My buddy's buddy brought us here for a late dinner after a long day at Picklesburgh. I got pickled hard, so I was in the mood for the Buffalo chicken Mac and cheese. Despite the suspiciously affordable prices, my expectations were blown by the quality of the yellow and orange pile in front of me. My hand didn't even get a chance to reach for the phone to take a picture, because I inhaled this dish in about 17 seconds. The experience made me forget about the acid-flavored water that Allegheny County never seems to get right. I also decided to not test my luck on the fake casino machines. The ambience was dark and smelled like non-craft beer. I'll be back once I land a job that grants me access to endless Pittsburgh pickles and picklehol.

What a disappointment. I went here on a Friday to try out the fish sandwich. It's no longer on the…read moremenu. In fact I'm told by the bartender that The Coalmine in nearby Castle Shannon now has the original Bobby's fish sandwich recipe. The menu is very limited bar food. Burgers, dogs, wings, fries. I ordered a chilli cheese dog and buffalo wings. The dog was so boring - canned chili and fake cheese. The wings took forever 40+ min and seemed like they were boiled or baked rather than fried. The skin was soggy, not crispy like you'd expect. I can't recommend the food but the service was nice and the big TVs made for good game watching.

And with portion sizes this big at these prices, I'd be emotionally cuffed to this place too. We took a booth for two, my companion requesting a coffee (that was promptly topped off) and water (with ice and a straw in a mason cup) for myself, we took time looking over the menu, struggling to narrow things down. You have plenty choice of customizations, which I banked on when ordering my 3 egg omelet. I skipped the meat and cheese and went straight for veggie loading. This thing was jacked up with an impressive mount of salty black olives (no additional seasoning needed), caramel tinged onions and large slices of cooked mushroom. It was buttery without being drenched in the flavor, letting the ample egg fill my belly. I couldnt even manage to poke at my 3 extra large pierogies or my double slices of marbled rye with a butter sheen, which made it into a to go box. My companion got the pecan banana French toast. It came with decently sized bacon, in that sweet spot of crispy. The sweet level of the star itself was pleasureful without being cavity inducing. The thick bread wasn't overly eggy, rather buttery, layered with slices of banana between and on top. The caramel sauce had the right viscosity and quantity, holding the nuts. It was topped with whipped cream, a really solid showing. She tapped out about halfway through, also taking a to go box because this place does not play around (yet somehow manages to come off as playful all the same.) The leftovers will carry us the rest of the way on our long journey back home where we will mourn our lack of The Crack'd Egg, who are entirely what they are cracked up to be.

My filet was just about excellent once I scraped the highly seasoned butter aside. Even that didn't allow the taste I expected and wanted to remain. The accompanying vegetables suffered as well. The plating was beautiful but taste drives the final experience and Altius failed save for the elegant S'Mores dessert. It is time to make some changes to the menu. Purple mashed potatoes and carrots have shared the filet plate far too long. The entrees repeat forever. We have dined here yearly since they opened and the menu needs tweaked to remain as Pittsburgh's finest whereas the service and view are always five star.

Our server greeted us with complimentary sparkling wine as soon as we were seated, which was such a nice touch. It really added to the experience, IMO. And whoever chooses the music has good taste. We enjoyed some creative cocktails, and then instead of an entree, I did a couple tapas - specifically, the deviled eggs and prosciutto-wrapped melon. The small bites were the perfect amount of food for me, and the flavors were absolutely divine. My sis and bro-in-law got proper entrees - I think she had duck and he had pierogies, maybe, but it doesn't matter because I think the menu changes often and they devoured everything, so there were no leftovers and I didn't get to try anything. We split a cheese plate for dessert because we're people who eat cheese for dessert and the cheese selections were fantastic. No notes. I'll insist on another dinner here next time I'm in town. It's worth the trip, even all the way from Seattle!

My husband and I went for a date night in downtown PGH and it did not disappoint! It's the sister restaurant to Meat & Potatoes and while they have similar aesthetics, the menus are very different! We started with the steak tartare (might be called beef tartare on the menu, I can't remember) but it came with this FABULOUS French onion dip and a thinly sliced potato nest. The way our waiter described it was a "deconstructed" tartare and that really is the only way to say it because it comes out on 3 separate plates. One of the best tartares I've had in awhile!! The burrata was seasonal, with roasted butternut squash and chili oil...yum!! The only thing not pictured that was ordered was the focaccia and my husband claimed it to be the best he's ever had :-) The star of the show was the roasted pork collar, which they were gracious enough to split in half for my husband and I, as we typically like to eat "tapa" style and try a little bit of everything. It was absolutely fantastic and I am practically drooling writing this review. My only push back is that they require a card on file, at $50 a person for cancellation which feels very steep, considering when we went on a Saturday night and it wasn't very busy. However, would highly recommend :-) I wish I could remember our waiters name but he was wonderful and explained everything thoroughly.
