Best Cozy Restaurants in Mt. Lebanon

Made my birthday experience so special! I loved it! Food was amazing and our waitress was amazing!! Thank you :)

We were in the new room upstairs and all the way in the back. It was a little noisy because of party near us and the acoustics of the room. Felt a little out of the vibe of the restaurant which was why we were there for my daughter’s birthday- her pick. We had burrata and bread board which was yummy. I had the short ribs which were amazing. My husband had the beef special and my daughter had pasta with grilled chicken. They weren’t thrilled with their picks - I think because mine was so good. Our dessert was amazing and so good. It was a chocolate bomb of goodness. Our waiter was a bald friendly guy who was wonderful and is a really great asset and cheerleader for your restaurant. Sorry I’m horrible with names but he deserves a raise. I would definitely recommend and can’t wait to see what amazing things this group has for 2025!

Otaru is a must for anyone looking for a great dining experience! I chose this place for my wife's birthday. It exceeded our expectations in every way. We had the yellow tail and pork boa for appetizers , then followed it up with the Otaru course. The hot meal we ended with was the udon beef which Randy (waiter) split in separate bowls for us to share. Randy even surprised my wife with a little birthday cake and together we sang her happy birthday. Randy made our first experience here unforgettable. From the beginning to the end it was flawless and we can't wait to come back again !

I didn’t know Carmella’s had brunch! And now that I know, I will be back. It was busy, the food was good, and the service was excellent. I had the Carmella’s brunch plate with sausage, eggs, fruit and waffles. Fun and it was an excellent sampler of other things on the menu. We were going to a matinee at the City Theater so it was a great first stop.

The menu isn't extremely long, but the food is creative and excellently prepared. We had a new version of their chicken dish and I had the burger which was off the menu. Both were excellent. We also had wedge salad and beef tartar, all worthwhile.
