Excellent food, great view, and awesome service. 4 stars because I thought the sushi list was a little narrow, especially for rolls. But otherwise excellent

The food was great and our chef was very friendly. We had the steak Diane and the lobster tail, both were amazing. The steak was tender and very delicious, and the lobster tail was really good and well presented. The view was great too.

My wife and I were disappointed at a restaurant down the street. They couldn’t seat us for at least half an hour. We pivoted and found an open reservation online at The Waterfront. We were seated promptly and greeted by Scott, our waiter. It was a very busy evening on the bay front because of an event at the convention center. Nevertheless, the service and the food were excellent! Scott could not have been nicer or more attentive. As if that wasn’t enough, two managers checked on us to see if we needed anything! The whole experience was amazing.

The Steel Mill Saloon is my go to whenever I am in Pittsburgh. Discovered it a couple of years ago, and I recommend it to everyone who is looking for a place with good food, good vibes and a good view. Our waitress Annalise did a great job with our party of five. The location, across from the Duquesne incline and the views of the city along with Acrisure Stadium are an added bonus.

The view at the Allegheny Grille is so beautiful and calming. The river flows by so calm and quiet, and a few fishermen were working the shallows in front of the restaurant. Quite a lovely afternoon. The food was very good and their French fries have great flavor and wonderful crisp. Love going there every fall for lunch.
