This place is definitely 10 stars out of 10. I have been to many restaurants and can say this place is 100% recommended. I would visit again for sure. From apps to desserts, everything was non-forgetable. Thank you for great food!
This place is oh so cute. Be warned, you definitely need a reservation because it's small inside. From the cocktails to the apps to the main dish, everything we got was so delicious. I really loved the fish we got and the soup was very very good too. A perfect date spot or friend date spot with the girls.
Lilith is an absolute gem. From the service to the atmosphere to the food, everything was phenomenal. Tucked away on a backstreet and only enough room for a few tables, just eating at Lilith makes you feel cool and “in-the-know.” Holly, our server, expertly guided us through our experience. Highlights for us included the bread service, the tuna tartare, and the spaghetti. I don’t say this lightly, but this spot is a must-visit.
I had one of the best birthday dinners here! I came with my boyfriend and there isn’t a single negative thing to say about our dinner experience. Our waiter was wonderful and the food, drinks, and dessert were amazing. We will definitely visit again to celebrate special occasions or even just for a date night
An amazing dinner for a special occasion (or just because). The staff was amazing and blew us away for a birthday celebration with small touches of their hospitality. Such a cool atmosphere and if you consider yourself a foodie you must check it out. What we had: house made focaccia [so soft] with whipped ricotta and butter, Japanese sweet potato [crispy outside & fluffy inside; could eat for every meal], spaghetti, beef filet [the guava jus and plantain puree were a unique and flavorful tandem], pistachio cake [just phenomenal; this was a new dessert item but it has to stay as it was a showstopper!] Next time we will probably get mostly small plates [with at least 2 Japanese sweet potatoes] and obviously to finish with the pistachio cake!
Charming, cozy, and full of flavor. Menu changes seasonly (this is a late review for my visit in Jan). We ordered the blue cheese sformato, lobster rolls, Japanese sweet potato, striped bass, and the beef fillet. 4 stars for food is really personal biased here because the Japanese sweet potato didn't surprise my stomach and the beef filet is less tender. Bass and the baked Alaska dessert are the must have. The bearnaise sauce is my favorite.
Even in a city as restaurant gifted as Pittsburgh, this is a beautifully curated gem! As others mention, it is a small venue so definitely make a reservation. We went for my birthday and from the moment that they greet you at the door, it’s ...
Cute little restaurant with limited and very close together seating. I wouldnt call it cozy, id say cramped- pushed together, and loud. However, they also have about half a dozen tables outside and space heaters for those chilly nights. An added plus for cooler evenings, they have lovely throws for those dining outside. Between the heater and the throw, the 55 degree cool evening didnt seem that cool. The food was delicious. The skewer steak was so tender, the meat melted in my mouth. The split pea soup was very good as well. A lot of food-the portions were very hearty. The pistachio buttercream chiffon cake was the perfect ending to a very delicious meal.
