We shared a bunch of appetizers and small plates, rather than having a main. Every plate was incredible and delicious. Bar service is always top notch too. Love this place.

I had an excellent experience at The Vandal and have already recommended to others. The special martini service was fabulous, the duck entree over French toast was both original & exceptional. All of the servers were highly proficient and friendly. The noise was deafening in this small but intimate restaurant. I look forward to going back on a future trip to Pittsburgh.
