Casbah on a Saturday night

May 11th, 2008 · 2 Comments · food for thought

Casbah. Sat. night dinner for 4. With their entrance through their patio dining room, Casbah has remained a very nice atmosphere. Cocktails & wine selection are among the best in the city. Starters English pea risotto with shaved parmesan – nice but needed a little more seasoning & mesclun salad which as always is fresh & tasty. Entrees soft shell crabs sauteed ok but underseasoned, pasta with cream & chicken extremely rich & delicious & pork chop grilled to perfection with crispy leeks on a bed of greens -this is the best chop anywhere- highly recommended. Dessert choc. bread pudding -a little too heavy & sorbets which were excellent. Casbah has remained one of the cities best restaurant chioces. Wait staff & service are very pleasant. Overall a really nice dining experience.

    Agreed. One of my favorite Pittsburgh restaurants. And they make a mean cocktail too. The Blood Orange Margarita is heavenly. I also highly recommend the weekend brunch. The prix fixe menu is perfect for a special occasion. Try the sweet polenta.

    How is the dress code for Casbah? Also is the seating generous or are you on a bench next to others?
