Brick And Barrel - Pittsburgh

I first heard about this restaurant from my coworkers, and it has quickly become a favorite spot for me. The staff here are incredibly friendly and helpful, even when they are busy. The short rib poutine is a must-try dish, with perfectly cooked short rib and the best French fries I've ever had. The artichoke and spinach dip is also delicious, with plenty of artichoke and spinach served with crispy pita bread. The fried risotto balls were tasty, but the risotto served with steak stole the show. The giant pretzel was surprisingly light and came with a generous portion of cheese. The chicken wings were juicy and flavorful, and the Mac and cheese was creamy and satisfying. The fondue burger was cooked perfectly and the pizza options were enjoyed by all. The steak of the week was a NY Strip cooked to perfection, and the pork chop was incredibly tender. The only disappointment was a burnt bottom on a chocolate lava cake, but it didn't overshadow the great food and service. The historic building adds to the charm, with a display of old keys near the host podium. I highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning soon.

We had a party of 13 and everything was fantastic. Despite having another large party, the service was great from the moment we walked in. The bar area was nice and the waitress was attentive and friendly. The food was delicious with no issues. Definitely worth visiting again.

The food and service at this restaurant are top-notch! The exterior of the restaurant is stunning as well!

My wife and I dined here for dinner on Saturday. We both had the asparagus dip with pita chips for an appetizer. It was excellent. We also ordered the 14 ounce strip steaks which were cooked to perfection. My side of bacon risotto was the best risotto I have eaten. Great beer selection, I could see that the person choosing the beer was knowledgeable. Overall a great experience!

Really nice place! Great service. Will be again! We want to try more of the appetizers
