    If you want a truly special night with your lady this is the place. On the pricier end of the scale but you know what? Yolo. Some of the best steak and finest cocktails I’ve ever had. Next time i’m in downtown pittsburgh for a special occasion i’ll definitely be back!

    10/10 experience. The prime was perfection. The sauces were great, comes with horseradish cream and we ordered the bone marrow red wine sauce. We shared the gem salad, potatoes and mushrooms … all incredible. I will dream about the stuffed olives in the dirty martini! Say yes to the caviar bump! And the Japanese cheesecake was great. Already planning our next trip!

    Our first time at the Rib Room. After walking through the vibrant and interesting Meat and Potatoes Restaurant, we were taken to the Rib Room, a small unscripted, sad room. The service was first class. The ambience was bland. The crab cakes were exceptional. The wagyu prime rib was less flavorful than most prime rib restaurants. We saw nothing special about the Room or the food, and left very disappointed.....

    Lovely experience in an intimate setting! In addition, the noise level was quiet and inviting. Great prime rib, service and the Baked Alaska was so fun. Highly recommend!!

    Exceptional meal in a unique small room offshoot of Meat & Potatoes. The prime rib is phenomenal (and I don’t normally love prime rib), the drinks outstanding and the starters and side dishes are first rate.

    Rib Room was phenomenal - an intimate setting, an exquisite menu, and fantastic service. Our highlights were the wagyu carpaccio, lobster risotto, prime rib, and baked Alaska!

    For the price, I expected to be wow'd and I was not. It was ok, but I wouldn't go back.
