Dessert
Lizeth S.

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.

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 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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Elk Striploin
Pato I.

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.

Local Cheese Plate
Mariah M.

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!

Ron C.

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!

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

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.

12 oz Prime Beef Delmonico with Mille-Feuille Potatoes and broccolini

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.

Had a ceramics class with Liana. I had a great time and made cute pieces…read more Update: when I was finally able to pick up my items after two months, none of them were done right. I'm not going to take the time to enumerate everything that is wrong, but I was told that the pictured piece fell off in the kiln. If that were true, there wouldn't be glaze on the surfaces that need to be re-joined. This cannot even be fixed. So in addition to doing careless work with the glaze, they were untruthful about what happened. This was a frankly a terrible experience.

Said we wanted to pickup our pieces whether they were finished or not and would finish the pieces elsewhere. The day we were coming, they called to say it was ready. One piece was glazed only halfway and in the wrong color. The other was over glazed enough so the relief is gone and they dripped another glaze on it and you can see the finger mark where they attempted to wipe it off. When we called about a refund, we were quite frustrated and were told that we needed a discussion with the instructor to figure out if they had done anything wrong. Could not be more disappointed. Will never return. Would recommend trying somewhere else if someone is considering going here.

My husband and I got married at the Cornerstone on November 3rd. Leading up to our wedding day,…read morethere were hiccups, but normal ones in my opinion. Don't get me wrong. We enjoyed our day with family and friends. But there were too many issues that couldn't be ignored. I feel we were let down by both Ashley and Michelle at the Cornerstone. The "Groom's Drink" was supposed to be Crown Royal and Diet Coke. I had my drink, a peach sangria, available for everyone. However Crown wasn't being served to guests, even though we paid for the "upgrade" to have Crown Royal available for the groom's drink. Guests were turned down at the bar. In fact, my husband observed only one bottle of Crown being available at the bar all night long. I have the actual writing of the list and it says next to it "for everyone". That apparently wasn't the case, and several of our guests were disappointed by this. Instead of a traditional wedding cake being served, I wanted cupcakes. We specifically asked for four different kinds--chocolate Oreo, vanilla, peanut butter, and red velvet. Only chocolate Oreo and vanilla were displayed and offered at the wedding. The cupcakes were not served to the guests or replenished at any point. We were supposed to have a two-tier cake to cut, but that was nowhere to be found, nor was a knife available. We were promised both. The beer choices that we chose were Bud Light, Yuengling, and Red's Apple. What we got were Miller Lite, Yuengling, and Reds. And they ran out of it all. We did a buffet style dinner. Many people told me they had a choice of meat, but the portions were small. In fact, at the head table, we were never served our beef tips. It got to the point where the menu was changed from a vegetable medley to just corn on the cob, or from cut potatoes to mashed potatoes. Multiple guests did not get everything BECAUSE THEY RAN OUT OF FOOD! That to me is impossible to imagine because guests were not taking as many items as they wanted. It was being served to them. We were told that they cooked for 200 people. We ended up having 180. The excuse? Too many guests were loading up on the carbs?? Are you kidding me? How can that be when it was being served to them in the line?! We had to even order out for pizza afterwards in the bar because their bar kitchen closed. We told them far enough in advance to be prepared. We filled that bar that night gave them hundreds of dollars of business after the event too, and yet they couldn't deliver. My mom made an agreement with Michelle, the owner, that she was to take my husband and I to the hotel after the event because my mom did not want me in an Uber or Lyft in my dress. At the end of the night, Ashley, the bar manager, said Michelle left and that she was going to call me and Uber/Lyft. I didn't want that and said no I'll just ride with family, not knowing until the next day the agreement with my mom and Michelle. Well we went back the next day to collect the rest of our things and to address these concerns. When all of these things were addressed the next day with Ashley, it was excuse after excuse and blame was placed on other things. Instead of apologizing, we were met with arguments. It almost came off that it was our fault the food ran out. My mom asked multiple times for the owner Michelle to call her and to this day it has not happened. I'm just incredibly disappointed with the Cornerstone. I can speak for my husband and my family that we were promised SO MUCH and that simply wasn't the case on the day of the wedding. I feel we spent a lot of money on our wedding and DID NOT get our money worth. In fact, we're not entirely sure where our money went. With food running out, alcohol out, what exactly did our money get spent on? How could they be so underprepared for this event? Unfortunately for the Cornerstone at The Pub at the Tonidale, we, along with 180+ people, will not be recommending them.

Also the complimets we heard is about the staff and we agree. The staff was not only quick and efficient, you had no idea that they were there. "how was my water glass never empty" was a comment we heard often. The space is also just beautiful and helped make our difficult day that much easier and memorable.

After dinner, you can spend the rest of the evening partying the ballroom. They offer all the services, (or can recommend) you need when planning a wedding. For us and our guests, it was super convenient and easier to have everything for the wedding in one beautiful setting. The food, the hor's d'oeuvres, and entrees was amazing. There's also a huge bar attended by professional bartenders. The food servers were friendly, professional and very attentive. We received so many compliments from our guests on both the food and service. Many said that was the best food they ever had at a wedding!
