    German Pickle Soup
    Nick H.

    I'm giving this five stars because of the potential that you can see. I went at an off time, maybe low staffed. Service was super nice but very slow and limited... perhaps understaffed. German menu was delicious, got the pickle soup which was outstanding. Got the potato pancakes, fried up perfectly. Just the right amount of onion and salt... Had the fried provolone sandwich which to be honest... wasn't great. Using tiny basil flakes instead of fresh leaves? It's July, what are you doing. Using mediocre slices of tomatoes???? It's July, again.... Get fresh ripe beautiful tomatoes what are you doing? After asking for some balsamic drizzle to be added on the side... home, run! Sammy turned from zero to hero. Dramatic turnaround. Some of their international specialty dinners look intriguing... not sure how they are. They are on specific evenings. The building is big and elegant on the inside. Nice big bar, plenty of choices. Looks like it's trying to be a German inspired tavern with some of the entrees? Not sure but I'd definitely go again for an attempt at dinner.

    Broiled Cod with Buttery Crumb Topping
    Stacey B.

    Stopping by Dato's on a Saturday afternoon for a late lunch is like stepping back in time. The dining room is very dark windowless 1970's décor and features a huge rotating dessert carousel. We didn't know about the outdoor area or we would have picked that instead. They feature a lot of super interesting themed dinners which would be fun to check out like wild game night and Oktoberfest. Our meals were decent and the server was super nice. Two of our group had the Southwestern Fajita Salad and really enjoyed it with shrimp. I tried the broiled cod with buttery crumb topping that came with veggies and basmati rice. As you can see, no buttery crumb topping to be found and the rice definitely did not taste like saffron at all. So, it was bland and one note in texture. The dessert case is crazy. A local woman prepares their desserts which include cakes, pies, and apple dumplings. They are towering behemoths of cake layers and creams. The dumping came with vanilla ice cream and was super yummy. We also tried the death by chocolate which lived up to its name, the peanut butter chocolate pie featuring an oreo crust which was super delish, and an orange cake that was a little lacking in orange taste but good. We enjoyed our lunch and would try it again.

    Giant Bavarian Pretzel with Bier Cheese
    Mike K.

    Chef Dato's Table: what an amazing gem just outside of tiny Latrobe this is! Kara (the owner and the late Chef Dato's wife) and her chefs and servers are all absolutely wonderful. The food? Incredible; large portions as well. The drinks? Delicious. You can go ahead and make it a point to come here now if you don't want to keep reading (trust me, you'll love it) but I'll share a bit about what we had below. My wife and I visited for lunch and each got a handmade cocktail--a Negroni and Manhattan--perfectly crafted by Kara herself. We ordered the giant Bavarian pretzel with bier cheese as an appetizer, which was enormous (the size of my adult head!), hot and flaky, and the hot cheese dip was *chef's kiss*. We were both feeling a sandwich, so after some help from our amazing server Paige (ask for Paige as your server!), I selected the famous Chef Dato's Battered Fish Sandwich and my wife picked the Turkey sandwich on stuffing bread (basically a Thanksgiving meal in sandwich form). Did I mention the portions are enormous here? Come hungry! Our sandwiches were perfect and the fries hot and crispy. We had zero room to try dessert this time around but I cannot wait to return to try their dinner entrees or one of their famous Wild Game nights. Latrobe is incredibly lucky to have Chef Dato's. Swing by when you're in the area!

    Frog Legs with a Green Pepper Cilantro Lime Sauce

    This was our first time here and were blown away! We heard about this place through word of mouth and it truly is a well hidden gem. The menu is vast so there's something for everyone, and it all sounds amazing. The staff was very friendly, welcoming and attentive. The prices are modest and you get plenty of bang for your buck! They have a great wine selection and a huge craft beer selection. The environment is unique and modern with retro accents that make it a sleek date night idea. There was also a plethora of special events and promotions to check out with all types of unique foods. My whole table was very happy with our experience and will return soon!

    Family Dinner there once a week. The price of the entree is fair for the quality of the end result!

    Great beer selection. I love their hamburgers and pork schnitzel. Their fried pickles are good too. Always a great selection.

    Sarah and Shaunden were a dream to work with. From the first meet up, they were bursting with…read moreexcitement over our vision, already brainstorming how to make it happen. They researched, emailed, called, collected proposals, and vetted every vendor before presenting us options. They handled all communication and coordination with vendors all the way up to the wedding day. These two have such a feel for design. They used colors, textures, lighting, and accents to create the overall "modern boho, earthy vibe", we envisioned. They captured the very essence of our personalities, it was literally "so us!" Our favorite part of the planning process was our dinner & drinks where we hung out for hours catching up and discussing wedding plans. We became genuine friends throughout our time working together. They were always a text or call away. Sarah even saved the day when 2 vendors backed out, due to covid, a week before the wedding. A situation that would have made any couple breakdown, Sarah was quick to suggest solutions and had everything back on track by the end of the day!! Everything they did was absolutely above and beyond. Everything they touched turned to gold. IRIE was worth every cent we spent.
