Totally unexpected find! We spent a weekend in the Latrobe area, and were disappointed by the dining options. We ended up finding Chef Datos from searching on the internet. There would have been no way we would have found it otherwise. The food was amazing. Truly the best Jaegerschnitzel that I've had outside of Germany. I've had a lot of german food over the years. My wife is gluten-free, and Chef Dato's didn't disapoint. She had plenty of options for appetizers, entrees, and desert! If you're in the Latrobe area, please try Chef Dato's!!! read more

Stopped here for lunch twice while visiting Blairsville- so worth the extra drive! Chef Dato's extensive menu was a total surprise, with everything from turkey, stuffing, smashed potatoes and gravy (with the best homemade cranberry sauce I've *ever* had) to a well-executed curry special! The owners and staff go above and beyond to make everyone feel at home, and the desserts are out of this world! Ask for the homemade cakes!!! Portions are huge, and prices are reasonable. Highly recommend! read more

Wow; what a treat! This place truly lives up to their motto of fresh, unique and delicious! We went for one of the monthly Wild Game Dinners. It was fantastic. Had the appetizer platter along with the Outdoorsman Platter entree to get a wide variety of meats that I can't get otherwise. Everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked. My compliments to Chef Dato. Also Nina provided very quick and friendly service. Definitely going back and taking friends. read more

Reservation made a month in advance for New Year's Eve. Got here and had to wait an hour to be seated. Still waiting for our meal.....3 hours after we arrived. Not the most attentive staff, and not very concerned that we are disappointed. Very understaffed, which should never happen, as all guests had reservations and they should be prepared. We will not ever be eating here ever again. Three hours and our food finally came. We both ordered filet mignon and lobster. His filet was 3 separate chunks of meat. Mine was full of fat like it came off a rib eye. Potatoes and plate was all lukewarm. Vegetables so overdone they were mush. I would never recommend this establishment to anyone, ever. read more

Atmosphere was just so-so , but the food was great! My only complaint - We waited a long time for our appetizers, shortly after they arrived our dinner was delivered, leaving us little time to enjoy them. But the food was delicious. It is a little bit of a drive for us, but I cant wait to go back and try it again! read more

It's a really nice upscale restaurant in the area and the prices are reasonable best burger around! Try the lobster Mac and cheese it's really good! They really are carrying on Chef's Dato's tradition and food! read more

First visit: -two couples meeting up for a new experience. We drove right past, but turned round because we saw a large number of cars! After a short wait, (we had a reservation) we were seated and greeted by a drink waitress. Then meal orders taken from a menu with wide variety: our table mixed salmon, beef tips, and Italian fare, served with minimum delay in a very busy restaurant. All food beautifully cooked and presented. One of us could not resist apple dumpling and cream topping for dessert. We rated food and service excellent, and plan on returning to enjoy one of the evenings with a foreign-country theme. There are days set aside for almost every country in the world. Venue is not "City-Ritz," -more "Western PA-Country Tavern. Great service, excellent food and engaging staff made the evening one to remember, -and certainly to repeat. read more

We've been here probably 5 times total and have enjoyed our meals. Since my husband and I were alone on Thanksgiving we decided to go out. We loved the buffet here. It had all the standard Thanksgiving staples and I think the only real additions were pumpkin soup and ham. Everything was delicious. I was glad it wasn't overwhelming because I'm really trying not to overeat. But theRe was plenty if you wanted to. Lol. The price was very reasonable also. I would definitely recommend for a holiday and of course just a night out. read more

Great food, good service, large beer selection, minimal liquor choices. Had the steak salad, very good with real steak tips done right. Wife had the seafood pomadoro, very tasty. Highlight was the grape leaves. read more

We tried Chef Dato's for the Greensburg restaurant week and are so glad we did! The place doesn't look like much from the outside, and the interior isn't fancy compared to big city restaurants, but the fantastic service and amazing food are totally worth the drive. I had the lobster mac n cheese and my boyfriend had salmon. We both raved about the meals! The appetizers, potstickers and also a Georgian style cheese bread, were yummy and so interesting. We will definitely be back! read more

Honestly cannot complain about a single thing. The food was incredible. Absolutely recommend! read more

Visited on Saturday, October 24, 2015. Wonderful food and service! Had Wild Boar Sheppard's Pie, and Rabbit Pie. These were seasonal offerings, something different but well prepared and delicious. Everyone in our party of seven were pleased with their meals. Kara and her crew are attentive and always friendly. read more

I just ate here today with my mom and her parents and we had an excellent experience! I have some dietary restrictions, and the owner (who seated us) was very friendly and explained how a number of things on the menu could be easily modified for me. Before we ordered, the chef came out to see if there was anything else he could do for me. They were more than happy to make any modifications for me and gave me many options. I was very impressed with the effort the staff made in accommodating me. Besides that, service was excellent, the food was delicious, and the bill for all four of our meals came to around $36. We're already making plans to go back sometime soon! read more

My partner and I went here for New Years and had a marvelous time!...The atmosphere is lovely and the family that runs this restaurant is incredible. The owner and her son were a joy to experience, greeting all the locals on a first name basis. The butternut squash ravioli was decadent and light all at the same time! The pecan salmon was also delicious. 5/5! read more

I'm so happy we discovered this gem of a restaurant in Latrobe! My husband and I were working for a winery owned by friends of my family at Ligonier Days this weekend. After the festival ended Saturday we were searching for somewhere to eat. I'm so happy this place came up on Yelp. The group of six of us got there around 8pm and we had a great experience. I honestly wasn't sure what to expect when we pulled into the parking lot, but I was so surprised at how great Chef Dato's was. We were particularly excited about the special Oktoberfest menu and imported German beers. We all got drinks. For appetizers we had the stuffed banana peppers and fried pickles. Both were delicious. The peppers were spicy though so be careful! For dinner I had the schnitzel, which was great. It came with salad, mashed potatoes and vegetables. I wish I had noticed though there's a difference between regular schnitzel and Jager schnitzel. I had actually wanted the Jager schnitzel, but just order schnitzel and didn't get it with the Jager mushroom gravy. That's fine though because it was still wonderful. I got to steal some of my Dad's gravy because he did end up getting the Jager schnitzel. Everyone else at the table was super impressed with their meals as well. A lot of us ordered from the Oktoberfest menu, but there are plenty of delicious looking options on the regular menu as well. Somehow after all that food we still had room for some shared desserts. I had a few bites of the chocolate peanut butter pie. It tasted like a giant peanut butter cup. I was so full afterwards, but it was well worth it. One of the restaurant owners was there and I have to say how wonderful she was. She was so helpful with telling us what was good on the menu and the background behind the Oktoberfest (she's German and her husband is Italian, which is why there are so many great food items from different cultures!). It turns out every month they actually feature a special menu from different countries around the world. I really, really, really would love to go back and eat here again sometime, even though it's an hour and ten minutes away from where I live. read more

The prime rib was amazing tonight. The best prime rib in town. This is one of the friendliest places I've ever been to. Highly recommended, a must read more

We have been trying to eat here for a while, but their hours are iffy. Finally tonight was the night. It's a much nicer place on the inside. Walking in felt as though I was in an upscale New York restaurant with a sort of modern elegant gangster feel ... I am not sure how else to explain it but I loved the décor. It was warm and inviting. We were greeted by smiling hostess/wait staff. We loved the local beers on tap and the butter that comes with the bread is to die for. Salads were fresh but need some cheese. Our meals were good but could of used a bit more seasoning. I would tell you what we got but really can't remember what they were called. I can say I would have loved to see some pasta with a clam or wine sauce. Would love to go back and try some other things. The biggest issue I had.... I assume the young woman was the bartender... complaining the entire time to some regular costumers, from the lack of management to no one being 'in charge" to no one ordering supplies. She complained about her work schedule and how she would walk away but wanted to keep her foot in the door in case the owners step up and statr doing what they are suppose to be doing. She complained about everything and anything, That we overheard because she wasn't being very discreet about anything, she was just airing the dirty laundry.. Very unprofessional!. Its really sad, this place would be so great if only a few things were tweaked. Which makes me think the young lady may have been right... in which case I know a few people who could whip it into the place it could be and wants to be. read more

Went there last night on a friday. Pretty low key spot out in the country. Only a few patrons on a friday so i was a little worried. Our waitress was super nice and the app we ordered was above average. Portabella with crab meat. The entrees were average. My chicken was dry and hard to eat but the pasta was cooked perfect. Best part of my experience was the dessert. Red velvet cake was baked perfect. Very moist and light. Not too dense and the icing was spot on. Cheers to datos ya heard me read more

Kara and her staff are warm and welcoming, there is always something new and delicious to try. I've been there often and it's always my first choice to go back to. I've never been disappointed. read more

Reasonable price, good menu. Good selection of craft beers. Small, but complete menu. Very friendly. Worth going out of your way. read more

While the food was delicious, the quality of the wait staff is probably their best attribute! While eating my delicious peach chicken and frog legs, the table beside mine was serviced incredibly well. Won't go into detail but the patience and care they showed the elderly gentleman at the table was the reason that they got 5 stars! (And of course the food!!) Thanks guys! read more

Wow! Everything on the menu looked great, but I had the basil alfredo linguini with sauteed portobello mushrooms and shrimp with the chocolate stout. I can die now. What a meal! And a reasonable price tag! A great experience. read more

Great lunch with coworkers. The outside might give you the wrong impression but the inside is very elegant. Excellent service and everything was very clean (which I am a little bit of a freak about). Our lunches came out very quickly. I got the Reuben with fries and it was very good. Another person in our party had the grilled chicken and it looked just as good. I will definitely return for lunch or dinner to try something new. read more

A lovely little hometown restaurant with friendly staff and delicious food. Husband and I both got steakhouse burgers. They were cooked exactly the way we like them-medium rare. They were pretty big too. The fries are the same premade you'd get at EatNPark, but to be honest, I love them. Great selection of beer. Definitely will be returning. read more

This place is amazing! Location might be the only shortfall. Super-friendly staff and great food. The menu & specials had some very unique offerings that made ordering difficult. read more

Great meal international menu today was India & it was super!!!! I Would recommend this restaurant to everyone, please don't pass up the opportunity to experience Chef Dato's . read more

Amazing food and service! The adijka dressing is so good! The salad was fresh but the dressing was definitely the star. Seafood risotto and seafood pasta were both great. I also tasted my moms Salmon and it was delicious. I will be back next time I'm home to visit. read more

My wife and three children decided to go out for dinner to celebrate a special occasion. We heard about a new restaurant opening in the area and decided to give it a try. The restaurant/bar is divided into three different sections-each seemingly having a different atmosphere. We arrived early (5pm) and were seated in the open dining area which was worked well in our case with restless three year-olds. The service was very friendly, personable, and above all, prompt. My wife and older son had the 5-cheese soup, Paula's Maple Crusted Salmon and Lobster Macaroni and cheese, which they loved-especially the soup. I am a big fan of french onion soup and have to try it whenever it is featured on a menu. I was not disapointed! It was outstanding-not too salty and very hot-two qualities that more often than not, fall short. I also ordered the mushroom risotto which I found to be very creamy and flavorful. The kids meals were very fun and creative including the 'spider dogs' and the mini cheeseburgers. I still can't get my three year-olds to give me their opinions, though. There was not much left when it was time for desert. For desert, which we don't often order, we ordered the rasberry peach torte which was out of this world! It was delivered as a 4-5 layer chunk of pure decadence. We left very happy and full. (3 adult meals/2 kids meals-$65) We look forward to returning often to indulge in the many mouthwatering temptations on the menu. read more

We had a groupon for an appetizer and two entrees. Sat in the Bier garten, which was nice. The dining room looked and smelled dated. Had the potato pancake appetizer, it was a little gummy being that it was very thick. I had the NY strip steak, ordered it medium rare and got it medium well at best. It was grey throughout and had no seasoning. Vegetable and "smashed" potato sides were mediocre at best, I think butter was the only seasoning in the potatoes. My husband had the western chicken, he had no complaints but it was just a grilled chicken breast with a slice of cheese melted and bacon slices thrown on top. All total came to $50 which seemed very over priced for the quality. read more

Great food and good service, well with the visit. I had the pot stickers and the salmon. They both were great, the salmon is served with rice that was a little cold. read more

We had a great celebratory meal here with 10 family members ranging in age from 5 to 70+. (None of us are local to the Latrobe area but it was a good central meeting spot.) The menu has a huge variety which had something (actually multiple things) for everyone in our party, which is impressive since we have a number of different preferences. On top of the regular menu, there was also a special restaurant week menu, which had even more dishes (including the Georgian cheese bread) and was a really good value, and also a kids menu with many choices. Every dish was excellent and the management (Kara) was super helpful and flexible in responding to our needs. Service was excellent as well. (I appreciated the recommendation of the adjika salad dressing--a unique flavor!) And desserts were a special highlight. I would highly recommend Chef Dato's Table, and hope to find occasion to be back for more visits in the future! read more

I have been coming here since the restaurant was in Youngstown, PA. They have great food and drinks. There are themes to every night of the week. One night they have Italian, another night it might be Russian or sea food. My favorite night is German. I always end up taking some home. But you wont leave hungry. I have a friend who is a Vegan and allergic to many foods. They accommodated her every request. They make all their foods from scratch. I always come here when it is a special occasion. Try it you will like it. read more

My wife and I went to this wonderful restaurant for her birthday celebration. A cozy atmosphere, excellent wait staff and out of the ballpark food. The creamy roisotto and seafood pomodora is delectable and they had the best frog wings I've ever had. Also, very open to new dishes from other countries. Our new special place to dine. And, reasonably priced. Going back next Thurs for their wild game dinner. read more

What a nice place! Everytime Ive been here I havent been disappointed. Its a great place to grab a great lunch or dinner. I like the cloth over the tables, the candles, and the overall "feel" of the restaurant. The menu is also large with lots of great selections of food and alcohol. When Ive come here to eat, Ive always enjoyed the food I had. Also, Sherri is a great server here :-) read more

Excellent. Pretzel and cheese great! All food very good. Crime brûlée's and bread pudding best I have had in long time!

Totally enjoyed the Octoberfest Menu! The fried pickles were the best I have ever tasted. Had an excellent German beer with a pork & sauerkraut entree that was just as good. Great service too. I will return. read more

In the month of October they have an Oktoberfest menu. My mother and I both ordered entree options and an appetizer option from this menu. We started with the potato pancakes and they were served with sour cream and apple sauce. We both really enjoyed this appetizer. It comes with 2 large potato pancakes and the I had the chicken dinner option, it was served with spatzel and veggies. The chicken was served with a delicious bier sauce. We also ordered a piece of the pumpkin carrot cake to go. It is also very delicious. The season beer option was delicious. Would definitely recommend. read more

Delicious meal! The house salad dressing is probably the best I've ever eaten. The shrimp special was fantastic. The creme brûlée was perfect. The staff is super friendly & knowledgeable of the menu. Highly recommend Chef Dato's Table!! read more

Ate here with my wife. Food was very good. We had the Fried Dill Pickles as an appetizer. The breading was scrumptious. Their homemade Blue Cheese Dressing was unreal. Best I've ever had. Wife had a char grilled chicken salad and she loved it. I had the Broiled Cod and it was delicious. This was our first time here and we highly recommend it. read more

Four of us went there on wild game night 2-22-17. The food was excellent and the deserts were outstanding. Why I'm not giving 5 stars is that the waitress got the salads wrong and the soup wrong. Service was slow on the drinks. Don't judge a book by its cover. The place is very nice inside. I was impressed. That being said. I will be back. Check it out folks. You will not be disappointed. read more
