Recommended by my stylist at Pageboy (do check them out). I'm in my discovery phase since moving to Pittsburgh and what a nice find! \n\nThere are two bars, one on the first level and one upstairs. I dined at the bar upstairs. I had all the intent in the world of ordering sushi. In fact, my mouth had been watering for a good spell while sitting in the stylist's chair. However, upon perusing the menu, tapas caught my eye. Darn! I wanted both but how could I scarf everything down? Sigh... dilemma to resolve. Ok... I decided on tapas and will just have to return for sushi another day. That works.\n\nI consulted with my bartender/server who, among his recommendations, recommended the rock shrimp tacos and the pork cheek quesadillas. I selected those two, as well as the ceviche which first caught my eye. To drink, I ordered the regular mojito, my new found beloved drink. \n\nI was pleased, very pleased, or should I say my stomach, ruler of what is good or not, was pleased. The rock shrimp tacos come with margarita foam on top (which stays on top throughout -- how is that?) and were messy to eat but I didn't care they were so good. The surprising part was that they were quite spicy, Didn't expect that but loved them. Pork \"cheek\" quesadillas were very tasty. I just had to get over the \"cheek\" part. And the ceviche? I think I loved that best. it was served on crackers/wafers and satisfied the pit of my stomach, thank you very much.\n\nThe bill for 3 tapas and my mojito came to a price just under $40. I was happy; that's the price I would have paid for sushi. Not cheap by any means, but the service, food, and atmosphere were conducive to me not minding the fare.
