This is the second time that we ate here (see my prior review), this time before the Monday night Steeler game. I thought it would be jammed, but only a few tables were occupied. The menu has changed. We had light fare, soup, salad, etc. I can say it was good, although the grilled cheese was just that: a hunk of gouda, grilled with crostini. Good but a bit disconcerting when you were expecting a sandwich. I had the bolognese with pappardelle and it was very good. Would I go here if I wasn't staying at the hotel and this wasn't a convenient, easy place to eat on a cold, rainy, windy evening? No. I think they are trying too hard to make this something that it can't be. It feels pretentious. They'll never attract people from outside the hotel to this restaurant given the location. What the hotel needs is a good bar that serves good bar food and downhome Pittsburgh basics. How about some perogies and keilbasa? I think they'd pack the place.
