I gave the food 4 stars only be cause I asked for a well done strip and it look has a lot of pink in it to the point I only at 2 bites of it. Otherwise it was great service, and such a beautiful setting. Bonus it was fireworks night at the Penguins game!

This was our third visit and we can’t wait until the fourth. From the time you enter to your last bite of dessert or last sip of after dinner drinks, Altius does not disappoint. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and very accommodating. The food is fabulous and delicious. The atmosphere is upbeat…not too quiet and not too loud. Highly recommend.

Dinner was fantastic. Our server Adam was friendly, attentive, and knowledgable about the menu and also gave us ample time to chat and make our selections. We never felt rushed, just sincerely welcome. It was a wonderful meal and a stunning environment with the view. I can’t wait to come back and ask for Adam again.

Every time we visit, it's nothing short of outstanding. Perfectly seasoned, balanced and composed food, with so much thought to color, texture and presentation. Also, we have had fantastic and friendly service, that has been the right mix of familiar and professional. I wish I could eat here every week.

Altius is hit or miss in my opinion. I ordered the duck breast medium rare and it was over cooked. For these prices the chef should execute better than I can do in my own kitchen. The leeks were undercooked. View and service were the best things about the meal.

Beautiful view but modern decor all in gray without any artwork/flowers had no personality. It just didn't have any character. Food was tasty and colorful but everything was over-salted as if the cooking and quality of ingredients can't speak for themselves. The prices were more than exclusive restaurants in Washington D.C. and frankly not worth it. The menu was conventional and only offers one vegetarian choice. The server made us feel entirely unwelcomed. We were overcharged, and it took forever for anyone to amend the bill. I still needed to call the credit card company to confirm. The evening was gray like the decor and uninspired. I'm very surprised that it is considered one of Pittsburgh's best. There are better.

Our server was incredible. Not sure if it was Jeff or Geoff but I can’t not say “my name is Jeff”. He was on the ball from recommendations and took dietary restrictions very seriously and made a vegan very happy! That itself is a form of excellence. Wine pairing recommendations were on point. I didn’t even have to tell him I’m a wine nerd. I will definitely come back, not a better view in Pittsburgh and I’m not sure you’ll find a better meal. Thanks again for the great anniversary!!

To begin, Kate (our server) was incredible and on top of everything. She really made experience excellent. They seated us at a corner table with the most incredible view of all three rivers. The food was perfectly prepared and presented. And the flavors were out of this world. (And it didn’t hurt that they brought us some amazing popcorn and a truly terrific house-made baguette.) I highly recommend the mushroom bisque and the pork chop with onions. You can’t go wrong at Altius.
