The food, the service and the atmosphere are always great!

Birthday celebration was wonderful! Shout out to Danielle and John. Thank you for making our evening so special!!

Best restaurant in Pittsburgh every time. The food and experience is worth the money

It was an absolute wonderful experience.

The crab cakes are the best I have had in Pittsburgh since Jake's of the Square closed. My husband--not a fish eater--had the swordfish and really, really liked it too. Finally, the noise level was a little loud because of a large table of very boisterous men--not your fault.

Special birthday during COVID-19 was Made safer by extra special care that was taken by all concerned.

We had an excellent experience starting with the hosts and the waiting area. Our server, mark, was phenomenal. He explained the food with such detail and guided us to make the best choices. Mark was very knowledgeable about the ingredients and was extremely professional throughout the meal. I would highly recommend.

This is a beautiful view with excellent food. The service is wonderful. The price is a but much but they were so great to work around my food allergies that it was worth it.

Monterey Bay has been my favorite restaurant for many years. The food is excellent, the staff greets guests as though they are welcoming family and friends, and the view of downtown Pittsburgh is priceless. The entire dining experience is a feast for all of the senses!

the best place for a special occasion where you are treated like an honored guest

Another excellent evening and dinner for our anniversary. Love this place

Perfect as always. This is my favorite restaurant in Pittsburgh by far.

Everything was wonderful from the time we pulled up. The valet staff was very friendly and directed us to the elevator. Once we got up to the restaurant the host said the our table would be ready shorty (we arrived early) and escorted us to a very nice waiting area. After a very short wait we got to our table and the view of the city was amazing. Our server was quick to get us water and take our drink order. She went over the specials with us and answered any questions that we had. We started with the trio appetizer and it was awesome. Everything on it was cooked to perfection. Our meals came out shortly after and they did not disappoint. The lobster Romano was excellent along with my wife's order of swordfish. We finished the night with desert that again was delicious. We will definitely come back and enjoy again.

Had a really magical evening. It was perfect for our out-of-town guests’ first visit to the city.

Monterey bay has it all! Great food, excellent service every time we go, and the view is amazing!

Top rate seafood. Dramatic view of Pittsburgh skyline. Service outstanding. Perfect for special occasions.

Great service! Great views and food was amazing! I will definitely return

We visit every year for our anniversary, and this year was just as great as years past. Great experience, food, and view.

Was there for a birthday for a friend, we were greeted with smiles and our waitress Cindy was PHENOMENAL. Told us about items that weren’t on the menu, and talked to us like it was before the pandemic. Refreshing to say the least, thank you again Cindy.

Can’t miss restaurant if visiting Pittsburgh. Views are amazing, food was exceptional. Ambiance was perfect.

Food was excellent, service was wonderful and view spectacular! All off us had ordered a different meal and we all enjoyed every bite! No complaints about anything!

Can't beat the view of downtown Pittsburgh! We went for an anniversary dinner and weren't disappointed.

Best crab cakes ever!

Monterey Bay has done an exceptional job with COVID precautions. This is only the second time we have dined out since February. Tables were spaced. All employees had masks. While the menu was limited there was still a wonderful selection. Our food was as excellent as in the past. We come every year to celebrate my mom’s birthday. Did not disappoint!!

Birthday and out of town visitor

Celebration

The perfect PITTSBURGH dining spot for date night

Wonderful food and staff. They made celebrating my engagement even more special.

We were treated in a special manner on a special birthday. Thanks MBFG!

great food

Monterey Bay exceeded our expectations! We just got married in a small ceremony and wanted to celebrate together before our larger ceremony. They were so friendly and accommodating. Our server was awesome and made it such a special night along with the managers. We will be back again!

Delicious as always. I professional and excellent service. Seafood was exceptionally fresh and cooked to perfection.

I was so disappointed. I've gone to Monteray many times of the past decade and I can confidently say it has only declined. If they didn't have that stellar view they would've been out of service 5 years ago. The highlight of my meal? The bread. The special appetizer was good, not great, just good. She crab soup? Nope: pumpkin soup. Salmon? No, you mean sugar, and more sugar, oh and the last ingredient? Sugar.

There are so many fabulous restaurants in Pittsburgh, don't waste your evening here.

It was our anniversary we try to celebrate it at Monterey Bay every year this year was a little late we got the same table we always have,had a great waitress and the view was great. We loved our waitress!!! And the food was great .

This is our favorite, go-to place for special evenings! The service, food and view are not to be missed.

Everything was perfect, the view was amazing and our server was the best I ever had her name was Mariam (I might be spelling it wrong) but she made sure she explained every dish and Dessert. She’s was literally a great person, personality was amazing

Beautiful restaurant and great service! Wonderful anniversary experience.

We had a special evening celebrating our 30th Anniversary at Pittsburgh's most romantic restaurant with the iconic views - Monterey Bay Fish Grotto. They very kindly served us dessert "on-the-house" and that made our celebration even that more wonderful.
Thanks to an excellent wait-staff, always welcoming service and an imaginative menu, we have only good things to say about Monterey Bay.
