Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Shadyside

Great food and atmosphere, especially pretty looking out at city still decorated for Christmas. Enjoyed the grilled oysters, romaine salad, sea bass and surf n turf. Shout out to our server Erin for her attentiveness and pleasant demeanor. She even surprised us with a crème brule on her once she learned we were celebrating our anniversary. One note, the access to the restaurant right off the parking garage is very convenient and typically no need to valet. That said, EM no longer validates parking. Steelers playing in town tonight so wound up paying premium parking fee. Probably would have been better off had we used the valet. Oh well… will check next time if special events rates are posted.

I have heard great things about Morcilla so my wife and I made reservations for our anniversary dinner. We were not disappointed in the food, drinks, atmosphere or service. All were top notch. It was a great experience and we'd go back again to try more items from the menu. Morcilla is a great option for a date night, or just having dinner with a few friends.

We took my mom to Golden Gai for her birthday. She loved it and had a great time. We were happy to find the foods that we loved so much in Japan earlier this year. The shrimp tempura was our favorite. The shrimp were huge and we loved the sauce that went with them. So flavorful! We also really enjoyed the gyoza (dumplings), spicy tuna roll and udon noodles with chicken. While we were dining, we were talking about the dishes we had and asking questions about things that were slightly different. The sushi chef heard us and told us more about the food and why it was done the way they do it. It was very interesting and he seemed like a great guy. There were so many good dishes and drinks on the menu that we’ll definitely be back to try more things.

Overall a highly satisfying experience. Had the steak, duck, and several cocktails all were excellent. This staff has high standards and it shows in their work. We will be back soon.

Great food and good service. Well taken care of and out in an hour on a Saturday night. Cocktails were very well made and Vegan options were offered for my wife. Will be back!
