Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Waterfront

My wife and I really enjoyed our dinner at Fig and Ash. The crab cake as an appetizer and the meatloaf were standouts, though honestly, the mashed potatoes with the meatloaf may have been the best bite. They were truly excellent. The brownie and ice cream was a great way to finish the meal. We are looking forward to coming back again.

Our first experience will not be our last! We live a few hours away and planned a weekend getaway. Everything from the ambiance, service, and food was impeccable! Check in and valet were seamless. Sitting on the swings waiting to be called to our table was a total vibe! We were seated below the bar right at the entrance. At first I had really wished we were upstairs but the food and ambiance made me forget right away! We started with the bread board appetizer which was delivered by one of the managers, Shakur. This impressed me because he was interacting with the guests and you could tell he wanted to make sure our experience was satisfactory! The breads were delicious and the spreads were perfect compliments! I had the haddock and my husband had the lobster mac and cheese. We were expecting small portions for the fine dining price—we were WRONG! We were shocked at how much food arrived and we had to box up a big portion of everything (appetizer, meals, dessert) that we ordered. To finish, we had to order the Pittsburgh cookie table! Were the cookies the best cookies we’ve ever had? No. Am I still glad we ordered it? Absolutely! I especially liked the heart shaped cookies. They were delicious! I must try brunch next!

BEST DINNER EVER!!! It truly was an amazing experience with wonderful food and great staff. Everything was so carefully crafted and went perfectly together. You can tell the chefs take great pride in what they do. I’ll be thinking about this meal until the next time we go back!

Our server, Meaghan, was terrific as usual, and she made an outstanding wine recommendation. The jámon Serrano with almonds and the scallops crudo were superb. Fun experience once again.

All food was excellent, nice ambiance great views. Will visit again.
