From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a complimentary glass of brut, which immediately sets the tone. I ordered the Vesuvius Spritz and absolutely loved the flavor profile. It was refreshing, well balanced, and beautifully presented. I also appreciated the metal straw, such a small detail but it elevated the experience. The ambiance is cozy and eclectic, making it the perfect spot to settle in for the evening. The bartender is incredibly talented, truly like a wizard behind the bar. Every drink that came out looked stunning and tasted even better. We ordered the demi baguette, French onion soup, and the braised lentils with a side of buttery chive whipped potatoes. Everything was delicious, just as I've come to expect here. My only wish is that the portions were slightly larger because it's so good you don't want it to end. Already looking forward to coming back. read more

I've been wanting to try Siempre Algo for a while now and finally snagged a Friday night reservation. It's in a really awesome space that feels intimate without being too crowded. You're given a complimentary glass of champagne when they seat you which is such a fun touch. The menu changes daily! The food was outstanding. We had the spinach and artichoke dip, a warm baguette, the wagyu shortrib, the dungeness crab salad, and the vanilla bourbon & sea salt ice cream for dessert. Everything was delicious. 4 stars because the server asked us to leave immediately after we finished (about 1 hour and 45 minutes after we were seated) so the next reservation could have the table-which felt a bit rude. read more

The food was absolutely amazing. My wife and I ordered the Foie Blond, carbonara, beets, mushroom and egg, and the tinga taco for our small plates, and the veal schnitzel and confit duck for our mains. Everything was perfect. They ferment the egg in soy sauce, which gives it such a unique depth of flavor. The duck was the best confit I've had in Pittsburgh, and the schnitzel was incredibly flavorful. I wish I could figure out how to prepare beets like that at home, because it just can't be beet (lol). Truly, every dish was spot on. The atmosphere is beautiful--quiet, warm, and inviting. I honestly don't know how I missed this place for the last seven years, but I'll be frequenting it from now on. The only downside came at the end of the night. Overall, the service had been solid, and the chef even stopped by to explain the egg fermentation process, which was such a thoughtful touch. But after we ordered our last drink--and after we had already tipped--the server began pushing us out. "There's another reservation for your table in 10 minutes," we were told, despite there being more than six empty tables. We had just ordered a dessert to go, and what if we had planned to enjoy it there? It felt abrupt and unnecessary, especially after tipping well over 25%. Even with that experience, I will certainly return. The food is exceptional, and the chances of getting the same server again are slim. I just hope the staff learns not to rush customers paying such high prices, because an otherwise wonderful evening was marred by that moment. This American habit of pushing diners out the door is simply ludicrous. read more

This may very well be the best restaurant in the Burgh... or ever. No seriously, fantastic place. Food was amazing. We tried two 1/4 caviars, (hackleback and white sturgeon), loved both. Sunchokes, wagyu short rib and braised pork. Amazing all around. Service by Allie was top notch....friendly, courteous, prompt and fun. Thank you Allie! We will be back! read more

Wow! Super expensive, odd choices, terrible service, loud, dark, open kitchen - food is overly sauced with sugar! Even the vegetables. The cheese cake is dry. I would really only give one star but they at least provide free sparkling wine to start. read more

Food is an excellent presentation of very unusual and rare ingredients. Servers are knowledgeable and efficient

Siempre Algo was fabulous -- we booked it based on all of the wonderful reviews here and we're not disappointed. I live in Chicago & my parents are in DC, so we have pretty high standards for "fancy" dining and this hit the mark. We started with the cheese plate & the baguette (we did try the GF focaccia and it was not our jam but I think that's because none of us are gluten free so we were not expecting the texture) which paired super well, and the cheeses were particularly flavorful. Highly recommend. For my main, I had the Wagyu Short Rib and it was phenomenal, melted in your mouth and came with the perfect pairing of sides. The star of the show however was the dessert, which was the Chocolate & PB and actually brought tears to my eyes. The ice cream was thick and was easily the best peanut butter ice cream I've ever had -- add that to the thick, decadent chocolate cake and it was a heaven sent bite! The restaurant is cozy and welcoming, with just few tables and a solid sized bar area. We sat at the high table at front and the only critique I had is there could be a blind put at the top of the window to cover the super bright outside awning light. Our waitress was fabulous. She checked in on us often, answered all of our questions and made great recommendations. Absolute pleasure of an experience all around! read more

Siempre Algo - Wagyu Short Rib - New American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Oh my goodness -- 10 stars out of 5!!!! This place is fantastic. I'll take you through each course, but the free bubbles to start while we perused the menu was a lovely surprise. The baguette was warm, perfectly salty and right out of the oven. The hummus... oh my! Best I've had! So creamy, rich, and flavorful. We ordered the brassica, and this wins for the most eclectic dish of the night! Great broccoli and cauliflower florets, pepper jelly, whipped ricotta, Swiss chard (I think) and raisins. Goodness was this good. For my entree I got the duck. Best duck I've ever had. Period. Crispy skin, fork tender, incredible flavor. There was a fantastic puree, hearty mushrooms. Man, I wish I got 2 orders. It was soooo good. My wife got the gnocchi, and she raved about it! The bites I had were excellent. The beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and her gnocchi were perfect. Crisp on the outside, fluffy in the middle. We brought our baby daughter with us, and she was getting restless. So we started to rush so we didn't disturb other folks' meal. The chef noticed this and gave us dessert to go...on the house. We were utterly touched by this act of kindness, and the service was fantastic throughout our meal. The cheesecake, by the way, was superb! I love basque cheesecake. Get this if it's on the menu!!! We can't wait to come back, as this restaurant is now one of our favorites. Truly a remarkably good experience!!! Thank you for a wonderful evening, Siempre Algo! read more

Siempre Algo, you had me at hello. Seriously--bubbles upon being seated? A whoooole vibe. We rolled in for a girls' dinner and left wondering if we could make it a weekly ritual. The menu may be petite, but honey, every single item is a moment. Think curated, flavor-forward, and downright sexy. We kicked things off with cocktails that read like a love letter to creativity: I went bold with the 12 Monkeys (tequila, mezcal, kiwi, serrano... it was giving tropical heat), while Lauren & Cait stayed fresh with the "Oh, Snap"--aka spring in a glass. Shout out to Ang, who got the sharp cheddar bourbon creation, O.G-eez Itz. Bizarre? Yes. Brilliant? Also yes. Gimme 20 parm crisps pls. We demolished the demi-baguette (warm carbs &butter? Always yes), swooned over the steak tartare (saffron mousse and wagyu magic), & the roasted cabbage? Haute cuisine's answer to comfort food. For mains, the wagyu sirloin was melt-in-your-mouth perfection, the pork was smoky-sweet heaven, & that crab trofie? Buttery, herbaceous luxury. Carrot cake? Yes ma'am. Perfect for girls' night, a flirty date, or literally any excuse to celebrate. Siempre Algo = unequivocally #GOUDapproved read more

Grabbed a seat at the bar for a couple small plates and was greeted with a complimentary glass of bubbles(nice touch). Ordered the bluefin tuna crudo and steamed clams. The tuna was extremely fresh and the preparation provided crunch, slight heat, umami, sour with an overall clean finish. The clams were served in a more classic white wine/garlic/herb sauce with the required piece of baguette to sop up that wonderful broth. I'd go back for both. The service was great and the vibe is classy and intimate. Great for date night. And if you're a bourbon/whiskey connoisseur, it's a must stop. Ask for the iPad to look through a very extensive list of bourbons, ryes, Japanese and American whiskey. The menu has many interesting offerings so this is great if you're looking for something unique. Finally, I'm not a huge fan of caviar, but if you are they have 5 different offerings that are served in 1/4, 1/2 or 1 ounce portions. Definitely worth a stop for a special occasion, something uniquely fancy for the 412 or just a cool date night. read more

Siempre Algo checked all the boxes...delicious, creative food, impeccable service, and a beautifully designed restaurant with an open kitchen. Easily one of the best restaurants in Pittsburgh! We ordered two "snacks", four small plates, and a dessert for the two of us. Incredibly fun. Standouts were the tuna crudo, pate, shrimp toast, and the blood orange upside down cake. Coffee was crazy good as well. Wow. The service and attention to detail were impeccable, which is refreshing for Pittsburgh. Things like changing silverware after courses, sequencing the dishes correctly, complementary sparkling wine, etc....honestly, the best service we've had in Pittsburgh. read more

Honestly - more mad than ever that I haven't been here before. I've had it on my list and just never made it. Now I plan to make it ALL.THE.TIME. This is a super intimate spot and I suggest a reservation which one of the girls thankfully made for us. The food was amazing. The cocktails were creative. The service was on point. That sirloin was cooked to perfection and that steak tartare was beautiful. The crab trofie took me right back to cinque terre in Italy. Thank you for letting me relive a favorite food moment! See you soon! read more

Siempre Algo is a restaurant and bar that is currently open in the evenings. Its menu lists foods such as caviar, hummus, roasted cabbage, lobster, lamb, wagyu sirloin, and pistachio cake. Some menu items are gluten-free or vegan. The bar serves many wines, cocktails, beers, and whiskeys. My husband and I ate one dinner here. Our seating hostess and waitress provided timely and polite service. Here are my ratings for what we ate: Welcome bubs - 4.5 stars - This non-alcoholic beverage was complimentary. My husband drank it and liked it. Fronds in Low Places - 4.5 stars - This non-alcoholic beverage looked so pretty with its flower, and it tasted great also. It contained pineapple, ginger, cinnamon, lime, and soda water. Demi-baguette - 5 stars - This bread was freshly baked, and it had a perfectly crispy crust and warm, soft inside. The butter was very flavorful. Stinging nettle soup - 4.5 stars - This creamy soup consisted of stinging nettles (a perennial plant), roasted red pepper panelle (fritter), and pickled red pearl onion. These flavors were new to me, but I really liked them. Wild ivory king salmon - 4.5 stars - Pacific Ivory King salmon was nicely cooked. The meat had a white color and was flaky. It was served with large mussels in cream, caviar, parsley, chive oil, king trumpet and shiitake mushrooms, snap peas, and fennel pollen. Porchetta - 3 stars - Pork tenderloin was wrapped in sausage and pan-roasted. On the side were lima beans, garlic, bacon lardons, demi-glace, and onion crumbs. My husband said that the flavors were good, but he prefers that his pork be less rare and more cooked. Huckleberry creme brulee - 5 stars - This creme brulee had a hardened sugar top. A vanilla custard contained some huckleberries and granola. read more

On a quest to find elevated dining in Pittsburgh, my partner and I decided to make a stop at Siempre Algo. East Ohio street has become known for delicious elevated eats, and Siempre Algo does a great job in contributing to that reputation. We split the latkes and I got scallops. The latke was pretty tasty although a little over fried for my tastes. The scallops were melt in your mouth delicious and I highly recommend when they are back on the menu. Services and ambiance were also both great. Everyone was inviting and warm! read more

This place was such a good choice for our random dinner the other day. The interior is smaller but intimate and warm. Great cocktails, food and service. You are greeted and given welcome bubblies. We ordered a few cocktails all excellent and tastey. We got the duck and the pork belly. The duck was amazing cooked perfectly and all the components to the dish were delicious and an experience. Pork belly was my fav crispy fat just like the duck what more could you ask for. Dessert: all of them sounded so good we took a while to pick something. We had the dark chocolate brownie with butternut squash ice cream. Omg omg so good it wasn't sickening sweet. It was like so balanced. Worth a try and will be coming back to try more dishes read more

Another gem right down the street from our Airbnb. Managed to get a last minute reservation and was glad we did. Service was great and so was the food. Fennel ice cream is not something I would have expected to like but was such a unique flavor for the affogato. Our meals were both great, we shared fish and meat. We would definitely come back. read more

Why have I never had my roasted beets with squash butter!?!? What have I been doing with my life!?!

Siempre Algo is a high end experience from beginning to end. The space is on the smaller side but is cozy. Service is very attentive. I appreciated the welcome bubbles. I was very thankful that the menu was clearly labeled with allergens and many items were gluten free. It is always nice to not have to make concessions for gluten sensitivity. The gluten free focaccia was just as good as the real thing and the latkes had great flavor. The lamb entree was flavorful and a great potion. The earl gray affogato dessert was very unique and memorable. We look forward to returning to try new items - looks like the menu is seasonal. read more

What a hidden gem! In the heart of the Northside, Siempre Algo is nestled on Ohio Street amongst a few other outstanding restaurants BUT Siempre Algo is something special! Each meal starts out with a complimentary Sauvignon Blanc, which is a special and unique touch that foreshadows an amazing meal! Our waiter was super helpful, attentive, and friendly. He engaged in conversation and affirmed our meal choices! Everything on the menu is unique, some being out of my comfort zone but still very accessible if you don't have an adventurous palette! Here's what we tried: [Baba Ganoush]: I've never had this dish, but it won't be my last. It was refreshing and tasty! [Beet Salad]: This salad was unique. It contained sunchokes, which I've never had before! [Quiche]: This quiche was so decadent and flavorful. It was my favorite part of the meal! [Pork Belly]: My husband LOVED his pork belly. It was tender and full of flavor! [Dessert]: I can't remember what our dessert was as it's not on the menu anymore, but it was dense and delicious and perfectly paired with grapefruit! I cannot wait to go back this restaurant. The atmosphere is cozy. The food is exceptional. The service is spot on! You won't regret making a stop here! read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. Small and cozy place - perfect for date night. The staff was great and I got the sense that everyone takes pride in their work. We were welcomed with complimentary champagne and the waitress gave us a run down of the menu. We ordered the tempura shrimp and duo of pate with demi baguette to start followed by the lamb and scallop entrees. The pacing of the food was perfect and everything was described to us as it was placed on the table. Everything tasted as amazing as it looked. Can't wait to visit again! read more

An absolute gem of a restaurant on East Ohio St! I recently visited for the first time for my birthday and could not have asked for a more lovely meal. I'd only previously been inside for drinks and an app at the bar, so I knew that it was cozy and elegant, but full dining experience really blew me away. The complimentary blanc de blanc sparkling wine and little touches (birthday candle in my dessert!) went above and beyond. We ate the tuna tartare, duo of pâté, grilled quail, confit duck leg, pistachio cake with lemon ice cream, and bourbon sea salt ice cream with shortbread. Everything was INCREDIBLY delicious! The drinks were also wonderful and creative, and they complimented our meal beautifully. I cannot wait to return! read more

I walked in and immediately love the quiet and elegant atmosphere. I tried their scallop shrimp risotto, pork chops, tartar, pate. The pork chops were well cooked and tender. But other parts of the chop were a little dry and salty. The risotto was creamy as I expected. The tartar was lean and flavorful. I think the only dish I thought was lacking was the dessert - sponge cake. Definitely wasn't my cup of tea. The service was amazing and the fact that you get to see the professional chefs move to make these amazing dishes- I love it. read more

This place is incredible. My friend and I first split a warm, homemade baguette with butter. It was delightful. I had ordered a salmon, but it came cooked differently than I expected. I decided to eat some of it nonetheless as this was not their fault. When the waitress asked me how I liked my meal, I said it was good out of courtesy, but she could tell it was not my favorite. She decided to allow me to try another dish for free: the lobster quiche. This has to be the most scrumptious quiche I have ever eaten in my life. The eggs were incredibly silky, and it was paired with an arugula salad. I devoured it so quickly that I did not have time for photos! My friend and I finished off our meals strong with a unique, seasonal dessert. We got a brownie dusted with powdered sugar and topped with pepitas. It was served with creme brûlée orange slices and a surprisingly tasty butternut squash ice cream. This is one of my favorite desserts that I have had, and all the unique pairings came wonderfully together. Heads up: this place has a rotating menu, so what you see online might not be up to date in terms of their offerings! Other notes: the service is very attentive, and there is a warm ambiance. Also, they give you each a free glass of champagne upon seating!! 5 stars all around! read more

What an amazing little place in the heart of the Northside business district on East Ohio Street. We were greeted promptly as we walked in. There's a nice, spacious bar to the left and a dining area on the right. All of the servers and bartenders were super friendly and helpful, but Erin (our server) was hands down part of what made our first time here so enjoyable. The way she described the plates to us and recommended menu items, we joked that we wanted one of everything because she was so impressive with her knowledge of the menu. We had the pretzel bites and fondue app, the duck breast and the ribeye, with the hummingbird cake and brownie for dessert and we loved every last bite of each. read more

Well Well Well - the contest for best restaurant in Pittsburgh is heating up. I will have to throw my hat in there. This new menu is amazing. The flavors are mixing from app to desert very well.

Wow, this place exceeded all of my expectations. Came here for date night - it had been a long time since we'd been over to this side of town and my husband booked on a whim. We arrived 20 minutes before our reservation and had a drink at the bar. I ordered The Hells Bells and it was one of the best cocktails I've had in years. The bartender told me it would taste like biting into a fresh red bell pepper - and she was right, very vegetal and refreshing. I also tried the fall punch even though I'm not very into scotch, the flavor was perfect. For food, we tried the steak tartare as an appetizer. The presentation was beautiful and we ate every bite. I also ordered the pork tenderloin and was blown away. The meat was perfectly cooked and I could have eaten a pound of the mushrooms that garnished the meat. My husband ordered the blue crab quiche and enjoyed the subtle crab flavor. Maybe one of my fave restaurants I've been to in years and highly recommend! read more

An underrated gem on East Ohio Street on the North Side, Siempre Algo always delights with its impeccable cocktails, delicious food, and classy vibe. The two of us stopped by on a whim on a Friday evening and while we weren't able to get a table (seat is fairly limited since it's pretty small inside), we were able to get bar seats immediately. Each dish we got was perfectly balanced and flavorful and the cocktails were outstanding. Our service at the bar was very speedy and lovely. The ambiance is more classy and on the upscale side so keep that in mind for your attire. Siempre Algo is always a wonderful time and I can't wait for our next outing there! read more

From the complimentary welcome drink to the polite staff, it's a quiet jaunt with high quality food.

I can't believe I haven't written a review for Siempre Algo yet. I can say, without a doubt, it is my absolute favorite restaurant in the city of Pittsburgh... Maybe of all time? These are big statements to make, but try it for yourself. You'll see what I mean. I'm not joking when I say I feel each dish is a work of art, and tastes just as good as it looks. I've had nearly everything staple item on the menu, but most recently, I went last Friday for a solo dinner at the bar. They greet you with a complementary glass of bubbles! This time I ordered the beef cheek pasta, pretzel, a cake and decaf espresso for dessert. The atmosphere is so romantic, but beyond welcoming. I just literally cannot say enough good things about this place! The owners are also exceptional. You can tell the care they've put into each dish, and the family they've built within the restaurant.

If you are looking for a gluten-free restaurant, I don't see how you could do better than this in the entire city of Pittsburgh. That's not hyperbole either. Not only do they have an extensive gluten-free menu, but they're one of the few places, serving champagne and caviar around town. I sampled five different drinks and love them all..,this place is incredible. read more

The service really does deserve 5/5 stars. Our server, Kristen, was an absolute delight and so incredibly knowledgeable about every ingredient on the menu. She got to know us in the short time we were at the restaurant and was able to make recommendations for food and drinks for us rather accurately. As other reviewers mentioned, I loved the "welcome bubbles" of champagne. The baguette as a starter was warm and the accompanying salted butter really hit the spot. The Laurel Hill Trout was delicious. The outside of the fish was crispy and salty and the gnocchi was so delicious and a perfect pairing to the butter and garlic permeating the dish. The snap peas were a great added crunch juxtaposing the softer parts of the meal. I enjoyed the food here but didn't find it extraordinary or memorable enough to rank it on my top list of places to go in Pittsburgh. The atmosphere inside leaves a bit to be desired as it's dimly lit and not as well decorated or designed with as much style as other places that are on this tier of restaurants. The drinks were good but nothing wildly amazing and overall this was a nice experience albeit a pricey one. I would come back as I believe they change their menus. I would try to go in with different expectations entirely than I did on my first visit and not hype this place up as much as I had did this time. read more
