Fantastic meal and fantastic service. Definitely going again
Fantastic meal,outstanding service, and the view of Pittsburgh is 2nd to none
It was an awesome experience. Every time we’ve gone to Monterey Bay the food is impeccable the service is spot on it’s a great place to enjoy a special meal. We felt very safe with their extra COVID-19 protections.
It has been awhile from our last visit because of pandemic. The food is great and the service is excellent.
As always impeccable service. Our meals from the appetizers to the entree through dessert were absolutely delectable.
Cheers to the entire staff.
Food was excellent. Our server was over the top. I would highly recommend the crab cakes!
Everything was outstanding. Would definitely recommend. Plan on returning.
Beginning with the valet service, from the appetizers to the first course to the entrees and through dessert, everything was perfect. Our server, Cynthia was attentive, professional yet made us feel like an old friend finally back at home. We went on a Tuesday and had no problems obtaining a 5:45 pm table for 3. COVID-19 precautions were in place and everything went smoothly. The Lobster Romano was so good! Definitely a visit here we can only afford once a year. :)
It was amazing the view was great prefect way to spend our 5year anniversary.
The food was decent, but way over priced for what you get. The server was very friendly, but slow. I won't go out of my way to go back.
Very nice Evening. The wait staff was attentive and very effiecient.
The management was so accommodating and food was delicious! We just love coming to Monterey Bay!
Our dining experience was phenomenal- the food was exquisite and our waiter- Anthony, was amazing- everything we ordered was prepared perfectly and was absolutely delicious. I can't wait to return.
Monterey Bay Fish Grotto is an outstanding choice for fine dining. The service is top notch and the ambiance is second to none. Chef Edwin is a star, who can work magic with any food. I highly recommend and consider the Monterey Bay Fish Grotto, as the place to go in the Pittsburgh area.
We were unaware due to covid they have a limited menu. We normally come knowing we can have our selection of fresh fish any way we would like it. Seating & spacing was excellent Covid guidelines are in place. Asked waiter specifically could they prepare Ahi Tuna shasimi style with soy and Wasabi on the side. It came out as Chef's selection, not as ordered. They were very accommodating and offered us something else. The Scallops served with parmesean cream were excellent.
In addition we were celebrating a birthday so our waiter brought out 3 desserts for the inconvience. We love this restuarant but would prefer to go back when they are closer to a normal menu, but certainly understand restrictions due to Covid. Just wish we would have been informed in someway of the restricted menu.
Great service and food as always!
We had a wonderful time for our anniversary. Will definitely go back
What a wonderful night. Thank you guys! Food was delicious, will be back often
Absolutely fantastic. A most perfect experience.
Absolutely incredible. Fast and polite service, exemplary food and music. It was a touch expensive, however, I am aware that you're not just paying for the food.
The staff and food at this location is EXCELLENT! From the time we were greeted to our server and the manager checking on us, we felt welcomed and valued as customers and the food is absolutely top notch! Fresh fish, fresh vegetables, made in house soups and salads and locally sourced ingredients and desserts. The view of the city is also spectacular! Definitely stop here when visiting Pittsburgh and take a ride on the Incline up Mt Washington while you're at it !! :)
My food was prepared perfectly. The scallops and asparagus were delish. The only complaint I had was the diningroom was a little chilly probably due to all the windows. My husband and I had a wonderful Valentines Dinner. Thank you.
Juana was a our server. She was fantastic, very attentive. Food was excellent. Entire staff was great! Would recommend anyone to go!
I took my wife and family here for her 50th birthday. The service was excellent. The food was fantastic, and the view of downtown Pittsburgh was unbelievable!
Great service, wonderful atmosphere, and fantastic food.
The food was delicious. We will definitely be going back again.
Overall amazing experience, would definitely come back again. Great place for a special occasion.
Wonderful atmosphere, excellent service! I have never dined on Mt. Washington before, and I'm happy that we came here. The food selection was large, and there was something for just about anyone.
We have visited numerous times. Because of the virus there is a limited menu. We were not pleased at all with our choices. Also, for what you get it is to pricey.
We come here every year for Valentine’s Day/Anniversary’s & Birthdays! Our favorite splurge restaurant. Couldn’t be any better! Except if they brought back the bananas foster cheesecake!😋
Excellent overall. If there was anything, it was the choice of background music. It was like 70s elevator music.
The service was fantastic, as well as the food. Highly recommend the lobster romano dish.
As always love this place
Always awesome
Very nice restaurant. It was foggy during our dinner but I’m sure the view is normally great. Food was very good, service outstanding and atmosphere perfect for a Valentine’s Day dinner
Great food and views. The service was very personable and prompt. Overall this place is a must for an unforgettable experience.
Food fantastic. Service impeccable. The view, can't get a better view of gorgeous downtown Pittsburgh at night. Price, well unless you are a 10% er it is a very special occasion stop.
Everything was fantastic and the Angel Food Grileld Cheese is the best desert ever.
One of the best places in Pittsburgh.
