condimentqueen "Party in your mouth!"

What a pleasant surprise my salad was. The portion is so large they can barely close the to go container. The chicken is pleantyful and seasoned with lots of oregano (Zorba’s) just what you would expect. It is grilled and served on top of a bead of fresh greens with tomaote and cucumbers. topped with fries. The house dressing was fresh and light and added to the flavor of this classic salad. Truely an oversized portion enough to share or take home for later in the day.

This was the best value you can find in town. The burger was cooked to order on a fresh oversized bun topped with cheese lettuce tomaroe and onion and mayo. What a delight this was. For the price of McD you will savor this burger and will find yourself returning again for a quick and delicious meal.
what a value this lunch is for someone working in the city.

After our extremely long wait for service my mouth was watering for a stack of warm fluffy pancakes, I ordered the maple buttered ones which as I recall cost an extra buck for flavored butter. When the plate of 3 large pancakes arrived I was shocked that something would come out of the kitchen looking like this! The pancakes looked like 3 flat flour tortillas. Even worse they tasted like cardboard. 2 bites and back to the kitchen they went. They were credited off my bill and I ate the 2 sausage links I ordered on the side for of course an additional charge of around 3 bucks.
I feft hungry only having donut holes and sausage.

My guest ordered this mess. It was suppose to be 2 eggs any style and they were any style, what ever they felt like like throwing on the plate. It also included 2 of the cardboard torilla style pancakes which we did not touch, tater tots which were just that a tater tot (hard to screw those up) an order of bacon which was ok The true highlight was the eggs. They were ordered soft boiled for dipping toast and when the plate arrived we did not see any eggs. Hidden under the “pancake” were two little sacks or hard boiled yolk with a film of white covering them. We sent them back and the remake was ok. Just ok. Of course they did not comp this I guess since the comp’d my pancakes they did not feel the need.
I WILL NEVER GO TO BAR LOUIE AGAIN FOR BRUNCH AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU.

What a disappointment this entre was. It was so dry, even with the sparse spoonful of hollandaise sauce. The egg was so over cooked I don’t know how the kitchen could place this on top of a cold English muffin and not see that it clearly was not a pouched egg. Not a drop of liquid yolk to soak into the cold muffin. There is nothing else to say.

The Potato cake was the best. Crisp and crunchy on the outside moist and flavorful inside. This sat on top of a dinner size plate of smoke salmon thinly sliced and topped with chopped egg. red onion, capers and decorated with an aioli sauce. A meal in itself this was the appetizer leading to my brunch entre. It is big enough to share but take the time and enjoy it all by yourself.

What a nice twist to eggs Benedict. Served on grilled sour dough toast are sautéed spinach topped with perfectly cooked poached eggs. To add to it all was a braised lamb shank with an amazing sauce to replace the hollandaise sauce generally found on a Benedict type dish. If you like lamb you are going to love this breakfast entre. I can’t wait to return and take some friends and family with me to share one of the best brunch experiences Pittsburgh has to offer.

What a wonderful local fall entre this was. My venison was done to perfection. Two medallions grilled and topped with a shallot cabernet glaze melted in my mouth. Don’t be afraid of a gamey taste. You would think this was filet. The quail was so cute and small but stuffed with a spoonful of some of the best dressing I have ever eaten. It left my mouth craving for more. The entre was served with crispy fried parsnips which were just a garnish which I could have eaten a basket of these crisp little straws. The vegtable was a cinnamon spaetzle with cremini mushrooms and brussel sprouts. The spaetzle and shrooms were amazing but the sprouts were a bit under cooked and bitter for my taste. Overall, I just loved this meal and would order it again.

If you looking for something a little different this is the dish. Three thick slices of moist homemade banana nut bread is very lightly coated in an egg batter and fried to a golden brown served with maple syrup. I enjoyed the light hint of banana and the crunch of the walnuts.
The texture was fairly dense and moist and the portion so large come with a healthy appetite.

What could be more comforting than a large plate with a generous portion of corned beef hash?
The hash was moist and not a bit greasy. Topped with 2 extra large perfectly done poached eggs for dipping your toast. The breakfast was served with a choice of potatoes. I had the home fries which I really did not need since potoates are part of corned beef hash. I really enjoyed this breakfast and would recommend it to anyone who likes corned beef hash.

I could eat this salad every day. Nicely portioned, not to big (I hate salads you can’t finish since they don’t take home well) not to small just the right size meal. This salad is layered with a few French fries which are thin and crisp then topped with fresh garden greens. Next comes all the goodies…. onions, peppers and mushrooms which have been lightly sautéed al dente topped with a grilled chicken breast and shredded cheddar cheese make this salad a complete meal. Perfectly balanced this salad is big on flavor. I think my favorite part is that it is not loaded with big fat fries but has those wonderful sautéed vegetables and fresh tomatoes as the main filler. I get the creamy garlic dressing which is fantastic.

Thinly sliced and tender veal medallions were dipped in a light egg and cheese batter and gently sautéed to perfection then topped with fresh mozzarella and roasted grape tomatoes. Absolutely delicious! The risotto was amazing flavored with sun dried tomatoes it was a perfect complement to the veal. Additionally there was a sauté summer squash served which completed this meal. I also had a lovely wine flight consisting of 3 wines from different regions for 10.00. All of this served outdoors under a large oak tree, lit with tiny white lights and live entertainment made for a wonderful celebration dinner.

This was by far the best thing we ordered. There were 3-4 little pockets of cripy fried cheese, leek and potato stuffed with a rich mixture of aspargus and bacon. Anything with bacon is good but this was excellent. I wanted more and next time don’t think I will agree to share.

Light coated with a well seasoned batter the platter was full of calamari and shrimp nestled among some asparagus and fennel. It was a nice combo and was enjoyed by all. I liked the coating which was very light and let the taste of the seafood shine.

This was a special on the evening we were there. I don’t think it is always on the menu. Being tomatoe season, the salad was full of fresh tomaotes and a great variety. Yellow and striped as well as the traditional red. Laced with cheese and topped with a light O&V it was cool and refreshing.

I had rueben sandwich which was very good. It was a typical rueben but the kraut was very tasty. I would recommend this.

I tasted the bar-b-qued burger and it was great. Loaded with bacon and a tangy bar-b-que sauce. Another thimbs up.

I am sorry I ordered a salad after reading reviews and seeing the Italian fare. The chicken salad was good. It was a large portion of lettuce, and the usual garden veggies. Served with grilled chicken but what was most interesting was at the bottom of the salad were chopped beets which I adore. They also included hard boild egg which was a nice addition. There were maybe a few to many fries for my taste and they were big thick steak fries. I ordered the ranch dressing on the side. I would like to note that table next to us got the Lasagna, which looked fantastic and I have read that the chicken parmesan is suburb.
