text: The BF and I had been itching to try Bistro 19, and the $30 Fixed-Price Meal offered during Pittsburgh Restaurant Week was the perfect incentive to join the Real Housewives of Mt. Lebanon for a tasty night out.\n\nLet me start by saying the food was delicious, but I was really blown away by my yummy beverage.  For the life of me, I can't remember what is was called, and Bistro 19 doesn't have their cocktail list on their website (I think b/c it's rotating).  Suffice it to say, it was strong and delicious, a fruity variation of a martini with vodka.  Their wine list is EXTENSIVE, too, so this is def. a place to drink and dine.\n\nI started with the Pan-Seared Scallops for my first course.  There were only two scallops (bummer, b/c I LOVE scallops).  Tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. @Curtis G's first course, the braised pork mac & cheese was much more plentiful, and full of baked cheesy goodness.\n\nI had the Roasted Lamb Gnocchi for my main entree - the lamb was seasoned well and def. had that slow-roasted taste.  What the first course lacked in size, the entree made up for; I could barely handle all the lamb/gnocchi goodness!\n\nDessert was also included as part of the Fixed-Price Meal and was A-OK.  I don't think I can give dessert a fair review, as I was soooo stuffed from my entree and delicious martinis.\n\nSo, why 4 stars?  I just can't imagine making a special trip to Mt. Lebo to go back.  I thoroughly enjoyed the food, the prices were reasonable, and we experienced good service.  With so many excellent restaurants in the city, I don't think I'd make the drive back out (yes, I'm a city snob!).  If I'm in that area for some unknown reason, I would for sure go back.  If I lived there, I'd join the Mt. Lebo locals often.
