Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Oakmont

My wife and I really enjoyed our dinner at Fig and Ash. The crab cake as an appetizer and the meatloaf were standouts, though honestly, the mashed potatoes with the meatloaf may have been the best bite. They were truly excellent. The brownie and ice cream was a great way to finish the meal. We are looking forward to coming back again.

We recently dined at The Commoner and had an excellent experience. Our server, Scott, was outstanding. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure all our needs were met promptly. The food was delicious, and Scott's recommendations were spot on. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a great meal. Overall, the service at The Commoner, especially from Scott, was top-notch, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. Also, the potatoes as an appetizer may have been the best thing I’ve tasted in my 26 years of living.

The food (Caesar salads and Beef Wellington) was delicious. Great cocktails and wine. The server was very good and treated us well, which we appreciated, but she was also very busy and so didn’t have time to check in very often. We enjoyed our experience and would definitely recommend Meat and Potatoes.

First let me start by saying we have had consistently good experiences at this restaurant. David provided excellent service for Valentine’s Dinner. The cocktail that was chocolate and strawberry flavored should be kept on the regular menu! I had short ribs and my husband had seafood risotto and both were top notch! I ordered bread pudding and my husband had the tiramisu and once again top notch! I have one complaint around the buffalo mozzarella caprese…not sure it was Buffalo cheese as the texture on Buffalo is spongier but the most important issue was the 5 small baby tomatoes that were overripe. A good caprese has a solid slice of tomato to match the mozzarella slice. Also, a balsamic drizzle adds the final perfect touch and that was missing too. I definitely would not order that again. It was almost the perfect dinner!

This was my first time at FPT and it won’t be my last. The server was knowledgeable about the wine list and replenished my dry partners beverage without him having to ask. We loved the deviled eggs and buffalo cauliflower as appetizers. I opted for onion soup - so rich and cheesy and a side Caesar salad which was perfectly dressed. My partner’s stuffed pork chop entree was perfect for a cold night. The only disappointment of the evening was that the restaurant was out of gift cards. We wanted to encourage my daughter to come celebrate her birthday at FPT.
