    Honestly for what you pay, the food isn’t amazing. It’s not bad, but you won’t walk away talking about it and recommending it to people. If you’re lucky enough to be at a window seat, sure, you’re paying for the view and the food is passable because you’re so taken with the view. But if you’re in a back table and then you get this food for the exorbitant prices, it doesn’t really feel worth it. You’re better off getting some amazing eats at places like Spork or other great food spots in the city.

    Incredible as always. Luke recommended a gin I’ve never had before, which was fantastic. Ellen took great care of us the whole night—and made sure we had some extra popcorn to take home. BTW, the popcorn is always fantastic, but tonight was above and beyond. Sun dried tomato and Parmesan… The pace was perfect, the view is always a treat, and the food is top tier. Get the lamb shank. There is a reason why Altius is known as a top 3 restaurant in Pittsburgh, if not the absolute best. Worth every penny.

    Outstanding food and service. Some folks in my party tried the chef’s specials (Branzino, Ribeye) and they did not disappoint. The view out the window was spectacular. I would definitely recommend.

    Hosted out of town guests who thoroughly enjoyed the view, service and food. Quiet enough for business discussions. Well trained staff who do not hover but are available to handle every need. One of the best restaurants in Pittsburgh.

    My husband and I had dinner here for our 11th Anniversary and they took great care of us. The staff started by giving us a table with an absolutely beautiful view from the hills and other gestures that made our Anniversary special. The food was outstanding and the service was great!

    The seasonal meatball appetizer was superb, as was the she crab soup. Then I had the best pork chop I've ever eaten. Even the brussel sprouts were phenomenal. It was a truly outstanding meal with excellent service and a beautiful view of the city.
