It was a fantastic experience going here. We went to celebrate with a “Bachelor Dinner” for a gentleman who was just married. The service was great and they were very friendly and quick with what they did. Checked on us a lot. The food was amazing. The sauce they used on the King Salmon and the pumpkin gnocchi beneath it was phenomenal. Highly recommended place to eat. The view of the city from where we sat was a great sight to see too. They have valet if you can’t find parking outside. Go with a group and have a great time
I went for dinner and everything from the food to the service, to the amazing skyline view was simply outstanding. The moment I walked in, the team made me feel genuinely welcome. Giovanni, my server, was incredible, knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to explain every dish and cocktail without ever making me feel rushed. Mick, the GM, was equally wonderful and made sure everything was perfect throughout the evening. I tried one of their cocktails, the out-of-menu shrimp, risotto, and crab - every bite was phenomenal. The focaccia bread and butter alone were heavenly! The attention to detail, presentation, and warmth of the staff made the entire experience unforgettable. If you’re in Pittsburgh and looking for a place that combines world-class food with thoughtful service and a stunning atmosphere, Altius should be at the very top of your list. Highly recommend! Will visit again.
One of my favorite spot ! Always great view ! Staff very kind and helpful ! Best dishes I ever had , they always bring something new to the menu ! Unbelievable appetizers ! Love this place 1000%
We went for the New Year’s Eve course menu for 2026! We just got engaged before attending. Our waiter was very nice and knowledgeable about the menu. They started us out with truffle pepper popcorn. Really yummy and more interesting than bread. Then we ate a delicious cream-cheese roe filled cone - loved it. Our first course was meatballs and heron point crab toast. The meatballs were filled with cheese - sauce tasted authentically Italian. The toast tasted okay but we’ve had that before elsewhere much cheaper. The soup courses - lobster and mushroom tasted FABULOUS. SO DELICIOUS!!!! Def recommend. Main courses were steak and sea bass. Both were adequate - steak’s truffle side wasn’t to my liking but perhaps another person would enjoy - texture tasted too sticky. I also thought that the sauce on the carrots overpowered the dish for me - tasted more like sour cream chip dip than a sophisticated sauce. Steak cooked and seasoned very well. Sea bass fell apart in our mouths - excellent. Desserts lovely - we don’t drink alcohol so the frozen champagne in the coconut vanilla mouse took over the dish. Flourless chocolate cake a little dry but gooey. It contained these cream covered chocolate balls that tasted SPECTACULAR - soft and creamy, but the walnut inside ruined the texture and had no taste compared to the richness of the cream. View is amazing but this restaurant is not handicap friendly so that is why I gave it a 4/5.
Came here for my birthday and Altius did not disappoint. The Footprints Farm Chicken and the NY Strip were both 10/10. We also highly recommend the charcuterie board to start. The cocktails were expert-level and the service was seamless. Best of all? You can’t beat that view of the city. I was so full I couldn’t even manage dessert.. a sign of a great meal!
Everything about this place is top notch. Views of the city are beautiful, food is excellent as you would expect, but the service and hospitality was world class which is what impressed me the most. Zach was our server and he went above and beyond and if we're ever back in Pittsburgh we'll definitely be back!
I've dined at several of Pittsburgh’s standout restaurants, and Altius has consistently impressed me. Every dish is thoughtfully crafted, bursting with nuanced flavors in every bite. The portions are perfectly balanced generous enough to leave you satisfied, yet light enough that you can explore multiple plates without feeling overwhelmed. The chefs continually innovate, and I’m always struck by their creativity and execution. From the refined atmosphere with amazing views to the exceptional food and seamless service, Altius strikes an elegant balance that’s hard to find. It’s easily the best restaurant I’ve tried in the city. If you haven’t been, I highly recommend giving it a try. 🍽️✨
The location and view is amazing. The food was incredible we would recommend the Chilean SeaBass but everything was delicious, 10 of us for dinner so lots of unique selections and all exceptional. Save room for dessert. They were very patient as we arrived at 8.30 and were there until after 11. Highly recommend, prices high but you get what you pay for
Took my Friend here for her birthday, this was our second visit and just as before the service was exceptional! The oysters were fresh and shucked properly , the caviar was delicious and everything that came out was pure delight. The waitress was a sweetheart and very accommodating. Unfortunately we got sat at a smaller table so it was a bit cramped for room but still a wonderful place. If you have the opportunity definitely consider coming to Altius!
Beautiful views, exceptional service and good food! My only two knocks were that the lobster bisque was not very warm and did not have much lobster and the “Summer Sangria” was giving major fall (had apples and cinnamon) vibes. Our family absolutely loved all of the appetizers we had and the desserts! Steaks were all delicious!
