I recently made my second trip to Eleven for a special birthday dinner, and had a terrible meal. Not just bad - terrible. While the salad was decent, my main course (halibut) was so overcooked I couldn't even chew it. My mom's pork was also overcooked, and my dad's sea bass was fine, but not great. Though the halibut was taken off the check, there was very little in the way of an apology from our waiter. When I go to a restaurant with Eleven's reputation (and costing what Eleven does!), I exepect to be nothing short of amazed. Safe to say, I will not be returning to Eleven any time soon. There are plenty of fantastic restaurants in Pittsburgh without the high price tag and pretentiousness of Eleven where I can find better food! Well, I’m glad you had a good experience at Eleven.
