Upscale-ish lunch in Shadyside, Pittsburgh?
Wow, sorry you've had such a bad experience at Cashbah, I find that very surprising, I've always had a good meal there. Try Pangea on on Bellefonte St ( near the parking garage)....Plum on Centre ( at the corner of Highland) has a beautiful dining room (asian/sushi). I beleive Typhoon is open for lunch also (thai)

Fresh Quail in Pittsburgh
I think you may find fresh quail at Giant Eagle Market District. They carry quite a bit of the D'Artagnan line, fresh Duck breasts, whole duck, venison,rabbit, and on occassion quail. I find availability to be spotty. I have asked and they were able to tell me when they were expecting a new order, you might inquire if they could special order for you. You should look for these products in the prepackaged meat section.

Black Garlic in Pittsburgh?
I saw black garlic ,today, (November 3) at The Market District Shadyside
Dinette, Pgh
I ate there Last Saturday night. Nice casual place. Choices are limited, a soup, a couple salads, a couple small plates. Pizza is the only entree, really really good pizza. I had the goat cheese pizza and my husband had an oyster mushroom pizza. Nice wine list and a good assortment of beer.

Richard Chen
Hi, first time post...I came here to see what others thought of Richard Chen. We went on a Saturday evening at 7:30. The service was really bad. We were seated on time but we sat for a very long time waiting for menus. Our waitress finally shows up, drops off the menus and leaves AGAIN...she never asked if we were interested in drinks. She came back and took drink and dinner choices. I ordered the rack of lamb, it wasn't until everyone had ordered and she asked me if I ordered the rack of lamb or the lamb special that we even knew they HAD specials....again loooong wait, the cocktails arrived at the same time as the appetizers. Appetizers were wisked away entrees followed quickly behind. Everything was just ordinary, not bad just eh. We did order desserts they were the best thing we ate all night, but the coffee was very cold. The waitress did return quickly with new cups and a fresh pot. The room is very tight...a few less tables would be good. During the long waits I looked around and saw a lot of people looking around...I don't think the poor service was confined to just our table. For what we had...it was way to expensive. Hopefully things will improve.
