I'm a huge wedding soup fan and theirs is great, even tho it had carrots in it. Wedding soup should NOT have carrots. Fortunately, there weren't too many and the taste of the soup was great.

I'd definitely go back if I lived closer.

I heard this quote ringing in my head as I explored this cool spot in Regent Square! Everyone knows I love a good theme and I was thrilled to stumble upon this Twin Peaks experience. Not only is the decor amazing, but so is the food. For brunch we had: The Chorizo Omelette Pork Belly Hash Irish Coffee I can't wait to visit "Twin Peaks" again and try the dinner menu!

Came back for another visit. Hemlock House continues to deliver an upscale, delicious meal…read more We shared 4 small plates and one large plate and were satisfied and not overstuffed! The kale salad was dressed well (I hate a salad with too much dressing!), and the almonds, grapes and avacado worked well in it. The broccolini was good--I'm not sure my palate was good enough to taste some of the ingredients! The malfatti was unique! Ricotta dumplings! Yummy. I was worried (not really) that the sauce Americain was going to be velveeta cheese! It wasn't, but it was a yellow cheese sauce. Crème fraiche on the side and Little bits of langoustine to round it off. Yummy! Then we had crab and bacon hush puppies. I didn't know what to expect, and they were delicious with a spicy ají verde sauce to go with it! Finally we had nouja cavatelli. I never make pasta with lemon and it was a nice flavor. Overall another great experience!

We showed up for a Saturday lunch ahead of a snow storm, and the overall experience was good. The staff were friendly. There were clearly some number of regulars around. The space is a bit old and drafty, but that just adds a level of character. In terms of the food, we ordered a few salads and a half reuben (part of the lunch special), plus an Italian flatbread. Nothing was exceptional, but everything was nicely prepared and presented. The vegetables in the salad were fresh and crisp. The flatbread was good but not particularly noteworthy. My partner liked the rueben, but thought it could use a little more sauerkraut. The Guinness was fresh and nicely poured. All told, this was a good experience. Understand that this is more of a neighborhood hang than a destination, but it excels at filling that role.

The lights were low, the dining room was cozy and it filled up fast. So, people really like this place. Don't arrive a second before 5pm bc you'll be waiting outside. We highly recommend a reservation. Service was timely and friendly. My drink was amazing. Highly recommend their cocktails. You can still enjoy classic tavern beers while watching the game at the bar. The food is what I have come to expect in Pittsburgh. It's never wow knock your socks off but it's good. I saw lots of people ordering the deviled eggs which I would try next time. I had the seafood special which was really good, filling. My daughter had a burger that she said was good. Highly recommend and we'll be back soon!

I know I definitely need to try more items from here. I tried the linguine, Apple pie, and the sweet potato pie. The linguine was very clearly homemade and tasted delicious. The portion was very solid for just $5. They had numerous kinds of vegetables, like mini broccoli bits, tomatoes, and more. The oil was well seasoned and very tasty. Nice bit of acidity as well. Very good, and the pasta was cooked perfectly! Came in classic cold form like with pasta salads. The apple pie was again so good. They had huge pieces of apples in there. The crust was very well made. Not too sweet, and the "sweet sauce" portion of it was great as well. Amazing portion, nice homey taste. I have never tried sweet potato pie, but now I know it's actually very good! I didn't even order sweet potato pie, but they gave it to me for free, as it was just a few days after Thanksgiving. They are the best! This sweet potato pie wasn't too sweet and the portion was very large for the price! You get your own mini pie for $5. The inside is creamy and has the perfect level of sweetness. The outside provides a nice crisp for contrast. I love it! All in all, this place is simply awesome. They have lots of delicious items on the menu, and I can't wait to go back. Amazing desserts, great prices, great portions, fresh food, and great owners!

Even early on, the place was crowded. It's definitely a local family hangout with an occasional unsupervised child of a wannabe parent. For me, the lighting was a bit bright but we didn't come for the illumination! My sister got a salad with chicken and quite impresively so.....not a single piece of brown edged lettuce in the bowl. That is a big deal. Everything is fresh and made on site. I had the fish sandwich which was very good but it was breaded and not batter dipped. It's strange because the "Cod Pieces" appetizer is batter dipped?! Anyway, it was a wonderful piece of fish. Moist, firm and the tartar sauce was a great accompaniment. The drinks were great and reasonably priced. The service is great. Everyone from the owner to bus help to servers are at your service. You are very well taken care of at Dad's. It's an honest place with people whose intentions are to serve you a great meal at a reasonable price in a comfortable atmosphere and you're not rushed even though the door never stops opening with new diners.

They turned the volume of the music lower and even adjusted the heat as it was just the two of us back there the waitress was still very attentive and helpful although she could have easily forgot about us. I was sold on the chai apple martini, even though I was hesitant because it felt more like a Christmas drink and it was February, but it was delicious and I got another one. I ordered the pork chop medium well the sauce was delicious. However, the pork chop was dry. I still ate the whole thing because the sauce and everything accompanying it was amazing. My friend ordered the pesto pasta, which I tried. I really enjoyed it too, especially the Barrata. his steak was also ordered medium well and was drier than my pork chop. I couldn't eat it, but luckily it was not my meal. He did didn't seem to mind too much. The vibes were high all night, even though we were in the back partly because of the waitress, but mostly because of what seemed to be almost a Rihanna only playlist lol
