We shared a bunch of appetizers and small plates, rather than having a main. Every plate was incredible and delicious. Bar service is always top notch too. Love this place.

I had an excellent experience at The Vandal and have already recommended to others. The special martini service was fabulous, the duck entree over French toast was both original & exceptional. All of the servers were highly proficient and friendly. The noise was deafening in this small but intimate restaurant. I look forward to going back on a future trip to Pittsburgh.

All the food was fantastic! the new Sea Trout dish was very pretty and tasty! the Toffee cake with salted caramel sauce and Ice Cream was out of this world. Tasty wines and excellent service.

Two complaints: It's really LOUD, so hard to carry on a conversation without yelling. Secondly, we were disappointed at the wine list, specifically the lack of reasonably priced bottles of wine. Otherwise, loved the creative menu, food, and service.
