very friendly and personable. We ate in the back courtyard, it was hot, but we were so preoccupied by how good the food was, it wasn't a problem. I'd like to try sitting inside the restaurant, but when it's a bit cooler. One critique I'd offer is that two of us ordered the "pot pie" dish, which tasted great but the temperature was too high - we had to wait 15-20 minutes for any small amount of heat reduction. Perhaps that's something to look into, but the dish was still excellent. Note that it's cash and/or Venmo only, so be prepared before visiting.

I'm really disappointed hearing about how a group of young customers were treated here. They paid…read moretheir bill but did not have enough cash left for a 20% tip, and the server allegedly confronted them, raised her voice, and made them feel like they were not allowed to leave unless they tipped 20%. If a restaurant requires automatic gratuity, that needs to be clearly stated ahead of time and shown on the bill. Tips should not be demanded after the fact through pressure or intimidation, especially with younger customers who may not fully understand the restaurant's cash/card policies. This should have been handled with professionalism, not embarrassment or intimidation. they didn't know it was cash or or cash app or venmo and these kids panicked to make sure that they could pay and came up with it and my question is why can't they take tap on venmo i'm a small business owner and I can use tap to pay with Venmo. You didn't need to embarrass them and make them have a horrible experience. I would've came myself later on as a parent feeling bad about what the experience was and made sure that that waitress got a huge tip now me and my family will never come there. And I will never encourage anybody to go there. You embarrassed a bunch of kids I hope you're proud of yourself. these kids came specifically here because they went to France with their high school and wanted to experience the vibe that Cafe Du Jour had to offer and felt mortified, which is an understatement.
