Always love to come back here 😍 my fav seafood restaurant in Pittsburgh - tried almost everything on the menu and they're all delicious. Love the jumbo sea scallops with a side of asparagus.
Upvoted Mar 19- For dessert, try the angel food (voted best one in Pgh) or the steaming chocolate latte (shown here). The first one comes with a tasty berries sauce and the second one is chocolate rich and creamy.
- The server recommended the yellow fin tuna and it turned out to be amazingly good. I got the port one with a side of Brussel sprouts (the best b sprouts I have ever had). So definitely recomm this :)
Farah RecommendsOctober 20, 2016One of the best salmon dishes I had. The strawberry-wine sauce flavor on the salmon makes it really unique. I would have this order every time I am here just because of how well-executed this recipe.
Hamid Alan9arySeptember 27, 2020Professional and very friendly staff. Great view and nice ambiance. The scallops were my favorite, so was salmon. It’s fine dining, but I think it’s slightly overpriced.
Jim WolterOctober 8, 2013Awesome. Jr made reservations for his mothers birthday. He got the best table in the house. Really corner over looking Pittsburgh service was 5+, food was fantastic. We were treated like royalty.- BrianNovember 5, 2015Jumbo sea scallops stuffed with crab cake!! The service is impeccable. The view is stunning. Get there early or off hours to secure a spot. Didn't like the whiskey sour but the food made up for it.
- Brittany SimmonsNovember 3, 2016Extraordinary view of the city! Perfect for a romantic date or a big celebration. The food is a bit pricy but it's worth it for the overall experience.
Debaraj DasNovember 1, 2013Excellent sea food! I tried Lobstar soup and Ahi Sashimi Tuna - awesome! Great view overlooking Pittsburgh downtown.
- AerieFebruary 22, 2012If you're looking for dinner and a view, this is your place. With the freshest seafood in the city and a gorgeous view atop Mt. Washington, you won't leave disappointed.- Mandy, Marketing Coordinator
Pam RFebruary 13, 2013The Ahi Tuna Oscar style was perfectly prepared. The asparagus was delicious with the perfect amount of snap. The Hollandaise sauce didn't drown the tuna but complimented it.
Louis HansellApril 1, 2016The Brussel Sprouts, yellow tail tuna, and everything else is very good. Desserts are a must. And the view is spectacular.
Kristen SussmanMay 17, 2013Absolutely gorgeous with some of the best seats near the second (really like the 18th) floor. Oysters Rockefeller and French Kiss hit the spot!
Peter MercerMay 31, 2013Got the Filet Mignon. Greatest steak I've ever eaten and best view of Pittsburgh in the city. Ask for Glen to be your waiter!
Kevin JettonFebruary 23, 2014Food and the view are both #1....awesome food and views at night their menu and prep have never disappointed me nor my guests when in town.and
Bryan PowellSeptember 29, 2018The views are great! The wine list and the food are not that great. I would not go back
- Mollie GannonSeptember 16, 2018Back again for drinks & that fabulous angel food grilled cheese dessert. Best dessert in town. Extraordinarily rude service tonight though.....very disappointing. Waiter’s behavior was appalling.
Andrew StephenSeptember 15, 2011Super tasty food despite the touristy and "special dinner" vibe. Great service too. Will go back for sure
Amanda ClelandMay 23, 2011Worth the money & the trip. Get the seafood sampler, small portion but the flavors are amazing.
@HungryEditor Ben SetiawanJuly 25, 2011Popular w/ the tourist set, but for good reason b/c the views are stellar...potentially the best in the city.
JustinJanuary 30, 2011You can get anything on the menu Oscar (with crab meat on top). Also the Salmon is delicious!
DavidOctober 21, 2012This place never disappoints. Best view on Mt. Washington and a delicious menu!
Alison DeckerJuly 14, 2012Before you leave, go down to the lounge area for an even more spectacular view of the city.
- @HungryEditor Ben SetiawanJuly 25, 2011The food is decent, but not amazing. You can go for drinks & still enjoy the great views 1 level below.
Angela Sanchez De AristiguietaAugust 14, 2014Excelente restaurant , hermosa vista de la Ciudad y el menu. Dios mio. Espectacular.
