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.

    I highly recommend Monterey Bay for a special occasion. The service was impeccable and the food came in generous portions and was prepared perfectly. My wife and I were celebrating Valentine's Day and our recent marriage simultaneously and were treated like royalty. Great live music in the lounge before dinner too! It is no wonder this restaurant has been a go to place in Pittsburgh for years! Bravo!!

    We always have a great experience at 80 acres. We went for Valentine’s Day and the special menu was great and the ambiance was so nice. Always have a wonderful waitress no matter who we get. We’re so fortunate to have this restaurant so close to our house as plum does not have many great restaurants- this is definitely the best restaurant in the area. I’d definitely recommend if you want to go somewhere nicer than “bar food” or some chain restaurant but not somewhere super fancy that requires getting extremely dressed up or is stuffy. Great in between for a nicer dinner!

    We absolutely loved our food. From the starters to dessert was amazing! Our waitress was great, great suggestions, funny, silly. We really enjoyed her. We were a little disappointed that we had to wait 25 minutes after our reservation time but the good food made up for it. I was enjoying my food so much, I forgot to take pictures!

    The food (Caesar salads and Beef Wellington) was delicious. Great cocktails and wine. The server was very good and treated us well, which we appreciated, but she was also very busy and so didn’t have time to check in very often. We enjoyed our experience and would definitely recommend Meat and Potatoes.
