    From breathtaking views, to exceptional service and food, this has become one of my favorite dining experiences. If you’re in Pittsburgh, this is a spot you can’t miss out on. Highlight dishes of the night were the Crab Cakes, Halibut and the Angel Food Grilled Cheese. Flavors, seasoning and quality of ingredients are spot on. Shout out to Sydney and Ann for making our night run smooth. Will be returning if I am ever back in PA.
