We come here now instead of the red lion. The people on staff are nicer.

The food and atmosphere was awesome. We had a party of 10 for a business dinner. We started in a quaint little bar area where we were quickly attended to while we waited for our reservation. Once seated we were greeted by a few servers who gave us the specials. We ordered several apps, all delicious. I had the Mahi mahi and my spouse had the filet all was cooked to perfection. We were there before a Penguins hockey game and all felt comfortable wearing casual clothes. Would highly recommend

My boyfriend and I came here for Valentine's Day. The food was good and the wine selection was fantastic.We had amazing calamari. I had the salmon and he had a grouper that was stuffed with another fish. Both were very good.Overall a great restaurant in a great downtown location. The interior of the restaurant is very private and romantic, but just a bit overly secluded and stuffy in our opinion. It was definitely perfect and very romantic for Valentine's Day, however.We would definitely come again.

Yes! There is nothing greater than having a dim lit lunch with the delights of a fantasy server. Seared tuna and a bright salad to enjoy midday. Reservations definitely recommend.

Every time we come here we ask ourselves Why don't we come here more often? The food is always exceptional and Enzo our server was outstanding! Everyone thanked us for dining with them during the trying time and a young lady came around and gave all the women a green carnation! Kevin Joyce is a master restaurateur!

I took the president of my company here and our entrees were outstanding. I will definitely try and eat here every time I am in Pittsburgh.

Food is consistently good, servers are nice and knowledgeable and wine prices and selection make it an easy choice for us. The limo to the shows and parking validation make it a home run...

The staff is wonderful from the time you arrive, through the service and when you leave. Great value with the free parking and limo to the cultural district and service there is top notch also

What's for dinner? (Saturday~ February 29, 2020) Sea Scallops Provençal!!! French 75 as my drinks!! Yummy Yum Yum!!!! Meal specs: The scallops were pan sautéed, served over Asiago Risotto with hearty Provençal, chopped asparagus, basil oil & fresh Micro herbs!! The scallops were the biggest scallops that I've had thus far!!! Big & good!! Cooked properly & so very tasty!!! They were cooked throughly, seasoned on topped & sautéed which was nice!! The risotto was very good & paired well with the scallops, Provençal, basil oil & herbs!! The risotto was cooked properly. The asparagus was crunchy & cooked nicely. I don't like everyone's asparagus but I like theirs!! Drink specs: It consists of Hendricks gin, simple syrup, fresh lemon juice, lemon twist served in a champagne flute!! It was surprisingly good!! However, it was small!! ‍ Tip: They have parking that you can get validated. I'm upset that I didn't know about that as many times that I've been there in the past. The bartender this night was nice enough to let us know!! Also, the menu changes! Bon appétit!!! Pictures

Gabby was an excellent server. She made fabulous recommendations for each part of our meal. We enjoyed a relaxing dinner along with a complementary limo ride to the Benedum Center.

Our server was very sweet, and we could tell that she was nervous. Super nice girl! She knew a lot about the menu, which is great. However, for a restaurant that has over 600 bottles of wine to choose from, all servers should be more than familiar on how to open a bottle of wine. Practice using the wine key (easiest way to open a bottle when used properly) so that the cork doesn't break, practice pouring so that it doesn't spill all over the white table cloth. Both the short ribs and filet were decent, not great.
