Dining room at Eleven Contemporary Kitchen, Pittsburgh, PA

Eleven Contemporary Kitchen unleashes a sophisticated, urbane energy. The airy, two-story dining room boasts plush banquettes, artist-designed tables, warm earth tones, good lighting and premier materials, particularly wood. The open kitchen generates buzz, as does the inviting lounge area with its large, green-onyx topped bar, topnotch cocktails and extensive bar menu. The lounge opens up to sidewalk seating. Upstairs are private rooms and an outside balcony with serious heaters. An elevated, glass-enclosed wine room heralds an ambitious wine program; selections are global, with first-rate options in wines by the glass. Executive chef Derek Stevens focuses on seasonal ingredients and innovative yet approachable preparations. The menu changes frequently but count on a line-up of American farmstead cheeses and charcuterie, quality steaks and a large selection of well-prepared seafood. The glass-walled pastry kitchen pops out fresh bread and comfort desserts with witty twists. Try the signature banana cream pie, chocolate cashew candy bar or double chocolate trifle.
