"I made a reservation for an early dinner this evening to celebrate my daughter's 20th birthday. She had never been to Cafe Central, but she had heard me talk about it several times. We were seated promptly and served our water and tea. We decided on two appetizers: the Grilled Portobello Mushroom and the Grilled Fried Calamari. Both were excellent and the spicy sauce on the calamari was great. For dinner, my daughter ordered the Maple Leaf Duck Breast and I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass. The presentation was spot-on gorgeous on both entrees. The duck was cooked to an absolutely perfect medium rare and the fish was easily among the best I've ever had. We each sampled the other's entree and agreed that both were absolutely delicious. After dinner, the server brought out a wonderful Tres Leches Cake with a Birthday sparkler atop a specially decorated plate. He graciously offered to take a couple of Birthday photos, which I will treasure. The food, service, and ambience all made for a wonderful birthday celebration."

"It was our first time eating here. It started out great, every employee was very nice. For some reason our waiter just stopped attending to us and I could hear him conversating with the tables around us. Very disappointed about my experience here. Waited forever for a refill on our drinks and food and the waiter never even bothered to ask how the food was knowing that was our first time there. First and last. Btw, the hybrid steak was very tough from it being 90% gristle. I should've known it was wrong when I was told it's kind of like a hybrid steak. Which was the waiter's recommendation btw."

"Baltaire is an exceptional experience. The space and ambiance are amazing. Staff and management on point. They do American Steakhouse they way it should be done. Mac n Cheez is best in city. Everything in shareable portions which is great for party of 4 or 6. Plenty of space so you feel quite private even though there are many people in the massive dining hall. King Crab Louie and Lobster Cobb were 5 star as well as the delicious crispy fries. Meat, Meat, Meat is the way to go and they have what you need to succeed! Perfectly seared, charred, and temperature correct. The quality is supreme with beautiful marbling producing flaky, juicy bites. If more is needed, there’s cheese. One of best cheese selections in the city, an oft overlooked but wonderful way to finish off that 2nd bottle. Do yourself a favor and get the beignets for dessert."

"For the price of steak it should have been perfectly cooked. My steak was over boiled and the taste was only dirty. Cheesecake tasted like it had been in the refrigerator for a while and not fresh. Waiter was excellent, but unfortunately the food was overpriced and simply blazed."

"I had a reservation of 4:30. I had to wait for a table until 5:00. there was no compensation for these inconveniences. my waitress taylor was great. she made the unpleasant experience tolerable with her wonderful feeling of the venerable and incessant desire to please me from any obstacle beyond her control. taylor is the reason why I don't have an even lower rating."

"Ruth Chris food is always very good and a bit over priced for my liking. The two complimentary soups (Jambi and lobster bisque) didn’t meet the taste standard. Both tasted like a pre-made or a box soup with a strong artificial after taste. Overall good. The Mac and cheese is very good."

"Just went here the other night and it was delicious. The waiter was very helpful with suggestions on the menu. We started out with an appetizer that was a fried egg plant stacked with lump crab meat, fried green tomato, followed by more crab meat. I would have never tried anything like this, but the waiter suggested it and I'm really glad I listened. The steak was also the best I have ever had. I got the porter house and the fillet side almost melted in my mouth. It is a pricey place, but you get what you pay for. It's an absolute must for people that an occasional fancy dining experience."

"Made reservations on OpenTable to celebrate my husbands birthday. When we arrived, there was no wait time however, Our table seating was horrible. Seated Right next to the kitchen and in the midst of placing and picking up orders. Requested another table and informed that there were none available. We were sent at this small table that most of our belongings were not able to fit.The Pho appetizer was delicious however revived almost cold. We placed two appetizer orders and had to request pick up for both. Being seated next to the kitchen, we knew that our food was ready before our server. The noise level was terrible. We could hear conversations from all ends of the restaurant. The food was very good and tether expensive. Our bill was about 388 for my husband and I. The service charge was 60 dollars, which was not warranted. Nice decor however the seating made it impossible to enjoy. Probably will not return."

"Our drinks were great and our waitress was very nice and efficient. Our appetizers were delicious but our meals were all just ok. The rolls were not very fresh on the sandwiches and the steak frites was on the small side for the price. Fun afternoon tho"

"It is unusual to find lamb shank in Pittsburgh. Spoon's is excellent literally falling off the bone at a touch of the fork. The accompanying risotto was exceptional creamy and lightly flavored. The General Tso's cauliflower was a knock out I want to make it at home! I was a disappointed in the pavlova; the shell was too hard and didn't care for the curd or the cranberries. Stick with the classic fresh fruit and whipped cream :"

"We showed up 30 minutes early to a reservation and we’re told we could stand by the bar (since there were no seats available) or sit in the lobby until the table was ready. We went back by the bar and there were at least 5 tables open, but we had a drink and waited. Then when we received the text that the table was ready (literally at the time of our reservation, not minute earlier), we were seated at the open table we were standing by for 30 minutes. Seems like they’re trying to create an illusion of exclusivity because when I booked the reservation the night before, there were tables available at every 15 minute interval the whole night. Otherwise food was good and ambiance was top notch. Probably wouldn’t come here again though."

"Jerry's is a fantastic neighborhood bar and café located in Northern Liberties. The food is amazing, the service is friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is laid-back and inviting. We decided to visit for Easter Sunday brunch and had a lovely experience. In addition to the tasty food, they offer a variety of brunch drinks. My wife enjoyed a mimosa made with Prosecco, while I savored a rich and flavorful espresso martini. A special bonus was the live jazz music performed by a bass guitar duo, which added to the already enjoyable morning."

"From entering the staff were very pleasant, wished my daughter happy birthday before we were seated. My server was wonderful. Explained the preparation of the dishes and interacted with us throughout the service. the manager came by to check on when and I had a dish redone due to the salt content. it was a beautiful experience"

"Was told this was the best steakhouse in Alton Illinois. So we gave it a shot. Children got a kids cheese pizza, and for $6 each the quantity and quality was pretty good, 5/5. Wife and grandmother got the shrimp scampi, both said it was kinda bland, but it is just a garlic butter sauce so I can see that. Shrimp was kinda light for the shrimp to pasta ratio, but enough pasta for two that was for sure, 4/5. I had the 6oz pepper loin with loaded baked tater. Potato was great in size, pepper loin might of been a light 6oz but plenty in flavor. Ordered a med got med well. Now the reason for the only 4stars. Noticed on ticket, we were up charged for things that were supposed to be included like strawberry vinaigrette, $4upcharge but was supposed to be included. And a 2.75% credit card fee. Kinda odd. I run my own business and don’t have to charge cc fees to cover just odd. Especially with no notice. Atmosphere is nice, but after 6pm seems to get rather loud, couldn’t hear the person two seats to my left without them yelling. Overall, wed give it another go, just withdraw cash first."

"Service here is phenomenal because they treat you with so much respect. The filet is juicy, tender, and is probably the best steak in the country. The creamed spinach and Caesar salad are delicious as well. First class restaurant and has New Orleans roots with the founder!"
