Fine dinner at Ditka's Seafood and Steakhouse in the company of a founding partner from the hosting firm I came to evaluate. I'm in Pittsburgh on a first business trip since the start of the pandemic. Tied up in meetings all day. Old Fashioned to relax, first. Makers Mark bourbon, aromatic & Orange bitters. Smooth!
Couple of appetizers, Colossal Shrimp cocktail with fresh horseradish and Rhode Island calamari, crispy fried and tossed in garlic butter, with sweet and hot peppers. Sherry crab bisque, lip smacking good! I love soups!
New York strip was my main course, center cut and heavy aged, from Linz Heritage Angus Steaks menu. Side of roasted wild mushrooms. Delizioso, exceptional steak. Look at my steak, middle cut for your vicarious viewing pleasure, before I dig in!
My colleague got Bone-in rib eye, also center cut and heavy aged, and asked for same roasted wild mushrooms substitute, they were absolutely out of this world superbly tasty!
I had the Old Fashioned with Maker's Mark Bourbon and aromatic & Orange bitters, not pictured LOL forgot to snap a photo! Pictured is Moscow Mule with Tito's vodka, ginger beer, and fresh lime.
Caramelized sugar goodness, Creme Brûlée with fresh berries. Everyone's favorite! Mmm!
Chef's Cheesecake, housemade, the selection is seasonal, and it's not your ordinary typical slice or wedge, it's a piece of art, it's a sweet deliciousness, that you won't find anywhere else!
{ Ditka's is an upscale restaurant and bar serving steaks, chops, and seafood - your Midwestern American fare. With encouragement of many Yelpers & credits to my great friend Tess M. for her spot-on instinct about Mike Ditka, I'm including affiliation note for this restaurant, inspired by football coach & beloved Chicago Bears legend & filled with football memorabilia. }
