The service is equally amazing. The servers are attentive, knowledgeable and kind. The atmosphere is cozy but elegant. We are officially on our way to being regulars here.

    Always a pleasure to dine at DB. The service is polished and competent, the food is delicious and beautifully plated. To start, we truly enjoyed the excellent selection of breads presented. Garlicky and savory, the Caesar salad truly pleases the palate. Fried calamari, tender and lightly breaded paired with their special hot and spicy marinara, was a real winner. My filet mignon prepared Pittsburgh style ( cooked perfectly) really hit the spot. The other entree, rack of lamb, did not disappoint. Coffee and homemade DB biscotti for dessert, rounded out an amazing dinner.

    Friendly staff, very slow drinks from the bar when the dining room wasn’t even a 1/4 full. Delicious food and dedicated teamwork.
