I was part of a group of three couples who ate an early dinner (5:30) prior to going to see a performance at Heinz Hall. We were seated near the street windows. Very attractive ambiance and surroundings. We had a very attentive server. I had a delicious cocktail, and my date had wine. My date and I split a nice chopped salad which was plenty for two. She ordered the rigatoni - we both loved it. I ordered the duck on a bed of polenta - it was not hot, and the polenta was way too salty and runny. I regretted by choice and would have much preferred the rigatoni. The tip was automatically added to the bill.
