   Amazing as always. Had a great Valentine’s dinner here. The orchiette is always amazing and I sub pancetta in place of chicken. They are always accommodating. My only complaint is that in the front room, the heater overhead got very very hot. That being said, it may have been too cold otherwise by the front door. Always love it there!

   An absolutely great visit! I've never been and was looking for new places to try for Valentine's/Self-Love Day, lol. I was late for my reservation (I did call to make them aware) and they were still able to accommodate me -- nice customer service. I sat at the bar and was greeted by Scott. He's a sweetheart and served me a couple Sparkling Comsos -- yumm. For my dinner, I got the Scottish Salmon cooked medium. It was made perfectly! The accoutrements were delish as well. Abby(ie) made sure I was tended to throughout. Very nice experience in a beautiful space with matching vibes.

   We received a warm welcome from the hostesses, which set the mood for an enjoyable meal. Paige, our server, was awesome: friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. If we return and she’s working, we would want to sit in her section. We recommend the seasonal mule, which was spicy and sweet, the wonderfully savory short rib ravioli, and the indulgent dark chocolate-raspberry bread pudding. We would not order the wild mushroom bisque (it was too much like mushroom gravy for us), grilled artichokes (they were a little tougher than we would’ve liked), or the carrot cake, which had a dry, crumbly top layer. This might be just the ticket for some diners. However, we have come to expect any rendering of carrot cake to be moist and gooey from the first bite.

   Been going here for years and the menu has gotten stale. Definitely in need of, if not a seasonal refresh, then at least an annual one. On a related note, I had to ask for another menu because the print had literally been half wiped away. Two interesting observations: 1. At least they wipe their menus (👍🏻), 2. Reinforces my point about needing to refresh their menu (👎🏻).

   We go to Casbah every birthday. We are not wealthy people, so it is a stretch for us to eat there. But we always feel confident that our limited entertainment budget will get the maximum bang for its buck at Casbah. The food, ambiance and, most especially, the service, is always on point. It is not cheap, but you get what you pay for. Thank you to Casbah and all the wonderful people who work there, from the valet parking attendants to the bar tenders to the service and buss people. It is always a treat to eat there.

   Great service, really friendly, polite staff. Great food. Highly recommend the meatball appetizers! And the pastas are all great. And the complementary sour dough bread basket with the butter AND oil/ cream (I think?) is DELICIOUS!

   Casbah is always excellent! Great food and service, with an atmosphere that allows conversation. One of the gems of Pittsburgh's East End.

   The food came out cold, which is unusual. Usually there are no problems. The “outdoor” dining area was too hot. When asked to lower the temperature, they cracked the window which helped. The radiant overhead heaters are always set too high.

    This may be close to my 100th time at Casbah. Every experience outpaces the last.
