We had the privilege last night of attending Legume’s First Year Celebration and wanted to share what they chose to have on the menu!!! We started with a pork and rhubarb crostini with Fois Gras on top!! Then on to laughing bird shrimp salad with potatoes, young greens and chervil mayonaise. 3rd course was a homemade ricotta crepe with poached asparagus, farro and bistro vinaigrette. I had aJamison lamb chop with carolina grits and sage pesto, my husband had kobe beef with fava bean ragout and polenta…….we finished off with fizzy rhubarb soup topped with creme fraiche and sliced strawberries!!!!! THEN, came a most remarkable cheese trio (Hooks 10-yr.cheddar, constant bliss (like brie) and bayley hazen blue with a prune compote/sliced apples and french bread slices!!!! Then came the chocolate truffles (homemade) and the cranes to get us home!!!!! OUTSTANDING and no wonder Trevitt has been chosen chef to watch out for!!!!
THANKS for reading all of this, just wanting you all to know what’s going on (gastronomically!!!!) on a regular, old Sunday night in Pgh.!!!!

Perfection is generally boring i.e. this is just the romantic little funky bistro place for me. It’s just a tad offbeat, the food is always sensuous, all about evolving seasons and change. Chef Trevett Hooper is young and full of esoteric food thoughts. I like his little touches, including hints at what’s for dinner posted on the door during the day, or a dish titled “chicken cooked under a skillet with garlic and brown chicken sauce.” Even better, I guarantee you’ll love it. He’s got talent, morals, and whatever a green thumb is when it comes to the stove.

I’m happy you had a good meal at Legume. Four of us tried it and were unimpressed. The decor leaves a lot to be desired. For the same price, we had an exceptional meal at Bona Terra. Try it some time.
