    Food was sort of bland and lacked any meaningful seasoning. The steak I got was not medium rare but barely cooked, and even after sending back was rare and the quality was not indicative of the $58 price. The meat was tough and flavorless. The mashed potatoes contained too much cream and lacked any flavor besides the strong dairy consistency The dessert was under-whelming and un-original. Also I found the lack of any green salad choices a bit odd. I have been to Paris many times and have never been to any restaurant without any salad choices. Gabarinos owned by same person downstairs is a solid 4 star Italian restaurant which has never disappointed. I will not be back to Twisted Frenchman ...Paris 66 Bistro is much better value for authentic French cooking. For the $200 we spent I could have gotten a much better meal at Altius, Hyde Park or Capital Grill.

    It was just what we were looking for on our kids free weekend. The food was delicious, surprising, and wonderful. The service was excellent. The only down side was that the two main dishes of the tasting menu were a tad undercooked for my taste.

    Most ambitious restaurant in pittsburgh, but misses the mark. Clearly run by someone yearning for the novelty and technical elements of a place like Alinea, but misses some basics along the way like- salting, flavor. Not a bad meal, but not anywhere near where it wants to be.

    Everything was impeccable from the food to the service to the wine. Our table was cozy and comfortable. I do recommend the six course tasting menu with wine pairings. The foie gras PB&J was amazing. The herbed mushroom consume prepared at table in a special contraption for coffee brewing was as interesting to watch as it was delicious. This place lived up to expectations for sure! This is up there with some of our top restaurant experiences!

    Tasting menu looked great but execution was poor. Excellent service, but not worth the money. Many other quality options in the same price range.
