This is now the closest location (since the DC Ranch location closed) :( Stopped in to meet some friends for happy hour and good to know that this location is happenin too!! Although I really dont enjoy the parking situation at Desert Ridge - it tool me 20 minutes to find a space on a friday night....and then another 10 minutes to walk. There seem to be some angry drivers there!....or really thirsty :) I recall the days at the DC Ranch location....watching the civilized lunch/stroller crowd turn into the counter-top dancing /drinking kind!! Good to know that it has toned down some - or maybe that comes later.

Loyal customer there. They did a fantastic job every time. Until this last time! They lost my order and said they are not responsible for lost items. No credit. No sorry! NO NOTHING!!! You would think they would value a customer that regularly brings in 20 plus items a little more than that! DO NOT GO THERE! Well, I guess you could go there to drop off old clothes you want to give away. They would make a freaking awesome Goodwill drop!

This is a must try restaurant when in the 'Burgh! It is an old converted house in Highland Park transformed into a warm, homey, yet upscale Italian eatery with very good food. Reservations are highly recommended, especially on the weekends. We started out with one meatball each and they were tender and DELICIOUS! You choose your entree and it comes with the salad and pasta course which comes before the meal itself like a traditional italian restaurant. The salad was decent, but not memorable because the dressing was just missing something. OMG BUT the PASTA course....it is beyond delectable. It comes in a pink sauce and the pasta is perfect and I could have licked my plate if no one was looking. Fiance got the butterflied shrimp which our fellow dining guest said was 'beyond', and I had the lamb with mushroom risotto. The shrimp looks pretty ordinary, but it is anything but. It is scrumptious! It isn't overly breaded and is flavorful and fresh. The best thing about it is the homemade tartar sauce that it comes with along with a chunky cocktail sauce, which isn't very spicy, but tasty and doesn't overpower the shrimp. My lamb was out of this world as well. A good portion of lamb on top of a bed of mushroom risotto with a moat of this heavenly brown lamb sauce that I couldn't get enough of. The risotto wasn't quite creamy enough, but it was good. (I am crazy picky about my risotto) Our friend's filet mignon dish looked absolutely amazing! We should have taken a bite. We will try that next time we're in town for sure! The piece de resistance was the butterscotch pound cake for dessert. SO GOOD! Decadent, rich with a light butterscotch flavor. The only comments I have otherwise is about the bread-it's just not that great, and neither is the herbed olive oil that accompanies it. When it's busy, the service is a little slower than normal, but not terrible. Everyone is very personable and sweet here and you may even have a chat with the chef himself when he comes around to see how everyone's meal is going. A must try when in Pittsburgh!

Whenever I've taken a trip down Leith Walk, I always feel on edge. There has never been a time that I've walked down hassle free or without someone asking me for spare change. Just the other week I was stopped no less than 3 times before I was a quarter of the way down and one of the men asking me for money got rather aggressive when I said no and followed me for a few metres until someone else came along. Leith Walk reminds me of Victoria Street in Glasgow, somewhere that I'd never walk along on my own. No matter what time of day you find yourself here, there's always an abundance of drunken men spilling out of the bookies and pubs than line the street. There is a good mix and selection of shops and many independent stores too which is refreshing but the seedy undertone to Leith Walk puts me of going anywhere near it and although you'd probably never come to any harm here, I'd still recommend walking here with a friend, especially at night!
