    We had a lovely meal seated at a glass window table. The weather and view were perfect. The food was very good. I selected this restaurant weeks ago as a special place to go for fine dining in Pittsburgh. I’d like to say it hit every mark, but I found my rack of lamb dish to be overly salty. I care about my salt consumption and I never expected this. It was a long time before anyone checked on us and at that point it was too late. I mentioned it to my server and there was really nothing they could do. They gave us one free dessert to make up for it. I don’t think I ate 10% of the meal. This was not intentional and just a bad situation on what was really a wonderful night otherwise.

    Our service was very good, as was the food, but we were disappointed that two tables on the window wall (with the obvious view) remained empty almost throughout our dinner. We were seated at a small two person table. We thought perhaps they didn’t want to sit two people at a four chair table. Fair enough. But both tables were then occupied by two people. The restaurant knew it was a significant night for us, but unfortunately we didn’t get the available best table. Disappointing.

    Always a lovely dining experience from the Hostess, wait staff and manager to the wonderful menu that includes my favorite, caviar beautifully presented, I appreciate the chef accommodating my Keto requests in a thoughtful manner to keep the flavors complimentary. Just a great restaurant. Oh and I forgot the fabulous view! Hahaha

    The view is amazing but the food and service might actually be better. It’s expensive but we only come here on special occasion. We’ve never been sorry about our decision.

    Altius is a top tier restaurant that offers gastronomic masterpieces with consistency. We have made it our pledge to go there for each our wedding anniversaries. The food, service, ambience, view of Pittsburgh, professionalism of the staff - from desk to server - have always been Michelin-caliber. Go there!

    Our meals were delicious with each item having a long list of complementary ingredients and flavors. The halibut and duck entrees were executed perfectly and thoroughly enjoyed. The Thai colossal crab soup was delicious, but the crab was anything but "colossal". I should have been wary when, after placing my order, the waiter immediately asked if I would like extra crab added to the dish. The soup was already $18 for an appetizer portion, so I declined indicating that I would like to enjoy the soup as the chef prepared and intended it to be plated. When it was presented there were two 3/4 inch long, very thin flakes of crab placed on the bottom of the bowl onto which the creamy Thai soup was poured. Unlike any crab soup previously enjoyed, there was no taste of crab, but the spicy Thai soup was delicious. Otherwise, our evening of elevated dining was very enjoyable.

    The focaccia, bao buns and Chilean sea bass were all wonderful. The service was flawless.

    Food, atmosphere and service were outstanding. The price for what you get is pretty good but I wish I could’ve reserved. A seat with a better view is really the only complaint.
