Hyeholde is a unique dining experience. You drive up to what is quite literally a castle, and once you arrive there is mandatory valet parking. From there, you enter the restaurant and are greeted by the hostess. There seemed to be several different dining areas--an upstairs area, a room off to the side, and another dining room down a few steps. The lower dining room is also ADA accessible. I don't drink alcohol, so I was happy to see that they had a few mocktail options. We started with the heirloom tomato salad and OMG. This was genuinely one of the best things I've ever tasted. The peaches, basil sorbet, tomatoes, and that bite of vinegar were SO complementary. Every bite had something going on. I ate the entire thing myself and didn't even offer any to my husband, which probably says more than anything else I could write about it. We also tried the mushrooms, smoked olives, and grilled peaches. My husband really enjoyed the mushrooms and peaches. I was more indifferent toward those dishes--they were perfectly fine, but the tomato salad was such a standout that nothing else we had to start came close for me. For my entrée, I ordered the smoked cod rigatoni. This one unfortunately wasn't my favorite. It was fine, but there was an oddly gamey flavor to it that I couldn't quite put my finger on. I love smoked flavors, so I don't think it was simply the smokiness--there was just something about the flavor that didn't work for me. My husband ordered the halibut and absolutely loved it. For dessert, we shared the banana PB&J, and my husband also ordered an affogato. Interestingly, they used chocolate syrup in the affogato, which he had never had before, so that was a fun and unexpected twist. Overall, Hyeholde is absolutely worth experiencing at least once. The setting is beautiful and unlike almost anywhere else in Pittsburgh, the service and atmosphere make dinner feel like an occasion, and that heirloom tomato salad alone is something I'll be thinking about for a long time. Not every dish was a home run for me, but the ones that were really stood out.
"I feel like I'm drinking in game of thrones," my husband says, after we order glasses of wine. "About to slog mead and ramble to battle," he continues. We got lucky to have an unexpected night out with an unexpected reservation opening. Here's what I'd recommend knowing: - valet only - no kids under 13 - scratch kitchen, which is fantastic - strict dress code - if you are in the tavern you have to walk outdoors to the bathroom. It's not far but if it's raining it might be a consideration. Our server was super kind to us, and the food was fantastic. It's a unique interior for sure; we sat on the tavern side which is in the old carriage house. I've eaten inside the main restaurant and it definitely feels like eating in weird rooms in a house (which it is), but for some reason it's part of the charm.
We made a reservation at Hyeholde to take my in-laws to dinner on the day they met their grandson. When the restaurant called to confirm, we confirmed that we were a party of four adults plus a 4-month-old baby who didn't need a booster seat, and were told, "That's fine." After driving 40 minutes to the restaurant, we were turned away at the door due to a "no children under 13" policy. We were told we should have known because the policy is on their website, despite having explicitly mentioned the infant during the confirmation call. We turned around and drove 40 minutes back into the city, where we found another restaurant and had a lovely dinner. Here's the offending 4-month-old, silently smiling his way through his first dinner with his new grandparents.
This is a very cool place tucked away in coraopolis. It has an old castle like feel. They have valet and coat service as soon as you get there. The inside is very cool. Cozy yet castle like. The service was amazing, but it is a long process. Roughly 2 hours for drinks apps and mains. The food was very good. The steaks taste was good, but for a $75 Delmonico, the expectations were just a little higher. The mashed potatoes and 1000 layer potato were the star of the show. Very buttery very good. The seafood pasta was good and the seafood was fresh and tender. The oysters were good. East and west. The homemade hot sauce was amazing. All in all it was a pretty good experience. The drinks. Smokes old fashioned was very good. The manhattan was also very good. The strawberry spritzer did not get consumed. We didn't like it.
If you are looking for a great local experience this is the place for you. We had awesome experience with your friends here. Everything we ordered was made with love. The service was amazing as well, we had Daniela and she was very friendly and knowledgeable. Very cool vibes inside where you felt like you were at home, nice and cozy! This is why you go out to eat for an EXPERIENCE!
We made reservations for our anniversary. It was a snowy evening and they were able to accommodate us for an earlier reservation time. The venue was historic but we didn't get the details on the history or significance. They were very attentive from the get go with the valet and coat check. The dining room is intimate and they sat us at a corner. While we thought it was a good seat/space, it ended up being very cool that evening. The fireplace was on the other side of the brick wall so we got none of the heat. Food wise it was excellent. The mushroom soup was delightful and the truffle touch was delicious. We also had the olives to start and they were good, great varieties. The pork belly was just fine, we both thought it was the least interesting and special and we could have done without. Hubs enjoyed his chicken and loved the Yorkshire pudding. My seafood tagliatelle was delicious, with shrimp and scallops. Service was nice and attentive, helpful with our dietary restrictions. One downside was no acknowledgement of the celebratory nature of our dinner. Overall a nice spot for dinner.
We visited the "winter chalet" on a Wednesday night and had a lovely time. The chalet is in a separate building from the main building. It's very cozy with a wood-fired fireplace and blankets at each table for extra warmth. The chalet has a separate themed menu with small plates and some main dishes. We got the fondue, osso bucco and lamb cassoulet. Everything was delicious. We finished the meal with a winter pavlova, which was also excellent. I highly recommend for a cozy winter dinner retreat!
If you're looking for a behind the scenes dining adventure in Pittsburgh then look no further than the chef's table experience at Hyeholde They have up to two slots per evening and you have to call to make a reservation. The exterior and interior are gorgeous and all the parking was valet. We were led to our table tucked away in the kitchen and six of us enjoyed a delicious six course meal. Most of us opted to go with the wine pairing option and you can also order cocktails and other beverages a la carte. My favorite courses were the short rib and the bread pudding dessert! There were a couple of small critiques I had - the beans in the cassoulet probably needed to be cooked a few more minutes and the fish wasn't as flaky as I would've liked and was slightly overcooked but these are very minor things. We all had a lovely time and would overall recommend this experience.
Warm and enigmatic; yes. Service and ambiance; one 100%. Flavor and originality; meh. Came to celebrate our 2nd anniversary, hostesses was cold upon arrival but our server was more receptive and inviting. Unfortunately, the venison my partner selected was tough as boots and had to be returned. The oysters were tough and expected a smoother finish. Potatoes dauphinoise tasted very reminiscent of McDonalds hash browns, it was surreal. Very kind they brought a dessert and celebrated with us such a special occasion. For the price point Hyeholde missed many, many marks.
The restaurant was beautiful - I've never seen anything like it in Pittsburgh. It is a rustic decor castle but transformed into a fine dining experience. Staff was also very professional. I only wished the food was slightly better for the price we were paying. The drinks were very strong so the alcohol flavor was too overpowering to taste the other components of the drink. The bread basket and the cheese in the salad was great, but we were a bit disappointed that the cheese and pear salad only had a tiny bit of cheese and a few thin slices of pear. For the entrees, both were good but the sea bass was phenomenal. The fish was tender and flavorful, and the side dishes were also great. However, the portion size for the entrees are really small. We also got a side of mushrooms and were pleasantly surprised at how it wasn't too oily and included a nice variety of different kinds. Overall, the experience itself was lovely but the food could have been better given its price and portion size.
So I arrived Pittsburgh at 5 pm from lax yelped and found this restaurant close to the hotel I was staying. We called and I spoke to Beverly and she told they were booked for the evening we discussed other places my husband and I could go to about 2 min later I received a call and she said she could get us in. Who does this ... wow and then when we arrived we had a choice of 2 tables we choose table 8 a view of the outside with an intimate seating of 2. We were explained the history of the home and told to take a tour afterwards. Our waitress was Twinkle and was just as amazing walking out thru every choice ... I had the bisque soup halibut with broccolini my husband had the mushrooms/ cod/ and we both had the peach old fashioned with smoky flavor the dessert was baked Alaska with rubarb and was exceptional. Everything was steaming hot and presented perfectly the timing and the service was perfectly done. And as we were leaving we again were greeted with Beverly and she gave us a complete tour and they happened to be having a pig roast the next day so it was so nice to see the set up. I highly recommend this beautiful charming restaurant I would love to visit again.
Hyeholde Restaurant is located inside a CASTLE! This castle was built by the Kryskill family in the 1930s and was both a home and a restaurant. Today Hyeholde is owned by Chef Chris O'Brien. Hyeholde serves dinner in several beautifully decorated rooms. The menu lists foods such as charcuterie, sherry bisque, salads, oysters, foie gras, delmonico steak, lamb, chicken, vegetarian feast, and creme brulee. Many wines and other beverages are offered. Special events include a behind-the-scenes chef's table, pig roasts, private outdoor picnics (which I did a few years ago and highly recommend), and private events such as weddings. For about 10 years, I have been a customer of Hyeholde. (Please see my previous reviews below.) Most recently, my husband and I ate dinner here. The valets, seating hostess, and waiter interacted with us in a very timely and courteous manner. My appetizer was the Little Gem Salad that uniquely contained blueberries, corn, radish, stracciatella, and ginger-lime vinaigrette. My husband's appetizer was the Small Local Cheese, which consisted of assorted cheeses, candied nuts, giardiniera (pickled vegetables), breadsticks, and honey. We also received free bread rolls, crackers, and butter. My main course was the Braised Short Rib, which was very tender and flavorful. Its side was a mixture of brown butter oats, English peas, lamb bacon, mushrooms, ricotta, and lemon confit. My husband's main course was the Elk Strip Loin, and he liked it a lot. It was cooked exactly as he requested, and it came with cornbread, cheese flan, fermented corn, corn purée, cauliflower, and demi-glacé. For dessert, I enjoyed the Peach Melba French Toast. A brioche was topped with peaches, raspberry coups, brown-butter streusel, and cream-cheese ice cream. I drank the Lady Hyeholde Tea, which was black tea with orange, cornflower, rose, lime, and vanilla. I rate all of the foods and the tea as 5 stars! Please note that Hyeholde has policies such as guests being 13 years old or older, using valet parking, and wearing business-casual clothing.
I went back & forth on this one w/ my hubs - 4 stars? 5 stars? In the end, the sum total experience was a solid 4 - good food, great aesthetic/vibe, great server, but the lack of accommodation/hospitality, some of the food, the price point on some of the food were drawbacks. One negative happened *before* we arrived. This special evening was to celebrate the 80th birthday of one of my sisters-in-law. We called to arrange a special dessert plate, etc, in advance, but the young woman who answered instantly told me no and said we could order a dessert and they would put a candle on it. I asked if we could choose a few desserts in advance and have them arranged on a platter with "Happy Birthday" written on it in some way, but again this woman said, "No, we really don't do that." Womp womp. Could've been an easy win. She actually encouraged me to bring an outside dessert and they would put a candle on that. She could've suggested a bottle of champagne or glasses of champagne being delivered to the table in advance, but no. Disappointing to say the least, especially at a restaurant of this caliber. Moving on... When you roll up to this location up a winding road, you get how special/unique Hyeholde is. The Tudor-influence is charming, as is the thoughtful gardening & its romantic evening uplighting. A valet pops out immediately to whisk away your car. (One sis-in-law arrived before they opened & was alarmed at no handicapped parking, but this is clearly why: the valet.) Another negative happened before we entered the restaurant -- the valet informed us that our pretty, small birthday balloon would not be allowed inside. The restaurant door opened as we started toward it - the owner & exec chef (we would learn later) welcoming us. Nice touch. One snag: both my sis-in-laws have some challenges walking/climbing stairs; no one asked the SIL who made her own birthday reservation (at her insistence!) about this. So, the 2 were a bit surprised when told that we would be headed upstairs to dine. While our host seemed somewhat willing to change up our location, there was a handrail up the stairs, so both SIL's opted for the climb. Our server, Ryan, was great - enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and cheerful throughout. The food: They had just changed to their spring menu, but three of us opted for the creamy mushroom soup, a winter menu holdover. While it was mushroomy and flavorful, I really do prefer my mushroom soup to have a splash of sherry. The artisanal greens with honey pear dressing was fresh and light. We all agreed that the dressing was excellent & the greens crisp & flavorful. (Slight drawback: It's fairly small & very simple; $14 is a bit much for this). The bread plate that came with our appetizers was good. One of my SIL's is a master baker, and she positively sang the praises of the brioche rolls. There's one for each in the party. Drawback: We wanted more and were happy to pay, but Ryan told us that wasn't possible. They only make enough for each person to have one each night. The homemade apple butter was excellent. Star appetizer: Smoked olives (!!!) - it sounds crazy, but all 4 of us could not get enough of these. The Applewood smoked treasures were to die for, especially the massive Cerignola olives. WOAH. The truffle mushroom pasta with chestnut cream was also positively standout. Huge, meaty mushrooms were slathered in a rich, flavorful cream with what seemed like campanelle-type pasta - YUM! Ryan recommended the tuna crudo app/small plate - but we just didn't have room. Next time... Main courses: birthday girl & I ordered the seafood tagliatelle which was excellent. The seafood - a blend of shrimp & scallops - was nestled in a saffron beurre blanc with a hugely flavorful blend of fennel, sun-dried tomatoes, & yummy black garlic. Hubs & other SIL got the Delmonico. Neither would recommend it. It was cooked perfectly but was a bit salty, not terribly juicy, and at ***$75**** - I can confidently say (after tasting a piece) that it was not worth it. The bordelaise sauce was nice, but the multi-layered mille-feuille potato creation - while definitely impressive - was too salty, according to the SIL who ordered it. Wine - we brought our own (bday girl had been saving 2 v special bottles) & paid their $40 corkage fee. Dessert time! Birthday SIL got the Ryan-recommended NY Cheesecake (his fave). First - this isn't NY cheesecake! BUT - it is quite good -- creamy, flavorful with a nice, thin, crunchy Graham cracker crust, and a spoonful of succulent preserved cherries. Ryan even magically stuck a little candle to the plate for our celebration. The standout fave, though, was the special carrot cake -- a creative version with a yummy, coconutty/pineapply ice cream colored with carrot juice and garnished with a crunchy, thin sliver of dried parsnip and carrot. Really good! My other SIL got the passionfruit pavlova and thought it was good (I don't do meringue - so I didn't try it).

What a special place! The inside is a step back in time, service is over the top and personal. They encourage you to walk around and see every room, every building and the grounds. Downstairs they have a hallway with the history of the family and the creation of the Hyeholde .. don't miss it! My husband and I went for an early Mothers Day dinner and we can't wait to go back for the chef's table experience. My husband enjoyed the elk dish while I enjoyed the halibut. Crème brûlée was delicious and the chocolate covered spoon was a nice touch. This is very much an experience dinner so expect $$$$. read more
Hyeholde is where we wedded eight years ago on an altar outside of their fabulous round room. We try to get back for our anniversary which makes it so special and filled with sweet memories. We were thrilled when they reopened. Our waitress was phenomenal and so very attentive and personable all evening. We were seated in a tucked away alcove that was simultaneously intimate/charming and somewhat off putting. The table was small and underneath some ceiling pipes next to the widows with a wooden artsy room screen to hide whatever door was behind it. The food was good although a bit overpriced compared to the food at other high end places in Pittsburgh. We started with the tuna tartare that was very tasty and the cold mushroom app that was just okay, nothing too special. We also tried the straight forward sherry bisque (a few crumbled crackers from our small bread plate helped give the bisque body and texture). The dinner rolls/crackers have been the source of countless bursts of laughter over the past week. They were comically small and you can't ask for more because they only bake enough for one per customer. The homemade applesauce accompaniment was really good. Seriously though, kick up the bread plate at the meal price point. Entrees we tried were the short rib and halibut. The short rib was nicely cooked and a big portion. The halibut was not seasoned much and the white beans underneath were a little too al dente. The pumpkin cheesecake was very delicious as were the espresso martini's. This is such a charming romantic place. Hoping they can bring their pricing back in line with the quality of food they are presenting. read more
Go to Hyeholde for the ambiance. The building and setting are absolutely beautiful and rustic, with bold beam ceilings, chandeliers, and a romantic, dimly lit atmosphere. It's a perfect spot for a romantic dinner for two. The wait staff was very attentive throughout the evening and made some great recommendations, which added to the experience. They also have a great list of craft cocktails. My husband had a mezcal-based cocktail and I had a vodka-based drink, and both were very good. The tomato salad was delicious and incredibly refreshing, especially with the basil sorbet. I believe this may be leaving the menu soon due to seasonality, so definitely try it if you see it available. We also shared the cheese plate and olives, which were both very good. One downside was that we had fruit flies around our table when the cheese plate arrived, which was disappointing. For our entrées, my husband ordered the elk, one of their specialties, and I had the chicken. Both were okay, but neither really stood out to us. For dessert, we shared the PB&J banana bread, which was good. The dessert coffees, however, were outstanding! Overall, Hyeholde is a beautiful and romantic experience, and the setting is definitely the star of the show. The attentive service and helpful recommendations were also a highlight. If ambiance is a priority, it's a great choice. That said, if you're a serious foodie and choosing among Pittsburgh restaurants, I'd personally put some other spots ahead of it for the food. read more

Hyeholde Restaurant is located inside a CASTLE! This castle was built by the Kryskill family in the 1930s and was both a home and a restaurant. Today Hyeholde is owned by Chef Chris O'Brien. Hyeholde serves dinner in several beautifully decorated rooms. The menu lists foods such as charcuterie, sherry bisque, salads, oysters, foie gras, delmonico steak, lamb, chicken, vegetarian feast, and creme brulee. Many wines and other beverages are offered. Special events include a behind-the-scenes chef's table, pig roasts, private outdoor picnics (which I did a few years ago and highly recommend), and private events such as weddings. For about 10 years, I have been a customer of Hyeholde. (Please see my previous reviews below.) Most recently, my husband and I ate dinner here.

One snag: both my sis-in-laws have some challenges walking/climbing stairs; no one asked the SIL who made her own birthday reservation (at her insistence!) about this. So, the 2 were a bit surprised when told that we would be headed upstairs to dine. While our host seemed somewhat willing to change up our location, there was a handrail up the stairs, so both SIL's opted for the climb. Our server, Ryan, was great - enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and cheerful throughout. The food: They had just changed to their spring menu, but three of us opted for the creamy mushroom soup, a winter menu holdover. While it was mushroomy and flavorful, I really do prefer my mushroom soup to have a splash of sherry. The artisanal greens with honey pear dressing was fresh and light. We all agreed that the dressing was excellent & the greens crisp & flavorful. (Slight drawback: It's fairly small & very simple; $14 is a bit much for this). The bread plate that came with our appetizers was good. One of my SIL's is a master baker, and she positively sang the praises of the brioche rolls. There's one for each in the party. Drawback: We wanted more and were happy to pay, but Ryan told us that wasn't possible. They only make enough for each person to have one each night. The homemade apple butter was excellent. Star appetizer: Smoked olives (!!!) - it sounds crazy, but all 4 of us could not get enough of these. The Applewood smoked treasures were to die for, especially the massive Cerignola olives. WOAH. The truffle mushroom pasta with chestnut cream was also positively standout. Huge, meaty mushrooms were slathered in a rich, flavorful cream with what seemed like campanelle-type pasta - YUM! Ryan recommended the tuna crudo app/small plate - but we just didn't have room. Next time... Main courses: birthday girl & I ordered the seafood tagliatelle which was excellent. The seafood - a blend of shrimp & scallops - was nestled in a saffron beurre blanc with a hugely flavorful blend of fennel, sun-dried tomatoes, & yummy black garlic. Hubs & other SIL got the Delmonico. Neither would recommend it. It was cooked perfectly but was a bit salty, not terribly juicy, and at ***$75**** - I can confidently say (after tasting a piece) that it was not worth it. The bordelaise sauce was nice, but the multi-layered mille-feuille potato creation - while definitely impressive - was too salty, according to the SIL who ordered it. Wine - we brought our own (bday girl had been saving 2 v special bottles) & paid their $40 corkage fee. Dessert time! Birthday SIL got the Ryan-recommended NY Cheesecake (his fave). First - this isn't NY cheesecake! BUT - it is quite good -- creamy, flavorful with a nice, thin, crunchy Graham cracker crust, and a spoonful of succulent preserved cherries. Ryan even magically stuck a little candle to the plate for our celebration. The standout fave, though, was the special carrot cake -- a creative version with a yummy, coconutty/pineapply ice cream colored with carrot juice and garnished with a crunchy, thin sliver of dried parsnip and carrot. Really good! My other SIL got the passionfruit pavlova and thought it was good (I don't do meringue - so I didn't try it). read more

Very nice little spot for Valentine's Day. I went with my fiancé the Thursday before Valentine's, I had reserved in early January, and both the 13th and 14th were already fully booked, so definitely make a reservation well in advance. When we arrived, they offered complimentary valet parking. Make sure to bring some cash for the tip, they do a fantastic job. We were seated immediately, though unfortunately in a tight corner. If it hadn't been Valentine's season, I probably would've asked for a different table, but I understand it was a busy time. As an appetizer, we ordered the cheese platter. The highlight, honestly, was the pickled vegetables, they were so good we ordered an extra side (we got charged for that little tiny thing) Their beer selection is a bit limited, but the cocktails are interesting. I had a Heineken, and my fiancée ordered the Cat's Pajamas, I'm assuming she liked it because it disappeared pretty quickly. For mains, she got the Seafood Tagliatelle and absolutely loved it, she's still talking about that pasta days later. I ordered the Elk Striploin; I would've preferred it with a bit more salt, and I'm usually not someone who adds salt to meals after they are cooked, but I trust the chef's decision. I was expecting the bill to land somewhere around $250-$300+, but we were pleasantly surprised when it came out to about $200, not bad at all considering the occasion and place. Definitely worth trying if you're celebrating something special. I imagine the experience would be even better in the summer. read more

Hyeholde for my anniversary!! Did some research and saw it was voted most romantic and that it was. The hostess recommended to sit outside and it felt like we were in an enchanted movie scene or storybook. We were fans of everything we ordered (not pictured : Sherry Bisque and their white wine blend). The cheese plate was heavenly. The olives could've used some more flavor and would've liked to see more seafood in the tagliatelle, but nonetheless, amazing experience with a quick history lesson on the way out. Perfect place for a perfect night! read more

Super expensive but excellent. Definitely fine dining. We loved everything about the entire meal and the intire experience. We asked for water when we sat down and they asked if we wanted sparkling or still and we said still is fine and they brought us out bottles of water and charged us $10. I asked for regular tap because when you're spending $300 on a meal you obviously don't want to add to the tab with something as ridiculous as bottled water when water is FREE at most restaurants. Thought that to be irritating and it did put a damper on the experience but whatever. The food itself was great. We had the cassoulet, both of the different kinds of oysters plus oyster rockefeller, the elk strip loin, the trout, the creme brulee, and a couple of cocktails/champagne The space is beautiful. I found the service a bit pretentious and stuck up. It was definitely a 3.5-4 star experience. We would still go back and give them another chance read more

Amazing castle location for fine dining atmosphere and service. The sherry soup, lamb and short rib were phenomenal. Snores dessert was worth every calorie! Highly recommend! read more
An outstanding meal and experience. There are quite a few very good restaurants in the Pittsburgh area and Hyeholde is among the best. The building is unique and very comfortable. The cocktails are creative. The food is thoughtful and delicious. The Chestnut Pasta was particularly rich and enjoyable. The service is attentive. Everything is served quickly after being ordered, resulting in a shorter stay than you might expect. Visit the downstairs walkway to see an interesting history of the building and restaurant. read more

The food and service were top notch! The ambiance was cozy on a fall evening. We had the charcuterie board with the meats and they were delicious. We also ordered the Sherry Bisque and I could've eaten ten more bowls of that it was so good!! I ordered the Delmonico with the potatoes and broccolini. The steak was perfectly cooked and the potatoes were amazing. I want to learn how to make them. My husband tried the Elk and loved it. We ordered the crème brûlée and the Apple Melba toast. Perfect ways to end our meal. read more
I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant! The food was absolutely amazing! This is now one of my favorite restaurants. The food was cooked to perfection. Ribs were savory and slow cooked until they fell off the bone! Sea bass was nice and flakey. The vegetarian feast was amazing! All the different flavors from the veggies matched wonderfully. Cocktails were divine! All the employees were attentive, knowledgeable, polite and had great recommendations. They knew the extensive history of the building. Ambiance was old timed, romantic, and over all interesting! The restaurant still has original and one of a mind pieces from when the restaurant first opened up! Overall i highly recommend this restaurant. Will be going back here! And save room for dessert! Pistachio was to die for! read more

Wow wow wow. Literally all I can say!! We've been wanting to book the chef's table for a while and was finally able to get reservations. From the start when you step in the restaurant all the staff are so kind. They brought us back to the kitchen where our table was perfectly set, in the back of the kitchen overlooking all the chefs. The Chef's Table consists of a curated menu made with fresh, local and seasonal ingredients. Each dish was perfectly balanced and full of flavor. Some of my favorites were the grilled mushrooms, smoked trout rillette and the venison strip loin. It was such a cool experience to be sitting right in the kitchen watching all the action. Their cocktails were also delicious, expertly made and complimented the meal perfectly. The Chef's Table is definitely a splurge but so so so worth it! read more

AMAZING!!! This is my first time at this establishment. The staff are very welcoming. This is my first time at the Hyeholde, my first impression is extreme positive. A quick note, parking is only valet, so be prepared. FOOD: The menu seems to be seasonal, which is a very good sign. I ordered the truffle beet salad. The salad had a well balanced between the truffle and the salad. I also had the foie gras terrine, delicious: very well prepared. I also had the Trout. The skin crispy and the flesh tender and flakey...amazing. Wine and cocktail selection is good. I had the "Fig of Wrath" delicious! I also ordered a glass bottle Dr, Loosen Riesling which paired very well with the trout. For desert I had the toffee bread pudding and espresso. The espresso was well balanced, not too bitter. The pudding was delicious. Not to overly sweet and not to bready, again delicious. One of the best restaurants I have been to! The interior reminds me of an English pub. The ambience fit most any occasion. Very Romantic and professional. Definitely a must when I'm in the Pittsburgh area! read more

Everything was absolutely delicious. The braised short rib melts in your mouth and the sherry bisque is out of this world. I could not get over the local cheese plate with cheeses from Goat Rodeo or the house made vanilla ice cream. Our server, Holly, was lovely and knowledgeable. She never rushed us and really took her time explaining the specials and each dish that she brought out to us. I loved the castle-feeling of the space and the gorgeous decor which led to a cozy atmosphere. We cannot wait to come back! read more

A Pittsburgh area tradition for special occasions and special events. A wonderful staff that gives you first class service. As a wedding venue, the Hyeholde ranks at the top. There are garden spaces outside and whimsical architectural features inside that create a memorable and festive event. read more

I got the elk and it was very good but for the price point I would have expected impecable service. 2 people from our group got the cod pasta (special for the night) each of them took a bite and it was inedible. It was obvious no one ate it but said it was fine cause we didn't want to make a fuss (as a past server I would've figured out what was wrong) seriously think the cod had gone bad. Got a dirty martini came out clear the server said she misheard me, paid $20 to throw a glass of olive juice in it myself. We were celebrating 3/9 people's birthdays in our group. Some people got desserts but none of the birthday people did due to being full and the cod pasta issue. Instead of bringing any type of dessert they brought empty plates with a lit candle. I've worked at upscale restaurants with cheaper price points than this and could never imagine insulting someone with a lit candle on an empty plate like this. Overall, I tried it and will not be going back absolutely not worth it for the price point and the service is sub par. read more
