Restaurants near East Park

Eleven is definitely always one of my favorite and I am certainly come back. For this visit on Sunday night, all the dishes were outstanding. However, the only thing I gave 3 points was service. The timing between salad course and entree was longer than normal. Also our server seemed forget about us as he passed by the table 3 times but never stop to check in with us when we finished all the entrees. Also a long waiting for the desserts, it tooks 15mins for the dessert to hit the table.

My wife and I really enjoyed our dinner at Fig and Ash. The crab cake as an appetizer and the meatloaf were standouts, though honestly, the mashed potatoes with the meatloaf may have been the best bite. They were truly excellent. The brownie and ice cream was a great way to finish the meal. We are looking forward to coming back again.

Our first experience will not be our last! We live a few hours away and planned a weekend getaway. Everything from the ambiance, service, and food was impeccable! Check in and valet were seamless. Sitting on the swings waiting to be called to our table was a total vibe! We were seated below the bar right at the entrance. At first I had really wished we were upstairs but the food and ambiance made me forget right away! We started with the bread board appetizer which was delivered by one of the managers, Shakur. This impressed me because he was interacting with the guests and you could tell he wanted to make sure our experience was satisfactory! The breads were delicious and the spreads were perfect compliments! I had the haddock and my husband had the lobster mac and cheese. We were expecting small portions for the fine dining price—we were WRONG! We were shocked at how much food arrived and we had to box up a big portion of everything (appetizer, meals, dessert) that we ordered. To finish, we had to order the Pittsburgh cookie table! Were the cookies the best cookies we’ve ever had? No. Am I still glad we ordered it? Absolutely! I especially liked the heart shaped cookies. They were delicious! I must try brunch next!

We had the most lovely evening celebrating our weekly date night and an early Valentine’s Day dinner at Siempre Algo. It’s a smaller restaurant and it makes sense that reservations are needed. There’s a bar and tables for couples and groups of four. I really enjoyed the 2010s music playing and it wasn’t loud enough to be distracting or not hear my partner. The lighting was also just right and there were tea light candles around the restaurant creating a warm ambiance for the space. Menus are provided thru a QR code and I appreciate how it minimizes waste and additional labor. We were greeted by Alli, seated, and immediately served filtered water. We were also treated to complimentary champagne. We then ordered the Siempre Algo Old Fashioned and Jack of All Trades for cocktails. Next we ordered focaccia as a snack which was crispy and salted perfectly served with a perfect quenelle of butter. For mains, we ordered the wagyu sirloin and the porchetta. I couldn’t believe they had ibérico and I had to try it for myself. The pork was so tender it melted in your mouth. The steak was delicious and cooked exactly to order. Served with buttery whipped potatoes and broccolini, I know the wagyu sirloin will be what I order the next time I visit. For dessert, we had the chocolate cake and peanut butter ice cream. The cake was rich but not overwhelming and had you going for bite after bite. We’ll definitely be going back and bringing people with us. This place was absolutely worth it.

Service was EXCELLENT, constantly checking up on me and was just overall very friendly. It has a nice interior with a dark red and brown gentleman’s vibe. Unfortunately I started feeling sick from the food shortly after. But otherwise I recommend this place
