Testing different types of Don Perrignon Champagnes for $100 was really a nice opportunity. We enjoyed a 2005, Rose and P2. It was wonderful. All of this around Oysters.I was surprised to not see more people signing up for this.I hope more events like this one are being offered in Pittsburgh.Last year we went to a La Veuve Cliquot testing at Ruth Christie and it was also fantastic

Dined alfresco this weekend and the food was a wonderful as ever. Stuffed Flounder, Chicken and Shrimp Clams with green sauce, Chicken Croquettes, Lobster Cannoloni, always perfect Sangria,outrageous sorbet for dessert and the ever attententiveness of our Captain - Manny! We could have been dining on the Iberian Penninsula - Mallorcas' flavors and service can not be equaled in the city. Consistently excellent.

My mate and I had the pleasure of having lunch here one day during a recent visit to Pittsburgh. Yes, the place is very, very nice, old school club style, excellent waiters, and top quality, top presentation culinary offerings. My mate had a surf and turf like plate, with great shrimp (Wild GA Shrimp, I hope) and steak, all nicely done and served what you might call French style, with plenty of sauce. Lots. On the other hand, my Mahi Creole style dish was excellent. Perfect. All was well; happy to be there. Top end of Ameriican/European style food. I might rather have a top end pho ga, however.

Being from Chicago, I'm fascinated by the rebirth of the cities that used to belong to what was called the "Rust Belt" in the 1960s and 1970s...which did indeed sink to sad depths in those decades.Thankfully, Pittsburgh's resurgance is evident in many ways...which include this delightful eatery in an old industrial area just east of the downtown along the Alleghany River.Everything we had on the menu was great(including the service...enjoy!

We can’t say enough about this classic Pittsburgh restaurant from the 1900s.The warm homemade garlic rolls with butter or salmon pate was an amazing start to our dinner experience.The food was elegantly presented and uniquely prepared with special vegetables, etc.The restaurant was fully booked, but you would not have known based on the great service that was provided by the entire staff.The valet service and cost are high but for special occasions this is the best.Try to request the riverfront dining area for an amazing evening dinner experience.

We had a nice dinner here. We did not have a reservation, so they sat us the bar area. It was comfortable there, and we had a lovely waiter. Food was good, but a bit pricey for what it is. We were celebrating our anniversary, so the waiter brought us a free creme brûlée, which was very nice.

We wanted a nice sit-down dinner on our last night of a long Steelers weekend. Steak & seafood are both featured here & we had a little of both. Our waitress connected with us immediately -- it was a quiet Sunday evening. She was welcoming & carefully explained the menu, each unique item & especially appreciated -- she said the sides should be plentiful if we had 2 -3. The shrimp was a preparation I had never had, swordfish was meaty, steak & lobster rocked ! Lemon drop martinis added bonus as the bartender had a heavy hand.

We decided a couple nights before that we'd like to try the MBFG. However, we were unable to get a reservation on a Saturday night until later than we'd like (after 8:45 pm). We checked back a couple of times and ended up getting a 7:15 reservation. We drove up Grandview Ave early evening to check out the view from the look out area. It's as awesome as you may have seen it described. It was still early and we decided to go into the restaurant and see if we could be seated before our reservation. Fortunately, they have a nice lounge area with tables near the windows so we could have a drink and enjoy the view. We ended up eating our meal in the lounge and it worked out great. My recommendation is that if you're unable to get a reservation arrive early and try to get a seat at one of the tables in the lounge. You can order off the same menu as the dining room. The view may be a bit more spectacular in the dining area because the windows are floor to ceiling, but the view in the lounge is also great. The dress code is pretty relaxed. Now for the food. Everything was excellent. I had the Halibut prepared with the pineapple butter and it was the best I've ever had. Slightly spicy and the fish was very tender and juicy. My husband enjoyed the lemon Sole and my son ordered the filet. This was one of our best meals and completely worth the price. BTW, the prices are similar to other fine seafood and steak places in other large cities. Thank you for your insightful review. I could not agree more with you that our lounge is a fantastic option for when we are heavily booked in our main dining room. Thrilled that you and your family were able to enjoy our restaurant while in town.
