text: I would give this additional stars if I had the optionnnMy husband and visited Pittsburgh for our anniversary and based on reviews we decided to have our special dinner at the restaurant Root We could not decide from the tempting and unusual choices so we ordered the Tasting Menu with courses priced at person The waitress she was superb attentive friendly helpful and informative cautioned us that we should not order this if we are at all picky or have allergiesaversions We are foodies We wanted the chef to enjoy himself and pull out all the stops and we happily gave ourselves over to being surprised This turned into a very generous assortment I was expecting like one tiny bite of everything not so nnEach course was delicious and all different I will not itemize each one here as there were so many and I honestly cannot rate one over another they were all that good One conclusion we agree upon is that like a musical composition made up of component parts each of these creations blended seemingly disparate ingredients in a completely harmonious way Yet each part retained its own identity you could really enjoy the ripeness of the fig appetizer whose sweetness contrasted by the creamy bleu cheese the sharply vinegar white anchovies against the creamycustard poached egg in the caesar salad the perfectly tender mild octopus with the vibrant and spicy romescowell you get the idea This is a tiny restaurant seats only maybe and nearly invisible to the passerby In fact it was raining hard and we walked right by the entrance and missed it on the first pass I guess we were trying to avoid puddles nnYou got to look for it And it is SO worth the effort We both agreed that this is probably the most memorable dinner we have ever had and we have visited many wonderful places Keith Fuller is an artist and this restaurant is a gem We look forward to our next visit
