Great place to get a cup of joe and enjoy the scenery. Love this Place! Just not the smokers. Great customer service and wifi availability. Coffee is average but I love supporting local businesses. I will be back

I gushed on about this place when I came here first and having come back for brunch I still have to say I think the food is exceptional. Why the loss of a star? Well to be honest its down to service and a general lack of organisation. Like many places the Pantry is listed on TopTable.co.uk, so when looking for a place for brunch for Lucie.M and I this seemed like the perfect option. Having booked a day before we walked in to the crowded restaurant bang on the time of our booking, 6/7 people were already waiting to be seated. As some people were being turned away, I explained I had made a booking, one quick check of their bookings and it was clear they didnt have us down - credit to him - he told us to wait and our table would be ready in just a minute. When we did sit down the table was really sticky - the very flustered waitress immediately came over and asked if we had ordered - not having seen a menu and having just sat down we said well no. This seemed to frustrate her a little. Lucie.M opted for the build your own fry-up and I went for the East Lothian foraged mushrooms with pancetta and poached eggs. When the food came I got a waft of one of my favourite things in the gastronomic world TRUFFLE. These lovely mushrooms has been doused in truffle oil. Oh my.........! It was delicious, I well near licked the plate clean, Lucie was I think equally surprised and impressed by her meal, especially the veg table hash. All in all the kitchen are knocking it out the park, front of house....get things in order and you have a real winning place! The Pantry still comes Highly Jd Recommended.

Limited menu, confusing set up. Baked goods (muffin at least) dry and grainy. Order delivered to table in spurts. Waiter came by twice asking if we had ordered a smoothie. Finally had to go back to the counter to get the muffin we ordered. Had a sand I with bacon. Egg was cooked perfectly, bacon was well done and flavorful, English muffin was disappointing. If they make it through the first year I'll be surprised.

I went here alone when I first moved to Pittsburgh. Maybe it would've been a better experience had I not been alone, but I go out alone a lot, and I've never felt as awkward as I did when I walked into Gooski's. Everyone turned to look at me as I came in the door, and their eyes followed me until I took a seat in a booth by myself (do I have something on my face?). I grabbed a beer, sat and drank it and decided to leave rather than stay. It didn't feel very friendly to me.. but maybe I'll give it a second chance, based on some of these other reviews.
