We (two middle aged married couples) had the poor experience of choosing this restaurant for dinner during a recent weekend trip to Pittsburgh on Saturday September 28th. The restaurant itself is large and has an initial cool factor upon entering. That slowly faded over the course of the dining experience. The waiter (David) gave the fake outward appearance of being attentive which deteriorated after taking our orders.I ordered a draft beer which was brought to me about 20 minutes after the other's drink orders of iced tea were served. I know it comes from the bar and not the main kitchen but still... The food was mediocre including their "famous" Seven Onion Soup which we found to be watered down and lacking of its main ingredient, onions. We shared a Buffalo Cauliflower appetizer which I must say we did enjoy. I had ordered the Chicken Jambalaya and asked specifically if the dish can be made spicy hot and not just what an average person might consider as spicy. I was assured by David they can add spices to it and "I got you." To my surprise, not only was the dish served at luke-warm temperature but the means to make the dish spicier was to add Frank's Red Hot sauce which was brought to our table with the dish. I personally don't think Frank's is that hot but so be it.My wife's Shrimp and Grits were so bland and tasteless that even after seasoning she said she'd rather not consume the calories on something with unappealing taste. I won't provide the other couples opinions on their behalf but summarize that they agreed with our overall assessment of the food quality and service.During the meal I ordered another draft beer and waited again over 20 minutes for delivery. Throughout the entire dining experience, NONE of our empty plates and silverware were removed from the table. This includes the soup bowls, appetizer plates, meal plates, empty glasses, etc. David came over and brought the bill to the table. My wife wanted to try a desert so we asked that to be ordered and paid for separate from the bill that was just delivered. We had totaled our bill to include a greater than 18% tip even though the food and service was mediocre. Several times David would come over to other dining tables he served and we thought for sure he'd pick up and remove some of the empty plates.... Nope! At one point as a joke and not so subtle hint, I even neatly stacked all the empty plates and placed them on the floor next to our table to clear some space. I ended up picking them back up after 5 minutes and placed them back on the table since not a single server took notice or cared.After waiting a reasonable time for my wife's desert, I decided to get up and find out what the delay could be for a slice of cake. As I walked toward the kitchen, David approached with the cake. I mentioned that it took quite a while (25 minutes?) and we were getting ready to cancel it. I also mentioned the table was full of empty plates despite several times servicing our area. He seemed miffed and curtly said he was busy with customers and working as fast as he could. He then challenged me to talk to his manager if I was dissatisfied. So of course I took his offer to speak to his manager. He then surprisingly turned around with my wife's cake and started to return to the kitchen. Incredulously I asked him about my wife's cake order and he said his manager will deliver it and continued to walk away.Without belaboring this too much further, a few minutes later Sarah, the manager, came to our table with the cake and got a run down of the events we experienced. She expressed her apologies and mentioned she would look at our bill and see what she could do to make things right. We mentioned we're from out of town and just visiting for the weekend. As stated, we already filled out the tip and signed our meal bill when we had asked David to add the dessert separately. Sarah came back with a few Church Works beer glasses and discount coupons for future visits. She also did not charge us for the dessert. We just laughed amongst ourselves since we did not intend to advertise her establishment with the beer glasses, told her we are only visiting, not from the area and since we don't have any future plans to return to Pittsburgh, have no use of the coupons. She said maybe we can give them to someone else. Too funny.We did just that to a group of folks outside the restaurant after telling them our experience and wished them better luck.Good morning,I am so very sorry - your experience is not what we want for our guests at all. I have spoken with our General Manager and Executive Chef and they send their apologies as well. We will speak with the staff and work hard to ensure this does not happen again. I thank you for letting us know what happened and would like it if you could email me with your information whenever it is convenient.Best,Patti Terrano-GoykeThe Church Brew Works3525 Liberty AvenuePittsburgh, PA [email protected]

This is a neighbourhood restaurant. Very little few minutes from home. The biggest chicken wings in town. excellent service and the place is beautiful with a lot of tv screens and a big fireplace outside, to enjoy a cooler dinner with a great fire roaring next to you.

Have tried to get in here on a few trips- finally got up early enough on Saturday to make it with no wait. Totally worth it! Enjoyed the crepe- like pancakes - such a melt in your mouth taste. The corn beef and swiss omelet was really savory and delish. Service was fast and friendly. Will be back!

We had a wonderful experience at Spoon. Our waitress Breanna was very helpful and attentive but not overly so. The Stuffed-Crab Zucchini Blossoms appetizer was surprisingly good. We especially loved the marinated tomatoes and red onions that came with the dish. My husband and I both got the Walleye for our entree, and we were not disappointed. The crispy panko crusted side was very good and the mustard remoulade was a nice accompaniment. This was our first visit to Spoon but will not be our last.

Stopped by a shopping center near Glenshaw looking for a place to have lunch. Cole Cafe has a traditional diner feel with an open air kitchen, booths, tables, and counter seats. Their hours are only breakfast and lunch and their menu has a full spread of typical breakfast items and a handful of sandwiches and salads with a few homemade soups. Their tag line is "welcome to homemade" so I decided to get a burger and fries. Since it was Free Topping Tuesday I was able to get grilled onions, banana peppers, BBQ sauce, and lettuce for no charge. The burger appeared to be fresh ground chuck and was tasty. However the fries were the typical frozen from a bag. Oh well, not everything is homemade I guess. Service was attentive, restaurant looked well maintained. The cafe is also a large hub for lottery buyers which can back the line up to pay for your food. Overall a decent traditional type diner with quality food.

Stokes Grill has been around for a good while, so I decided that longevity must mean something. Between the two of us we had the Pitt Dip (their version of a French dip) and the bourbon BBQ pulled pork. While both were OK, they appeared not to have as much meat as some other restaurants. The problem with that comparison is that the buns that they use at Stokes are a good bit larger than the average bun, so the quantity of meat on the sandwiches might be equal to other places, but it is spread out to cover more area. The pulled pork was OK, nothing too special. The same was the report on the Pitt dip sandwich. They give you a choice of fries, housemade chips or cole slaw. We both had the housemade chips which, also, were OK.

Another outstanding place in Bloomfield that's been here a long time. Their reputation for burgers goes far and wide, and for good reason. They serve home fries (not french fries) with the burgers, and those were really good too. It's a really fun and hopping place with lots of locals. You can feel the love.

I live about 10 minutes away from Wheelfish and my wife and I go there 1-2 times a week for lunch or dinner. It is fabulous in every respect.Wonderful country decor, helpful and friendly staff, excellent beer and cocktail selection (including great craft beer rotation), and a delicious menu.The Wheelfish sweet potato fries are hand-down the best we have ever had and are something that we get a hankering for each week and keeps us coming back. Salty and crispy, with a perfect sweet honey dipping sauce that complements them perfectly. Run, don't walk to Wheelfish today and have a great meal!

We started with Hot Spinach and Cheese Dip. It did not come with enough chips to finish the dip. We never got a chance to order more chips - our server did not return until our meals arrived. I ordered a Vegan Cobb Salad and it was not what I was expecting. On a bed of lettuce the ingredients were arranged is strips across the top of it. So there was a strip of asparagus, a strip of green beans, a strip of roasted beets, a strip of avocado, a strip of cucumber, a strip of garbanzo beans, and some whole cherry tomatoes. The quinoa, farro, almonds and sunflower seeds were sprinkled on top of the salad. There was not much salad dressing on the salad. The grilled asparagus and roasted beets never saw a grill or roaster - they appeared to be fresh out of a can. It was a large salad but the presentation and quality of the ingredients was not good. Overall the high prices and food quality was not worth the long wait. If I ever come back it will be for the cheesecake later in the evening to avoid the wait.Thank you for taking the time and giving us your feedback. However, we are sorry that we have not been able to provide you with an exceptional experience. During your next visit, be sure to join us for Happy Hour for discounted food and drinks! Thanks again and hope to see you soon!

Reserved four weeks in advance to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. Our reserved private balcony table above the main dining room for two had been given away, despite our arrival 15 minutes early. Our server Benjamin tried but he had a challenge. It was an uphill battle for him since we were seated near the noisy hostess station. We chose an amazing white wine , Apremont Savoie, a riesling from Switzerland. Service experience in general was rushed. Our lobster entrees were plopped down before we could savor the excellent wine and finish the appetizers. The hostess and most of the servers were inexperienced and may have been college students. The maitre 'd was more concerned with moving patrons along rather than ensuring an elegant enjoyable dining experience. Once again the lazy lobster was a bit overdone and the Hollandaise sauce bland, served with roasted cauliflower sides and rice. Appetizer Caesar salad with anchovies was fine.. Portions did not satisfy our appetites. Skipped dessert, coffee was burned. Whereas annual Lobster Fest dinner overall is an event, it's neither a fine dining experience nor worth $75/person with drinks and tip. Only recommend Hartwood Restaurant for the adjacent Whispers Pub for lunch,late night drinks, appetizers and desserts.I am very sorry about your recent experience at the Hartwood. This is an unusual occurrence and we apologize for putting a bad taste on your very special occasion. Congratulations, by the way, 50 years is truly something to celebrate! Please come in for another visit and enjoy a proper celebration on us. You can reach me at [email protected] with your details. We do hope you will give us another chance to prove our loyalty to you as a customer of our establishment.
