    10/10 Great meal - one of the best we've had in Pittsburgh. Right across the street from the beautiful William Penn (as if the atmosphere wasn't already perfect inside the restaurant). We ordered teanie tinis to celebrate a special day and our hostess delivered with a pair of chambongs on the house. Never had one! Super cool treat! The filet minon was tender as butter. The NY strip my wife had was juicy and flavorful. Both cooked perfectly. We have the cookie table for desert which was a huge platter with a festive tableside firework and cottoncandy. Just a super cool experience and left a huge impression on us. Service was quick and attentive. Very kind staff and felt like we were VIPs the whole time. Definitely a sexy cool hip spot for friends or date night. Don't know that I would bring my parents or any kids. This was upscale and felt fancy. I enjoyed this place more than the bougie restaurants up on Mt. Washington.

    Attention to service and detail is above par. No water glass goes empty, clean utensils with every course, and constant attention for every need. Food is presented in a beautiful manner, hot and appealing, and that first bite is so heavenly that all your focus is on that next bite. Eleven is an experience for all the senses.
