40 North At Alphabet City - Pittsburgh

I have visited this restaurant for the second time and it exceeded my expectations once again. I appreciate the unique cocktail selection and top-notch service. This establishment is one of my preferred destinations in Pittsburgh for a high-end dining experience. The ambience is upscale yet inviting, making it suitable for both special occasions and casual nights out. The daily printed menus showcase the origin of each ingredient used in your meal. We were well attended to and thoroughly impressed with our dishes, particularly the rainbow trout and half chicken.

I had a fantastic brunch experience at this restaurant. As a non-drinker, I loved that they had a variety of mocktails on the menu. It was tough to decide between the delicious appetizers and main dishes, as there were so many interesting flavor combinations to choose from. The borscht and spaetzle were standout dishes. The service was top-notch. I can't wait to return for brunch and also sample their dinner menu in the future.

Located in a cozy contemporary setting, 40 North is the perfect spot to meet with friends. The food is exceptional and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. During our girls brunch, we enjoyed a bottle of Crémant du Jura, a delicious champagne-like drink. I couldn't decide on an entree, so I opted for some starters including toad in a hole and pumpkin soup, both of which were tasty. After our meal, we stayed to enjoy the atmosphere and had drinks at the bar. The bartenders were helpful in explaining the cocktail options, and they even created custom drinks for us. My friend had a refreshing ginger lemonade, while another friend tried the Radio cocktail, a unique take on an espresso martini. I indulged in an Irish coffee, expertly made by the bartender. I highly recommend 40 North for its great food, ambiance, and service. Plus, it is connected to Alphabet City, a business with a bookshop and event space that offers entertainment like poetry readings and music.

This is a very special place and I enjoyed going here. However, I got the roasted mushrooms with rice cakes and the broth was so salty that I actually struggled to eat it and everything on the plate turned soggy almost immediately. My fiance got the falafel which was amazing though, some of the best beets I've ever had. Service was really nice!

Hidden gem! Great service and food. Had the lamb and trout and both were amazing. Will come back for brunch!
