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.

    I highly recommend Monterey Bay for a special occasion. The service was impeccable and the food came in generous portions and was prepared perfectly. My wife and I were celebrating Valentine's Day and our recent marriage simultaneously and were treated like royalty. Great live music in the lounge before dinner too! It is no wonder this restaurant has been a go to place in Pittsburgh for years! Bravo!!

    The food (Caesar salads and Beef Wellington) was delicious. Great cocktails and wine. The server was very good and treated us well, which we appreciated, but she was also very busy and so didn’t have time to check in very often. We enjoyed our experience and would definitely recommend Meat and Potatoes.

    An absolutely great visit! I've never been and was looking for new places to try for Valentine's/Self-Love Day, lol. I was late for my reservation (I did call to make them aware) and they were still able to accommodate me -- nice customer service. I sat at the bar and was greeted by Scott. He's a sweetheart and served me a couple Sparkling Comsos -- yumm. For my dinner, I got the Scottish Salmon cooked medium. It was made perfectly! The accoutrements were delish as well. Abby(ie) made sure I was tended to throughout. Very nice experience in a beautiful space with matching vibes.

    I went to Soba for my birthday celebration. The service was warm and welcoming. The absolutely delicious, high quality food was served in ample portions. The cocktails were wonderful and creative. We tried things from every section of the menu and everything was a success. Soba has landed high on my "Return to" list.
