    12oz. NY Strip Steak. I asked for medium rare and was served a blue rare almost raw interior.

    Fireside has been a local restaurant I frequent often since it's a short walk from where I live. They have daily specials, and I've enjoyed their burgers and wings a lot. Their fries are also chunky chip-style and really tasty. I also like the big grill in the center of the restaurant. I think it adds a nice ambience. I've now ordered their steak a few times, and I do not recommend ordering one here. I have almost never had the kitchen prepare it properly. This most recent time, I had to ask my server to return it twice so it was not raw in the middle. Unshockingly, it was totally overcooked by the time they managed to not have the steak be raw in the middle. It's not the first time I've been served a raw steak there when I ask for medium rare. Given it's a pretty pricey item on their menu, I don't understand why their kitchen isn't temping their steaks (there are easy guidelines about temperature ranges and doneness). I've attached a picture of how the steak came before I sent it back to be cooked. My server was very helpful, but I wish the kitchen had gotten it right in the first place. If I can cook a steak at home with more consistency and better results, a professional kitchen should be able to do better than I can.

    Dark and old interior but super kind staff. Food was great! The wings were big and crispy. The corn was out of this world, wish I could have stomached 2 of them. The best thing on the menu is the bacon crab hushpuppies. I was scared the bacon flavor would take over but it provided the right texture. My only complaint is I wish the happy hour extended to some of the apps. Otherwise decent bar food in a bar atmosphere with a great price point.

    Food was delicious, service was a little bit slower but it was a hidden gem for a good meal

    I recently went back to Fireside Public House for their Monday night wing special. I ordered a small salad (lettuce, tomato, cucumber) with balsamic dressing and 6 grilled wings (buffalo ranch) with ranch on the side. I'm such a fan of their wings, both grilled and fried. We sat on the patio, which is always a vibe. The service is also good and this is just a chill spot to dine at overall.

    Open seating. Friendly staff. Good drinks. Great chicken Caesar salad. Heavy on the dressing. Great chicken tho. Wings were good. Would come again.

    I like the look of the space. I enjoyed being able to sit outside and enjoy the weather. The food was decent. I had two types of wings that were good. I also ordered the pretzel bites. The cheese wasn't the best. It wasn't smooth and was weird looking. I ordered fries that came out extremely late and weren't all the way cooked through so I sent them back. Our server while friendly was very forgetful. It took forever to just get our waters. As I mentioned my fries came out late because she forgot to put the order in. Also my friend ordered the Mexican corn which she also forgot to put in so it was a long wait. My friend ordered the Brussels sprouts and asked for the sauce on the side. They came out with the sauce on them. Overall all it was an ok experience the service just lacked somewhat.

    This Illy Philly and her man were hungry, the power was out in Pittsburgh, and we needed a place to get some hot food so we decided to go to the Fireside Public House for what we thought would be a great experience. Not at all. When we walked in the restaurant had a few people so we thought great, and we waited for someone to seat us, but after about five minutes of watching the staff walk around, not acknowledge us, and not seat us we had to call out to them to ask if we could seat ourselves. We then sat at the bar and this is when the nightmare began... We sat for about 30 minutes before anyone asked us if they could help us. While we were seated we watched people come in, get seated almost immediately and get service....WE were still at the bar...with no service.Finally a waitress came and said she would be with us shortly and took our drink order. My guy ordered a beer and I ordered hot tea. After another 20 minutes he finally got his bear and I got a tea bag....yes, a tea bag and no water. After another 20 minutes she finally brought me the water, but we had to ask her twice just to get it. All in all we waited over an hour and a half to get our food and everyone that came in after us had their food within 15 to 20 minutes. We had to call over the waitress twice and the second time she had an attitude as we 'pleasantly' pointed out that tables that sat after us already received their food. She made excuses, with an attitude, and we still had to wait. Needless to say it was a horrific experience and my suggestion would be to have a conversation/training about good customer service and what that looks like. What was really crazy is after all of that, they didn't even comp our bill for the nightmare and she had an attitude when we asked about this and only took 10% off. Oh, I forgot she did offer my man a free beer. Smh.... If I could give a 0 rating I would.

    I've been eating wings since 1978 while I was working at the original Quaker steak and lube in downtown Sharron PA. The wings I just had at this establishment were undoubtedly the best I've ever had. I have the fried buffalo Inferno I had to order some to go. You can get them char, grilled or fried you won't be disappointed.

    One chicken, one steak, and one seafood taco

    Alta Via Pizzeria has become one of my favorite spots to grab a pizza in Bakery Square. I got the…read morevodka round with ricotta, which had a thin, crisp crust with flavorful vodka sauce, without an overcomplicated mix of toppings getting in the way. My friend ordered the Cacio e Pepe pizza, which was a really creative take on the classic pasta dish. The cheese and pepper combination both looked and tasted remarkably like its inspiration. Prices are fair, with most pies in the low $20s, and service is relatively quick. Our pizzas were ready about 20 minutes after ordering. One of my favorite parts of getting AVP is actually where you can take it afterward. I love heading into the central atrium by the plant wall, or outside to the turf area when the weather is nice, and enjoying a hot pizza there. Great pizza, reasonable prices, and a fun spot for a casual meal.

    Square pizzas are back, hooray!…read more Appetizer quality has declined; the artichokes have been watery and bland with almost bit smoke taste. Brussels sprouts were also bland. Pizza remains excellent. Drinks and drink menu are also on point. We had the same issue last night that we had over a year ago. The patio area was rented out for a private event so the place was a bit crowded. We waited 35 minutes for a table for 5 adults, which is totally understandable. The moment we sat down, our server started rushing us. After we ordered drinks and apps, he was there immediately for mains. We expressed that we hadn't looked yet, give us a few, and he again pressured us, eventually saying "it's just really busy and we don't have a lot of tables because of that party." The whole end of our meal was him hovering and asking if we were done- at one point directly interrupting conversation to have me hand him "that last plate there" while he leaned over with a massive stack. Just really awkward and unprofessional. I'm truly not a table lingerer but this was like being at a McDonald's. We've always considered this a good place to take a group to connect and enjoy the beautiful atmosphere, but I wouldn't choose AVP again except for quick meals you don't care about.

This shop is part of a larger chain but currently appears to be the only location in the Pittsburgh area. It's located in East Liberty and is really more of a bakery than a coffee shop. The inside is split about 50/50, with half dedicated to seating and the other half serving as a self-serve bakery. You grab a tray and tongs before walking around selecting whichever baked goods catch your eye. They also have display cases filled with cakes and other pastries that need to be kept refrigerated. For my coffee on this morning I went with a 16 oz hot honey lavender macchiato while my wife chose a 16 oz iced tiramisu latte. I have to admit that the name of my drink confused me a bit at first, but it ended up being a latte macchiato as expected. With that being said, I thought it was quite good. The lavender was light enough to be noticeable without overpowering the drink, while the honey added just the right amount of sweetness. The espresso was also present, especially on the finish, where it added both flavor and body. My wife also enjoyed her latte and appreciated the tiramisu flavors throughout. Outside of the coffee, we ordered a number of pastries. My wife chose the Crookie, which is a cookie baked on top of a croissant. My son picked out a chocolate-covered Belgian waffle, while my daughter chose the strawberry soft bread. All of them enjoyed what they ordered, and I think my wife especially loved the Crookie. As for me, I went a little overboard and chose a garlic and cheese croissant, a curry croquette, pork-dusted bread, and a sweet taro cream bread. All of them were delicious in their own way. The garlic and cheese croissant was a nice savory option, with plenty of garlic flavor and a crispy cheese crust. The curry croquette had wonderful warming spices that made it especially flavorful. The pork-dusted bread was definitely the most unusual item. The pork topping reminded me of Wild Bill's Beef Jerky, and somehow those savory flavors worked really well on top of the crunchy laminated bread. Last but certainly not least was the taro cream bread. I was impressed by how light it felt despite being packed with an impressive amount of cream filling. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I'm a sucker for bakeries like this and clearly ordered far more than my waistline needed, but everything I tried was enjoyable. While the coffee was good, the pastries are the real reason to visit, with the coffee serving as an excellent complement.

    We had heard the bakery was phenomenal and they were right. Wow! They have tons of amazing pastries…read moreto buy. Everything we got has been amazing. The best thing is the chocolate croissant.
