text: I am not from Pittsburgh and when I was looking for a restaurant open near my hotel I stumbled into this little gem of a restaurant The dark lofty eclectic atmosphere was pleasant and welcome after a long day of tourism I ordered a glass of Pino Noir and while it was a very fine selection it was a fact unknown to me until I got the check However it must have had a pretty high alc content because it did the job of two glasses of the crap I buy at home We were seated upstairs in very close quarters to the tables on either side of us do not expect privacy here But my husband and I love people watching so we were not put off by being subjected to the DB sitting next to us trying to impress the girl we believe he met online It was a form of entertainment My husband spent a good mins perusing the VERY extensive whiskey menu and decided on the Angels Envy What a treat Truly a flavorful blend to savor slowly first with the olfactory then orally One can smell the unique ingredients I plan to buy a bottle of this nectar of the gods for my boss at Christmas It is definitely a bone warmer We ordered a cheese tray appetizer I was expecting a few triangles of Cheddar What we got was a smattering of four specialty cheeses each with opposing flavors designed I believe to wake up your taste buds and remind them that there are still unique flavors in the world My favorite thing about this tray was the sweet peach jelly infused with a touch of Mustard oil There is a name for this lovely combination But I forgot it Our entrees were the Shephards Pie and the Flank Steak The Pie was wonderful The meat was so tender it melts in your mouth The flank steak was way way way too salty I ate it all after those two glasses of super charged Pinot Noir and chased it with glasses of water I do not think my Sober tongue would have done so well Steve was a very patient awesome friendly server We asked him more questions than any diner at pm on a Saturday night has a right to ask We tipped him well Overall this is definitely a place foodies should try and meat potato peeps like me should experience
