    We loved our experience overall! There is a difference in noise level and vibe from sitting upstairs or downstairs. We sat upstairs and it felt much more private and quiet.

    Not good. A bit absurd to pay $40 for a piece of low quality soggy chicken, and an ADDITIONAL $10 for a child size portion of chewy pasta. Won’t be back

    Outstanding service - Sarah was very personably and elevated our experience with her warm demeanor and attentive manner. The food never disappoints- everyone’s meal was packed with flavor leaving us all extremely satisfied and planning our next meal experience here.

    Outstanding. May be the best experience we have had in Pittsburgh. Service, food , ambiance were superior. Our waiter and the general manger went above and beyond.

    We showed up on time but our table wasn't ready, which was fine, however, they had no space for us at the bar, because they had seated the entire bar for dinner. So they kept us waiting in their ridiculously small entry way along with two other parties. Our server Dominick was great and the food ok but the consistently mediocre front of house experience at all of the DeShantz restaurants becomes increasingly annoying the more I am exposed to it.
