    Staff and the service were exceptional. We had several items on the menu and one off menu item. Everything was delicious. Our server was knowledgeable about selections as was the entire staff.

    Been coming for years and was finally disappointed. Service really took a dive starting with the sommelier. Brought my own bottle as I have never been really impressed with what they offer especially for the money, buying a bottle of ok wine for 3x sucks. They have a corkage fee of 35, so whatever. Sommelier comes over and says "oh, great, Caymus" it wasn't Caymus. I laugh and he goes on opening the wine. After a few minutes of uncomfortable opening I ask if they ever carry Far Niente which is what I brought. He responds with "no, I don't carry wine that you can buy in a state store." Shocked, I laughed and that was that. Superiority complex by a sommelier is not new but this is Pittsburgh not NYC. That set the mood for the rest of the evening. Our actual waiter was ok at best, not very attentive and almost rude when we didn't want any dessert. Food was good but the menu is stale at this point. If you have been here a few times, I would relax on rushing back. Ambiance was great except for the loud bar patrons. Hard to enjoy a great meal and view when you have a yinzer in a sweater yelling like he is at a Stillers game.

    The scallop & shrimp special was amazing. The sauce didn't overpower the seafood in any way.
