We went to celebrate our 63rd anniversary and had a great time! The service was superb and they included a few little "special" touches to aid the celebration. The food was excellent, although the ribeye steak could have used a bit of aging to tenderize it. The atmosphere and decor was very fancy and a tasteful reminder of how a special night out in a restaurant used to feel; a welcome contrast to the style (and noise) of current restaurants. The view out the floor to ceiling wall of windows was absolutely spectacular! A terrific place for a special occasion or to impress a visitor to the 'burgh! We have some out of town company coming soon and intend to bring them!

Met old friends for dinner...great atmosphere, service was exceptional, our waitress was so friendly and knowledgeable (I believe her first day with your group). She actually remade our french martini correctly. It was amazing. Wine selection was top notch. And that Menu!!! My goodness...can't get much better. Small menu's are my thing. We each had something different and they were all phenomenal.

Started off with the duck paté served with grilled bread. It was outstanding. The prime rib was the best we have ever had. The sides were very tasty too (spinach, mashed potatoes and fries). Finished off with a delicious baked alaska. The service was wonderful too. We will certainly be back.

We were visiting from our of town and arrived about 20 minutes before our reservation and were seated right away on the outdoor patio upstairs. It was a great spot to enjoy our meal after a day of exploring the city. The garlic parmesan wings were a standout, possibly the best I've ever had. The burgers were also delicious. The restaurant was very busy, since we arrived just after the Pirates game had ended, but service was still good and our server kept our water full and made sure to refill my son's soda when he needed it. We'll definitely be back if we find ourselves back in Pittsburgh again.
