Always a treat to dine at Frick Park Tavern. I am a frequent flier there and enjoy every visit. Last night I had the stuffed banana peppers and Cardiff oaked Chardonnay. Delish!

Everyone was SO INCREDIBLY pleasant. Then, the service and food was so delicious. I had the chicken Milanese salad and it was FANTASTIC. 10/10. A totally enjoyable experience.

Where to begin? I guess I'm a bit of a foodie in that I love food, love new restaurants and new food experiences. And I'm pretty critical. But, I feel ridiculous calling myself that, and I don't have a food blog or any influencer status. So... BUT, just when you think you've had it all, along comes a new chef serving food with the same ingredients that you've had elsewhere but spinning it into something new, and that's just awe-inspiring. Full disclosure - I'm not friends with the owners, but I'm friend-LY with one of them, because I always talk to whomever is making my food and I've connected with Diana before on many occasion, discussing their other restaurants: Bird on the Run, and Muddy Waters. Both phenomenally good but for another review. Was there shortly after they opened and just went back this past weekend to take my son for his 26th birthday. I was hoping it would be as good as I remembered, because he is more snobby and critical than me, and I was looking for a home run. Here's a quick run-down: Crispy Brussels Sprouts. Yes I KNOW. But if you want to have them done RIGHT these are spectacular. They're roasted with a Maple Bourbon glaze and they serve them with some Garlic Aioli, that is delicious. Just when you were getting ho-hum about these, they change the game up. Being "fish only vegetarian" I struggle to find an entree in a lot of places. I had the spicy rigatoni and like I said earlier - stuff you already are way-familiar with, but OMG, so much better. Love this. I want to eventually try the fish & chips because it looks amazing on other folk's plates. But here's the whole reason to go IMO. I know you can't make a tent-pole out of a dessert, and yes everyone else at my table including my picky son LOVED their burgers and steak - but Christ on a bike, the Sticky Toffee Pudding served with vanilla gelato is absolutely transcendent. I've run out of descriptors that don't me sound like a jerk. Please just go try it for yourselves.

We had such a great experience at Rue 22 Bistro! I had the lobster mac and cheese and the filet, and everything was delicious. The lobster mac and cheese was rich and flavorful, but the filet was definitely the star of the show — my steak was absolutely dynamite! Perfectly cooked and so good. A huge shoutout to Chef Sam — you can tell there’s a lot of care going into the food. It’s always exciting to have a new restaurant to try, and Rue 22 Bistro did not disappoint. We’ll definitely be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had the ravioli of the day (for cheese) with a delicious glass of white wine. The portion size was perfect and the dish was delicious. Always great service and a wonderful place to dine before a Pens game!
