• French American • Oakland
Booked 43 times today
Butterjoint is a comfy bar and restaurant located in North Oakland. Our welcoming and eclectic atmosphere is appropriate for almost any occasion - whether it be meeting a friend for a drink, celebrating an important event, or relaxing after work. Our menu is a mixture of familiar Pittsburgh foods (think pierogies, hamburgers, French fries) and French bistro classics (beef tartare, raclette, mussels), and seasonal classics that come and go throughout the year. We put care into our vegetarian dishes too, including making our own tempeh, falafel, and veggie patties from scratch. Menu items change frequently--usually every day--and reflect many long-standing relationships we have with farms and breweries in our region. In addition to reservations, we also have a thirty seat bar that is first come, first serve. We don’t know exactly how old the bar is, but it’s at least seventy years old (probably older) and very cozy. Our friendly bartenders are here to make something you like.

    Our hostess and servers were awesome. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and friendly. The food was outstanding. The Crispy Calamari was crisp and thin with an orange sauce at the bottom and some delicious creamy sauce on top. There were a few slices of fried and crusted limes, which were delicious. I had the Seafood Tasting, which was cook to perfection and resting on a bed of pea pure and lentils al dente, which was awesome. My wife had the Ricotta Cavatelli, which was very tasty too. We shared the Carrot Cake for dessert, which was like a cake with a thin outside layer of something like a cheese cake and the carrot cake inside with crispy walnuts. The bill was surprisingly reasonable. We will most definitely go back when we return to Pittsburgh.
