Incredible food, Incredible Service, Incredible value – My girlfriend and I just went to Cafe Sam's for our anniversary, and it was one of the top three restaurant experiences of my life. The ambiance was terrific, with a piano bar, nice decoration, and a good use of space. Our waitress was sensational. She knew the menu very well, never tried to push us to buy anything more expensive than we wanted, and always brought out the courses at the perfect time. The food was fantastic. I had angel hair with sun dried tomatoes and r... read more

A True Gem of the Steel City – Eating at this restaurant is like being on the inside of a diamond. Lovely mannequin. My grandpa was like "I don't like this one bit" and I had to prove it to him, and you know how I did that? I smiled through the whole thing. "It's gonna happen!" And it did.

A bad experience – My family and I went here when I first moved to Pittsburgh. While I found my meal to be good, other family members did not seem to think that their food was up to standard. The most striking example of this was my aunt, who ordered a fajita. The fajita was served cold, on a bed of lettuce. As you should know, one of the things that makes a fajita a fajita is that it is served warm. When this was pointed out to the server, they took it away, microwaved the fajita part, and put it back on the bed of lettuce.... read more

Great place – Fun unpretentious eatery in what appears to be an old Pgh house. Simple and elegant atmosphere. Great price fix during the week. The food is good and plentiful, if traditional. Would like to try the roof dining.

A Truly Spiritual Experience – My husband and I celebrated New Year's Eve here last year and it was an experience to remember! The menu was at a fixed price, and a very reasonable price at that! There were several choices for each course. The hardest part of the evening was deciding what to choose because everything looked amazing! We enjoyed a five-course meal that included to-die-for wild mushrooms in a French cream sauce, a seafood bisque, filet mignon cooked and seasoned to perfection, and fresh strawberry sorbet! The fo... read more

really delicious – We had pasta and the best part was we were able to choose two pasta dishes and have them both as our entree. You dont have to choose one, you choose two appetizer size pastas and have them both split in the same bowl! It was absolutely delicious! I definitly say go there- we tend to be very choosey and we were very pleased. Also we dont have a very large budget but we were able to make it work. The main course was so big we didnt need an appetizer.

A comfortable place on the fringe of the new and old. – The Scene There is an attractive bar area near the entrance, with two good-sized dining rooms beyond. The rooms are light and airy, with sufficient room between tables to maintain a civilized conversation. In addition, there is a large and very comfortable patio. Starters Or Finishers The soups and appetizers here will often make a meal. French onion soup, the homemade gravlax, and grilled vegetable quesadilla are all excellent. The spinach salad is also good. The Food ... read more
