    Cellar bar
    Avery G.

    This was an amazing date night spot! We went down to the cellar and sat at the bar to enjoy fancy drinks while waiting for friends. After we had a round, we were seated with our group to enjoy dinner. The service was amazing - accommodating & friendly offering recommendations. I ordered the French dip (or similar) it was SO GOOD. And paired various wines with the meal. I had a lovely experience and look forward to another visit!

    Really cool place underneath a bike shop, which my friend and I found by just wandering past. There was a small wait to sit at both a table and bar, so they gave us free sparkling wine while we waited! We split the Pittsburgh pour flight, southwest egg rolls, and fries, which came with a large portion for $5 during the late night happy hour. The only thing I wished for was that the fries came with sauce, but ketchup and ranch were provided after asking. Cocktails were good and had very interesting flavor profiles!

    We had a private event here the other week and it went really well! The private room is a cool vibe and spacious. Our servers did a great job of checking in on us at appropriate intervals. I was a little wary when I realized our food would be buffet style instead of individually plates but each dish was delicious and there was plenty to around. I would have another private event here again!

    This was our anniversary restaurant choice. The ambiance is very cool. It's fairly large inside with tables spaced nicely apart. A cute sign said "Happy Anniversary." Our server was nice. No conversation, no recommendations, and no well wishes on our anniversary. The bread was spectacular, and needed more butter, but our waitress rarely checked back. Ordered pork schnitzel. It was tasty with nice breading and, although it looked o recooked, it wasn't. I had probably a tablespoon of mashed potato's. They were very good.. I think... gave hubby a taste and I had about 2 tastes left. They compensated by giving e tea carrots, I think. Nice idea, but I love my carbs. The "sneaky" moves (like adding carrots so someone didn't have to do proper mashed potatoes) continued into dessert. My gelato has 4 choc chips... in total. It was sent back and we were told they ran out of chips. In that case, DON'T PLATE IT!! Checked the desserts to go and there was no sauce w the cheesecake. Apparently they ran out and tried to pass it off hoping we wouldn't check (I'm guessing). They did remove the desserts, but we had to say something, which is awkward to begin with at an upper class establishment. Desserts were comped, but again, that just feels weird to complain!! Overall due to the sneaky moves, I gotta give 3 stars. Why plate something that obviously isn't right or is missing items? Either management screams at the Expo/server playing dessert or they totally don't care. We won't make a return trip.

    Cadence Cellars Speakeasy is a restaurant and full bar. The food menu lists starters such as beef-wellington egg rolls and a charcuterie board, salads, casual entrees such as sandwiches, upscale entrees such as filet mignon and lamb chops, and desserts such as cheesecake and gelato. The drink menu lists many cocktails and wines Through OpenTable, I had made a reservation for four people for a weekend lunch. OpenTable's website said that the restaurant's dress code is "business casual," but based on what other customers were wearing, I would recommend casual attire. The restaurant is located in the basement of the building. The seating hostess immediately seated us at a comfortable and clean table, and the waitress politely served us throughout our meal. I drank a Fallen Apple cocktail, and my husband drank a mocktail. I rate them each as 4 stars. My appetizer was a crab cake. My main course was a pulled-pork sandwich with truffle fries. My husband's main course was a chicken-bacon-ranch sandwich. I rate the foods as 4 stars.

    Great Service, environment, food but best of all are the cocktails! We needed to kill some time before the Penguins game and the speakeasy Gods led us here.

    The room is beautiful, the food is consistently solid to excellent, and the location does a lot of the work. What elevates Cellars into something genuinely special is the bar staff--they always go above and beyond!

    Came in on a Thursday night for some happy hour drinks and apps before going out for a friends birthday. For myself I had the tuna tartare appetizer which was incredible and then we all shared some French onion dip. I'm not usually a fan of French onion dip but I could not stop stuffing the chips and dip down my mouth. I didn't try any of the signature cocktails but my friends that did all really enjoyed them. They have a great beer list with a lot of my local favorites so I was able to enjoy the happy hour deals trying some new seasonal beer.

    The food, service and atmosphere were amazing. Highly recommend checking them out. Celebrating my Mom's birthday here was a great idea. We enjoyed the cocktails and look forward to going back. I could see myself going for happy hour since I have a great appreciation for carefully crafted cocktails.

    Great cocktails and wine selection with an old-timey feel. We sat at the bar and enjoyed watching the talented barkeeps whip up all kinds of elixirs that almost (almost) looked too good to drink. I appreciated the spooky fall decorations and look forward to seeing how things change once we head into the winter holiday season.

    Visiting family we decided to spend the day in Pittsburgh and decided to go back to Cadence Cellars since we enjoyed their brunch the last time we were here. They didn't offer brunch today since it was a week day so we opted for their lunch menu. I ordered their fish tacos and my husband ordered the spicy meatball sandwich. The meatball sandwich was very good and the fish tacos were just okay. The tortillas were stale and there was not much fish in it. I enjoyed their brunch better.

    Breakfast bowl

    We are DEVASTATED that they're getting rid of Sunday brunch because it was the best dang brunch this city has to offer. We got the chicken and biscuits, breakfast bowl, and French toast. The chorizo gravy for the biscuits and bowl was phenomenal and we hope to replicate it at home. The French toast was light and fluffy, plus the syrup and fruit compote were top notch. The speakeasy vibe is everywhere you look in the room. We were impressed that even the restrooms kept up with the theme. Our server, Ian, was GREAT. Not only did he make sure we were taken care of, he gave great recommendations for food and beverage options. I also watched as he gave the same level of service for the rest of his tables, plus the other patrons in the restaurant. He deserves the highest of accolades. We look forward to going back for lunch and dinner! (But please offer brunch still because I'm so sad.)

    I had high hopes for our dinner tonight, but it was an average experience at best. We had a reservation at 5:30 and didn't get seated for over 20 minutes. There were parties who came in after us (and also appeared to have a reservation) and they were seated first. The server was good, but the pace of the meal was not. Our appetizers came out quickly but then it was a solid hour wait for our entrees. When they finally came out, they weren't even that hot. As far as the food, the tuna tartare was tasty and plentiful but the fried burrata was a very small portion for the price. For entrees, we had the butternut squash ravioli, which was pretty good... but the chicken we added to the entree was dry and overcooked (burnt in some spots) and actually detracted from the taste of the ravioli. We also had the short rib, which the meat portion was plentiful and tasty, but the risotto, zucchini and cauliflower that accompanied the dish were a bit gross to be completely honest. The restaurant itself was nice and I like the re-purposing of the building. The lighting was nice and the decor was warm. Definitely a speakeasy vibe. I would not come back for dinner, but would return for happy hour perhaps.

    Horrible food. Apps were a joke. Asparagus was terrible, and the crabcake was doused with lighter fluid or kerosene.

When we walked in, the host greeted us right away, asked for our name, and seated us pretty quickly. There were actually a good amount of open seats, so I am not sure reservations were completely necessary, but it was still nice to have one. I honestly expected the inside to feel more extravagant and space themed, almost like an outer space vibe with more visual elements and atmosphere. I was hoping for something more immersive and futuristic. It was still cool overall, just not quite as visually dramatic as I imagined. We ordered an espresso martini and the Kiwi Nova. I really enjoyed my drink, especially after talking with the host who explained that they use scientific processes for their cocktails along with fresh purées and fresh ingredients. That is something I really appreciate because I am not a fan of drinks made with a lot of simple syrup or fake additives. He loved his espresso martini and said it was one of the best he has had. My drink was definitely on the sweeter side and I feel like too much of it might lead to a hangover, but it was still really good. Our server was attentive at first, but later on we ended up waiting a while to order another round. After sitting for a bit, we decided to order through the hostess instead and she got us taken care of right away. Overall, it was a cool experience mainly for the drinks. The cocktails were definitely the highlight. Service was okay, and I am not sure if we will return, but I am glad we finally got to check it out.

I've heard so many mixed things that I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed every aspect of my experience. It kind of has dive bar vibes but the food and drink options are definitely on the elevated side. They open at 4 on Sundays and I got there around 4:15. It was already pretty busy (and by the time I was leaving, every single table and bar stool were occupied). They have standard booth seats along the windows, hightop tables in the middle and bar seating along the bar that curves along the back of the restaurant. I chose to sit at the bar since I was by myself. I was promptly greeted by the bartender. They don't hand you copies of the menu, you have to scan the QR code to access. It is easy to read and follow with sections for drinks, specials (this time they were Wicked themed as a nod to the show at the Benedum) and a sushi section. I ordered the street corn dip. The chips were a bit overcooked and the dip was just OK. I thought it was pricey for what you got. The star of my meal, though, was the patty melt. It had the burger, a bacon jam, caramelized onions and was absolutely delicious! It was served with fries. I considered ordering sushi but wasn't sure what to expect. The patrons sitting on either side of my ordered rolls and they were a nice size and looked delicious, so that is something I would consider ordering in the future. It was a place I'll likely be back to because of the proximity to the theater (although their prices definitely reflect that). Just note how crowded it always is and give yourself plenty of time if you plan on heading here for dinner before the show.

Cocktail menu is deceiving as they didn't have all of the ones listed but they added a few extra that our server was kind enough to bring to our attention. I ordered a daiquiri that was not listed and it was so good. More like thick juice than a cocktail. Didn't even taste like it had alcohol in it. GF ordered a jalapeño marg that was also more sweet than spicy but had the cutest little garnishes. There were many appetizers that were tempting but you really can't ever go wrong with a burrata, especially fried burrata.
