The Waterfront and Yokoso!

Yesterday Ashley and I went down to the waterfront, which is one of the nicest places to go on a sunny day, and yesterday was the perfect day. It was sunny all day and 80 degrees! To bad it’s like 30 degrees today and it’s been snowing on and off all day. Gotta love Pittsburgh weather! Anyways the waterfront is a very new development in the homestead area. It is in the place of old steel mills. The waterfront has a lot of offer. There is an outdoor mall, many different restaurants, and a Loews Theater. The outdoor mall is great to walk around and all of the different shops are nice. Also there are a lot of restaurants that you won’t find anywhere else in Pittsburgh like Dave & Buster’s. For lunch we decided on Yokoso! Japanese Steak House because Ashley and I love Japanese food!

Since it was such a nice day we were able to eat outside. Well I’ll start with Ashley’s meal. She got the most expensive thing on the menu! It was the Seafood Lover’s Combo, which is scallops, shrimp, and Lobster. The meal also came with fried rice and cooked vegetables. All this for a whopping $32.50!

I decided on the Steak & Shrimp which is NY Strip steak and of course shrimp. My meal also came with fried rice and cooked vegetables. Both meals also included salad with ginger dressing and soup. Does anyone know how to make ginger dressing? It is the only dressing I like! My meal was $25.50.

The food was very good, but not the best Japanese place that I have been to. The best still is Sapporo Japanese Steakhouse. Still I have to give a thumbs up to Yokoso! for having tables outside. Easting outside is very relaxing especially on a nice day like yesterday was and not many places in Pittsburgh have an outside eating area.

I’m always in town..? Was I not before? Confused haha

I’ll be in Pittsburgh until June-July. Then I’m moving to San Francisco with the girl to start full-time job. Can’t wait.

What did you have to drink ?

Was the service fast ?

Easy to park there ?

Thanks for the links to the dressing, I’m gonna have to try that out!

The shots were better because we were outside and no flash was used, sunlight is so much better than a flash!

To drink I had my usual water with lemon, and I had a sprite. Ashley had a coke. The service was not super fast, but not super slow either, about normal. Well we parked by the outdoor mall, and it was during the afternoon so it was not busy at all, so I would say parking was easy.

Thanks for the comments!
