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.
Review Source:Bonnie and I now have a new favorite spot for Friday night dates. Â A beautiful drive through Fox Chapel and Ohara Township gets you to this restaurant styled after an English pub--complete with book-lined walls. Â Our server was Heather and she did an excellent job. Â Bonnie had a turkey dish that featured tender breast meat, bacon, and cheese sauce. Â Delicious. Â I had a cup of the wild mushroom bisque that was amazing--if you like mushrooms. Â I also had the Angus burger, and it easily surpassed any burger north of the Allegheny River. Â The food here is pricey, but it is definitely worth the price.
Review Source:Went there for my wife's 40th birthday, I had called a week before, set up her favorite bottle of wine, and a birthday cake, atmosphere was wonderful, food was great and  prices are reasonable, fried tofu actually had a crunch (very hard to accomplish).  Hot pretzels are always a favorite of ours. We have lived near the restaraunt for the past 10 years and a couple of years ago my wife and I decided to try it. Are only regret is that it took us 8 years to eat there.
Review Source:Whispers (or Hartwood Cafe) is a true gem in an area that does not have much options. The uniquely cozy atmosphere makes dining an intimate experience. This is one of my favorite places to escape the winter cold. Although I love when the patio is open in warmer weather and seasonal berries are incorporated into the salad.
The menu is mostly traditional, but everything is done exceptionally well and with great integrity. I am always at a loss what to order. But I always start the panco-crusted goat cheese salad - which adds delicious creamy warmth to the fresh greens. The soups are also a highlight for me. My boyfriend is always a fan of the turkey devonshire.
If you have not been to Hartwood, I highly recommend it. It is a great experience from start to finish and you would be hard pressed to find something you do not want to order.
Here's where five hungry females descended upon after hiking five and a half miles at nearby Hartwood Acres. Â I don't care which gender you are--when you've been hiking on a winter's morn, you'll chow down afterwards! Â I think we all started with the soup and we spilt an appetizer of the fruit and cheese plate. Â Nothing warms you up like a good cup of hearty soup! Â
Feeling a bit adventurous, I tried the grilled chicken sandwich with szechuan barbeque and sweet potatoes. Â That got my tastebuds warmed up and my innards warmed too! Â Mmmm, metabolized so quickly! Â My girlfriends tried the sun dried tomato wraps and I believe a couple of 'em went for the fish hoagies. Â
Hartwood Restaurant is the closest sit-down restaurant to Hartwood Acres. Â It's worth a stop if you're going to a summer concert or to the Festival of Lights.
Best seafood in Pittsburgh! Â Halibut and scallops were to die for! Â I love the atmosphere there too. Â Good pours on the wine and big portions of food for the money. Â I got a salad with fresh pears, goat cheese and it was enough to split it. Â I think this is Pittsburgh's best kept secret. Â The service was great even though it was packed for a Saturday night. Â I highly recommend this restaurant for good, fresh seafood!
Review Source:A UNIQUE EATERY THAT'S WORTH A VISIT BUT HAS ROOM TO GROW!
We went for my birthday on the recommendation of my mom who had recently hosted a luncheon there and loved it. I was pleasantly surprised to find a unique building with a very unique pacific rim type menu. Speaking for myself, I started with the Cesar salad which was tasty - dressing used Greek yogurt - it had a tangy depth of flavor rather than a typical oil-laden dressing. Others in the party had salads but agreed that one to many ingredients where added to the salad - like pecans, blue cheese AND grapefruit. Taking out one ingredient could let the other flavors shine. We also shared the fried green tomatoes which were tasty. The dinner menu had alot of interesting fish selections and we were happy to see what we ordered was fresh and plentiful. Everyone in the party ordered seafood and loved it. Dessert was also delightful - try the apricot cobbler!
Overall, the impression that we got is that the chef is young or newer to cooking -they needed to focus in some of their menu ideas to  make them go from good to great.
It's a lovely place to go for a nice night if you're in that neck of the woods!
After seeing this reviewed in so many other places I am surprised that it hasn't been written up on yelp yet.
After reading so many of those great reviews I am thoroughly disappointed in the food and service that my family and I received at the Hartwood Restaurant. We ate lunch on a Saturday afternoon in October. The place was not that busy and we were promptly seated. I don't know if it was because of all the dust in the air and on the bookshelves around us but my husband immediately began having an allergic reaction to something. After a few minutes the worst of it subsided but his eyes remained quite red and watery for the remainder of the meal.
We all ordered our meals and drinks at the same time. I ordered a Pepsi and as soon as I took a drink had to spit it out. The syrup in the machine must have been low and it tasted like bland carbonated water. I asked the waitress to get me a new one and she looked at me like I was crazy but went and got one anyways. She must have got it from the same machine though and the second one was just as bad. Figuring that since a decent glass of Pepsi was too much to ask I wasn't expecting much from the meal.
I ordered an Angus Cheeseburger and fries. My husband ordered the Beer Battered Fish Sandwich and Chips. My burger was so greasy I couldn't stomach eating more than a few bites and my fries were both burnt and cold. My husband said he would trade me so he gave me his fish and it was flavorless and also too greasy to eat.
Since I don't live in the area The Hartwood Restaurant is not someplace I will be frequenting and if I visit the area again it is definitely not on my short list of places to eat. Pittsburgh has so many other fine dining restaurants I am sure there are much better places out there.
