Eliza Hot Metal Bistro

For a hotel restaurant this was good! We were a big group so it was a bit overwhelming for our waiter and we all got our food at different times, but it did come out hot.

Just was there for lunch time during the weekNeed some better service and variety on the lunch menu. Opppss!!C

I checked out their acoustic series night and their menu earlier this week!While in kind of an unusual spot, the food made up for it! We enjoyed the salmon and the packed to the brim Ruben sandwich we got but the real star of the show here was the white cheddar cheese curds - beer battered and fried to perfection, they didn't last long! I did have some constructive feedback to share with the staff and they were really gracious about it so I'm excited to see them improve! I did note that the fries weren't as crispy as I'd like and the cake itself had an almost gritty texture. The acoustics and chill atmosphere gave our meal a relaxed vibe which is perfect for a girly catch up session and I enjoyed the overall industrial motif and color scheme of the hotel. They also have a rooftop bar that is open select hours that had a perfect view of the river and sunset. We were so stuffed that we went for a lovely long walk along the water on the Three Rivers Heritage Trail which is conveniently close by. While we didn't get a chance to try their cocktails (I may have overindulged all LDW ahem), that chocolate martini was calling my name so I'm sure I'll be back for their happy hour! What we got: Teriyaki honey glazed salmon topped with pineapple salsa and served with mashed potatoes asparagus White cheddar cheese curds, beer battered and fried Reuben sandwich with corned beef and sauerkraut piled high on thick marbled rye bread, topped with melted provolone and 1000 island dressing, served with fries White chocolate raspberry cake with vanilla cake layers frosted with white chocolate buttercream and raspberry filling

Met some friends for Trivia night at Eliza and I had a wonderful time. The bars ambience is beautiful and the drinks and food were really good! I have to say our server was a little off putting but she straightened up after about an hour ( personality issues I guess). Trivia night was so much fun and I'm glad I came. Other than our waitress it was a great night woth beautifully crafted drinks and great food that came out in good time. There is plenty of room so bring a gaggle of friends when you come and prepared to have a fun filled eevening and a beautiful experience.

This restaurant inside the Hotel Indigo is pretty big and has a reasonably priced menu for a hotel. The wings I ordered for lunch were pretty tasty and had a nice hot kick to them.It may be the only decent place to eat on the opposite side of the Hot Metal Bridge from all the cool places. On a nice day, it may be worth it to walk across for other options, but if it's cold or rainy (highly likely in Pittsburgh) and you need something, then this will do.The service was pretty good with 2 servers handling about 6 tables dining in for lunch on a Monday in December. I may have waited a bit too long for a drink refill, which a waiter should know when you're eating something spicy.If I stayed at the hotel again (I totally would), I'd probably stop here again, even if it's just for an IC Light draft or five.

Very nice outdoor space.We wanted to go on the rooftop but seems service is only for rentals and parties so we went on the patio instead. Nice, quiet atmosphere with excellent service.We ordered drinks, hummus plater, and I got the reuben.Everything was made to order so took a little time but worth the wait. Platter came with assortment of fresh veggies, cheese, bread, and hummus. It was very filling.The reuben was really big, enough for two so I only ate half. Homemade chips are always the best!The menu is somewhat limited on what you can order and a little over average priced but it is at a hotel.Free parking in the outdoor lot as well

A contemporary bistro located inside of Hotel Indigo near the South Side.  Featuring breakfast, lunch, dinner, happy hour, live music and great vibes.  The space is pretty large, and the food prices are great.  We tried the Fettuccine Alfredo with grilled chicken, it was superb. Fettuccine noodles and tomatoes tossed in a creamy Parmesan sauce topped with grilled chicken. Also had the Teriyaki Glazed Salmon which was cooked to perfection, a teriyaki honey glazed piece of salmon topped with a pineapple salsa served with mashed potatoes and a seasonal veggie which was asparagus. Can't forget about dessert, the Molten Chocolate Cake A La Mode absolutely hit the spot! Right now through February they're featuring a winter pop up bar- Snowflake and Spirits! Located inside Eliza. Featuring creative, handcrafted cocktails as well as seasonal mocktails.  The space is decorated adorably and has the coziest vibes, very festive! Tons of photo ops as well!  Tried two cocktails from their pop up menu- the Black Swan Cranberry Sangria and the Gingerbread Martini. The staff is extremely friendly and personable. There is a parking garage next door, as well as some street parking available, they have their own lot, but for guests. Would recommend checking them out!

I dislike giving sub par reviews, but a 3 just does not fit the two experiences while a guest at the Indigo Hotel. Dinner was seated and service slow but friendly. Menus and drinks were up front quick. Orders taken. The atmosphere is very nice, clean and fresh vibe. Live music was really a nice touch. Bar is up front and lots of seating by booth or table and chair. There is an exterior door to enter & exit. Food out in a reasonable time of 15-20 minutes. Chicken sandwich & fries, but order incorrect. Had onion rings as a side. Daughter chicken fingers and fries. Waters not refilled, had to ask another waitress. Onion rings brought out quickly. The taste, or lack of gets a 1 from both of us. Neither finished our meals. My house cab was the best thing I had. Also pricey over $55.00 with tip. Cash out was fine. Breakfast was again slow. Waitress not friendly, just going through the motions. A basic bagel with sausage and egg was good per daughter. My eggs, potatoes & sausage was good. But no toast, waitress corrected. Bill was handled timely. So breakfast was stronger, but cannot see a 3 star average. They have something here. Improvements on food and service even slightly could have changed my review to an A-OK. 2.5 rounding down.

I don't often give such low reviews, but our experience at Eliza, the restaurant in Hotel Indigo, was very disappointing.When we checked in, we confirmed the hours of the restaurant with the front desk staff. The restaurant looked super nice and welcoming and appeared to be a lovely place to enjoy drinks and appetizers with friends.We made plans to return to the hotel on Halloween evening, after spending the day with our daughters, to unwind and talk. It was around 8:30pm, and the restaurant's hours listed an 11pm closing time. The bar was pretty quiet, we assumed due to Halloween and a home Pitt football game. We selected a couple of seats at the bar. When the manager came out from the kitchen, he was openly hostile and told us the kitchen was closed and that we'd have to leave. He said there wasn't enough business to keep it open.We asked for suggestions of where else we could go (we're both out of towners), and he lazily pointed & said there's about 28 blocks of restaurants "that way." Obviously a very frustrating experience!

We're hardly ever on the Southside, but I've had this place on my mind since I first became aware of it. And today was the day. Eliza is located on Technology Drive across 2nd Avenue from Bates Street in the Hotel Indigo Pittsburgh. We were there at about 12:45 PM on a weekday. It was weirdly empty. But it's a nice room - comfortable, not at all stuffy. And the food was quite good. I had the Steel City Club Sandwich (Smoked turkey, black forest ham, bacon, white cheddar,lettuce, tomato, onion, Pittsburgh Pickle Company pickles & mayo on Mancini's tomato-basil bread.) Basic sammy, upgraded with interesting, high-quality ingredients. I'd guess the mayo was house made. Fries were real. My wife had a Grilled Steak Wrap (Roasted peppers, grilled onions, tomato and greens withmozzarella). Again, better than the description suggested. She also had Wedding Soup as an app. Not very traditional, but very good. Reasonable prices for a hotel, Place was a little understaffed, but our server was pleasant and efficient. We'll be back.
