Laid back neighborhood restaurant, focusing on intently seasonal food and cocktails. Small, ever changing menu ensures that you are experiencing the most exciting food in the most intimate of experiences.

With respect to simplicity and execution, we try to highlight the awesome product from our local purveyors with minimal "fuss"

    We shared a bunch of appetizers and small plates, rather than having a main. Every plate was incredible and delicious. Bar service is always top notch too. Love this place.

    Duck was tough, otherwise meal was good. It was very dark. We would probably visit again.

    I had an excellent experience at The Vandal and have already recommended to others. The special martini service was fabulous, the duck entree over French toast was both original & exceptional. All of the servers were highly proficient and friendly. The noise was deafening in this small but intimate restaurant. I look forward to going back on a future trip to Pittsburgh.

    Love this restaurant. The food, service, and cocktails are fantastic. The room has such a nice vibe. The hamachi crudo was outstanding, btw.

    All the food was fantastic! the new Sea Trout dish was very pretty and tasty! the Toffee cake with salted caramel sauce and Ice Cream was out of this world. Tasty wines and excellent service.
