Monday is wing night and I personally think it's the best wing joint in PGH. Last night I got the buffalo parm and pizza pepperoni wings. The service is Cheryl, who remembers just about everyone in the place. She's always a good time and makes you feel welcome. It's definitely worth the experience-- all the food is good, not just the wings!

They offered me to sit at the bar and took the chance cause the food looked really good and it really was! But I'll say this that the wait time was very long but worth the wait but I let it slide cause the World Cup was going on at the moment. Initially I wanted to sit outside on the patio but that was full as well but the atmosphere was genuine. Props to the workers because I got to see the bartenders do a lot more than just serve drinks. It's been 2 months since then and I've been thinking of making the 8 hour trip (one way) just to go back and had whatever pasta and pastries I had that day. Thanks from East TN

Pittsburgh keeps showing us that this city hosts some of the greatest food spots, and Shay and…read moreBaeee's just got added to the list! Upon entering, I greeted with a friendly smile and a warm welcome from one of the owners, Shay. They have very extensive menu and had a nice variety of food available. There are two benches available to sit down on and wait for you order; however, this is purely a to-go spot, so there were not any dining tables. The prices are consistent with similar restaurants in the city, plus the portions are huge, so no complaints there. Now let's talk food! First, let me say they had some of meatiest, juiciest, lamb chops I've had from a restaurant in a while. Cooked to order, tempature of choice, and flavored sooooo well. Let's get into these candied yams y'all. Bravo to the chef, he made them perfect! Sweet and soft through every bite, and not one ounce of bitterness or crunchiness. We came at the end of night so we missed the Mac and cheese, but I will make sure to come early next time. If you are looking for a place with a little soul and seafood, check them out. You will not regret it!!!

It was pricier but we had fish left over and we shared. I absolutely was full. Stuffed. I would definitely recommend. My husband would too but I'd give it a 4.5 and he'd give it a 3.5

It reminded this San Franciscan so much of Fisherman's Wharf and the teeming masses that course through packed sidewalks. Looking for lunch turned out to be a huge undertaking because queues were endless. Except here. It made me wonder if I wasn't aware of some known deficiency in their seafood. It's a two-part business, a fresh fish market on one side and a dining room and sushi bar on the other. The menu was initially overwhelming because food items were meticulously listed on several chalkboards arranged around the order space. There were lots of sushi options, but I wasn't in the mood and went for the $12 Fish Tacos, two of them with a combination of tuna, salmon, and swordfish encased in soft corn tortillas with tomato and cabbage (Photo 8). Tasty, quite fresh, and just enough as I sat in the relative quiet of the dining room. Peace in the Strip.

Our first time here and our expectations were exceeded. We knew it was a top tier restaurant but it…read moretruly excelled in every way. Service, food, drinks, atmosphere were all top notch. Our server was excellent and the auxiliary staff were courteous and efficient. We started with a calamari appetizer which was a little spicy but delicious. Beware of the two Thai chilies in the mix! Next my husband had the lobster bisque. It was quite rich with a large chunk of lobster as a garnish. Our main courses were a 10 ounce filet, wild caught shrimp stuffed with crabmeat and Chilean sea bass. Everyone loved their entrees. Our son especially loved the filet, it was so tender. We ordered two side dishes for the table and they were plenty for the three of us. Decadent lobster mashed potatoes and crabmeat fried rice. We shared a dessert, creme brûlée which was topped with fresh berries and served with chewy cocoa snowflake cookies. Overall the food was excellent. Service started out a little rocky. I had made a reservation online and it would only let me choose a high top. We don't like high tops so I called the restaurant a few days before and they assured me they could accommodate us with a regular table, not to worry. Upon entering and giving my name for the reservation, the Maitre D'être said it's for a high top. I explained that I'd called and we didn't want a high top. He said he could only offer us a booth in the lounge, so we took it. The lounge had a jazz trio playing and the music was a bit too loud for comfortable conversation. The server had to talk above the music to be heard by us. Luckily they took a break and when they came back the volume was lower. As we were leaving I noticed there was a whole dining room with empty tables which were NOT high tops. So why did they seat us in the lounge? Our drink orders were pretty simple, however because they serve the cocktails from the shaker, the server mixed up the dinks and poured my husband's margarita into my 'dirty' martini glass. So I had a three blue cheese olive margarita! A margarita-tini! He realized what he did, apologized and ran off to get another margarita for my husband. I had eaten the olives and tasted the margarita, which was very good. When he returned, he asked if I still wanted the martini and I laughed and said, yes, that what I ordered. So my husband got the benefit of two Margaritas for the price of one and I got three extra blue cheese olives! That was the only goof up. The rest of the meal was flawlessly served. I felt that even though the prices are high, the portion size and the quality of the food provide a good value. You expect to pay more in a place like this. It was well worth it in my opinion. And if you are there during Happy Hour you can choose cocktails and appetizers from the Happy Hour menu which is quite reasonable.

My food was so good that I forgot to snap photos before I started munching. I ordered the lobster roll and Cajun ahi tuna bites. The lobster was fresh and well seasoned, and the buttery roll was simply delicious; they didn't overcomplicate it. The ahi tuna bites were seared just right and packed a spicy punch that paired perfectly with the chipotle sauce. Prices are a little higher than you might expect for a casual spot, but nothing unreasonable for seafood. I'll definitely be back soon!

Seems to get pretty busy on the weekdays. An enormous spider came down from the ceiling in the middle of my meal and about gave me a heart attack, I was freaked out for the rest of my meal after that. Not their fault but also saw several cobwebs in the bathroom. Eek.

Our server was on top of it and she looked like she had a good number of tables both in and outside. The food was good all around. The lobster roll used to have all chunks of lobster in it and it is now mostly shredded, which I feel changes the flavor, but it was still tasty. One thing to note, if you have a party of 8 or more, they only give one check. We should've asked before we sat down, but it was not a big deal. Just so others know ahead of time.

This is a challenging review. I haven't been to Gaucho in a while. The last time we visited was in…read morethe downtown location and it was really very good--reminiscent of the Strip location, but a little fancier and with more room to sit. If I hadn't been here before, I would probably rate my Gaucho experience four stars, but this spot (I hate when people say this, and I hate when I sound like those people!) just isn't what it used to be. Dammit. I went there. I had my favorite sandwich--the braised beef. It used to have a really nice, pronounced rosemary flavor. Not so much anymore. And it used to come on a really beautiful slab (not an overstatement) of Gaucho's delicious focaccia. Now it's on an ordinary roll that doesn't stand up to that slow cooked, beef. The beef was still good and tender and flavorful, and the portion is still generous, but the sandwich overall isn't the knockout it once was. It wasn't a bad sandwich. It was a good sandwich. But it wasn't the sandwich I went for. My husband's carne sandwich was on the same ho-hum roll. (Bring back the focaccia as sandwich vehicle, guys!) The beef was flavorful with that nice Gaucho char, but it was a little chewy and hard to eat. Like my sandwich, the bread was the crime here. It was a decent sandwich, but a shadow of its former self. The potatoes...the travesty of the table were the greasy, small, overly charred flimsy potatoes. Maybe you'll remember the roasted papas from the old Gaucho days: chunky, crispy on the outside, toasty and roasty, served up in a wooden bowl. These were definitely not that. (Also, does anyone remember that old-time Strip District Gaucho bowl of corn? The best best best.) The service was very fast and very friendly. The gentleman who brought our food brought us a complimentary dish of all four chimmis--which was so nice, and they are exactly the same as they've always been and absolutely delicious. (Pimenton will always win first place for me. Slather it on a piece of cardboard and I might eat it.) Overall, our meal was fine, but I'm sad to know that Gaucho at its best is in our rear view.
