    Porcini & Truffle Ravioli
    Renee M.

    Our appetizers were truly the star of the show - we had the Brussels and the pretzel bites, 10/10! Our entrees fell a little flat.. I had the steak tips "medium rare" and for a $13 up charge, it wasn't worth it. They were dry, charred and just not appetizing. The ravioli themselves were delicious in a sweet cream sauce. The crème brûlée was good but we were there at kitchen close and you could tell it was rushed, as the sugar was barely toasted. Overall an ok experience, but not sure we'd go back.

    Chocolate martini
    Jennifer M.

    We loved this place! Party of 5 and we ordered Nashville hot chicken, Crab cakes, Pretzel bites, a chocolate martini and a few other things. It was all fantastic! Service was great too. Very comfortable and casual, but very nice atmosphere.

    Brussels sprouts and crab cake
    Kristen E.

    We really appreciated that we were able have normal-volume conversations while eating a delicious meal with (muted) TVs and quiet music overheaded. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich, smash burger, fries, and steak flatbread were all appreciated. The crab cake wasn't life changing, but the roasted Brussels sprouts were pretty good. We parked in the Hilton garage next door and didn't try any alcoholic drinks.

    Pasta aglio e olio with grilled chicken and Texas toast
    Michael B.

    After walking by this place dozens of times, I decided to come here for lunch on a Thursday. My lunch was the aglio e olio pasta with grilled chicken. The pasta had nice that nice rich olive-oil flavor with just enough heat to it. (I probably would have used an angel hair or other thinner pasta than the thick spaghetti noodles, but it wasn't bad.) The chicken that came with it was ok, just wish it had had more flavor or seasoning with it. The garlic toast that came with it was very nice. The lady serving (I seated at the bar) that day was pleasant and attentive. Great restaurant and would be happy to come back and try some other items.

    Meat frittata
    Greg S.

    Excellent hangout for breakfast located right downtown by the Market Square. The interior is big and modern, super clean and cool with high ceilings and big windows for light. Our server was exceptional throughout the meal, and super friendly. One of us ordered the meat frittata and the other french toast. It was all good.

    Salmon BLT (it comes open faced)
    Jayme B.

    I organized a work lunch at Revel for a group of 15. I worked with Abbey and she was absolutely fantastic! Our actual lunch was great! When we arrived, Revel was not busy at all and they had a little section of the restaurant closed off for us to all sit together. It was a mixture of booths and tables which was fine. We started off by ordering a few portions of the crispy brussel sprouts. They have shaved Parmesan, salt, pepper, and a balsamic drizzle. They were absolutely addicting! For my lunch, I ordered the salmon BLT which came with fries. The portion size was perfect for lunch. The only reason I knocked off a star is because they were out of some ingredients that were needed to make some of the dishes our group wanted to order. So they had to order alternate options. Other than that, we had a great experience overall with the restaurant itself, the staff, and the food.

    Short Rib Quesadilla
    Adam A.

    Stopped in for a quick dinner after a late night in the office. Great location just off of market square. I had a beer and the short rib quesadilla (which is an app but I had it as my meal). Both were fantastic. Vibe is upscale and modern but the prices are reasonable. Service was quick and friendly. Will definitely add this to my regular drop in rotation.

    Fish n chips
    Ulyana K.

    I know this is a new place, so I didn't expect the food to be standout. But, I was actually quite pleasantly surprised. The food really was quite great. Much better, in my opinion, than the restaurant that used to be here (Walnut Grill). I had the fish and chips with ranch and the brownie works for dessert. The fish and chips was really good. The fish was crispy and still moist on the inside. Good amount of breading. A little soggy in a few spots but could have been delivery. Seasoning was okay. It also came with fries, which were a generous portion and good in their own right, and coleslaw which was just okay (not too flavorful and a tiny portion). But the fish n chips itself was a great portion. Ranch was also good. The brownie works dessert was a nice way to end the meal. Also a great portion, very chocolatey throughout with some nice slabs of chocolate. Wish there was a little more whipped cream to balance it. All in all, really quite impressed with this place. Excited to see how they do in the future!

    Shrimp and Grits

    Our go-to big group brunch spot strikes again! We love bringing friends to Revel when they visit because they can always accommodate a big group & serve great food at really affordable prices. This visit, I decided to try their breakfast sandwich. While it doesn't sound like anything fancy, it was delicious! The egg was runny, the Gruyère was melty, and the peppercorn aioli was really flavorful. I also am a huge fan of breakfast potatoes, and these were top notch. In addition to food, the mimosa carafes are a great deal for a big group & the servers are on top of keeping them filled. The location right off Market Square makes it a great spot to start your day & then explore the area. Definitely check it out! Food: A- Drinks: A- Service: A- Ambiance: B+

    Brunch menu
    Karen H.

    I came here for a friend's birthday brunch on Sunday afternoon at 1pm. My friend had made reservations beforehand for 10 people. I got there a few minutes before 1pm and waited for several minutes for someone to come to the host stand. It took so long that I finally went into the restaurant and inquired about the host and was told that they would be out in a few minutes. When the host finally appeared, they told us that they had to go prepare our table so we waited a few more minutes. We finally were seated and the rest of the party trickled in. It took quite some time to take our food orders and I had to prompt the staff to do so. It also took quite some time for the food to come out and for the staff to come with our checks and that was with several members of the party inquiring about it. Thankfully they had a QR code on the receipt so I could pay my bill online immediately. Other members of the party opted to pay with their physical cards which they later regretted because it took so long to get them back. I got there a few minutes before 1pm and didn't leave until a couple of minutes past 3pm. Most of the party ordered one dish and one drink so I was confused why it took so long for everything. I will also note that the restaurant was never packed and towards the end of our visit the only other people there were two other small parties in the fairly large space. The food itself seemed to be fine overall. I got the brisket Benedict with breakfast potatoes. The breakfast potatoes were very good with good flavor. The brisket was bland and I couldn't finish it even though I hate wasting food. I tried my friend's chicken from her chicken and waffles and the chicken was juicy with a crispy outside. The space itself is fairly large and lends itself to large parties. The restaurant is also located steps away from Market Square. Another positive is that they were able to do separate checks for our party which was very convenient. Overall, while the staff was friendly enough, it took longer than it should have for our visit so I wouldn't go if you have to be somewhere else on time.

    Came here for just a drink and an app. They have a decent size bar, I wish it was a tad bigger as I could imagine it fills up at night. The bartenders were all nice and attentive. They have a nice happy hour menu that even includes weekends which is hard to find! The Brussel sprouts were plentiful and had all the right flavors! During October they have a cocktail of the day and it's all pumpkin themed. I want to come back to try more! I ate here years ago and remember it being good so I will have to come back for dinner soon!

    Creation , bourbon espresso martini

    Definitely recommend. Good food and great service. Our server was terrific , creates unique and incredible drinks, and as a bonus looks like the lead singer of Led Zeppelin

Better signage for stairwells in case of either a need for emergency exit or a desire to "get more steps in" would be useful. Jordan & Deb deserve special kudos for excellent customer service.

When we pulled up to the hotel, we parked in an area that the front desk later confirmed was not valet parking and that we were fully permitted to use. Despite this, a man wearing a plain black shirt with no name tag, hotel logo, or other identification immediately approached us and aggressively demanded, "You need to give me your keys now." He never introduced himself, never identified himself as a hotel employee or valet attendant, and never welcomed us to the hotel. Instead, he immediately became confrontational. When I explained that I was not comfortable handing my vehicle keys to an unidentified stranger, he escalated the situation by repeatedly yelling, "Bro, bro, you're not going to disrespect me." We attempted to walk away and continue with check-in, but the harassment did not stop. After checking in, we returned outside to unload our luggage, and he immediately confronted us again. This time, he threatened that if I did not hand over my keys, "there would be consequences." No guest should ever be threatened simply for asking reasonable questions or wanting to verify the identity of someone requesting possession of their vehicle. The front desk staff later confirmed that we had parked in the correct location and acknowledged that this employee's behavior was inappropriate. While I appreciated their honesty, that did not change what had already occurred or the fact that the individual continued to work the front entrance. Unfortunately, the situation only worsened throughout the remainder of our stay. Every time we entered or exited the hotel, this valet employee continued making comments about my group to his coworkers. He would smirk, laugh, and make remarks within earshot of us, often in front of the front desk staff. Rather than feeling welcomed as paying guests, we felt uncomfortable and uneasy every time we walked through the lobby. The hostility that began upon our arrival never truly ended. As an IHG One Rewards Diamond Elite member who spends more than 200 nights each year almost exclusively at IHG properties, I have always chosen IHG because of the professionalism, hospitality, and consistency I have experienced across its brands. Unfortunately, this stay was unlike anything I have ever encountered. In all my years of traveling, I have never felt so disrespected, singled out, isolated, or unwelcome at a hotel. IHG promotes its hotels as places where every guest should feel safe, respected, and valued. That was not my experience at this property. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, I felt that our concerns were dismissed, and the behavior of this employee created an environment where we no longer felt comfortable. This was, without question, the worst hotel experience I have ever had. It has caused me to seriously reconsider my loyalty to IHG after spending hundreds of nights each year with the brand. I hope hotel management and IHG Corporate conduct a thorough investigation into this incident, address the conduct of the employee involved, and ensure that no future guest has to experience the same treatment we did.

Sure enough, when they were finally done talking, one came over to our table....no smile and a big audible sigh. She asked what we wanted to drink, we gave our order and she returned with our beverages. After another 10 minute wait she came back to take our order. When asked about a certain dish, came another big sigh, eye roll and and a rote description of said dish. The food arrived and one of the orders was wrong. Another wait to get her attention. We asked for the item to be redone as we had ordered it. And she even asked how we wanted it! You got it...another eye roll and a big sigh. At least she was well oxygenated! The dish came back with the very same results. On that issue we gave up. Then came the wait for the check. Once again the two servers were chatting, no heads turned to check on their tables. My son went over to get the check. When the check arrived, it was attitude city. She accused us of picking on her because she was only a server. It's obviously how she saw herself. We then asked for the manager who was quick to side with the server. She said that nothing seemed to satisfy us and that we had a problem. IN SHARP CONTRAST. I have been to the Speckled Egg on the South Side many times. From the Host/Hostess to the servers to the bus staff, everyone had a smile, chatted with their customers, laughed and it was always a great experience. The manager came over since he recognized me from being there many times and we chatted for a minute. We are talking Night and Day. Completely two different experiences from server to management styles. To me there is only one Speckled Egg and one complete waste of time (Downtown).

You get a perfect 19th century setting, which makes for the perfect ambiance. For the tea, I had green tea and hot cinnamon, and both were excellent! The cinnamon takes the cake for best tea with excellent flavor, especially with the hints or orange. Our food was delectable. The pimento cheese sandwich and crostini were fantastic. The chicken salad stuffed gouger was divine. The scones were the best I've had. Crunchy on the outside, while warm and fluffy in the middle. I could have eaten ten of the cinnamon scones. Excellent cheesecake and cream puff. The star of the show was chocolate mousse on a pecan crust. Just yum!!! Phenomenal service, tea, and food made for a wonderful afternoon high tea!! We will be back.

    P&G's Pamela's Diner is a small chain that's local to Pittsburgh that my friends loved going to…read morewhile they were students in the city. We stopped by this location of Pamela's and instantly, I felt like I was transported into a retro 50s/60s diner. The multi-colored walls are decorated heavily with old-school board games. There's a veil of grease in the air that screamed the classic diner experience. SAUSAGE & CHEESE OMELETTE + Lyonnaise potatoes (side) + whole wheat bread (toast) The sausage & cheese (we asked for Swiss instead of American) omelette itself wasn't anything worth raving about as it was pretty typical. However, the Lyonnaise potatoes were phenomenal. It's that in between "hash and mash" texture, and it was seasoned incredibly well. The potatoes were definitely the highlight here, and the omelette was good protein, I guess. Definitely forgot about the whole wheat bread. BLUEBERRY HOTCAKES Soft, crepe-like wrap (a bit thicker than crepe but thiner than pancake) wrapped around blueberries and whipped cream. This was not too sweet and quire savory. They're known for their hotcakes at Pamela's and I can see why. I don't remember the individual pricing for each, but both were under $25 total. Definitely great tasting food for a phenomenal price. I highly recommend!

    Great service. Really on top of things opening for a busy morning…read more Pancakes were as advertised - tasty, super thin with crispy edges. They were the highlight of the day. Eggs and toast were good too, straightforward. Meals were served very quickly, which was a great way to start the day.

    Cafe Moulin is without a doubt my absolute breakfast/brunch/lunch place in the area. The food is…read moreexcellent (their avocado toast w/ eggs is so good I practically lick the plate when I'm done) and the atmosphere immaculate (bright and friendly without being kitschy), but the real standout is the staff. I've been a regular there since I moved in nearby, and from the start it was obvious that the people who work there sincerely care about making the experience nice. I've always been greeted with a smile, even during hectic weekend hours when the whole place is packed with a line out the door-- and even on the most full-house days, I've never been made to feel rushed. More than that, I always get the same thing there (I'm just a creature of habit-- every bite I've ever stolen from a friend's plate has also been delectable). The staff have picked up on this and will offer to get me "my usual" when I visit; it makes me feel valued and noticed, and they'll often use the time I would've spent ordering making conversation, asking about my day or the book I'm reading. I've never been to a place with such genuinely friendly staff, and I feel so lucky to live so close! Summed up: I never leave Cafe Moulin without a full stomach and a smile.

    I'm conflicted about this review…read more Came in alone and sat at counter. A waitress was really hostile and aggressive to me early on . It was uncomfortable enough that I would have left , had my food not just arrived. The owner was around and seemed nice. This would have been a great experience were it not for the waitress being so unprofessional. If she'd apologized all would have been fine. Everyone has bad days or comes on too strong sometimes. The shakshouka was excellent though. I wish that I'd been more able to enjoy it, rather than leave feeling bad about myself.
