Reviews
It had black beans and cranberries and wood chips and all kinds of ‘naturelle’ kinds of stuff that just ruined it. On my trips back, I no longer order that salad, which is sad.
To whoever is responsible for this atrocity…..ain’t cha never heard the phrase…..’If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!’ ?
However the whole place suffers from continuous pretentious gimmicks. The seats at the bar aren’t stools. They’re who only knows what you’re sitting on. I would really like to drink from a glass, not a jar. If I had a plate instead of eating a sandwich from a baking pan or having fries in a little fry basket, I would be so excited. I didn’t need the check delivered wedged between two clay butter dishes. Those little black books every else uses is entirely acceptable.
I haven’t a bad word to say about the staff. Our server was knowledgeable and I saw them all hustling getting it done right.
The decor is very good. Extremely well maintained, consistent, and they care about how it looks. If you sit near the kitchen, you get to hear “corner” “in” “out” roughly every 10 seconds during a busy service. Some others decide to use a mirror but here we are. I wanted to move after about 3 minutes of this serenade.
Don’t let these minor things deter you. The food is worth it.
Sells out super fast, portion is a bit less than filling but taste is amazing.
Settled on a sausage pappardelle (7.5/10).
French onion soup was delicious, 9/10.
Deviled eggs 8/10.
Baked bread with their special orange tasting butter 8/10.
I have been about three times and everything I have ordered has been delicious. My only complaint is some of the dishes can feel a little too “butter rich” and lack an acidic component to balance out the richness of oil/butter they use.
Also, their website to make reservations is not mobile friendly.
Their cocktails are amazing, I highly recommend the Henry Frick!
If you’re looking for a low key restaurant in Pittsburgh with good food and good ambience, you should definitely try it!
Restaurants with huge menu are an automatic fail IMO. FPT does it right in that regard.
Pan-Roasted Salmon: cooked and seasoned to perfection.
Crispy Calamari: The squid pieces are small, so you taste more of the batter than squid. A little bland overall, and not really crispy. I do like the occasional fried pickle they mix in there that added some flavor.
FPT Salad: too much vinaigrette. I was a huge fan of their salad back when FPT was Ease. It was served in a big stainless steel bowl, well mixed with perfect amount of dressing. But the FPT salad was a letdown. Way too sour. I couldn’t even finish it. Served on a plate so it’s hard to toss the salad without accidentally dropping bits on the table.
FPT Burger: Burger’s top-notch. Even more impressive was the fries. Among the best fries I have ever had – thick and crunchy. Rosemary sea salt was a great touch.
Buttermilk Fried Chicken Salad: Great pairing. Chicken was tender and juicy; good salad. Portion was small for an entrée but big for an appetizer, so I’d consider adding another protein option if for entrée.
