Pittsburgh - Eating & Drinking - Restaurants - American
I have never in my life had anything referred to as "deconstructed" in a restaurant, it's one of those haughty-taughty terms that are reserved for people who also drink "molecular cocktails" and don't buy wine in a box. However! My first deconstructed food was the s'more dessert at this fine establishment, accompanied by their Vouvray (okay, I can be a tiny bit fancy sometimes) and I was in absolute chocolate and wine heaven. I would have to say, it was the second best dessert I've ever had in my lift (first place was a bananas foster in Nassau at the Radcliff) and a week later, I am still thinking about it.
The seating arrangements are great with the long, communal tables and stools. If you find you are a bit stiff or need a comfy chair when you dine, it's probably not going to work the best for you. The whole place feels like one of those super modern Scandinavian houses you see in Dwell perched on the side of a glacier...except it's perched next to an auto repair shop, which doesn't seem to matter once inside. Very impressed with the menu (which I didn't try, but will when I go back!) and the service was non-pretentious and friendly.
