Some things were great, others were lacking. I got the steak salad and while the steak itself was great, the salad was just ok. It could've benefitted from not being DROWNED in the balsamic vinaigrette. Our service was sub par. She appeared suddenly and flat out asked if we wanted drinks. No introduction, no menu introduction, nothing. She would go on to check in infrequently. Lastly and something that is out of control of the restaurant but still harmed our experience, our table neighbors were unbarebly inconsiderate. They would yell and talk across our table to people sitting at our other side which was incredibly disruptive to me and my fiance's dining. All in all, our trip for my fiance's birthday to Uncorked could've been much better.

This was our first time back since they opened December 2024 and there's been so much growth since then! They've tightened up service and we thought the menu was more cohesive now. We started off with some amuse-bouche before heading over to the dinner table for the main courses. They did a great job of explaining the ingredients and techniques used in each course and everything felt very intentional. My favorite dishes were the swordfish, duck breast, and parsnip cheesecake. Each course comes with a drink pairing and I was really impressed by the complex and unique cocktails. They give you a printout of everything you ate and drank at the end in a goodie bag along with some cookies! This is such a fun and delicious elevated dining experience that's great for special occasions or really whenever you just want to treat yourself.

This is a rarity in Pittsburgh and I'm glad it exists. We dined at Spork before they switched to…read morethe tasting menu and wasn't too fond of it-my opinion has changed! There is a hard start time as the tasting menu is done in a large group setting-serving everyone at once. So, we found ourselves wandering around the neighborhood and then standing in front of the door waiting for 6pm to strike, I felt like a creep. The area itself is an open floor plan so when they welcome you in, it's confusing to see the table we will be seated around but also see little stations for the canapés. Little awkward. We found a two-seater, and as a plus size woman I felt a bit cramped. My husband and I are both tall (5'11" and 6'3" so we were both fighting over who got the bench seat vs the little stool. There's always that awkwardness when you're looking around trying to figure out what the heck is about to happen and wondering..when is it time to EAT. We did 3 or 4 canapés which were all enjoyable-one that stands out to me had goat cheese and beets-yum! We are asked to take our seats at the large table and ...awkward again bc we are just kind of all looking around waiting. I have a sensitivity to alcohol so I did the N.A. pairing and I didn't feel like I missed out on much. The sommelier did a great job at explaining the notes and why each pairing happened. I really enjoyed the tasting menu. The chef kept us abreast of what we were trying and looped in other accompanying staff which gave us some of their backstory which was nice. I love that the restaurant has an urban garden and tries to reduce waste-that's so important. Minus 1 star because of the clunkiness of the bench area vs the large table where we ate and the cost. $275/pp plus tip isn't something that many can swing in a blue collar city.

Nice waiter, but it took 30 minutes from when we arrived for us to be seated, order our drinks, and get them (this took the longest). The food was meh. I guess I just had higher expectations. My 'veg' soup was actually a bean soup and had zero condiment...no chz, no crouton, no herb thing...just soup. My dates French onion had two slightly melted slices of cheese...no dark brown coloring on the cheese. This would be an execution problem. My salad had 4 ingredients- greens, squash, nuts and blue cheese...I've seen more complexity and flavor from a eatnpark salad bar. We wanted to order oysters with trout row but was told they were out of the caviar. I will say, the two cocktails we received were very tasty. Enough to bump this from a 2 experience to a 3 . I would definitely go back for drinks and maybe some apps but I'm nervous about the main dishes being underwhelming...we'll see, maybe one day The ambience and views are impressive. Not great service, and not great dishes leave me thinkings even the entrées are gonna be a let down. Sorry

The person who carded made a big deal about carding us and would remark on our ages which was kind of weird. We got our drinks and while they were on the pricey side, they were pretty good. The lounge area has a nice fireplace which was cozy.

They obviously have a lot of cocktails, wine, beers and three mocktails, so should be good for anyone. Yes, the cocktails are a bit expensive but in line with similar places in town. They have fancy ingredients, garnishes and drinkware, so it all makes sense. I liked both of my cocktails: rouge wave and nine more lives. Well balanced cocktails! The food is tapas style so yes the portion are small. We ordered a bunch and they were all good. I particularly like the hash browns and the poi boba! The potato were so crispy and a nice contrast with the popping salmon eggs. The poi boba was very unique taste and texture wise, a must try! I read before that the yakitori wasn't available when they went, but it was definitely there yesterday! The decor is amazing and very detailed! There are still working one more room ... should be fun! The entrance is magnificent and worth checking out! They have cool details even in the bathroom! The staff was great and the manager came to talk to us, seems to be a great guy! So don't be scared of the few bad reviews, it was a great time!

A few things to know before you go: if your entire party isn't there at the same time, you only get two hours at your table, so plan accordingly. If you're waiting on people to arrive, that can eat into your seating time. There were only two of us, so we attempted to sbe seated at one of the smaller tables with stools. But if I'm paying a minimum of $15 for a drink, I'm going to need a back on my chair. So we grabbed the only two lower bar seats with backs instead. Our bartender, Bradley, was great--friendly, attentive and helpful. I ordered the Monongahela Mai Tai for $15, and I'll give them credit: it was definitely strong, so that's a plus. As we looked over the menu, we discovered that the yakitori, despite being listed on the menu, wasn't actually available. Since most of the remaining options were small plates and that's just not really my thing, we decided to have our drinks and head down the road for dinner. So, is it a cool vibe? Yes. Is it overpriced? Also yes. Is it an interesting experience? Absolutely. Would we go back? Probably not--unless they actually start serving those meat skewers they advertise. .

I also liked the mussels and Caesar salad. I thought the seafood plateau was just okay. The chocolate aunt cake was a little dry.

They worked hard, traveled when they could, and loved dining out with their wives. Not for spectacle. Not for scenes. But for the simple pleasure of a good meal shared with good company." Hmmm... Let's see how they did. Reservation 6:15pm. The bartender was awesome. I arrived early to greet 2 of our party of 7 at the bar. Great drinks. Reasonably priced for 2026. Well made. Then the rest of our party arrived. We settled up at the bar and went to our table to await the final guests. The new guests ordered drinks and one asked for a taste of one of the wine offerings. Drinks came. But the one guest still waited and waited and waited for that taste of the wine that was being considered. Finally we had to ask about it. It was then delivered. Food finally ordered with wine accompanying. No shares, just each party ordering what they wanted. The environment was great for conversation. And that is a good thing because the service was so slow that had we not had a party of 7, we would have had nothing to talk about. Terribly slow service. Food trickled out. Pizza was cold. Taste of the food was satisfying. Not great. I realized after a while that the wine I had ordered to have with my meal was still not delivered. That was 20 minutes after I had ordered it. Conversation continued. Meals were enjoyed. Convo was great. Harry & Fritz would have been pleased. 9:00pm. Then the $550 bill came. 20% gratuity included. Not too unexpected on the amount. But, when we queried about how to split the bill, the waitress said we could "split it" up to 5 ways. We were seven people. There were four groups. The dinner gathering went down hill from there. We were presented with no options for help in figuring out how much each group owed. I wondered... I had just been at a breakfast joint with a party of 20 persons. The waitress had taken each order for each of the persons and was able at the end of the meal, to present each group of persons their own bill. Tip was included 20%, just like H&F. But H&F didn't either have the wherewithal or the desire to help their customers figure out what each group owed. We had to get a pin. Use the back of the bill to add up cocktails (if someone had one), wine, apps, meals, and one dessert. We were doing the restaurant's work for them. Like it was the 1960's when Harry & Fritz splurged to take their wives out to dinner. H&F's inability to help complete the evening when the bill came caused confusion, some stress with who ordered what... "Oh yeah, that was mine..." kind of thing. I mean it is 2026. All restaurants with that price point should be able to tell each group what they owed. H&F couldn't. Or rather, they wouldn't. Bottom line. If you need a drink with a great bar tender, H&F is the place to go. Great environment for convo. Great look to menu. Very ordinary food. Not for the price point at least. Service was TERRIBLE with a capital "T". What H&F did for our group of 7 was to give us something to talk about when we decide to get together again- NOT AT H&F, about last night's experience. They won't be getting our business any more- except for maybe a drink at the bar.

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.
