It may look like a hole-in-the-wall, but inside it's shabby chic (with the nicest bar bathroom I've seen in a while), and there's an outdoor space that can be re-arranged to host a group of almost any size. Plus, the music was speaking to me: it began with "99 Luftballons" and ended with "All the Small Things" from Blink-182 ("Work sucks / I know"). I met some girlfriends there on a Friday evening, and we split the Norwegian, vegetarian mezze, and Basque mussels platters. 1 per person seemed to be the right ratio, and everyone had enough to eat from the finger-licking variety. We enjoyed our meal while watching / listening to / feeling the rumble from the freight trains passing beneath us and across the railroad bridge over the river. (#ThatsSoPGH) The proprietess is a chef first and foremost, but the cocktails are hardly second rate. I really want to give a shout-out to the hard-working bartender! Although the margarita was mostly grapefruit juice, the whiskey sour was delicious, and the old fashioned was just different enough to be interesting. Beware! When the menu says the Oaxaca Sunset is spicy, they mean it! (It was too spicy for me.) To top it all off, after the sun had set, while we were trying to decide whether to wrap things up, a wild raccoon crested the hill and looked confusedly at all of us humans, as if to say, "Scram! It's my turn to eat!" Our little group paid up and left, at any rate, with plans to come back.

Fish and Chips and Shepard's Pie for us. I was expecting good, I was not expecting GREAT. There was a sizable serving of fish, perfectly done. Am I in Ireland? Spiraled fries, pickles and coleslaw. Coleslaw was good but needed my dad's touch. The Shepard's Pie was something else. Now I don't like beer as a drink but the plentiful strings of beef were soaked in Guiness. Yum. But you have to dig under the cheese coated mashed potatoes to find it and the peas and corn. This is a winner. Previously the only Shepard's Pie I had used ground beef. Love those strings of Guinness soaked beef. As is typical, when we LOVE a meal, we surprisingly eat less of it so we can bring it home and extend the experience. I do not like their cardboard container for leftovers. You pack it yourself and it is hard to close. I do wish their drink menu was more clear with mixed drinks. No prices and I didnt know if each group was ALL the ingredients or if you chose one. So I ended up not ordering a drink which meant that I couldnt talk hubby into a Guinness. I have been coming to the North Side for years and always wanted to come here but got sidelined by buying too many pepperoni rolls in the Strip. But no more. I will be back, maybe again this week. It was FABULOUS.

The vibe is relaxed, welcoming, and very Pittsburgh in the best way. I ordered the black bean burger with a side of tater tots and a beer. The burger was hearty and flavorful with a great texture, not mushy at all, which can sometimes happen with veggie burgers. It felt satisfying without being heavy. The tater tots were crispy on the outside and soft inside, exactly how they should be. Paired with a cold beer at the bar, it made for the ideal low-key afternoon meal. The bar area has that comfortable, lived-in feel where you can actually relax and enjoy your food. Whether you're going with friends or just popping in solo like I did, it's an easy spot to settle into. Would definitely come back for another casual afternoon bite.

I stopped by here a while ago with my family for dinner. This wasn't my first trip to Eiwa but it…read morewas my twins' first visit. This restaurant is located right on McKnight Road somewhat near the intersection with Siebert. The inside is fairly large with seating in an L-shaped configuration around the kitchen. We were seated near the back on one side where the lighting was styled like lanterns and there was also a fun mural on the wall in an almost manga style. For dinner on this evening I decided to go with the Golden Katsu Curry Ramen while my wife went with the tonkotsu ramen and my kids split a happy cat noodles. My ramen was described as served with house-made curry broth simmered with tender potato and carrot chunks, wavy noodles and topped with a crispy cutlet, half marinated egg, sweet corn and scallions. My wife's was described as pork broth with thin noodles, pork belly chashu, nori, bamboo shoots, fish cake, kikurage mushroom, half marinated egg, sweet corn and scallions. My kids' meal was described as chicken nuggets, soy sauce-based plain noodles, assorted vegetables, half marinated egg and one piece of mochi ice cream. They first brought out the wrong item for my kids but once we mentioned it they quickly corrected it and brought out the right dish. My curry ended up being really good. The chicken cutlet was crispy, the noodles were bouncy and I enjoyed the sweetness from the corn. The star of the show for me though was the Japanese curry which had a rich flavor with warm and inviting spices. My wife loved her ramen as well and we were all impressed with the quality of the kids' meal, especially the chicken and the flavor of the noodles. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Everyone in my family enjoyed their food and we appreciated that it felt both fun and family friendly.

I always wanted to try this place but I will warn you about to things:…read more 1. Parking is can become limited and pulling out on McKnight road is challenging as you're waiting for a while. 2. Service. It was very slow at first and we weren't really paid attention to until the other table left. People were coming in and it seemed more attentive to them but for us, it was like a mix at first. When we did finally order, service was way better. It was kinda weird. Food - I ordered the vegetable ramen (rice noodles) and the broth is out of this world. It has a really nice garlic flavor, very delicious that made me want more and I never had a garlic based broth before. The tofu was fresh and everything else tasted lovely. The other ramen was the tan tan. I didn't really care for the broth compared to mine but it wasn't my dish originally. We also ordered the takoyaki, two of them because it was so good! We had a side of seaweed salad which was fresh and good as well. Besides the service being kinda slow when it was almost empty, it was a lovely visit. The place also felt clean and the restroom as well.

It's been a great addition to the Mt Nebo area that has always lacked a modern, good eats menu. This location has a small arcade upstairs that is nice to entertain the kids for a bit. I enjoyed the jerk chicken cheesesteak - a fun twist on the classic Philly cheesesteak. Throw fries are dusted with a seasoning that is good and palatable for children. I ordered my daughter a kids cheeseburger with fries and the fries came dusted on her plate too. I didn't eat the crab Rangoon nachos but they were a favorite at our table.

My husband and I ate one dinner here. The menu listed salads, wings, sandwiches, pizzas, entrees such as pasta and steak, in-house beers, cocktails, mocktails, etcetera. Our waitress performed her job well. Here is what we ate: Crab rangoon nachos - 4 stars - Wonton chips were covered in sweet chili glaze, large chunks of imitation crab meat (which my husband liked), green onion, and black sesame seeds. Apricot bourbon salmon - 4 stars - The salmon was cooked nicely and was juicy and flavorful. For sides, the mixed vegetables had a bit too much oil, and the brussels sprouts could use more flavor. Chicken cordon bleu sandwich - 4 stars - My husband said that the chicken was slightly overfried and hard, but the flavors from the arugula, onions, prosciutto, cheese, and dijonaise were good. He liked the side of crispy fries. The total price was $54 plus tax and tip.

He thinks he's funny calling out that it's still morning. Cafe notte has good specials and good food. The staff is consistently friendly. We can immediately tell there's a number of regulars as everyone seems familiar with each other. Live music was really relaxing and for once I can genuinely say it was at a good volume (I think I'm aging). The restaurant has recently been remodeled. Still, it has the star-lit ceiling in the bar and the women's bathroom has an odd step up. The patio is directly on 65 which can be a bit noisy. I would suggest to pick a day to come here when you would prefer to sit inside!

First off, the restaurant was empty, but we were eating at 5 so we figured we were just the early crowd. When our appetizers came out we didn't have any silverware, ok fine, a bit confusing that the table hadn't been set up since we made reservations, but it was a mistake. Over 10mins goes by and we have to track down the server to get them. More than 30mins goes by when the server comes out and essentially has to ask for our orders again, keep in mind the restaurant is essentially empty, she says something was wrong with the system but the food would be out in 3mins. Nope. We sat around a bit longer and watched the staff takedown tables as if they were about to close. Finally the food arrived.....and to say that we've had a better meal at eat n park isn't even a joke, my mom's salmon was completely dry and overcooked $37, I got the pasta bar $28, when I went over the station was an absolute mess, obviously hadn't been cleaned from the day, I'll say again it was empty, when he was making my pasta, he literally bent down to the floor to grab the noodles -really! My husband's quiche came out $26 covered in balsamic after he had told the server at the very beginning he was allergic, she took it back and brought back a TINY piece. $400 later, I'm still irritated and completely disappointed.
