We just had dinner at the 1902 last Friday. It was *incredibly* crowded. It took 1&1/2 hours to get our entrees. We were a bit pissed, because we felt that if they were *that* understaffed, they shouldn't have taken the reservation we called in only an hour before we got there. Also, our waitress came by our table and apologized for the delay, asking "can I get you each another drink?" We said yes, since her phrasing and tone led us to believe they were most likely compliments of the house. Wrong. An additional $20 added to the tab. I liked their house salad dressing (a bleu italian) and my entree (Chicken stuffed with lump crabmeat and spinach in a seafood sauce) was good, but that could have been because I was starving! Marcy

Expensive, tiny, and forgettable portions. We went there before a Heinz Hall concert, just because of the Entertainment card. Very disappointing. -Denis
!902 makes most of its money from lunch and their very good happy hour, almost meat market like after work business. I would never even go in this place on a Friday eve, the happy hour crowd is there for a long time. Once I saw a guy playing video poker hit a big win, and the bartender paid him cash from the register drawer, which told me all I needed to know about the 1902.......
