I let sister Stenquist pick this one out. I gave up perusing Yelp from my Hotel bed and we just stumbled into market square hoping something would be open before 11am on a Saturday. Oddly not a lot opens before 11am in Pittsburgh. And alcohol before 11 and after 9pm seems to be frowned upon. And makes me frown. But as we sipped our mutual coffees, she decided on this place since it didn't exist when she used to live out here. We were seated super fast and the service was super. Fantastic waitress and not an ounce of complaint. I was just really bummed with how bland and flavorless everything tasted. We split an order of fried green tomatoes. Which, are huge and have a ton of additional decoration on top that doesn't seem necessary. Sprinkled cheese with greens is weird. Not to mention the batter just didn't seem right. I just like simple, normal sized battered green tomatoes. Frown. But that wasn't where I was even terribly disappointed. The sandwich and soup or salad combos both failed. At least, my sister's sandwich was better. She got a creole pulled pork and I stuck with a creole cordon bleu. It was charred chicken with bacon and swiss cheese. So freaking dry I could scrub the dishes with the chicken. There wasn't any sauce on the pieces of bread either that seemed to have come fresh out of a cooler. Her rice and beans tasted obviously canned. Both of our sides of fries tasted like mesquite wood chips. I ate about 2 or 3 of them and gave up. The best thing I had in all pure honesty was the side salad. Because I would find it incredibly hard to eff up a wedge of iceberg lettuce. I hate to give this a bad review because people seem to enjoy it. But I really like to eat and I ate about only half my food.

Stopped by this evening to enjoy some great Italian food. However, they seemed to be in the middle of a team meeting at 6:20 on a Saturday night. There was no notice or sign about the closure so I'm not quite sure what is going on. If you have plans on visiting tonight, you may want to call ahead!

Tonto Bar & Grill continues to be one of my favorite restaurants in the North Valley. The food is consistently impressive. I have had multiple items including the root beer braised short ribs and various seafood items. None have disappointed. They have a few beers to choose from and full bar. The deserts menu changes seasonally and not being a big dessert guy, have to admit theirs are delicious. I highly recommend sitting on the patio near sunset. The patio is right on the golf course, but not close enough to get an errant ball. I've been there about 5 times and every time I say we should go more often.

Awesome burger place!!!! Had to check it out since all my friends said it was the bomb and OMG even my G/F was like its the best burger place she has eaten at. We ordered the chili fried chicken and it was surprisingly light for being fried. Sarah, ordered the ronin burger and i ordered the manga burger see pics. Also order honeydew boba which they make their boba from scratch. Can't wait to come back and try everything else.
