We were looking for a restaurant to meet my cousin while I was in town. A lot of places are not open on Mondays and I'm glad this place was. My husband and cousin got the Amish chicken and it was just yummy. I ordered the tuna nicoise but got the Poké bowl by accident. And it was a happy accident. I had no complaints with it at all and they took care of me by giving me a side salad just because it was their mistake. They have a really nice wine selection and it's just pleasant inside. Can't wait to go again when I'm visiting Pittsburgh.

My friends and I came here on Wednesday night. It wasn't too crowded, but there were a few tables with people. Our waitress was really nice, however also extremely forgetful. We had to ask her for drinks multiple times before she finally remembered to bring it. As far as the food goes, my burger was good. I ordered it medium and it was cooked perfectly medium. The fries were soggy though. One of my friends ordered the gnocchi and received pappardelle instead. The bus boy went to get our waitress, but she forgot to come over. We waited about 10 mins before we were able to get her attention from helping another table. The manager eventually came over to let us know that the menu had changed. He remedied the situation by heating up the meal and removing the charge.Overall, it was a very "meh" experience.

Came here with my mom for an afternoon brunch - booked on open table. I had the west coast Benny and my mom had the Niçoise salad. West Coast Benny was served with a side of fruit. However, per the menu the side should be home fries. Outdoor patio seating with a covered porch.

Updating this review from several years ago. I think Cornerstone is a great local spot that holds a dependable crowd. Came here with 4 friends and a baby on a Monday night which is definitely the night to come, as no one was there. Our server was great and filled waters a decent amount, provided recs and was overall friendly and helpful. We each had something different and all meals got rave reviews. Guess I should have re-read what I got the first time....because I still stuck with the steak salad...and the steak was still chewy and didn't come out medium well. I have learned my lesson this time! Also, they need to serve this in a large bowl. Cutting chewy steak and large onions just shuffles the food around (and almost off) the plate. The flavor was great, though. I do like this place and I'll try something else next time!

We got a gift card for Cornerstone, so we tried it for dinner tonight. It was a pleasant surprise. Although I am very focused on the Pittsburgh restaurant scene, I never heard of the place. It's a local bar/restaurant, nicely decorated, with a big bar and small dining room. The menu is hard to categorize, with a bunch of apps of various types, a good variety of entrees, and multiple sandwiches. We just had the duck confit steamed buns and a side of fries. We started with martinis followed by glasses of white wine. The by the glass list was diverse and fairly priced. We didn't look at it bottle list, if there was one. Overall a good experience but a long trip for us.

White-table cloth establishment for an upscale meal inside or outside. The food was good: one lamb burger (because the brisket wasn't available), the Brussels sprouts, and the lamb meatballs. I would have appreciated more of the spread, because otherwise the pita was warm but dry. I had enough food from the two appetizers for two meals. The cucumber gimlet was fine, but service was a little spotty, and our lunch took over an hour, although the restaurant was not particularly busy on a weekday.

Elizabeth/Aunt Lizzy/Liz did an amazing job! Grabbed an open table reservation while at a local winery and looking to extend our evening out with friends. Took a gamble and we're not disappointed! Lamb burgers (yummy!), lamb pops and steak salad-all awesome! Limoncello tiramisu was eh but everything else was awesome! Would definitely return!

What could have been great, sucked because of our waitress. We went here for my birthday dinner and I was super excited because I haven't been in a while and had great experiences in the past. Upon sitting down, it took her about 10 minutes to come take our drink order. When she did we ordered Arancini but not drinks. We also asked her the weekly special and the soup. She just shook her head on the soup and I said do you mean it's not good and she said no don't get it (it was sweet potato I think). So then a few minutes later she came back and said can you remind me your drink order and I said we didn't have any. So she proceeded to take our order -again I ordered a veggie burger and she just looked at me and shook her head and said not to order it, that it wasn't good so I got a steak salad. I felt like I was rushed to order something then and she didn't give a recommendation. I asked her to bring an order of sweet potato fries early if possible because we had our 1 year old with us and she said she would absolutely bring that first. We had ordered another app when we ordered our meal and that came out with no fries or the Arancini. Then our dinners came and my steak salad was lettuce, steak and tomatoes so I sent it back and she said well they brought it out too early (it was missing onions and potatoes). I told her she forgot the Arancini and she pulled her paper out and said she didn't have it written down and I reminded her she forgot our drink order then she went oh yeah. But then still never brought it. I didn't even mention the fries. The manager came over and I let her know- she forgot two of our items and my salad came out wrong and she was like well I saw that salad and I said yeah that's after I sent it back. And to top it off, the steak was undercooked. The waitress never came to check on our drinks either. We were basically a forgotten table. After it all, she came over and I asked for our check. Then the waitress never brought the check. The manager came back over because the table was clear and saw the card out waiting and asked if we were waiting for our check. When she brought it over, I started to reiterate to her how disappointed I was and she tried to give us a gift card which I gave back and said I won't be back here. She just kept talking over me and I said now I am the customer and I can't be heard either so I'll write it on yelp. She did comp our meal - the only thing done correctly at this point. Outside the shitty service- the Amish chicken my boyfriend said was really good and the meatballs were good, so if they hired people who actually know how to take orders maybe it all would have been good had we actually gotten the food. The salad was meh but I don't usually order salads at restaurants because I can make a better one at home.

Although Cornerstone Restaurant is a 40 minute drive for us, we have enjoyed dining here multiple times. Except for last night- 9/14/2024. Our food was subpar- especially the salmon, which was extremely salty. More than that - the service was extremely poor and slow. We waited almost 20 minutes for our entrees and another 10-15 for our dessert to arrive. Our drinks were only refilled when we asked. We also ordered the ribs and needed to ask for an additional plate( for bones) and then additional napkins. We sat with our empty plates for quite a while when finally the waitress asked if we wanted them cleared. No- we'll do it ourselves lol. Such a disappointing dining experience! Highly recommend Cornerstone to address their service standards.
