    We really enjoyed our dinner at Siempre Algo. Chef Brian's preparation of the Short ribs entree was very tender served over sauteed spinach and a potato latke that nice & crispy. My husband enjoyed the Pork Duo served with broth & lentils served by Chef Brian. Our favorite starter on the menu is the Chicken Pate with crispy baquette. Our server, Brian was very personable and paced the dinner perfectly. We missed seeing Kimber and hope she is doing well.

    Siempre Algo is one of the best casual fine dining spots in Pittsburgh...it never disappoints. Last night was no different, so let's begin with the cocktails. I started with (after the traditional welcome bubbles as you're seated) the Crash Course and Brain Surgery that's a nuanced delight of Blackened American Whiskey, Fords Sloe Gin, pink and white peppercorn syrup, Peychaud's Bitters, orange bitters, De Pèrriere Blanc Brut, and lemon oil. Just a stunning cocktail. On to the starters and small plates. Lately I've been hooked on pork rillettes for a starter, but I decided to shake up my normal with baba ganoush for a change. The baba was so smooth and smoky, garlicky and lemony, yet the eggplant shined through elegantly. Served with a choice of a housemade demi-baguette or housemade Bavarian pretzels (or optional gluten free focaccia) and crudités, my choice was an excellent one. I decided to go light for my main course ordering the night's special, a roasted purple and orange carrot salad with pea shoots, carrot greens, and toasted pistachios (I may have forgotten some components) dressed with a ginger carrot vinaigrette. It was earthy, sweet, zesty, crisp, and zingy and so good! Dessert? Too full. But I did accompany the carrot salad with another cocktail. The Holy Mole is a hard cider cocktail using local Arsenal Fighting Elleck hard cider, Averna amaro, chili agave, lime, Bittermans Xocolatl Mole bitters. This light, gently sweet, calmly spiced and tart cocktail was the perfect pairing for the salad and to sip afterwards while perusing the backbar. Have you noticed the selection of whiskeys behind the bar?! I think it might be fun to gradually work my way through the bourbons, scotches, Japanese whiskeys, ryes and such. It might take a while though. The service was friendly and prompt, the atmosphere casual and comfortable, and the music was just the right level for the ambience of the space and easy conversation. Always a pleasure to visit.

    Everything was delicious! I was specifically interested in the Mushroom Asparagus Barley dish and was not disappointed! This is a filling dish that does not make you feel ‘stuffed’. My favorite!!

    The food was either over salted or not not salted enough. The food feels pretentious considering that it is not tasty and the food is coming out of the kitchen slowly. The waiter was friendly and came to check on us often, but the food itself was a bust. If you are used to going to high quality or authentic cuisine restaurants, don't go here. There is no cohesion between the decor, the drink menu, and the atmosphere (including music list), and the food. There is no 'vibe' to the place. You go in, eat, leave.

The portions were perfectly sized to leave us full, but not stuffed. This place felt fancy without feeling stuffy. I would happily recommend this restaurant to anyone!

    We do not eat out in restaurants very often because we are frequently disappointed in the quality of food and high princes and mediocre service. We were so PLEASANTLY surprised at how delicious the food was last evening. The service was outstanding and the place felt warm and friendly. The restaurant was 3/4 full and we were able to converse with each other easily. This is a place we want to return to over and over.

    We have dined here before and came with high expectations. While the server and bartender were the pinnacle of excellence, the food was lackluster. The liver pâté was flavorful, but hard and not easy to remove from the tureen or to spread. I had the chicken and dumplings which was a drum/thigh sitting in a thin, somewhat flavorless, ‘ chicken à la king‘ broth with a few small dumplings that didn’t measure-up to the size of the chicken portion or dish. Two of my dining companions had the crab quiche who commented ‘where’s the crab’ and that the bottom crust was hard. Dining space is inviting but the noise from the bar was annoying at times.

    We had a great evening at Siempre Algo. All of the staff are so welcoming and personable. Our server, Kirsten did a wonderful job of pacing the dinner service and explaining the menu items. We love the Chicken Liver Pate' on warm baquettes as a starter. My husband had the Porchetta served with grits & Swiss Chard--he said it was the best he has had since our last trip to Italy. I tried the grilled Bulgarian beef skewers served over tomatoes & eggplant that had so many flavors. We had Chocolate Hazelnut Torte that was so amazing and creamy. After dinner drinks at the bar with Kimber is so much fun. She is such a talented mixologist. We're looking forward to our next visit already!

    Wonderful dinner on an early Thursday - place busy, but not packed - noise level minimal so conversation was easy. Server spent a lot of time explaining options and prep details - was very knowledgeable and helpful with everything from cocktails, wines, and entrees...also fun and personable as she shared about the restaurant. Trout and special lamb entrees were excellent - fun talking to chef about all the local sourcing that contributed to the dishes (terrific house made baguettes served steaming hot also featured locally sourced flours...). Special treat was the house made earl grey tea ice cream for dessert - unique and delicious! Highly recommend.
