Altius

Altius boasts all of the makings of a 5-star restaurant, however, they fell slightly short of our expectations with their food. We sat downstairs and the view from the bar and our table was spectacular. We did have a later reservation and I wish we could’ve seen sunset but nevertheless, the views are immaculate of the city of Pittsburgh jf you have a clear night. The experience was wonderful. Our server was attentive without being overly intrusive of our night, and he was very knowledgeable about all of the dishes and drinks we had requested. Service was a 5/5, as well as the bar drinks. As for the food, it fell a bit short of our expectations. The complimentary popcorn was to die for - my husband wanted to ask for more it was that good! Appetizers were very good, as well as the dessert, however our main courses were “meh”. Part of my dish was cold while the other side was piping hot… it was a disjointed plate. My husband’s steak lacked any flavor and for the amount you’re paying, it was disappointing. *I will mention that we did go on the Friday of Valentine’s Day weekend (my birthday is unfortunately a few days before) so we weren’t sure if that’s why the food was subpar because the restaurant was packed. Our meal was almost $500 (with tip) for 2 people so be prepared to spend a pretty penny if you go. I would go again and give them another chance! Parking: There is a valet otherwise you’ll be parking on the street and there’s limited spots. Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly - no children’s menu and more of a fine dining experience.

This is the first restaurant that I've ever dined at that actually asked me to pay for the meal in full when making the reservation weeks in advance. Been here multiple times in the past and the food has been good, not great! Definitely not pay in advance worthy.

My fiancé and I went here for my birthday. The food was amazing and the view was incredible. What truly made our night though was our waiter, Jake. He was truly phenomenal (very attentive, charismatic, fun, and had an all around amazing personality for this special night)! Thank you for making our night Jake!

Best Rest in the Burgh!
