First time in Pittsburgh and wanted to try this place. My 10yo and I had the Beef Wellington for two, it was amazing. The Sargent pepper old fashion was made to perfection. The carrots and potatoes sides were undercooked twice. Still well worth the visit!

Excellent food, polite service, great live singer. Pricey. Brussels sprouts too salty, in contrast to the sea bass which needed some added taste. Beet salad and lamb chops were excellent. Drinks and dessert were excellent.
