I checked it out with three other friend the other day. The food was pretty good. Portions were good. We shares some finger food and a sandwich each.The bill came to short of $40 (with a few beers.) The menu is a little bit thin, but in total, it was a pleasant experience. Ken Three Forks + (out of five forks)

Cafe Mimi
hi -went to Cafe Mimi on Bradock Ave. for the first time last night. It used to be highly reccommended - but was practically empty. does anyone know what is going on?? Our dinners were so-so - good steak, good eggpalnt but burned ribs, half-baked potatoes, boring rolls with garlic bread stuck in the basket (not sure if the bread was a special order) and limp lettuce salad with one slice of cuke and one pale grape tomato and lots of onions. We mentioned the poor food quality and the waitress said she would tell the chef. No extra napkins came with the ribs and no offer of second cups of coffee was made until we asked. The waitress said the owners were the same. We certainly will not be returning. Lois
Have you been disappointed with the Steelhead Grill, or Pittsburgh Fish Market, or Sunnyledge, or Cafe Allegro, or even Tessaro's? I'll put Tram's and Road To Karrakesh and Davio on the list too. There are still a few places to eat that are consistently great, some of which are new. Someone wrote: > Thanks Lois: > > Good to get consumers ratings on these places.
