Acorn

Reasonably priced high-end restaurant with kind staff, comfortable seating, and yummy dishes. My bf and I went for brunch but didn't have a reso, so we sat at the bar. The bartender was sweet, fast, and accommodating. We had our food out in 15 minutes; my fish tacos were great, with a nicely sized side salad. My bf loved his vegetable frittata and side of roasted potatoes. Will be back to this gem!

First time at Acorn, one of the better dinners I have had in Shadyside and Pittsburgh in general. The Brussels sprouts, the pork chop, and the potatoes are absolutely delicious. We also got the beignets, which I think might be the first time I have ever had one and it might be one of my favorite desserts now. We also got the cauliflower which was fine but I’d just stick to the Brussels if your going to pick one app. It was decorated very nicely for Christmas and has a very nice atmosphere as well. We will definitely be going back!

Came here with a group, and although the vegan options are sparse (I think like none of the entrees are vegan, but three of the apps are/can be vegan? Beets, cauliflower, and brussels although double check the brussels because there was a white sauce/cheese underneath the brussels layer), they're quite taste and filling IMO. I love that the "window" to the street is just open air---helps because not everyone in our party is particularly comfortable sitting indoors but we got the table right by the "window" with fresh air breezing in. The brussels were super crispy, the cauliflower was really tasty, and the other items everyone else got seemed great including the steaks and some pasta looking dish and beignets for dessert. It's a pretty expensive place per person (lol except maybe me with my app as my meal) so it's probably good if you're looking for a fine dining option that's not uppity but like you should spend a good bit to impress and the guest of honor doesn't have dietary restrictions. Pictured are the mussels the group ate and the roasted cauliflower dish I had.

Absolutely astounding. Hands down the best meal I've had in a long time. Every dish we ordered and every cocktail was perfectly made. A stunning and perfect combination of tastes and texture in every bite and sip. The chef is simply superb, the atmosphere is lovely, and the staff is wonderful. One of my absolute favorite places in the whole city. GO. HERE.

My first time here, but will definitely visit again. I had pasta and I really enjoyed the unique taste of it, very flavorful. I should say they don't have many options for their entrées, however they update their menu frequently. The drink menu was very sophisticated and diverse. You won't be disappointed. The atmosphere was also very pleasant. Overall a good experience...
