    Ella was our server. She was fantastic and the food was even better. Of course the view is one of the best in Pittsburgh. Overall, we appreciate the high level of excellence, service, and attention to detail (ie all of the complimentary treats throughout the meal).

    Multiple time visitor here, the pork chop is still the most astounding dish in Pittsburgh. Hands down incredible. Tried the Pucker Up dessert and was blown away. Can’t even begin to describe it, just get it!

    Delicious food (best in Pittsburgh) and very attentive service. Great view of Pittsburgh. A bit expensive (especially for their daily specials) even with the elevated experience. Definitely a special occasion destination.

    Dining at Altius was a good experience. The service was great! The food presentation was great and everything was well made, the main complaint for the food is that some items were over-seasoned while others underseasoned. Overall 4/5.

    We have been going here for 10 years. This was our most disappointing experience. Every bit of our meal from amuse bouche to dessert was heavily salted. My husband ordered the filet and the plate looked like it could have come out of any chain restaurant. The high end dining just wasn't represented in the food. We always look forward to a meal at Altius. We are hoping this is a one off night.

    It was all very good, and I wasn't exactly going there looking for value! My only complaint was that they brought the food way too fast. I mean, you go to a place like Altius to enjoy the view and have a relaxed evening, not to be rushed by the kitchen!

    Great experience. The view is unbeatable. Our server was wonderful and very attentive. She offered several suggestions and explained the menu. I had an unbelievable Ribeye, cooked perfectly and seasoned well. Our appetizers were great as we had the Salmon crispy rice and Lamb Rangoon. Great bites. Great place for date night !
