    The food was so good but $30 with tip for a salad with chicken that should have been 2x the size - wouldn’t do it a second time.

    Great neighborhood gem! Good food, excellent drinks, friendly service. I'm pretty sure we ordered one of everything and it was all delicious. Amanda is the best cocktail creator/server and knows her stuff! Their chef definitely takes pride in his menu. Can't wait to come back again!

    The food that we had was very good, I had eggs benedict and my wife had the chicken skillet, and we both really enjoyed them. The hostess was very friendly and made sure that we were seated quickly. The server that we had, when she was with us, was very pleasant. There were times, however, that we sat with empty glasses for the better part of 10 minutes. Kind of a shame too, because the Bloody Maria that I had was extremely good. I ended up getting a second one, but not until after quite some time had passed. We would definitely go back, but would hope that the servers would be a little more attentive.

    Waited over an hour and half for a basic brunch after I seated . After a hour of waiting was told multiple times it would be a few mins. Ended up leaving 30 mins after that with no food.

    We had a wonderful meal here, the restaurant was loud, but we got a table outside, which was lovely. Our server Breton (sp?)was delightful and helped us with a menu. She was knowledgeable about the chef and the food and was really enthusiastic about both. The meatloaf was excellent and so was the pasta with leeks, corn and mushrooms. My casamigos margarita was just right! We will go back for sure.

    We had a great experience at Bonfire, our first time eating there. The food was great especially the flatbreads and the meatballs, the service was awesome. Bonfire has a great vibe, definitely recommend heading there before a concert, for some apps and drinks.

    Cheese fries were the absolute best fries I've ever had, white pizza, burger, crispy potatoes, hanger steak - all excellent. The meatloaf was way way way too salty. The staff was eager to replace it but I had filled up on appetizers so my husband finished my delicious steak, and was happy to do it.

    We had a beautiful window seat, a welcoming and knowledgeable waitress who granted our every wish, and music that kept us feeling as upbeat as the jazz! The restaurant week menu was hard to choose from but sharing was actually encouraged! We would recommend everything we ate because each was a unique, tasty medley: baba ghounash toast-love those grilled grapes!; roasted Brussels sprouts whose accompaniments brought new flavors to these baby cabbages; the meatloaf had a surprisingly new kind of herby/earthy taste (exquisite!) and the salmon with watermelon salad was meticulously prepared to be one complimentary bite after the next. Portion sizes were perfect, so we could have the yummy, honey olive oil cake annd really great coffee. We waited for nothing, but when we two great friends could, we were able to whisper and laugh loudly. We’re sending everyone here!

    We arrived a few minutes prior to our reservation and were seated immediately. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Fun drink menu with some surprise twists available (alcohol kombucha drink that one of our party really enjoyed.) We ordered appetizers that were delish and all four of us really enjoyed our main courses. Cool ambiance. Definitely recommend and would go back again. This was our first time in Pittsburg and the first restaurant we ate at in town. They did the Steel City proud!

    We chose Bonfire after hearing a recommendation from a friend and liking the variety on the menu (husband is a meat-and-potatoes kind of guy). The vegetables were the star (at least in the meals we chose), and I enjoyed all of the various textures in my meal (salmon). Our server was phenomenal, and the vibe of the restaurant was professional yet relaxed. Perfect.

    Bonfire’s brunch is impressive. The menu isn’t extensive but there is something for everybody. Every dish (even the starters) have a simple but unique twist to it you won’t find anywhere else. The quality of the food is excellent. This is the kind of food that feels like each dish was prepared for you and not prepared ahead of time for 150 people. My mom, who is rather picky, rated the Eggs Benedict as the best she’s ever had in the city. The Crispy Brussels Sprouts are awesome. The drinks have unique twists, too. The service was friendly & attentive without it being overbearing. The single glass wine 🍷 pours were a little more conservative than they should be for the price, but that’s the only thing constructive we have to say. Reservations are best. There are 2 floors with two different vibes. The first floor is more lively, but loud. Outdoor seating is available. The second floor is nice for bigger groups or a less loud atmosphere than the first floor, but watch your step. The tight spiral staircase - you can easily trip on. Overall, a great dining experience I wish there were more in Pittsburgh. Bonfire is s gem worth trying!

    Really outstanding food here. Made a last second reservation on a Saturday and was not disappointed. Wedge salad was probably the best I’ve ever had, not just the typical boring slab of iceberg drenched in blue cheese.
