Reviews for North Shore Tavern in Pittsburgh, PA
I was expecting bar food but this was much better. We had a petite fillet and the salmon. Cooking them on the stone added a fun... aspect to the meal. Both were excellent quality. I wasn't expecting the brocoli slaw to be spicy but I liked it. Definitely agood last minute find for a couple of out-of-towners. Read more
Soooooo slow, BUT... lunch crowd had just cleared out. We had to wait for a table to be bussed to be seated. The food was... really good. Broccoli Pepper salad was different and I will definitely look for a copycat recipe. I was never brought drinkrefil, but Hubs was brought one. Read more
I?d give North Shore Tavern more stars if I could. I?m already looking forward to the next time I eat there. We actually tried... to make reservations before our show next month, but sadly the Pirates play that day and the post game reservation blackouteliminates our dining window. The food is amazing - especially if you?re sick of restaurants overcooking your steak and/orseafood. Your food never gets cold and you control how much it cooks (you?re given a side plate to move your food so it doesn?tcook more than you want). All the food was seasoned very well. Between the 3 of us, we had steak, salmon, scallops, shrimp,salads, beer, hard cider, & wine. Everyone loved their meals. The service was wonderful. Our waitress, Alisha Y., was great.She didn?t hover too much, but never left us waiting for anything. Her timing was perfect. I can?t recommend this restaurantenough. If you like steak and/or seafood, you must eat there!! Read more
Love the ambiance, love the steak! The North Shore Tavern serves steaks on a hot stone, so you cook it to your desired doneness.... My hubby and I shared the 14 oz Way - which was absolutely delicious. The drinks are quite strong - we had the Line Drive and aWild Pitch Old Fashioned. Oh, also try their broccoli salad on the side. You won't be disappointed. Read more
Wonderful atmosphere, comfortable and open. Ordered a cheeseburger medium and it was spot on. The beer selection was good with... local brews. But the highlight of visit was the server-Nyil-he made this out of towner feel at home. He was friendly andattentive. If you think good service is dead go see NYIL-his smile alone is worth at least a 20% tip! Read more
Phenomenal! Absolutely one of the best steak eateries I?ve been to! Home of the steak on a stone, you cook your steak to your... liking! Smoked pork nachos are huge and a meal itself! Delicious!!! 5 Stars!!! Also highly recommend the broccoli salad for aside. Read more
I?m giving this an overall 5 star rating because the food was on point (I got the fillet and shrimp, ceasar salad, and spicy... potato?s). We ordered the pretzels for an appetizer and they came with two dipping sauces (brown mustard and beer sauce). Theyonly filled the beer sauce up halfway while generously giving the brown mustard. We requested more of the beer sauce and wascharged a $1.00 for another half cup of the 1 ounce cup it was served in. Our server wasn?t that great and truly lacked inattention to details and responsiveness to our table. However, the hostess, Salem, did not disappoint whatsoever and reallyneeds to transition to being a server because she was top notch and we really appreciated her conversation, polished,professionalism she brought to our table. We felt she deserved the bigger portion of the tip we left because she did themajority of the work. Read more
Overall, a they have very unique serving style of the food, and it was a cool experience. I got the salmon served on the hot... stone, and it was neat to let it cook, but overall very lacking in seasoning. The dish is served with some aioli and garlic+oildip, which helps some, but it definitely needed salt and more flavor. Same for the French fries. Salad was nice, had a ton ofsliced parmesan (a plus in my book), crisp and fresh lettuce, but the dish it was served in was not conducive to eating out of,and it was a struggle not to make a mess (I didn't dare try to mix the dressing in, and just dipped the lettuce as Iwent). Staff was friendly and attentive and the restaurant has a good atmosphere. Read more
