Experienced chef serves eclectic American cuisine including Black Angus filet mignon & cold-water lobster in elegant, cozy atmosphere
Tables at fine-dining restaurants are known for their fancy white-linen outfits, unlike tables in home kitchens, which are notorious for going nude. Dress up for a nice meal with today’s Groupon: for $17, you get $35 worth of sophisticated American cuisine at The Station Brake Café in Wilmerding.
Open since 1986, The Station Brake Café pays tribute to its railroad-town heritage in both name and the sophisticated American cuisine that comprises its diverse menu, which the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in 2006 characterized as one that “would make [George] Westinghouse proud.” Modern-day magnates can tell scary stories of graduated income taxes around the restaurant’s welcoming fireplace, as they stoke appetites with a fresh, thick-sliced provolone wheel, which is hand breaded, deep-fried and served with garden-fresh basil marinara ($6.99). Skip straight to the main course with a choice of pasta topped with stuffed banana peppers, brimming with a blend of sweet and hot sausage and simmered in marinara ($13.99). A 9-ounce New York strip steak ($15.99) or 6-ounce Black Angus filet mignon ($18.99) leaps off the grill to join a side of sautéed mushrooms or can be cast-iron blackened with Cajun brown-butter sauce for a Bourbon Street–style feast prepared with sustainable, locally sourced Voodoo spells (an additional $2 each). The eatery pushes the limits of surf and turf, adding a double dose of turf in the Chef’s Potpourri, which decorates plates with filet mignon, lamb loin chop, and cold-water lobster tail ($28.99).
Evening diners sup beneath the stars under the main dining room's glass-roofed atrium. Meanwhile, the restaurant’s fine china and white linen tablecloths complement Chef Tony's sophisticated cuisine without resorting to the tiny steak top hats or duck a l'orange monocles used by other upscale bistros.

About The Station Brake Café
When the Station Brake Cafe first opened in 1986, owner Tom Setz made a commitment to gourmet Italian-inspired cuisine. Today, his menu features traditional veal marsala in wine sauce alongside creatively named dishes such as Chefs Potpourri---A trio of filet mignon, lobster tail and lamb loin chop.
The eatery still boasts its original decor, which weaves exposed brick, stained glass, vintage woodwork, and carpet into a dining room that evokes memories of homey family dinners and belie the gourmet cuisine. Arching solarium windows bathe diners in natural light from the ground up and, in the corner, a stone fireplace crackles with heat to fend off the winter chill or dispose of secret messages scrawled on cocktail napkins.
