I've been here twice and the food is absolutely phenomenal. I love the assorted bread tray that they bring out in the beginning. Dinner itself is so delicious. I got the seafood tasting after heavily debating what I should order off the menu. I am really really happy with my choice because I felt like I got to try a little bit of everything. The staff at the restaurant is so nice and attentive (and answered my many many questions as I debated what to order on the menu). The dessert here is phenomenal and even if you came in just for dessert I wouldn't blame you. They are really creative and not just your run of the mill cake or cheesecake etc. Truly each one is its own work of art. If you are celebrating something, I think this is the perfect restaurant to go to. A bit of a splurge but I would say 100% worth it!
5 stars all around for dinner! My husband and I really went all out for our anniversary. We each got an app, entree, and dessert and every single thing was top notch. Honestly, my favorite bite of the evening was the beet salad! Service was great and everyone was working hard. The inside ambiance just doesn't give off an upscale dining experience, but I won't hold That against them. The food speaks for itself.
Upscale restaurant. Hands down one of the best meals I've had, the husb agrees to this. Definitely a special occasion restaurant. We celebrated our 10yr anniversary here for dinner & it was definitely worth it. Unblemished ambiance & service. We were at the restaurant side- very chic & intimate. They have a casual tavern area along the bar on the other side. And an upstairs section. When you look up, there's an entire wall of huge wine selection. For cocktails we had the Cosmopolitan & Strawberry Smash-- both prepared great! Cosmos are usually a hit/miss situation for me; this was really good though- not too tart nor sweet-- very well balanced w/ a mild hint of vodka coming through, which after a few sips hits you in a nice, soft way. Husb said the Strawberry Smash was bangin!!-- the sibona amaro in it stabilized the fruitiness of the drink. For apps, we ordered the Calamari- it was soooo good & crispy/crunchy, I had to prevent myself from stuffing everything in my mouth! I was a bit sad I had to share this w/ my husb lol. It came with a hot & sour sauce w/ lemon which overall made the dish unique. For entree, I had the Scottish Salmon, came w/ scallops & I added crab cake to it. Succulent salmon was seared w/ great flavor, the sweet corn & pepper mixed in a tomato vinaigrette on the side under the scallops was just unbelievable. The crab cake was cut squared, hands down one of the best cakes. The flavor profile for the entire dish together in a bite was incomparable!! Definitely order this. Husb ordered the Gerber Farms Chicken, amish chicken served w/ risotto, greens on top of thyme jus (akin to a thin gravy). The chicken was cooked well-- juicy on the inside & a nice roast on the outside; the risotto wasnt heavy & didn't weigh the meal down, the thyme jus's flavor was subtle & it elevated the entire dish. For dessert, we got the Chocolate Hazelnut tart & Eleven Candy bar. I legit relished & inhaled the tart despite already being so full. Husb loved the Candy bar. A huge slice of brownie/caramel candy bar w/ chocolate mousse phew! The pics explain how mindblowin' everything was! A real one-of-a kind experience. Ron was great in explaining everything too. Taxes they add to the bill: sales, alcohol & Allegheny tax which raises the end charge. A toast to the chefs & Mixologists here.
Went for brunch here. Lovely place, great service. Our server , Bobby, was great. Explained the menu and specials . Brunch is prix fixe. I got the sticky bun and steak & eggs. The sticky bun was good but not my thing, I should have gone with the avocado toast. The steak & eggs were fantastic. The egg was a boiled egg, fried with something crunchy on the outside and running yolk inside. Delicious! Hubby got the quiche and the eleven burger. The quiche was great. The burger , hubby didn't like too much, but it came with fantastic fries. Kids loved their waffles and fruit bowls. We also had mocktails - the pink flamingo was great! Overall a great brunch, take your time to eat and and enjoy the food and the go to the Heinz museum and enjoy the rest of your day!
We just arrived in town to find the place we wanted to eat at closed early. So thankful ELEVEN had bar/tavern seating. This is a very eloquent and romantic vibe. We could even see some secluded seating up top. Our server was very friendly. We ordered some app and my wife and I wanted to split a burger, but we both wanted different cheeses. So our server had the chefs cut out burgers and prepare it with the cheeses we both wanted! The sticky toffee was very unique. Our only experience with it before was Gordon Ramsey's at his restaurant so this was such a unique flavor. When we visit the city again, we would definitely reserve a table in advance to enjoy the full menu. I will say, many upscale restaurant in the area are going to have higher priced plates. But I do feel their menu was more affordable compared to others downtown.
Absolutely loveddd this brunch! We did the price fixe brunch and got 3 courses. The oysters were an add on and were fresh and delicious. I loved the Bloody Mary - the pickled vegetable garnish was yummy. The lox was very well balanced. The omelette was probably my least favorite item - the egg to topping ratio was off for me...I like more topping than egg, but the bacon and potatoes were crispy and delicious. The strawberries on top of the cinnamon bun were delightful. I would absolutely be back for brunch. We were sat upstairs in a very spacious both. Our server was wonderful and attentive.
Made it to Eleven for happy hour and it was amazing! As an aside, you don't need a reservation for happy hour, seating is first come first serve. We got there right when they opened and the HH area was already so full. The HH food and drink selection is excellent. The standouts were definitely the pear and gin cocktail and the pork belly with sweet strawberry glaze. Yum. Service was good and the ambiance was nice. We also loved being surprised with bread service. So delicious!
The food was just okay, but unfortunately that wasn't the biggest issue. We actually saw a mouse while we were there, which was very concerning and made us uncomfortable about the cleanliness of the restaurant. When we asked to speak to the manager, all we got from him was 'there is mouse problem in the downtown area'. I don't care about the downtown issue, I care about this issue in your Resturant. He just wanted to brush it aside and send us out the door. He did give us $50.00 off our almost $300.00 bill which we had to ask for some sort of compensation. He should have done more than that. I don't think we will eat there ever again.
Eleven is a restaurant I discovered last year and now have ate at three times since then, and each time I love it more than the last. I have not made it there for brunch or dinner yet because their happy hour alone keeps me coming back. The happy hour is one of the best I have experienced. It features $9 bites, $9 glasses of wine, and $9 cocktails. It is offered Monday through Friday from 4-6 PM, and the menu is easy to find on their website. One thing I love is that shortly after you are seated, you are welcomed with iced water and a plate of three different breads with butter. Every server I have had has been attentive, friendly, and consistently checks in to make sure you have everything you need without being overbearing. Each time the food has been absolutely delicious. Every dish has the perfect balance of flavor and presentation. The atmosphere and vibes are another reason I continue to return. Parking is also very convenient as they offer valet service. There are also paid parking lots and street parking options nearby. Eleven is a restaurant I will continue to dine at!
Beautiful restaurant on the inside. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. My boyfriend and I started off the night with a glass of wine. He got a Cab and I got a Moscato. Both were very good and well paired with our meals. For our appetizer we got the Calamari. It was very light and flavorful. Its was lightly fried in Rice Flour so it was actually Gluten Free. I have not been able to find Calamari Ina Gluten Free version anywhere so it was nice. I got the Strip Steak with Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes and house made Tater Tots. The steak was cooked a perfect medium rare. As for the tots and the potatoes not too much flavor there but there was some kind of jelly next to the steak and that made the flavor much better. My boyfriend got the Seafood Tasting and was super upset because they ran out of the Chilean Sea Bass and he was really looking forward to it. They did allow substitutes for that and the crab cake since it was not gluten free. All in all I think the restaurant was pretty satisfactory. I would rate a 7/10. It didnt wow me but it was nice to have Gluten Free Calamari and they did have a nice wine list and at the end they gave us a chocolate that was peanut butter and dark chocolate. It was yummy.
Eleven on a scale of fifteen, is how I'd put this. And I'll round up to 4 out of 5 stars (know your fractions). We were part of a larger party (9 of us) and we were seated in the upstairs area, which was nice as it was probably more quiet than the downstairs area. The service was great. The waiter was attentive with drinks and taking orders and dealing with a bunch of people catching up with each other. Kudos to the waiter. Drinks were killer... I ordered the Anejo Old Fashioned and I love it. I usually switch things up and try other cocktails, but I stuck with these all night. I wasn't driving so why not? Great cocktail and others enjoyed theirs as well. I did try another diner's old fashioned and it was good as well. Don't tell them though! I also backwashed into it! ;) The appetizers were pretty great too. That tuna tartare was one of the best I've had. The fresh ginger was a nice addition and gave it the punch it needed. The calamari was also good with the sauce being a little different than most versions (not just sweet chili or marinara). For dinner, I had the seafood tasting which was a mixed bag. The scallop was perfect and in hindsight, I'd probably just get all scallops. The halibut was good, but nothing stood out about it. It was kinda just there as part of the meal. The crab cake was disappointing and I'm glad I didn't just get that as a meal (I thought about it). It was just mushy and needed some type of spice of flavor. If you're not using big pieces of crab, then make smaller crab cakes so there are more crispy parts. I'd definitely go back and try some of the other stuff based on the other reviews here. Good spot with a cheap parking lot right across the street too! I think it was $5.
Quite honestly one of the best dining experiences I have ever had. The flavor, the temperature, the texture, the presentation. Everything here was amazing in regards to the food. The crab cake was one of the best I ever had. The steak and potatoes were unworldly. The deserts were hit or miss but nothing ordered food wise was less that a 10!

Already trying to plan a trip back after a recent wonderful experience here for dinner! After a series of unfortunate events at our original dinner reservation location, our group of 7 landed in the cutest booth seating at Eleven. Our server, Derrick, was super friendly and attentive. The manager came over to greet us, as well, and she was very welcoming. We ordered a ton of food and felt like we sampled a good portion of the menu. So, when I say everything was delicious, I really mean it. My main was the pork chop and it was cooked perfectly. I loved the sweet potato and cheese "dumplings" and the roasted apple puree. I ended with the ice cream trio and shared with the table. We all agreed that the coffee ice cream was the best, with the majority giving a thumbs down to the very potent lavender honey. From the ambiance to the quality of food and exceptional service, I cannot wait to come back. read more
We went to Eleven to celebrate a very special woman in my life. The decor of the restaurant is eye catching. All of the staff were friendly and knowledgeable as they provided us with a memorable experience. All of the food was amazing as the flavor profile of each item connected to various taste buds simultaneously. read more

Love the brunch pre fixe! We've gone multiple times and have never had a bad meal. For $40 you get an app, an entree and a brunch cocktail and it's well worth the price tag. I got the rose sangria which was delicious and refreshing. For an app I chose the kale/brussel sprout salad which had a nice mix of salty macadamia nuts and tangy white balsamic vinaigrette which made for a delicious winter salad. The eleven burger was awesome with a hefty portion of goat cheese on top. If you are looking for an upscale brunch spot where you get a lot of bang for your buck this is your place! read more

Hi Courtney - Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback.…
My wife and I went here for a small meal before a company event. We had high hopes given the classy vibe and the good reputation that Big Burrito Group restaurants have around town. Without a doubt, Eleven is a fun place to eat, with dim lighting, music playing, and very friendly staff/servers. Parking is a bit tough - they have valet, but otherwise you're stuck with a few somewhat expensive garages/lots nearby. Unfortunately we found the food really disappointing. We ordered a crab cake appetizer, which honestly tasted like an oversized frozen fish stick that you give children (no flavor inside, oily breading outside). Underneath were some shredded Brussels sprouts which were doused in Dijon mustard dressing (you could literally see clumps of brown mustard seed - yuk). The dish also came with a yellow goop; the menu called this 'yellow coulis' but I would call it thick, sweet, yellow ketchup. We then shared the butternut squash & goat cheese ravioli. Again, the dressings were way too much. The ravioli filling was very sweet (much more than naturally comes from squash) and the whole dish was doused in salty gravy. There was some 'duck confit' on top, but this was really just small pieces of duck that tasted way too salty because of all the gravy. To add to the theme of overly dressed food, even the bread & butter plate came with a salted focaccia that was way too salty (I had many large salt flakes breaking off in my mouth). I always feel bad writing harsh reviews, but my wife and I go out for the chance to eat good food and this food was just extremely poor in many ways (especially for the premium prices at Eleven). read more

Everything is amazing at Eleven! Jake the bartender was fabulous friendly knowledgeable and so on point with his expertise! Love the ambiance. Loved the calamari, the ricotta cavatelli and who doesn't love a well made martini! My new favorite spot in the strip! Valet parking! read more
Not the easier place to get to, but ambiance was nice and dim. The drinks were balanced well, and our server was very friendly. The food was just ok though, unfortunately. We really enjoyed the initial bread they give you, but did not like the Tuna Tartare much. We love raw fish but this was bland and gritty. My strip steak was cooked perfectly, but a little too over seasoned. Which I would very rarely say, so the salt on this was extremely aggressive. We really enjoyed the dessert sorbet that they make in house. So all in all, some hits and misses, but not exactly what we were hoping for at that price point. So may try again sometime to see if it was an off night for them. read more

Upscale restaurant, great for a date night or a special occasion. Dimly lit inside, they have a nice fireplace. We came for their happy hour and sat in the bar area; happy hour is Tues - Fri from 4-6pm. They have $9 appetizers and a list of cocktails each for $9. We got the calamari and I got the margarita. The margarita was made well; it wasn't too sweet and it was strong. The calamari was really tasty, it's probably one of the nicer calamari dishes I've had in Pittsburgh. It's served with some thinly sliced fried lemon slices which I've never had before and I thought it was a really nice unique touch. The bartenders seem to be experts in their field, our certainly seemed to be with 25 years of experience, and he was very friendly. They have a great selection of liquor too, we tried a cocktail with yellow chartreuse in it which was excellent. Overall, we really enjoyed our time here and would happily come back again. read more

Fantastic experience. We went a little different route for this visit. We had tickets to a show next door at the Heinz History Center so we stopped in for drinks and appetizers. The buratta and tuna were fantastic. Happy hour drinks were great and reasonably priced. After the show we went back for a later dinner. We went right back to the small plates and had oysters, meatballs and beet salad. Everything was fantastic. Their selection of appetizers/small plates is one of the best I have ever experienced. read more

Our meal was delicious. You need to get the beef tenderloin!! The waitress was very kind and offered many recommendations which were super helpful. I got a sangria to drink which was delicious but I felt like majority of the glass was filled with ice. The place is dark but it adds to the ambiance. read more

Eleven is, well, not bad. The food is satisfactory for the price. Apparently they have the market cornered on salt. Our primary server (who never introduced himself so I can't tell you his name) did an efficient job. The restaurant was quite dark for much of our meal and we had to ask for a little more light. Thought it might be a slow night, some empty tables. I think this is the kind of restaurant that at one time was "the" place but is now resting on its laurels and locals know it's a decent place but not spectacular. Sorta has an "expense account dinner" vibe, minus having to park downtown. read more

I would highly recommend Eleven for special occasions - we loved it for Valentine's Day! When we arrived, we were a little early for our reservation so we sat at the bar. The ambiance of the bar is cozy but cool, and the cocktails were great! The service is fantastic with little touches like the bartenders being alerted when your table is ready so you get your check right away & don't have to wave them down to be able to get to your table. We dined in the upstairs section where I hadn't been before. The only negative I could say is that the upstairs room doesn't have the same cozy vibe as the rest of the restaurant, but it was still nice. The Valentine's Day menu was filled with amazing choices for all four courses. I opted for the prime tartare, black truffle gnocchi with lobster, lamb loin, & clementine guava sherbet for dessert. Everything was delicious, sized appropriately, and paced wonderfully. We were able to select wines to come with each course for very reasonable prices, and the timing was perfect. I already can't wait to go back! Food: A Drinks: A Service: A Ambiance: A- read more
We went to Eleven for the Mother's Day brunch. Parking was easy due to the parking lot right across the street, and when we entered the restaurant, we were blown away by how spacious it is. Each area is decorated well too. For food, we were given a prefixed menu. I selected the beet salad, which had golden beets (slightly milder than regular beets) and an incredible goat cheese pairing. I also selected the Scottish salmon, which was cooked to perfection. The Calabrian chilis with it added a nice spice. The only disappointing item was the fresh squeezed orange juice, which tasted like it was squeezed with unripe oranges. However, that barely detracted from the overall fantastic experience. I'm excited to return and try some of their other items. read more

I love Eleven! I've been here a few times and have never been dissatisfied. If you need a place for a special dinner or to impress someone--come to Eleven. From the moment you walk in the door it's a top notch experience. I've eaten on both floors but really enjoyed being on the second floor. There cocktails are top notch. I enjoy the cheese section as they pair it with jam/honey/ crackers. The entrees are a good size and they have a lovely dessert menu. Servers are attentive and service is well paced. I will continue to come back here haven't been disappointed yet! read more
I've been to Eleven a few times for special occasions, but decided to stop in the bar area before a fancy event at the History Center. And everyone had the same idea! The area was bustling with folks at 6 PM on a Friday night, with not a single seat open. It has a very cool atmosphere, feeling elevated like the rest of the restaurant but also warm and inviting. Everyone was engrossed in conversation, either with their date or a group of friends at the various small tables and the bar area, but it wasn't too loud in there. I waited for about 10 minutes outside until three seats opened up at the bar for me and the friends I was meeting. I started with the Sparkling Rose Sangria, which was so good. If I wasn't going to an event that came with drink tickets after, I would've had two! Then I got the Crispy Potatoes on the Tavern menu - a VERY delicious take on poutine. It was nice to see you could order from the full dinner menu, as well as their more bar-focused tavern menu. Each party around us had a mix of food and drinks because who could pass up the tasty cuisine at Eleven? My friends had a mule and margarita, both of which they enjoyed, and the burrata, which came with some veggies like asparagus. Yum! The food came out within 5 minutes of ordering, which was spectacular for us on our one hour before the event stop. The bartenders were nice and attentive. Be prepared to do a little waiting if there are any events in the area or Pens games if you decide to stop in the bar area, but I would definitely recommend! And get a reservation for the restaurant too! read more

Came here more recently, and had to update the review. The brunch went down a star because the price went up and they remove the oysters as an appetizer option. Had dinner here and that was three stars. Appetizers were solid, but all of our entrées were over cooked including the steak. It's at a high enough price point ($58 steak) that it really should be amazing every time you order. Service is still great but I wish the food was more consistent. read more

I had been going to Eleven to celebrate birthdays for years with a dear friend who passed a couple years ago and decided to go back for my birthday this year (on my birthday). The friend taking me out had never been to Eleven, and I assured her it would be a great experience. Or not. We were taken to an enormous round table and left with menus. Within a few minutes, a server in training appeared to give us water and take drink orders but upon delivering these, never stopped again. We were left unattended for 15-20 minutes when a male server abruptly stopped and asked what we wanted, as if about to keep moving rather than listen. No smile, no introduction, no apology for wait, no asking if we had been to Eleven or if we had any questions about the menu. He kept his answers to our questions brief and not always especially helpful. Even though my friend had put on the reservation it was my birthday, he didn't know but took the discount code from me when I asked if he needed that (which I knew should be mentioned at the outset from past birthdays). My friend has many diverse food allergies, which she explained so he could offer menu guidance, which he did. Long wait for food, with bread eventually delivered (~30-45 minutes after arriving). Neither of our first courses were good (she had calamari, I had squash risotto - which was better heated up the next day with some added salt but still not anything special). The leftover box of risotto was plopped on the table with a paper bag underneath (in the past, take-home bags were checked at the front desk). Our main courses (beef tenderloin for her, Scottish salmon for me) were good, as was the crème brûlée (banana), though it was minuscule. After dessert, he suddenly appeared and asked whose birthday it was (despite discussing this with me earlier) and delivered this broken chocolate "card" on an empty plate. In every other birthday outing I have attended, the plate has included fresh berries, sometimes with other small chocolates or fresh chocolate swirl. This was pretty pathetic. All our other plates and silverware were cleared, so we just had this on the table when he came back with the check. My friend also had a holiday discount, and he hadn't taken the birthday meal off the bill either, so we had to wait for that adjustment. My friend paid in cash and told him no change was needed. He finally smiled. I think he also finally really looked at the birthday plate, because he quickly ran off, saying as he left that he had something else for us. My friend tried to ask for more water as he left, but either he didn't hear in his haste or it was too late for water (we were the last diners in our section due to all the delays). He came back with two small plates of blueberries and a couple blackberries (fresh and tasty) and a truffle for me and told us he had never seen the kitchen be so generous and never to expect so many berries again on return visits, because this was really special (I showed my friend photos of past "birthday" plates full of berries). He rushed off, never to return - not with water (despite two empty glasses and a request), not with silverware (table had been cleared), not with napkins. Fortunately, I still had mine, so we shared it to wipe our fingertips (berries were wet and a bit juicy-sticky on outside). Good main courses but not the dining experience I had come to expect at Eleven. It was so bad that we were laughing - but we won't be back. Lesson learned. read more
