One of Pittsburgh's popular cocktail bars has added a full-service dinner to its menu.
🍽️ The intrigue: Tina's in Bloomfield is known for its cocktails in a hip setting, and recently added a three-course dinner focused on fresh, seasonal ingredients prepared by chef Daniele Brenci.
- It's the start of a transition into more full-service food options, according to Tina's website.
🍄🟫 Dig in: The spring dinner comes with seven dishes — three for the first course, three for the second, and one dessert.
- Crusty focaccia is served with garlic butter and honey, dusted with ramp powder, adding a sweet-savory kick from the foraged wild onion.
- Fresh peas and strawberries shine in a vibrant green salad.
- A spring onion and Appalachian cheese mille-feuille tastes like an elevated spanakopita.
- The sourdough gnocchi is the crowd-pleaser, packed with earthy mushroom flavor and a delightful texture.
💭 Ryan's thought bubble: Every dish highlights its main, locally sourced ingredient and doesn't try to distract from it with too many other flavors.
- Asparagus shines with turnips, and tart rhubarb highlights dessert. It really takes like spring.
🍸 The vibe: The same hip Tina's with romantic light, wooden fixtures and eclectic decor.
- The service is very personable, and the staff is excited for you to try each dish. You can tell they're proud.
💵 Cost: $55 per person.
- Drinks — beer, wine, cocktails — are extra and range from $6-$18.
📍 If you go: Dinner service is available Friday-Sunday, 6pm-8:30pm.
- 4114 Main St., Bloomfield.
- Reservations ($10 per person deposit reduced to dinner tab) are recommended.
