text: I love trying any new Pittsburgh restaurant and this was on the top of my list.  We made a reservation about a month in advance knowing they can be hard to get. I recommend you definitely make reservations.  We were seated downstairs and I love the d\u00e9cor of the place-rustic with animal heads on the walls yet trendy. The bar is super cool and it was packed!  They have a nice drink menu and the prices are reasonable. I started off with the  Arsenal Santa Cinnamon-this is delicious but you get 7 oz for $8.  My next drink was the Penn Weizen which was only $4.  Our server was really knowledgably about the specials and menu items. We were served quickly and he checked in on us numerous times. I went with the cauliflower which was delicious and had a sweet/savory taste with carrots and a nice sauce.  I also got the country ham which was ok. I would not get this again. You get 2 small biscuits that don't have much taste with a few pieces of cured ham. The yogurt dipping sauce was good.  Others in my party ordered the mussels. I'm not a fan of seafood but you got a huge portion.  The rice cakes and Brussels sprout dishes were amazing and glad I got to sample them.  The mac and cheese looked delicious as well as the dirty pasty which was very tasty!  Wish we saved room for dessert.  The small plates are enough to eat on your own-probably recommend 2 per person or fun to share!
