Wow, Cure offers a great overall dining experience. I like how the kitchen is open. You can see all the work by the chefs. I also liked passing the spice rack on my way to the bathroom. The degree of transparency here is awesome. You can even sit at a table alongside the kitchen which is similar to bar seating at a sushi restaurant. They have what seems to be a large selection of craft cocktails and wines. As a beer guy, I was excited to see only local, craft options on draft. The food was outstanding! We started with the Salumi and beef tartar. There was soooo much flavor. On the Salumi board, each meat, mustard, and pate had a unique and intricate flavor. I enjoyed all of the samplings. The beef tartar was excellent too! It came with chimichurri and a couple of other sauces. Again, there were so many levels of flavor. Honestly, I had a tough time keeping up with all of the tastes. And when I thought the dinner couldn't get any better, the main entrees were served, we split the lobster sagu and veal. The pasta in the sagu was super fresh. I am very surprised to find myself saying that it was one of the best pastas I have ever had. The sauce, goat cheese, hearts, and nuts made for great compliments in the sagu. Yet somehow, the best thing I ate all night was the veal. It was cooked perfectly. Literally perfect. The outside had a beautiful char while the inside was a medium rare leaning on the rare side. It came with mashed potatoes, a mustard sauce as well as a few other compliments. This dish worked very well in unison. I believe Cure is the best restaurant for dinner in Pittsburgh of the restaurants I have dined at hitherto.
