    My girlfriend had wanted to come here for awhile now and so when she got her new job I decided to take her out for a nice meal to celebrate. The building is beautiful and much larger than we expected. But it was broken down into rooms so it felt much more intimate. I ordered a beer that I had never heard of off of their nice craft selection. I forget hat it was called but it tasted like coffee and it was bad. I ordered the crab and shrimp macaroni and cheese, Alison the chicken Parm. Both dishes on the lower end of the price scale and still our bill was $60 before tip. The macaroni was very good but it didn't have that much seafood in it and shouldn't have cost $26. Alison said that her chicken tasted good but it came out cold. our server was wonderful, efficient, friendly but good service isn't enough to justify high prices when the food is just okay. If you do decide to go, buy Wooden Nickel gift cards at Giant Eagle for the fuel perks with their prices the fuel perks add up quickly. I was hoping for more, the bar looked worth coming back to, but I won't be paying for dinner here again.

    This visit has been a long time coming. We have heard mixed reviews and always wanted to try it but hesitated because we have very limited time to go out to eat with 1 day off a week. We finally got there for our first time last night. The set up when walking in is very strange because it seems impossible for a staff member to know you're there unless they have a hostess on duty. We walked back to the bar a young man sat us. Tammy promptly came over and greeted our table. She was very welcoming and polite. I had a dirty martini(it was martini night ) and he had an iced tea. We started with the bacon wrapped scallop app. Which comes with a balsamic glaze, it was very clean and simple and I would order it again. After being told about the chefs features we went with the seafood fra diavlo and the filet and stuffed shrimp (which I substituted a crab cake for) I wish I would have remembered to take pictures because they were just as good as they looked ! We were so pleasantly surprised to enjoy everything about our evening from start to finish ! We will definitely be back based on quality and service ! Thankyou for a wonderful experience !

    My husband, my son, and I had a wonderful experience at the Norwin Town Square Wooden Nickel. We used the 40% discount that came via email for dinner and used the 40% discount on a bottle of wine that was offered as a special for Saturday night. This was our first visit and we were pleasantly surprised. The decor was lovely - elegant but not too fancy. We were seated in the dining room where you could see the food being prepared in the kitchen. It was a nice touch. We ordered the appetizer of calamari, which was very good. Dinner came with bread and seasoned oil and butter - very delicious. My husband and I ordered the stuffed pepper soup which was a bit spicy for me but my husband enjoyed it. My son had the Caesar salad which he said was delicious. We ordered the macaroni and cheese with shrimp and crab meat, the scallops dinner, and the swordfish as our three entrées. Everything was absolutely delicious! The scallops in particular, were out of this world delicious! We ordered the special for dessert which was blueberry cannolis served with chocolate ice cream - yummy. With our 40% discount off of our dinner and wine, our evening came to $85. Even without our discount I feel our bill was reasonable. Our service was flawless and we had a wonderful evening. It is great to have a restaurant like this, finally, in our community. Do not let those complaining about the prices scare you off. You will enjoy yourself - and it's nice to not have to drive to downtown Pittsburgh for this kind of dining experience.

    As a new restaurant in the area we expected it to be as good as the Monroeville location. It was not but I think it will be just as good over time.

    Overpriced. Horrible tasting food. "Pasta" is now rice. My filet tasted like Liver. The only thing that was good was my salad. If you are looking for a higher end dining experience there are many better places in the Pittsburgh Area to award with your business. Or you could spend less and go to Denny's for better food.

    Terrible service, Terrible food, a waste of $100.00. Will never go again. The waitress apologize but it couldn't make up for the long, long wait for the appetizer. Finally got a basket of a few pieces of dried bread. Food, when it finally got to the table was dried out and less than adequate.

    This was the second time that my wife and I went to the Norwin location. I ordered a special drink before dinner, which came back just as I ordered it. The waitress went out of her way to prepare it, because she told us no bartender was on duty. It was good. My wife ordered the pasta with crab and it was good, but too expensive for what was delivered. I ordered the club sandwich, which came with a side of onion rings. The sandwich was good, but the onion rings were completely burned. The bar was closed and the place was dead. I've got a feeling that they are not making it here. I expect it to close soon. Anyway, we won't be going back anytime soon.

    Loved this place. The inside decor was beautiful. The service was great and so was the food. I ordered the crab macaroni and cheese which was awesome. We also shared a bottle of wine . This was a good deal when comparing to the price per glass of wine. Sometimes they also have someone walking around offering free craft beer samples. This was a huge plus. So glad we discovered this hidden gem!

    We finally checked out the new Wooden Nickel, we will NEVER go back! They had a special New Year's menu, 2 people $99. First of all they should have served an appetizer with the meal. I had scallops and were very good. It was served with rice that was BAD. My husband got crab ravioli with a lobster sauce. They served frozen ravioli that were freezer dry on the ends. The edges of the pasta were so hard. We returned the dish for new ravioli, the second dish was freezer dry. There was no lobster either!! I told the waitress it is totally unacceptable to serve frozen pasta for $100!! She said it is not normally on the menu. The dessert was OK.....The service was good but the food was some of the worst food I EVER had! The best part....the to go bag is a Shop N Save grocery bag!! They don't even have Wooden Nickel bags. Unreal!! With tip...what a waste of $150!!!

    They opened yesterday. The food was good, drinks and service were also good. My only negative comment is the price. Two people, total of three drinks, no appetizers, no salad, no desert, the bill was $103 + tip. Most meals were $32-$38

    My Friend and I went here over this week end. We both had an excellent experience. We had the Polenta appetizer. It was really good. The French Onion soup was the best that I ever had. My friend had the Crab Cakes and loved them. I had the feature, NY strip over risotto, it was perfect! The best part of our experience was our professional, yet fun and friendly waitress, Tammy. She made our experience exceptional and made us to feel special and valued. Although they were busy, Tammy even brought the chef out to meet us! We did enjoy the luxury of having the 40% off coupon, but I will definitely return when I want to celebrate with an excellent fine dining experience!

    This review is more of a 2.5 stars. I'm still tore between two and three. So, I've been to the Wooden Nickel in Monroeville once for a baby shower, and the food and service was decent. This was my first trip to the Irwin location. My mom and I were out shopping and it was late afternoon. I needed to get groceries, but everyone knows it's not a good idea to go grocery shopping on an empty stomach, so we stopped in. There are three separate rooms- a bar area, the main dining area (with the excellent view of the open kitchen), and another sort of dining room. The latter I assume is used more for larger parties, showers, etc. There was a sign near the front stating to please seat yourself in the dining room, so we found our way there. The place was completely empty. My mom commented on this but I didn't think it was such a big deal since 1) it was late afternoon, way too early for a dinner crowd and 2) the Steeler game was on, and it's not a place you'd go to watch the game. Plus, it was an hour or so before the Pirates game started. Our first waitress was friendly, she answered some questions we had about the menu, etc. My mom ordered the Pittsburgh salad with shrimp (you could choose between chicken, shrimp, steak or salmon - all at different prices). I ordered the Pesto Chicken Caprese sandwich with coleslaw (other choices were fries, soup or onion rings). As I mentioned, we were the only customers, and it took a good 25 minutes to get our meals. A second waitress came with our meals and announced she would be our new waitress. She set up mom's salad down and stated that the "shrimp was buried under the fries". My sandwich had fries on the plate and I told the waitress that I had ordered cole slaw; she told me to keep the fries and she'd go get me cole slaw, which she did. My sandwich had two extremely thick pieces of chicken so I decided to eat it without the bun. They were covered in pesto, mozzarella and tomato, which would have been delicious, but the chicken was super dry and there was waaaayyy too much pesto, I had to take a bunch of it off. I did try and few of the fries, you know, since they were there anyways. And I have to admit they were really good, they were crispy and had a nice seasoning. My cole slaw was okay, I like to add pepper but there was none on the table and the waitress wasn't in view, so I went without. My mom's salad was small, even for a lunch portion. There were exactly 3 shrimp, again what the heck, even ridiculous for a lunch portion. But, she did say it was tasty nonetheless. Our bill came and for some reason the bill was less that it should have been. Salad price with shrimp was $13 but we were only charged $10 and my sandwich should have been $11 but we were charged $9. I thought this was weird, we did order off the lunch menu, but I looked later and the prices are the same for the dinner menu. Obviously, we didn't complain. Overall, the place is very clean and decorated nicely. I was very surprised at the time it took to get our meals since no one else was in there and the food was fair, at best. I would probably give the Wooden Nickel one more try, but I wouldn't go out of my way.

    My wife and I just experienced our first time eating at the Wooden Nickel and it'll be our last. For an "upmarket" restaurant the food was average but what really did it in was the service. After waiting 30 mins for our drinks, salads, and bread we only saw our server a handful of times. If you are going to try to have an establishment like this I would recommend making sure you have decent servers. P.S. It wasn't a busy night.
