Good Pre-Theatre Fare

by PittsburghFoodie

It's not really my kind of atmosphere but the food is delicious and consistent and the staff works very hard to accomodate the pre-theatre crowd. They've squeezed us in last minute, put a rush on our order, and got us out in time for the curtain. Reservations are definitely recommended...although we got lucky without one.

Stay Away and Tell Others...I sure will

by NOTMOM

Fruit Flies, uninformed staff, owners who are not involed (Mark's at the bar but won't address unsatisfied customers?) Why would a restaurant ever charge $1.75 for three tablespoons of marinara sause for a $10.95, 15 piece calamari appetizer? Are scallops with butter and bread crumbs really worth $8 a scallop?

Finally, get rid of the flies. It's just embarrassing. Especially when you charge what you do and your staff is not accommadating.

I am not making this stuff up. By the way, it was a Friday night.

• Pros: walking distance from hotel
• Cons: food/value/fruit flies/bad staff/very over priced

Stellar Food, Rude Service

by PittBass08

I've only eaten here once as a direct result of my experience with their staff. The Hostess, upon reviewing our reservation, had the nerve to tell our party, "I'll take your coats. You tip me and I will retrieve them for you at the end of your meal." Last I checked, a patron is obligated to tip in instances of exemplary service... not merely because he or she is TOLD to by the tipee. On the other hand, the food was stellar--just not worth the hassel of rude service.
