   Scratch continues to be a go to for comfort food. Eclectic interior isn't super cozy and worked better pre-COVID. Felt safe and able to distance from other diners. Service was excellent this time.

   I have mixed feelings about this place. Let me first start by saying the service was great and they made things right. Cocktails are pretty good as well, although pricey. That aside, I feel this establishment either needs to A) Knock down their prices for food and drinks about 30% or B) up the portion size and food quality. I frequent butterjoint, Sullivans, Butcher & the Rye, Tambellinis, etc., which are all about the same price range and provide much more satisfaction. Several things missed the target at our table, and while I feel they were adequately remedied by our server, the issues take root in the kitchen and are not the servers responsibility. A 6 oz filet is not equivalent to two 2 oz pieces. All the potatoes at our table were cold, and proteins over cooked. There’s potential here, but something has to change to reach its full potential.

   First time at Scratch and it was an all around excellent experience! Food was delicious and perfect portion size. Wine was good and our server was casual but attentive. Staff were all friendly and they had a great playlist going (but not too loud). I will definitely go back and highly recommend Scratch!

   Sunday Brunch. Liked the jazz band but was a little loud and could not hear others talking. The service was just okay. Wish the servers would have been a little more attentive to the tables. The food was good, but for the price the serving portions were small.

   We had an amazing time at Scratch. Our waitress was great, so pleasant and helpful. The food was great, didn’t hear a single bad review from all nine of us. We tried almost everything on the menu between us and loved it all. Felt safe with their Covid policy. Couldn’t say enough good things about it

    Love this place. Food is amazing. Great value. Sadly last night there was only one waiter for the whole dining room meaning the service was a little slow, but the staff was still very kind, friendly and knowledgable about the menu. Seating was a little uncomfortable as we had a plastic chair and a bench seat close to the entrance and got hit with a cold draft every time the door opened. Nonetheless highly recommend this place for a nice dinner!

    We always love to patronize local, neighborhood restaurants, especially those off the beaten path. Scratch did not disappoint! It's a relatively small menu but has a surprising number of choices and many vegan and GF options. Loved the drink menu and had a great selection of wines too. Really enjoyed the ambiance and our service was top notch. Highly recommend!

    I’ve been two Scratch 5 times and am always amazed. This time I went to brunch and it was delightful- especially loved the 3 piece jazz band and the way the chef specially prepared gluten AND dairy free versions of their GF dishes for my sister’s dietary needs. This place is superb!!!!

    Food and ambiance were incredible, there was live music and the liver mousse was delicious- what more could you ask for? Easily one of the best places my wife and I have eaten at in Pittsburgh, huge kudos to the whole team at Scratch. P.S. the potatoes with feta were absolutely out of this world.

    It's my second time at Scratch after a great first experience. I was a bit disappointed with the food the second time around. The food actually tasted good, but I was surprised by the small portions. The herbed zucchini and squash was one of the smallest dishes I've ever had (it was more like an amuse-bouche). Even my fellow diners were making fun of the dish's portion. Same thing for the main dish: The Givetch was flavorful, but the size of dish was pretty small. The desserts we ordered were forgettable (the pumpkin bread and the pot de creme duo). The ambiance in the restaurant was lively and the service was excellent. However, based on the food portions only, I'm not sure I would go back again to be honest.

    Small, but creative, locally sourced food and drinks. Service was enthusiastic and friendly, but not pushy or invasive. We had the marinated olives, and zucchini and squash appetizer to start. My wife had the vegan Gevetch and I had the pork loin. We shared apple pie pierogis for dessert with French press coffee. All were excellent.
