Mansions On Fifth - Pittsburgh

The restaurant was not really crowded and Brunch is self service. Records were not deleted in time. Beverages were not supplemented (the bartender began to bring coffee and water! . Most proteins were boiled and were quite dry. Vegetables were almost raw. I hope The Priory will make improvements!

We had dinner at the bar on Friday night. Not at all. Quiet place to talk. Excellent salmon and mushroom manicotti mains. Friendly and informative service. It is an exceptional house beautifully restored.

My boyfriend and I went to dinner at Manisons on Fifth during Pittsburgh 's Summer Restaurant Week. I was excited to try this place because I used to live a few blocks away and I have driven by it at least 100 times. It looks GORGEOUS from the street. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with our experience. We were off to a good start when we were greeted by the valet right out front and seated at a table for two in one of the rooms off the lobby right next to the bar. However, things quickly went downhill. Our server was nice, but not very knowledgeable about the menus (or the B&B in general). He filled our water glasses once in the beginning and then disappeared for long periods of time. When he finally came back and my boyfriend said we needed water, he gestured towards a large glass drink dispenser sitting on the bar behind us that appeared to have fruit and liquid in it, but we were never told that it was water or that we should help ourselves to refills. Our first 2 courses were fine. For entrees I ordered the crab cakes and my boyfriend ordered the lamb. My crab cakes were good, but the potatoes that came with them were uncooked. Some of my boyfriend 's lamb was okay while other pieces were rubbery and not edible. Granted we were getting Restaurant Week rates, but still. My boyfriend became upset and told the server when he finally came over to check on us. The server just stared at us and without so much as a word walked away. He didn 't offer to return my potatoes or my boyfriend 's lamb to the kitchen or anything. A little later, a manager came over and apologized. She said that everyone was new. She offered to comp my boyfriend a drink. By that point he was so upset he just wanted to leave. She then came back and said the meal would be on them. When we got the bill, they had removed my boyfriend 's meal, but not mine or my wine. Beautiful mansion, but poor service and okay food. We will not be returning and would not recommend.

Great menu for restaurant week. Very busy and service a bit slow. We will try it again.

The food was wonderful! The service, not as amazing.
