    Over priced for mediocre and rather flavorless too thickly cut prime rib. Wine was also way over-priced….Wouldn’t go back, wouldn’t recommend.

    Overall, good experience. Obviously, the prime rib was the star of the show. It was perfect. Surprisingly, the mashed potatoes were the best out of all the sides we tried. Lobster mac, fried brussels, and the creamed spinach were just alright. The baked alaska was more about the show than the flavor. I would go again for the steak and potatoes.

    After hearing the hype we made a date night out of it. We’re no strangers to the DeShantz grouping of restaurants and like them all. This was a miss. The hood is that the ambiance is intimate and we could share a conversation easily. Service was attentive throughout and we had no complaints about that. Our appetizer of rigatoni was perfectly cooked and the vodka sauce had a slight kick. The accompaniments to our prime rib were perfect too- the pastrami bacon was the best thing we had. The fries were addicting. The baked potato was fine too. More au jous would have been nice to share and go with the yorkshire pudding. Sadly the star, the prime rib, was not good overall. Pieces were fine but there were too many inedible parts. The fat was hard, almost like cartilage, as it was cooked down enough and parts of our cuts were tough to cut through. Bummer for a $250 dinner.

    Service was slow. Had to ask to turn the rap music down. Was really loud and not what I’d expect from what is suppose to be a high end experience. Most disappointing, the creamed spinach. So obviously chopped frozen spinach. The “cream” aspect was non existent. Border line cold too. Holes in the wall next our seat, again, not very high end. Thermidor and Alaska was good.

    I had been trying to get a reservation since The Rib Room opened; finally getting one after so long made it that much better. The food was sublime, the service was outstanding. This is definitely an experience worth splurging for. I cannot wait to return!

    Outstanding - that’s what immediately comes to mind. From the ambience to the food to the service. Go hungry, have an open mindset, ask the waiters their suggestions, and truly enjoy the experience. The Wagyu Carpaccio was insane, so definitely recommend getting that dish. Truly an incredible experience.

    The food was good but I wouldn’t consider Rib Room a memorable “dining experience” in the least. My impression was created when we were asked to place our order three times within <10 minutes of being seated, after kindly communicating that we weren’t yet ready to order. The waitress told us we had to order everything at one time, which, although not a big deal, felt as if we were being rushed within seconds of sitting down. The waitress must have left because we never saw her again; perhaps that’s why she rushed us to enter our order. No one ever asked how we were enjoying our meal, but the other waitress who was in the room then cleared our table and brought the check. We had the 8pm seating on a Friday and the table next to us was empty. Overall, underwhelming and not worth the hype of needing to secure a reservation eight weeks in advance. For the price, there are better restaurants in Pittsburgh.

    An absolutely amazing experience. It’s luxurious, exclusive, and has downright delicious food and drinks. The servers were knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. The food is some of the best I have ever had. The Beef Carpaccio is one of the best things I’ve ever tasted and whoever thought that one up is an absolute genius. This place deserves to be recognized by all major food publications, everything they did, they did beyond expectation!

    The food was delicious and it was a cool experience. With a large group it got a little loud because of the confined space, but that didn't bother us - just a little surprising. All of our courses were perfect. Some may appreciate the access to the Meat and Potatoes menu as well. Would definitely recommend for a special evening out.

    Incredible food with a very knowledgeable and friendly waiter. Everything we ate was delicious (kings cut, lobster Mac, fried Brussels, and carpaccio). The carpaccio was our favorite of the night and the drinks were delicious as well.
