text: This is a Lunch ReviewnnFirst I would like to start off with stating that I am regretting giving this place only a two star review But the final reasoning for the lower score is because just like Dawntawn Pittsburgh it is a very forgettable experiencennLets start with the prosnnDespite Fridays being a popular dine out day the restaurant was only comfortably full I personally like this it allows for a steady flow for the waiters and bartenders and I do not experience anxiety sitting on top of somebody elsennThe hostess was pleasant and ready to help me to a table but as it was only me I took a seat at the bar The bartender came over unrushed but promptly and handed me my customary water with many lemons It is still a workday so I was disappointed I did not think to glance to a drink menu despite a really attractive well stocked bar He handed me a menu which displayed a decent lunch selection I hope this is a shortened menu for lunch hours if I were displayed the same selection for a dinner time I would call it limited The bartender was also prompt to stumble through the three daily specialty dishes I say stumble as the menu is doing it is best to read in the finest worst pittsburghese the city has to offer nnStruggling with the same hurdle I chose the devonshire sammitch This item turns out to be a slice of butter fried toast stacked with lots of shaved turkey meat a couple slices of bacon and smothered in what looked like nacho cheese sauce It looked or tasted nothing like I expected it to which turns out to be a good thing The sauce is homemade and not oversalted and though it looks like it is overpowering you soak it up with the mounds of meat you are given It was suprising one of the best tasting lunches I have had in a while especially for a lunch Also I had to eat it with utensils Suprise With a pittsburgh theme I was expecting something to pick up with my hands happy mennThe bill was unrushed my plates were cleared quickly and the bill was decent tada dollarsnnNow what made the review go sour The atmospherennThis place has an identity problem It is called a tast of Dawntawn so you expect it to be almost overyinzered Disregarding the menu for a second i do not know what downtown their talking about but it is not Pittsburgh First it is NOT decked out in black and gold jaw drop second it is looks like it was decorated by three conflicting interior designers trying to mesh a roaring s ideal from the giant mural on the wall to the martini etc alcohol posters opposite it with fifties diner accessories the fries if you order them are served in miniature fryer baskets and there is a oversized set of cutlery mounted in a corner and waiters that are dressed injapanese steak house chef jackets Everything is RED the countertops the walls the lights the placemats the menues Red on red on red The single exception is the hideous awning on the outside of the buildingnnAll together I was so dizzy trying to figure out what the impression of Taste of Dawntawn is supposed to have on me that I will have forgotten it all together by tomorrow If not by the end of the History Uncorked event in hours nnSo regrettably despite the actually good food I have to knock down the review to Meh as I will probably not be returning to the location
