    Inside cheese sticks
    Ulyana K.

    Don't expect this place to be fancy, because it definitely isn't. It's a nice spot for a fun dinner by the water, with music playing, people drinking, and lots of dancing. The access to the pool is also great. You can get an alcoholic beverage and take it out to the pool from what I've seen. Tonight, I ordered the philly cheese steak with a side of coleslaw and some cheese sticks. The Philly cheese steak was pretty good. Meat was a bit too dry and a little tough, but the flavor was fine. They use an adequate amount of peppers and mushrooms (I ordered it without onion). It did take quite some time to be made and was brought out at the same time as the appetizer. The portion size was pretty decent, but for $14, they could have definitely done better. It was just okay. I did enjoy their coleslaw. It has a sweet flavor and comes with the perfect amount of dressing so it's not too try. Apparently it's made with vinegar, but I couldn't really taste that. You can choose to get fries as a side too. Their mozzarella cheese sticks were bland and just not great. They taste very similar to standard grocery store bought mozzarella sticks. And for almost $10 an appetizer (and with a somewhat small portion) it's definitely not worth it. I'm guess most if not all of their appetizers are subpar and overpriced. The atmosphere is interesting. They often have bands playing, but today, there was a DJ. If that's something you enjoy, maybe check this place out, but it does get somewhat loud and crowded at the bar. Most of the patrons are seniors, so you will almost surely see some older couples rocking out on the dance floor (it's quite the scene). In general, you'll get some nice views and quick access to the pool when dining here. However, it can be loud and uncomfortable, and it's definitely not upscale. From what I know, you don't need to be a member of the Yacht Club to dine here. Good amount of seating both indoors and outdoors. The food is standard but overpriced.

    Came here to hear live music from Jill West and Blues Attack. Loved outdoor setup under roof cover but open air. Music and food did not disappoint. I ordered a fried fish sandwich and fries. What else should I have ordered being the setting is on a marina? The fish was much bigger than the bun. Why is that the norm of restaurants?? Anyway, it was good and hit the spot as did the music. The crowd was mostly an elderly crowd, many of them dancing the entire time and having a great time. I would come here again.

    Invited to meet some family here for lunch one Friday. It's a beautiful location with a great view from both an inner dining room and outdoor bar area. I looked through the menu and there was really every type of salad, sandwich and app you could want on a hot day by the water so that was great news! Our group got the fish sand which, burgers, turkey BLT, chicken Caesar salad, hot dog, and I got the stuffed banana pepper app as my main course. Everyone's portion was large and delicious for sure. Fries were nice and thin and well cooked (but not fresh cut) and everyone had great things to say about their meals. I try to get something new when I go out so these banana peppers peaked my interest. They were hot and tasty - I don't have a clue how to or why someone would order them as an appetizer but I was happy with the portion for lunch. My mistake was to order them on a hot day but i still ate every bite cuz they were delicious and the garlic cheese toast was yum! The downside held a few shortcomings: 1: there is no side salad replacement for fries. 2: there are no umbrellas for the outside patio tables 3: all drinks are served in small disposable plastic cups - I mean ALL OF them: cocktails, sodas, beers, water - EVERYTHING. I didn't pick up the bill but having cups that size and stability wasn't the best. Would I come back? Yes. There's a great view, big menu, fun music and I assume affordable drinks since they come in such small cups - but next time I'll bring hats and sunscreen. I hope they invest in a few umbrellas and some more substantial cutlery/cups - they would probably keep the drinks colder and then people will stay longer cuz it's the little things that make a place shine.

    Located at the Fox Chapel Yacht Club (boat marina + pool) where my friend docks her boat there. I had little idea what to expect. There were 8 in our party on a gorgeous Friday evening in June. No one was sitting inside which has two sections. The outside was equally large. We arrived before 7 o'clock and paid a $10 cover as there was a live band playing starting at 8 o'clock. You must get there early to grab a table or even a seat at the bar! By the time we left, the parking lot was full and cars were parked in the street as overflow. I had no idea this place was so popular with a decidedly older crowd (50+), we were just looking to hang out by the water. Absolutely nothing fancy about the menu nor the plastic tables and chairs. And very casual dress though some folks chose to dress up. The staff was absolutely doing their best and didn't seem very experienced. It took quite a while to get our food but we weren't in a rush. And I wasn't too keen on eating there to begin with as it's not my sort of menu for dinner. For the age appropriate crowd, this is quite the night out scene!

    A decent place in Fox Chapel. There is plenty of parking. They have a large indoor space that could use a little bit of an update but it does have a nice view. They have a large outdoor bar which is nice. They weren't too busy this afternoon, the staff was friendly and the service was good. One of our beers was flat. The food was fine but a bit overpriced. I'd say worth a visit for the atmosphere, the yacht club is definitely not your typical Pittsburgh place.

    Street Level Band the entertainment Saturday Night. Great music and venue. Good food and Service . Fun night. Love the band.

    Have Street Level Band back. Enjoyed the evening and the food. We had a great waiter. Food good.

    BBQ chicken pizza
    Tricia B.

    I checked this place out on a Saturday night with some friends. Takeaways from my experience here: 1) It's located in the Fox Chapel Yacht Club, which might make you think that it's a fancypants place. It's not. Plastic tables and chairs, outdated decor, typical bar fare, unimpressive beer list. 2) They have an outdoor deck and bar located right on the marina, so you can dine/drink al fresco with lovely views of the river. 3) The food is not great. We got a BBQ chicken pizza, which was drenched in generic, Sysco-style BBQ sauce, with barely-melted (and not nearly enough) cheese, and limited amounts of chicken. Our friends enjoyed their food though (a turkey BLT and cheeseburger), so maybe we just ordered the wrong thing. 4) Service was friendly and attentive. Our drinks were flowing all night. 5) They have live entertainment on most weekends and charge a cover. 6) The clientele that this place draws after dark is amazing. Lots of mullets, incredible Pittsburgh hair, men with shirts unbuttoned and chest hair a'flyin, cougars in leopard-print dresses... 7) The average age of the patrons here is 55+. 8) This place turns into a giant frat party for the oldsters after 9pm. I'm talking elderly twerking and pole dancing....and no, I am not exaggerating. It's impossible to look away. 9) Because of #'s 6, 7, and 8, this was one of the most fun nights out I've had in awhile. The people watching doesn't get any better than this....and thus the basis for my 4 (generous) stars.

    Pristine bocce courts and amenities with even better bar atmosphere!!…read more Tucked into an industrial park, this facility will be a staple and possibly a template for future business concepts. Bocce. Not the most popular sport, but honestly a nice lackadaisical, recreational sport that accommodates all types of people. The facility is pristine (probably since it is relatively new)... but it hopefully stays this way! Six courts with different colored sets of balls. The carpet is smooth and rolls well with excellent foot paths and seating areas. The extras make the experience feel very professional with lane timers, measuring tapes, ball racks, and score keeping methods. Even down to the rules laid out including my favorite.. "No swearing in English" The bar area is also top notch! Self serve beer taps and wine taps (these are the coolest). Just tap your card and they have siphons that pull your wine right from the bottle.. and chilled glass coolers to enhance your experience. A dock for a food truck to pull right up to! They served us multiple pizza types (pepperoni, white, margherita, and pesto chicken), wings (honey barbecue and original), and french fries. They more than accommodated our group with ample refills of the food and a plethora of to-go containers at the ready to ensure that we took everything home! I grabbed an Orange Crush from the bar and it was refreshing with a strong amount of alcohol. The bartenders are used to their Italian crowd, so they aren't messing around. They also have a cigar lounge, party room, merch store, slot games, and a clear Italian pride. The logo and decor is strongly covered in the Italian flag.

    We stopped by Bocee House for a quick match on our lunch break recently, and it was a blast!…read more The staff were all so helpful-- from teaching us the basics to check in on us, they were all so friendly. The pizza was also phenomenal. We both ordered a white pizza with our preferred toppings, and we couldn't get enough. The thin, crispy crust was excellent.

Wait staff was friendly and welcoming. Tons of TVs in the place on every wall but a lot were not on. Though plenty were. I got the open face hot turkey sandwich, my wife got the Rueben and subbed for white bread. We got potato skins for our appetizer. I ordered chicken noodle soup with my meal. The potato skins were delicious and cooked perfectly! The sour cream was even made better with some dried chives. The chicken noodle soup was a little thicker and creamy and delicious. I enjoyed every bite! The hot turkey was ok, the bread was burnt and hard which made it hard to enjoy. The Rueben was ok, the meat was very hard/tough. Hard to chew but the taste was ok. She really loved the chips and french onion dip. It appeared to be homemade and it was the best one she ever had and she's sort of an French dip aficionado. Overall I would probably go back again, it was a decent time and we really liked the atmosphere.

Did we listen? Not before, but now that we have been there, we can't wait to go back. From the outside, Carnivores looks like a dive bar. But au contraire, the place is actually NOT a dive bar at all. It's definitely a nice local restaurant/bar that has a Cheers vibe. Several of the tables had Reserved signs on them and I figured out that groups of people must have been gathering for NCAA Championship. Nevertheless, we were seated quickly and our orders were taken quickly and we were served piping hot food quickly. Fresh cut fries are one of my weaknesses and I couldn't resist ordering them along with the Jimbo sub which has shaved ribeye steak, hot sausage, provolone, mushrooms, onions and lettuce and tomatoes. Definitely a delicious gut-buster! And the fresh cut fries? Yeah, it was a boss move to order those to go with! If you're a beer drinker, this place is also for you because they have 8,000 different types of brands. Seriously, you can get your beer on with quite a number of varieties. We will definitely come back because of the fresh cut fries and affordable prices.
