  • Friendsgiving with La Grassa & Coven

    27 Nov 2024 only
    They say it's the biggest party night of the year and we're leaning in with a special collaborative menu with our friends La Grassa and Coven Brewery and DJs, Johnny Zoloft and Michael Kaiser. We're bringing back our elusive French Dip and including some of our favorite party foods alongside La Grassa's corner slices to pair with some really fun beer from Coven (like maybe a beer cocktail) and our natural wine list. We'll start the night off pretty chill and low key and then Johnny Zoloft and Michael Kaiser join us at 7

    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.

    Two complaints: It's really LOUD, so hard to carry on a conversation without yelling. Secondly, we were disappointed at the wine list, specifically the lack of reasonably priced bottles of wine. Otherwise, loved the creative menu, food, and service.

    The Vandal was excellent again. Incredibly tender and tasty Steak with the World's perfect Frites. Beet and Fig appetizer was outstanding. Grilled Squash, Lentils, Kale and other ingredients was great. Very tasty wine and great service!

    Waitress moved at a glacier speed. Didn’t know much of what was on the menu. Ended up leaving and eating across the street. I’ll never go back.
