One Night - One Dinner - Need Local's Advice

One Night - One Dinner - What would you choose? Dish Osteria, Tin Angel, Isabella, or something better. Late 30%26#39;s, with Spouse, escaping the children for the weekend, major foodies both of us. Help !



One Night - One Dinner - Need Local's Advice


Isabella%26#39;s or Grand Concourse (River Room)



One Night - One Dinner - Need Local's Advice


Cafe Allegro - South Side



Bistro 19 - Mt Lebanon



Eleven - Smallman Street



Cafe Giorgio - Bethel Park



Armstrong%26#39;s - Bloomfield




still thinking....





Pittsburgh Rare - Station Square




I haven%26#39;t been there in a while, but the Hyeholde always had good food and is in an old mansion with nice grounds, so you can have a drink outside, move inside for dinner and it really is a very elegant evening. Much more of an ';event'; in itself than most restaurants are, and therefore maybe in line with what you%26#39;re looking for.





Here%26#39;s the website with reviews, directions,etc.

Of your three choices, Dish, for food and atmosphere. Tin Angel has a great view but has seen better days food-wise. Isabella is the only one of the three I haven%26#39;t been to, the view is nice and people I know have enjoyed it though none went wild about it. My other two suggestions, on the South Side, would be LePommier or Cafe Allegro. Good luck!




I love the food at Eleven.





Is Isabella on Mt. Wash? I think I was there 7 yrs ago. Dinner took 3+ hours for the tasting menu.




Thanks everyone - ELEVEN it is. Just made a reservation - will post my review next week.




ENJOY!



I go there every year for my birthday :)





If you like Ameretto, they have a really good brand called Luxardo. It%26#39;s a special order from the Liquor Store, not normally carried. Just a suggestion!




Enjoy your dinner at ELEVEN! It has a sort of cosmopolitan/hip vibe but for a older set (30%26#39;s +). I always try to go to some of the restaurants that are under the Big Burrito Company umbrella (Owners of Mad Mex, Casbah, Soba %26amp; ELEVEN). I find their meals never disappoint.





Have a cocktail in the lounge before your meal!
