We decided a couple nights before that we'd like to try the MBFG. However, we were unable to get a reservation on a Saturday night until later than we'd like (after 8:45 pm). We checked back a couple of times and ended up getting a 7:15 reservation. We drove up Grandview Ave early evening to check out the view from the look out area. It's as awesome as you may have seen it described. It was still early and we decided to go into the restaurant and see if we could be seated before our reservation. Fortunately, they have a nice lounge area with tables near the windows so we could have a drink and enjoy the view. We ended up eating our meal in the lounge and it worked out great. My recommendation is that if you're unable to get a reservation arrive early and try to get a seat at one of the tables in the lounge. You can order off the same menu as the dining room. The view may be a bit more spectacular in the dining area because the windows are floor to ceiling, but the view in the lounge is also great. The dress code is pretty relaxed. Now for the food. Everything was excellent. I had the Halibut prepared with the pineapple butter and it was the best I've ever had. Slightly spicy and the fish was very tender and juicy. My husband enjoyed the lemon Sole and my son ordered the filet. This was one of our best meals and completely worth the price. BTW, the prices are similar to other fine seafood and steak places in other large cities. Thank you for your insightful review. I could not agree more with you that our lounge is a fantastic option for when we are heavily booked in our main dining room. Thrilled that you and your family were able to enjoy our restaurant while in town.

Fairly small, nice bar and atmosphere, although on the loud side, Bistrot 19 has a very nice, short menu with very well executed dishes of high quality ingredients. The lamb ragu gnocchi, duck breast, and salmon were very tasty and nice sized portions with seasonal ingredients.Professional, friendly wait staff. Nice selection of wines, but over priced by the bottle. Stick with the glass selections which are limited but a good pour.

Stopped in for lunch and a couple of beers while passing through the Pittsburgh area. Overall, really just okay. One of the beers that I selected (Keep Summer Safe) was pretty good but another (Sedition DDH) that I also tried bordered on undrinkable. The food was okay and somewhat overpriced for what it was. Paid $16 for a pretty mediocre pizza and $15 for a sandwich and some potato chips. Service was great... the person who took care of us was prompt and friendly.

This was my second visit. I just don't see what the hype is about this restaurant. The seating space is very tight and the staff was not very friendly. At all. I was up charged $1 to sub a cheese in an omelette without having been told. When I brought it up to the cashier, who also wasn't very friendly or personable, she simply agreed that the server should've let me known. What I can say that I enjoyed was the home fries - they were super! Not that i think I'll be going back for them though...

In Downtown Carnegie is the long time establishment of Riley's offers good Irish food, beer and entertainment. Located on the main street of Carnegie look for on street parking meters that operate until 6pm.Riley's has on tap. In addition to a cozy indoor pub they have a garden dining area with an additional bar. Good service. The food portions are huge. The Reuben sandwich is giant, so is the fish and chips, delicious soup and classic cheddar Colcannon. In the summer the garden has a covered and uncovered area. In the winter the covered area is enclosed from the elements. Part of the year jazz is played during the 5-7 happy hour and occasionally a local Ukulele group play for a sing along from 7-9.

It doesn't have much curb appeal, but you'll feel right at home here. Nice quiet, family, neighborhood bar feel. Wedgies were delicious. Strong craft beer selection as well. Great for a family dinner, a night watching sports or just some drinks with friends.

We have eaten here a number of times over the years. We usually try the daily specials, but have never had a meal we haven't enjoyed. The servings are large. We've been for lunch, but are usually there for dinner. I would like to get there for a breakfast one day, but we are usually in the area later in the day. Bob's also has a few other locations around. Our service has always been pretty good. We both had the roast beef the last time we were there.

Gab and Eat has been around for as long as we can remember. Great place for breakfast anytime, nothing fancy just good old-fashioned breakfast at a reasonable cost. Pretty much the only place we want to go for a cheeseburger. Only open till 2:30, pretty much always a wait, albeit not long usually. Breakfast scramble is legendary.

Never a disappointment! Consistent, attentive service, creative, delicious meals served with affordable flair. Between us we raved about the flatbread, beet salad, tacos, ahi tuna, salmon, and scallops. Shared some flourless choc cake with homemade ice cream. We definitely lingered because it was such a good environment for friends to enjoy each other while totally enjoying their meal.
