Always a delicious dinner. Nice seasonal menu entree changes. Meatloaf & Amish Pie dinners were excellent! The best bartenders and cocktails in Pittsburgh (we travel from 500+ miles away & always stop in when in town) old fashioned cocktail is my personal favorite. Keep it going! Bravo!

My wife and I, along with my cousin and her husband enjoyed dining at your restaurant. Both the food and service was good, as well as the drinks. Afterwards, we went next door to check a jazz set as well as had a few cocktails. Thanks

The Afternoon Tea was most delicious! Two people in our group needed special care because of their food allergies. The Omni Wm Penn chef and cook staff went all out to accommodate us. The best part was Robert! Robert was our waitstaff and he was an absolute delight! He was polite, personable and made sure we had everything we wanted. I hope to return.
