Hartwood Restaurant & Whispers Pub

I attended a bridal shower here last weekend and had a fabulous time! The room we were in was a perfect setting for a classy shower. It was beautifully decorated and very spacious. For lunch I had the mac and cheese with smoked chicken and bacon; it was wonderful!! The portion was just the right size and I was able to finish my lunch without feeling overly stuffed. For dessert, they had two different types of cupcakes, yellow cake or red velvet. I love all things red velvet and am very picky, and this cupcake certainly lived up to my expectations! The cupcake itself was moist and the icing was light and creamy without being over sweet. I would love to go back here to eat lunch and check out the rest of their menu.

Bonnie and I now have a new favorite spot for Friday night dates.  A beautiful drive through Fox Chapel and Ohara Township gets you to this restaurant styled after an English pub--complete with book-lined walls.  Our server was Heather and she did an excellent job.  Bonnie had a turkey dish that featured tender breast meat, bacon, and cheese sauce.  Delicious.  I had a cup of the wild mushroom bisque that was amazing--if you like mushrooms.  I also had the Angus burger, and it easily surpassed any burger north of the Allegheny River.  The food here is pricey, but it is definitely worth the price.

Great, unique atmosphere in the front room with all the books. Everyone was happy with their food. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. The service was a bit slow towards the end of the meal, but we were in no hurry and I think it added to the experience in a positive way.
