"If you are looking for a great place to grab a drink with friends and enjoy the sites of Pittsburgh - check out Sienna Mercato!  The rooftop bar is great...it has a retractable roof that they are able to close quickly if it starts to rain.  Even with the roof closed, you can still enjoy the city line of the city.  Their drinks were appropriately priced and the top floor has typical bar food.  The 2nd floor is the main restaurant part which is where we grabbed dinner.  The food ranged from pizza to charcuterie boards to seafood.  We did not get a chance to try out the first floor, but I will definitely going back to try it out.  The first floor specializes in gourmet meatballs!"

"I really enjoyed my meal at Luke Wholey’s. The atmosphere was great, loved the large round tables for our big group. The bloody Mary’s were awesome, they were a meal in itself.  We got the oysters and the cat fish bites – both were great and you can’t beat the happy hour prices. I had the lobster bisque which was good with lumps of lobster claw meat. I had the swordfish special with lump crab meat. It was delicious. The grilled asparagus was good but I thought the potatoes were a bit heavy considering the rest of the dish.  I enjoyed the cheesecake so much I took a piece home to go for my family. Overall a great experience, the only downside was our service. Our waiter was extremely slow in taking our order, refilling our drinks and even bringing our check. The food made up for the lack of service."
