Frick Park Tavern Features a Variety of Comfort Fare (Thurs., 8/1/24)
Older Pittsburghers love to wax nostalgic about restaurants that are no longer. But in Regent Square, where the new Frick Park Tavern recently opened, no one’s really talking about the former Ease Modern Comfort Cuisine which stood before it. Pittsburghers old—and young—are flocking to this new iteration of space and cuisine that suits this diverse neighborhood perfectly. Interesting mains are Jimmy’s Signature Meatloaf, Roasted Half Chicken, and the Tavern Steak. So, too, are the deviled eggs appetizer, about which my mother made me a snob. Other popular selections include the Build Your Own Burger option and the Southwestern Salmon Wrap. Domestic and imported wine and beers, and craft cocktails are also offered. This restaurant could become a new Pittsburgh classic. Open for dinner Tuesday through Saturday.1100 S. Braddock Ave., Regent Square.
