Booked 28 times today
Butterjoint is a comfy bar and restaurant located in North Oakland. Our welcoming and eclectic atmosphere is appropriate for almost any occasion - whether it be meeting a friend for a drink, celebrating an important event, or relaxing after work. Our menu is a mixture of familiar Pittsburgh foods (think pierogies, hamburgers, French fries) and French bistro classics (beef tartare, raclette, mussels), and seasonal classics that come and go throughout the year. We put care into our vegetarian dishes too, including making our own tempeh, falafel, and veggie patties from scratch. Menu items change frequently--usually every day--and reflect many long-standing relationships we have with farms and breweries in our region. In addition to reservations, we also have a thirty seat bar that is first come, first serve. We don’t know exactly how old the bar is, but it’s at least seventy years old (probably older) and very cozy. Our friendly bartenders are here to make something you like.

    Megan and Lizzie were two of the best service workers I have ever come across in my life. I would come back to this restaurant again. The food was delicious. My group of 4 felt like we were the only people there.

    Frick Park Tavern is always a good place to dine. The management with Kelly, to the food from Chef to all the servers, particularly Kristin last evening. The $15 corkage fee is reasonable while the GLENLIVET 12 is way over priced at $19 when a whole bottle is $55 to $60 in Pa spirit stores. This small item aside everything else was top shelf, the Tavern steak with the parmesan fries was cooked perfectly and very, very good, as was the strawberry salad with blackened salmon and the catch of the day of crab ravioli with asparagus and spinach. The French Dip and onion soup and the chicken burger were also good. The chocolate cake was a great take home idea as everything was so good desert needed postponed. You cannot go wrong at Frick Park Tavern and remember to always tip well the staff deserves it!

    Very welcoming, choice of seating and gave us plenty of time to catch up before ordering. Server was very attentive, welcoming and courteous. Our Summer salads with chicken were a perfect choice for that day. Portion was perfect, not overwhelming. Thank you for your consistency in service and a delicious menu!

    My friends and I enjoyed a ladies' day out at Vida LA Vida. The ambiance was terrific, creating the perfect day of great conversation and fun. The presentation of the food was beautiful, and every dish came out looking impressive. Overall, we had a wonderful time and appreciate the atmosphere, hospitality, and effort of the wait staff. We look forward to visiting again and creating more great memories with friends.
