Restaurants near Schenley Park

As always Ryan took care of us even going out of his way to have a makeshift Shirley Temple station at our table- very nice touch- meal was delicious and made my 50th birthday dinner special- thank you!

My wife and I decided to celebrate her birthday at Eleven. We were not disappointed. Everything was wonderful! We started early with $9 cocktails at the bar. We had Martinis with Plymouth Gin for only $9. They were great! Then we got $9 glasses of wine to take to our table. We ordered oysters to start, and they tasted so fresh, sweet & briny. My wife had the pork chop and I had the radiatori. They were both delicious. Finally, we had the Trio of Ice Creams with very rich & creamy vanilla bean, lavender honey, & maple brown walnut butter. They were all so good. Nick, our server was excellent too. He never rushed us, but he seemed to be always there to ask if everything was OK and if we needed anything.

Ron insured we had a beautiful evening, my husband and I shared a dish and it was divided on our plates in the kitchen. Beautiful presentation as well. Always a treat to dine here.

The pasta dishes were superb, as was the salad with lump crab meat and avocado. The panini, however, was disappointing. The bread was two slabs of thick, Texas-style bread, and the filling was very thick. Along with the Italian meats and cheese, there was shredded lettuce. If it was cooked on a Panini Press, the chef/cook forgot to close and press it. Obviously, whoever made the Panini has never been to Italy.

It was my husbands birthday and upon arrival we were pleasantly greeted and seated. They had a lovely card signed by the staff for him. That was a very nice touch. Our server was attentive with out hovering. It was a very pleasant dinner!
