Best Historic Restaurants in North Hills

Had Thanksgiving dinner at Spirits and Tales. Everything was wonderful. Beautiful spot atop the Oaklander. Taylor provided excellent service. Special thanksgiving menu offered good choices for all. And all was delicious.

Enjoyed a fantastic Thanksgiving dinner in this marvelous venue! EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT!!! We live in Florida but are from Pa. We discussed making this a Thanksgiving tradition. Everything from venue to people and service to food and drink was incredible! The only disappointment was they didn’t have any Christmas decorations up. I understand they put those up the weekend after Thanksgiving. It would have made for a more festive atmosphere. They’re open 7 days a week and I highly recommend one visit for lunch, dinner, or Sunday brunch.

Always good food and service. A bit too noisy, but... The hightop table was strange. Couldn't lean in for conversation very well.

This a beautiful historical location and always so pretty around the holidays. We went here a couple of years ago at this same time of the year and this year had very few people- they even asked us to come early. The service was outstanding. The food was good, but rather ordinary- we had a turkey sandwich and a spinach salad. Both were fine but the bread was a little dry, salad could have used more apples and walnut. Limited menu - all items you would see in any good restaurant- they need a signature dish or soup. Maybe something they served years ago and diners thought it was great.

My wife and I had a great experience at the Ritual House. We started at the bar before dinner with a generous, well made, gin martini. We were seated upstairs for dinner which is beautifully decorated. Our server Leena, was fantastic from start to finish. This was not our first time here, but I had never ordered a steak. I had the filet with the brown butter bearnaise and butternut squash purée. It was truly one of the best meals I have had in a few years of dining out in Pittsburgh. We’ll definitely be back soon!
