   Food and service was excellent! I would highly recommend Spoon for an elevated take on classic food.

   The positives include nice ambiance, good cocktails, and delicious chicken saltimbocca. However, the restaurant did not live up to the 4-5 star reviews I saw here for many reasons: the bread was excessively hearty (perhaps stale) and served with ricotta and a bit of olive oil which was very bland; the borata came with a lovely mix of olives, peaches, prosciutto and tomatoes, but neither the peaches not tomato were ripe and the whole thing had been refrigerated so it came quite cold (bad for both the cheese and tomato); the Bolognese was bland; the saltimbocca came with 2 piecs of chicken, but only one was topped with prosciutto and parmesan, the other was completely plain; and the server very inattentive even though the restaurant wasn't busy. Overall better than many of the Italian restaurants in Pittsburgh, but that speaks more to the number of old, sorry Italian restaurants in the city and not to the quality of this one. I wouldn't recommend and won't return.

   We had not been back to Spoon for a long time. We very much enjoyed our sophisticated meal. We had wine and interesting gin cocktails followed by a winter salad and a takeoff of sushi with crabmeat wrapped in tuna with a wasabi cream sauce. The bread basket was wonderful with a variation of cornbread, biscuits, and baguettes. The shellfish stew had more mussels and shrimp than I have ever had in a similar dish of bouillabaisse and cioppino, with more vegetables and less garlic. My wife had the chicken with a mushroom stuffing, which was surprisingly excellent, her choice being made on her limited palate. We were very full and chose coconut ice cream with chocolate chunks and raspberry sorbet. Our only complaint is that the menu always has a lot of interesting idiosyncrasies. That printed online does not reflect the evening’ s menu, explaining my wife’s choice of chicken. It would be helpful if an up-to-date menu were available so there are no surprises for those who have specific tastes.

   Had a great meal with friends. We all enjoyed the food, drinks and ambiance . My only criticism is that the wine pour was small and the cocktails were as well!!

   Food was well prepared and presented. At the time we ate there were very few other customers -- a Tuesday night about 7 PM. The staff was suitably attentive.

   The food is great, the service is great. A nice place to take a date. The bar is nice for eating alone or with a friend. The Bartenders are knowledgable. I wish the lighting was better. It's usually too brightly lit, but overall it's a good dining out experience.
