"Great service and good food. The chargrilled oysters were almost identical to the ones I had in New Orleans. The banana foster bread pudding is out of this world!"

Monterey Bay Fish Grotto

★★★★☆ 4.2 (780) • $$$

"Monterey Bay Fish Grotto is an upscale seafood restaurant that is located on Mount Washington and offers gorgeous views of the Pittsburgh skyline. The dining room has two levels and has glass walls that allow customers to see downtown Pittsburgh's skyscrapers and rivers while they eat their meals. The menu lists foods such as oysters, calamari, shrimp, mussels, lobster, crab cakes, scallops, sea bass, flounder, salmon, swordfish, tuna, branzino, etcetera. My husband and I have eaten meals at this restaurant for over a decade. During our most recent meal, the seating hostess promptly greeted and seated us. Our waitress was prompt and courteous.Here are my reviews for our foods:Peach-Please mocktail - 5 stars. This mocktail contained peach ginger beer, ginger peach tea, blackberry syrup, and lime. Surprisingly, it tasted very sour, even after mixing it, but I really liked it. Mediterranean salad - 5 stars - I greatly enjoyed the large amount of greens, olives, cucumbers, tomatoes, green peppers, red onions, pepperoncini, chick peas, feta cheese, and red-wine vinaigrette. Caesar salad - 4 stars - This Caesar salad was fresh and tasted as expected.Seafood trio appetizer - 4.3 stars - The crab cake was very meaty and tasted very good (5 stars). Skewers contained chunks of tuna, swordfish, and salmon (4 stars). A couple of shrimp were nicely cooked and seasoned (4 stars). Jamaican king salmon - 5 stars - The salmon was cooked perfectly, and I liked its jerk seasoning, curry-butter sauce, and side of Caribbean confetti rice. Ahi big-eye tuna - 2.5 stars - My husband ate this entree, and he did NOT like the large amount of sinew or connective tissue, which gave the tuna an extremely chewy texture. Tuna is his favorite fish, and he orders it at many restaurants, and we have not seen so much sinew elsewhere. He did like the spicy sauce and the side of pesto linguini. Angel-food grilled-cheese sandwich - 5 stars - This dessert might sound unusual, but it was delicious. Caramelized angel food cake contained cream-cheese filling and was served with berry compote, vanilla ice cream, and almonds."

"Attended my first Thanksgiving buffet with a friend. They certainly know what they are doing. Our reservation was at 3:30 and it was bustling. We were seated within 20 minutes of our reservation time and had a great table with a view of Station Square and the river.Our server greeted us promptly and took our drink orders. I got a mojito which was very refreshing.The serving stations were abundant from salads to rolls to a carving station to the regular buffet line to desserts to a pasta station. Items included turkey, prime rib, shrimp, freshly made pumpkin donuts, among all the rest. Our server checked on us without us feeling rushed. It was a very worthwhile experience in a classic architectural building. Oh, and they have valet parking. I wish I had known beforehand to have saved us a walk from the parking garage."

Luke Wholey's Wild Alaskan Grille

★★★★☆ 3.9 (668) • $$

"A friend and I stopped by for a late lunch/early dinner on a December warm and sunny Saturday, a very busy day in the Strip District. We stopped in about 2:40pm with about a 35 minute wait to be seated. We gave our phone number for them to text us when ready. giving us time to continue shopping. The menu held many options we both were interested in. In the end, we both opted for the Grinchmas cocktail of pear vodka, schnapps, and pineapple with the coloring true to that of the Grinch. Nice and refreshing.Next we both opted for the same street taco combo of a mahi mahi taco and a Baja shrimp taco, both in a flour shell. They were huge and filling.Lastly, dessert. Of the choices of a chocolate mousse, creme Brule, and key lime pie, I took the mousse and my friend the key lime. The presentations were so eye appealing and no complaints on the taste.Our server was attentive and helpful."

Taiwanese Bistro Cafe 33

★★★★☆ 4.3 (525) • $$

"This is another one of those places my husband and I'd been meaning to try for awhile. It's a charming space, occupying a nondescript commercial building. We'd never tried Taiwanese food before, and I must say that it's a far cry from your normal Americanized Chinese food places (although I do like that kind of chow.)As an appetizer, I tried the Bean Curd Vegetable Soup with egg and my husband went for the Gua Bao Porkbelly Bun. Now I like quid, so I tried the Taiwanese Style Squid Stir fry, which was very good. My husband, a spicy food lover, tried the Chicken With Basil in Garlic in a Hot pot. Presentation of the food was good. The service was okay. We will be coming back soon."

"The lobster roll here was just great. Large portion, tasty, choice of spices . . . I highly recommend it. The service was fine.

Cockeye Bbq

★★★★★ 4.5 (273) • $$

"So many choices so little room in my stomach to eat it all.... But I tried. Pork rinds. I love them. Especially when they are fresh. These came in a pretty big paper bag and were suuuuper tasty. Brisket.... Just right. I think I got a little of each sauce and had fun dipping little pieces of it to try them all. The sauces were all great. But I liked the mustard one best. The burnt ends were my favorite. The sausage was spiiiicy! But so, so tasty! Collard greens were some of the best I've had. I couldn't eat it all and ended up eating the rest for lunch the next day. You definitely get your moneys worth. The kids got burgers and were very happy with them. The gal at the counter was super helpful and patient with the indecisive teens. It's probably a good idea I don't live nearby or I'd be here on the regular."

Firebirds Wood Fired Grill

★★★★☆ 3.6 (397) • $$

"Firebirds is a solid choice for the area, offering decent food with steaks that stand out. While it feels a notch above a typical chain restaurant, it's a reliable option for a satisfying meal. If you're staying nearby, it's worth a visit, but if you're able to venture into Pittsburgh, you'll find even more remarkable dining options."

Nakama

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (499) • $$$

"Let me start by saying I didn't pick this place. It was one of my daughter's volleyball teammates who picked it for a team dinner. I wasn't very thrilled because of the limited vegetarian options.While we were waiting for a few in our group to arrive I went to my my favorite review app to see what I was in for. I was disappointed to see how low their rating is compared to the price.That being said, the service was fantastic, the food was tasty, and I would definitely recommend if you like hibachi. Personally not my thing, but that's ok. The server and chefs were very very attentive to making sure everyone got exactly what they wanted and cooked it to their liking."

Log Cabin Inn

★★★★☆ 4.1 (248) • $$

"We had a great time at this cozy restaurant. First of all, the service was excellent. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. The food was great and reasonably priced. I had the surf & turf burger with Claw and knuckle lobster, Old Bay cheese sauce, corn, fried egg, matchstick potatoes, open face Texas toast. I had it MTO without the beef patty and it was still excellent. The chocolate Crème Brûlée was super delicious. They had delicious cocktails and both domestic and local beers both on tap. We arrived at 7 on a Friday and were seated within 15 minutes without a reservation. Plenty of parking in the lot."

"Our waitress Kayla was amazing. Had reservations on Valentines Day however they only had 2 waitresses taking care of a packed room of tables. Management needs to plan better on a holiday with a special menu. Despite this Kayla was pleasant and attentive. Gave 4 stars because this is the 3rd visit in a row that they were out of French dressing."

Figaretti's Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4 (211) • $$

"Great food and excellent service. Huge glasses of wine, and don't skip dessert. The stuffed banana peppers were great but a bit spicy. The homemade tortellini were like little purses of ricotta. Got it with vodka sauce 10/10 recommend but save room fir amazing lemon cake!"

Station Square Ristorante

★★★★☆ 3.9 (217) • $$

"We attended a special event on the patio here. Beautiful potted herbs surround the railing. Comfortable seating and fairly quiet outside. Buffet was fantastic. Included smoked ribs, brisket, pulled pork, chicken, salmon, collard greens and Mac n cheese (truffle) and garlic mashed. All was very tasty but the brisket was a stand out favorite. Easy and full bar service. Attentive old world type service. There was a band inside and a good crowd at the bar. Easy parking and right off the highway."

Hokkaido Seafood Buffet

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (367) • $$

"I was fairly happy with this buffet. It's been years since I was here last. I came at a weird time between lunch in dinner after work on a Saturday at 3pm.The majority of the food was filled and staff was keeping up with replacements. The items on the far right seemed to be older and not as hot or fresh. Some was cold. Everything else I had was decent.Habatchi grill is always worth getting and cooked right in front of you. There was a good amount of different sushi to choose from as well.I wasn't sure what my bill would be. It was 3:35 when I finished and know the price changes at 3:30 but got there at 3. They must have a grace period as the time was about 15 mins behind on the bill and still got brunch price.There is the notice outside and on each table about not wasting food or charging more for."

Amel's Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4 (184) • $$

"If I am looking for Mediterranean food in the South Hills, this is my first stop. My whole family agrees. If I'm really hungry I will get the Aladdin's pasta with spinach, feta and pine nuts; it's a delicious vegetarian meal and enough for two meals. If I'm with a group I might get the Mezze platter with a selection of Mediterranean apps. But what I most often do here is stop by to grab a couple of their classic tossed salads, which are a little elevated with beets and chickpeas, and their hummus, which for my money is the best in the city (and as a lifelong vegetarian I've tried a lot). That's just a perfect meal for a couple people; they also give you an abundance of Pitaland bread to go with it. They have a lovely, cozy indoor space and if the weather is nice the outdoor patio is a beautiful spot to enjoy a sangria and feel like you're somewhere other than McNeilly Rd. entirely. Service is always fast and friendly; I often pick up takeout at the bar which does a good business and they are always quick to get me on my way,"

Patron Mexican Grill - Wexford

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (254) • $$

"This Mexican restaurant appears to have quite the mixed reviews, but based on my visit in December 2021, I am giving a rating of 5 stars, and I plan to return in the future.When my husband and I entered the restaurant, the seating hostess kindly greeted us and immediately walked us to a booth. Soon, our waiter arrived, and he took our order for drinks. He promptly brought out our drinks and took our orders for our appetizers and entrees. Throughout the meal, the waiter spoke nicely to us, calling my husband "friend" and me "lady," and he brought out drink refills without our having to ask. At the end of our meal, the waiter brought out an accurate bill and sincerely thanked us for coming. Here are my reviews for the foods:Chips and salsa - 5 stars - The chips and salsa were automatically brought out for free. They were fresh, and the salsa had a medium spiciness. Tableside guacamole - 5 stars - This guacamole was prepared freshly at the tableside. (I apologize to the employee for my looking at my phone a lot rather than looking at him.) The ingredients included avocados, cilantro, onions, lime juice, and seasonings. I appreciate that the employee remembered to leave out the tomatoes that my husband dislikes. My husband commented that the guacamole smelled the best ever, and the guacamole tasted excellent too.Chicken fajitas - 4.5 stars - My husband is difficult to impress, but he enjoyed this entree. The chicken strips were cooked thoroughly and were still juicy. Also included were onions, bell peppers, and a side plate of rice, refried beans, guacamole, and sour cream.Shrimp quesadilla - 5 stars - The quesadilla was a large size, so it was definitely sufficient for an entree. The tortilla was filled with extremely gooey cheese, several shrimps, onions, and bell peppers."

Cambod-Ican Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.3 (158) • $$

"I definitely keep coming back for the customer service. I'm giving 4 stars because I don't see the hype about the food tbh. I feel like I could get very similar food at any restaurant like this. But the customer service is wow 10/10. The girl at the counter recognized me and remembered my name after just one visit. She also remembered my previous order and applauded me for trying something new each time. She brought out some spices to me and explained how her mom grows/ferments these at their house and showed me exactly how to eat them with each type of food. She is very knowledgeable. I love being able to discuss things like that with the workers. I get to understand a little more about the business and it makes me want to keep coming back. Apparently it's great late night after the bars so I will give it a try late night soon!"

Steamers Stonewall Tavern

Patron Mexican Grill

★★★★☆ 3.5 (223) • $$

"I absolutely love this place! I've been eating here since they originally opened the Wexford location years ago. Everything on the menu is authentic and delicious. And the staff is alway so friendly. I highly recommend Monday taco nights at the bar. One dollar beef or chicken tacos and three dollar margaritas. You can beat it! And they have multiple locations all over the city and suburbs."

Grandview Saloon

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (323) • $$

"So I don't know why this place is getting such a bad rap in the Yelp reviews. We are visiting Pittsburgh for a week and this was on our list after riding the incline up to MT Washington. We went there today and it was really good. The view was stupendous. The food and the service were excellent. Yes you could pay a little less going someplace else, but that view was worth every penny! On a nice day you just can't beat it! Heather, our waitress was awesome and a lot of fun to talk to.I had the garlic burger and I asked for medium rare and that's exactly what I got. My wife had the berry salad with chicken and she loved it. There was nothing left on our plates and we're pretty picky.So I don't want to discount other peoples experiences, but ours was excellent and we would go back in a heartbeat. Do yourself a favor and give it a chance."

Firebirds Wood Fired Grill

★★★★☆ 3.8 (181) • $$

"Firebirds, a place I've frequented a few times and food was pretty good, but sometimes things change. Today was a simple delivery order, three....simple....burgers. (Two medium and one medium-well). All three arrived sloppy, burnt like charcoal briquets. Missing the condiments, no pickle, no mayo, ketchup, as was ordered and noted. Really pretty simple stuff, aint like three burgers is some botique order that needs the attention of a sous chef. All it needs si someone to do just that, pay attention, show a little care and attention to the order esp at these prices. Oh well"

The Chophouse

★★★★☆ 4.1 (152) • $$

"I don't know. I've been here lots of times over the years, and it never thrilled me. Don't get me wrong, it's good...but it's not great.The restaurant is nice, as is the décor. It looks like the type of restaurant you would have to dress-up to attend. But there are people coming straight off the golf course to dine here, so there are some shorts, t-shirts, sneakers, and ballcaps.The food is good, but nothing has stood out enough to say "I have to have that again!" The best thing on the menu is actually the Angry Lobster Roll appetizer. That is a must-have. Everything else is just there. For the prices they are charging, these dishes should be outstandingAlso, since this restaurant shares their parking lot with the hotel and golf course, it's tough to find a parking spot without a long walk."

Hoffstot’s Cafe Monaco

"Family style restaurant with friendly ambience and a varied menu. Monthly early-bird specials are usually tasty and a good value."

Coleman's Fish Market

★★★★☆ 4 (143) • $

"Dear Coleman's WOW! Best fish sandwich I've had in a long time, served up fresh, hot, light and flakey, and in between two slices of thick white bread. Worth getting off the highway for, even if you've got no other reason to visit Wheeling. I got their regular fish sandwich & cole slaw, both really, really, good, and their deviled crab which was decent, just not my thing.The people behind the counter were so nice, as were the residents of Wheeling. If you go, unless you're ordering something from their "Special Menu," look for the sign near the double doors that says regular orders here, get in that line to order your fish sandwich. People had to direct me. LOLOnly downside for me was no tartar or cocktail sauce, just ketchup, mustard, or vinegar."

"Five of us had reservations and visited on a Wednesday night. We were seated right away upon arrival, and our drink order was taken. The restaurant is cozy with simple decor. The menu is a nice size with a lot of Italian favorites! I chose the Chicken Milanese and it was amazing! It was fried perfectly and the chicken was very tender. There was an assortment of rolls brought out with dinner as well, and you had your choice of butter or dipping oil. We all really enjoyed our meals and even had leftovers! I would definitely eat here again when in the area."

Leon's Caribbean Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.2 (121) • $

"I love Leon's. This place always hits the spot. I've only ever gotten delivery a few times, but it's always fantastic. I think the brown stew chicken with rice/peas and cabbage is my favorite, but I also love the jerk chicken. Everytime I order, I contemplate the oxtail, but I want to try that at the actual restaurant. Overall, you can't go wrong with Leon's!!"
