    Eleven is definitely always one of my favorite and I am certainly come back. For this visit on Sunday night, all the dishes were outstanding. However, the only thing I gave 3 points was service. The timing between salad course and entree was longer than normal. Also our server seemed forget about us as he passed by the table 3 times but never stop to check in with us when we finished all the entrees. Also a long waiting for the desserts, it tooks 15mins for the dessert to hit the table.

    Still doesn’t disappoint. If I could change anything it would be that we’re not rushed as much. Place is small and they want to make sure they can turnover in time.

    Our first experience will not be our last! We live a few hours away and planned a weekend getaway. Everything from the ambiance, service, and food was impeccable! Check in and valet were seamless. Sitting on the swings waiting to be called to our table was a total vibe! We were seated below the bar right at the entrance. At first I had really wished we were upstairs but the food and ambiance made me forget right away! We started with the bread board appetizer which was delivered by one of the managers, Shakur. This impressed me because he was interacting with the guests and you could tell he wanted to make sure our experience was satisfactory! The breads were delicious and the spreads were perfect compliments! I had the haddock and my husband had the lobster mac and cheese. We were expecting small portions for the fine dining price—we were WRONG! We were shocked at how much food arrived and we had to box up a big portion of everything (appetizer, meals, dessert) that we ordered. To finish, we had to order the Pittsburgh cookie table! Were the cookies the best cookies we’ve ever had? No. Am I still glad we ordered it? Absolutely! I especially liked the heart shaped cookies. They were delicious! I must try brunch next!

    Our server, Meaghan, was terrific as usual, and she made an outstanding wine recommendation. The jámon Serrano with almonds and the scallops crudo were superb. Fun experience once again.
