Friday Nite Pirates Block Party

My boyfriend took me here to celebrate our 2 year anniversary and I was so spoiled with this amazing experience. It was such a fancy and adorable place to celebrate! I loved the aura here the dim ambiance with lit candles made it so cozy, fancy, and intimate. Here's what we tried: Root to Berry: A non alcoholic seltzer flavored with strawberry, lime, ginger I didn't like the ginger flavor in it, it made it too spicy DreamLife: Another non alcoholic seltzer flavored with vanilla, lemon, orange, orange blossom water The orange vanilla combo was yummy I liked this one a lot more than the Root to Berry Wasn't too sweet which I enjoyed Roasted Bone Marrow: Interestingly topped with caper raisin relish, celery, marcona almonds, but surprisingly so good Paired with sourdough Toppings were soo yummy especially the raisins that added a sweet twist to it Filet Mignon: I ordered this medium rare, and oh my god it was SOOO tender it literally melted in my mouth The only reason I didn't enjoy this dish as much is because the filet mignon was topped with blue cheese which I don't like I should have gotten it without blue cheese The roasted potatoes that it came with was the perfect softness paired well with the cognac sauce, but it was a bit too bland Steak Frites: Like the Filet Mignon, I ordered the NY strip medium rare and it was so tender, so juicy, so yummy literally melted in my mouth Loved the buttery, garlic sauce that topped this steak. It paired SO well together Normally comes with rosemary fries, but my boyfriend loves truffle fries so we asked for a substitution they were so generous to make that accommodation that for us! The truffle flavor was so rich, but I thought the fries were just slightly overcooked. It was really crispy, and I wish it had been a little softer, but overall were still great To top off our meal, we ended with the lemon blueberry creme brulee which was also so mind blowing yummy. The custard was so rich, and I loved the layer or caramelized sugar on top. I also really liked the unique lemon flavor that made it taste extra special. The service here was fantastic. They were so polite, accommodating, and well mannered. They changed all our utensils after every course. I would highly recommend coming here to celebrate a special occasion!

We had a 5:30pm dinner reservation and they put us in a private room. There were five of us so we family styled a lot of different dishes. We tried basically half the menu and it was amazing. My favorites were the crispy truffle fries, rigatoni alla vodka that had a kick to it, the cowboy cut ribeye special, and strawberry shortcake dessert! The service was lovely and overall we had a great time. We were a little sad that we didn't sit in the main dining area since it's such a cool vibe out there but next time!!

$25 cancellation fee per person Rude hostess Waitress was delightful Lamb pappardelle was yummy Bogus drink charge vodka martini was charged by vodka, plus martini charge $4, plus olive charge $1.50. Will not be returning and do not recommend.

We got the sweetest server who made sure our party was well taken care of. She helped us take photos and even gave us a dessert on the house (we were celebrating a graduation . We made a reservation for opening at 5 pm, and there were already a lot of people waiting to get seated. The restaurant was beautiful inside, with a lot of character and decoration. Appetizers: The wagyu carpaccio was surprisingly refreshing it tasted like Vietnamese pho with fresh herbs. The coconut curry mussels were delicious each mussel was plump and juicy. The sauce was perfect to mop up with the toasted bread. We got a side of asparagus on top of some crumbled cheese. We also ordered truffled fries (yum! , at first they gave us the wrong order, but later on apologized and added the right order (not complaining about free fries! Main: The Tomahawk steak with bone marrow this one was cooked true to medium rare and was good. The bone marrow was so so, there was barely anything on there. It can easily feed 3 4 people. The bone in pork chop was pretty good, it was cooked well with bursting flavors. The lamb pappardelle was yummy as well. The braised lamb was succulent. The noodles were too al dente for me. Bathrooms were outside of the restaurant, which was a trip to get to.

I can't say enough good things about Meat and Potatoes. My standard salmon was anything but standard. Korean sauce, kimchi, Chinese sausage, fried egg, and black rice. It's unusual but it works in the weirdest way. The fingerling potatoes cooked in the buttery melt-in-your-mouth sauce completely hit the spot. The service was fast and friendly (our server was funny and brought personality and spice to the table which was appreciated). Great wine list, and a touch of class, postcards of Pittsburgh of yesteryear were provided with receipt. I has a wonderful experience and encourage anyone reading this to please check them out.
