 Went there a couple of years ago was good, but not great.  Since it is a
 long drive for us we have not been back.  However if I was in the area I
 would stop.

 We were there once. I agree. The food was good, but not great.
 The beer selection was better than average (there were perhaps
 20-30 different beers available), which was nice. We'll probably
 go there again sometime, though I tend to avoid driving out that
 way because the traffic (and traffic lights) between Mt. Lebanon
 and Pleasant Hills is awful.

 The best place in the area for sea food, from reports I've heard,
 is at the Steelhead Grill in downtown. I haven't yet eaten dinner
 there myself. However, we had some friends from Boston and
 Washington, who have eaten at quite a number of good restaurants
 in both places, say that the Steelhead was the best hotel
 restaurant they'd ever seen.

 I love that place, best and cheapest clams and mussels anyplace.

 I was there last summer - it was awful.  Funny smell as you walked in.
 Had a special lobster dinner. I had a choice of steamed oysters which I
 never heard of - but the waitress said everyone loved them.  didnt want
 to take the chance so went with something else.  All i remember was that
 the only thing good was a fresh ear of corn.  couple in the next booth
 ordered the crabs and said they were inedible and left.  Would not
 recommend it.

 >thanks for all your comments about baltimore house.

 My comments would seem to be all too much like just about everyone else's.  For
 years, after passing by the restaurant or after seeing the restaurant's ads on
 cable, my wife or I would, invariably, say, "We have to try that place!".
 Years of anticpation were smashed within moments of walking in.  The place did
 smell.  (I kept looking for a restroom nearby!!!)  The food was luke warm and
 bland.

 We have never even CONSIDERED returning.

 Cute building, though...

 Visit the seafood restaurant in Heidelburg....

 Would that be Wright's Seafood Inn to which you're referring? If so,
 that's an excellent suggestion. Definitely one of my fave Pgh seafood
 purveyors, and they're in the Entertainment book.

 BTW, standard disclaimers apply. I'm not affiliated with them in any way
 other than being a satisfied customer.
