Le Mont

It's been a long time since I've been here, and transparently, only made a reservation as we had a gift card. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt that this place has evolved at all through the years, but I found it stuffy and disappointing.To be clear, the staff was wonderful and they had a musician playing a keyboard behind us who was great - so zero complaints about the service.To drink, my wife and I had both some horrible wine and a poorly executed cocktail.The bread was fine, nothing was warm or overly fresh. The French onion soup packed a bunch of salt and the pumpernickel shined through, which was the best part of the meal.I went with the rack of lamb that was gamey, underseasoned and well done on the ends and medium rare in the middle pieces, which wasnt what I ordered. My wife's scallops were simple but the better option, as was he side of asparagus we ordered.For dessert, my wife has creme brulee that has a soggy top and I had a chocolate mousse cake that was incredibly disappointing.By and large, the meal was a disappointment. You can come here for good service and a beautiful view, and if the atmosphere does something for you, that's great. To be, it's stuffy curtains and dusty chandeliers.Also, don't pay the $9 for valet, there are plenty of spots within a few blocks most nights.

Let me start off by saying, I loved the ambiance. Everything was beautifully decorated and the view of the city was beautiful.The food was horrendous. We ordered the table side Beef Tenderloin for two. The steak wasn't cooked well. Some parts were rare, some were well done, some were medium. As soon as I saw the waiter butcher the cut with a dull kitchen knife, I knew to immediately lower my expectations. The steak wasn't even hot . The vegetables were drenched in E&J Liquor and had the nastiest aftertaste. The mashed potatoes were tasteless, The bill was over $250 per couple. What a WASTE of money. The MOST DISRESPECTFUL part was the $24 scallop. They literally put down a plate with TWO scallops. No garnish, no presentation, nothing. Just 2 scallops on a plate. DISRESPECTFUL as hell!!!! PLEASE NEVER GO HERE AND WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! Or just go to the bar.

Overall: come for the view but don't stay for the food. The service was super accommodating and nice but I wouldn't say the food tasted great by any means. Food: it's been a while since I've had a filet mignon but I don't remember them being as grainy as that one was. I understand the waiter messed up and gave me my friends medium cooked one as opposed to my medium rare one (or they messed up the cooking) but it really didn't feel like a filet but rather a top sirloin. The salad to start was not bad but the whole grape tomatoes was very lazy to just "throw them in". The cheesecake left more to be desired as it's as plain as it looks. Ambience/Decor/Service: super posh upscale restaurant that I would argue is too expensive for the quality of food. Yes it's beautiful inside and sits with one of the best views of Pittsburgh but at least make the food bearable. Service was incredibly rapid and the people there are on top of things. My only quip is that for a fancy restaurant the attention to detail isn't there as many a times I've waiters fingers were touching the food when serving to us.

I'd highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a nice dinner in Pittsburgh! The view was amazing and the service was fabulous!I also enjoyed the food and quality of what I received! They start you off with rolls that are crunchy and flaky on the outside and soft on the inside. I also loved that we had our own butter plate with butter, the little things right? I started with a caesar salad that they made tableside, which was fun to watch but also made it feel super fresh! It was delicious and perfectly seasoned!I got the tomahawk pork chop which was juicy and crispy on the outer edge, the way I like pork chops! The sides weren't my favorite but it was okay since the chop was hugeI need with crème brûlée, which had a nice vanilla flavor, smooth and sugary!

I decided to come here for my birthday dinner! We did reservations on open table and were seated immediately. It was worth going here during restaurant week! We got to experience three courses for $45.25. The steak had 25% fatty parts to it so I would be aware of that. The place is very spacious and open with a great view. They do charge a $2 per slice cake fee if you bring your own to celebrate.

I had high hopes for the Le Mont. I am somewhat disappointed. The highlight of our dinner was Chad who was a fantastic server. The decor was old school classy which was interesting, but the view was kinda obscured by the glare from the chandeliers. Our food was a mixed result. Lowlights: crab hoelzel, mixed vegetables served with entrees. Mid tier: crab cakes, mashed potatoes. Highlights: rack of lamb, truffle fries. I was really hoping the crab cakes would be good, but I was just let down. The lamb was delicious though! If you live in Pittsburgh, I definitely recommend trying it out once, just because it is so iconically Pittsburgh.

Great ambiance and amazing view, but the food and service were very meh. The appetizers and wine were good, the actual dinner was a complete mess. The vegetables were so hard we couldn't even put our fork in them. Risotto was flavorless, sea bass was undercooked and weird. The server was also unfriendly and uncomfortable.

We made our reservation months ago. We were very excited to share the beautiful restaurant with family from out of town. We arrived ten minutes before our reservation and were promptly seated at the bar while they "made our table ready." 20 minutes later we still had not even received a greeting at the bar as we watched others who had been parked there after us get seated. We left. So disappointing. If the service was any indication, I'm certain the food would have been lackluster as well. What a shame to waste such wonderful real estate on such mediocrity. Three stars seems well deserved.

Excellent service with Chad. Everything was so delicious and had a wonderful view of Pittsburgh. Cannot wait to go back.

I kept looking around waiting for someone to tap me on the shoulder asking me to go to the kitchen to help with washing the dishes. The hallway looks like an art gallery with a Richard Moore painting where couples enjoy the Waltz. The view in this place lives up to everything people say about it. the rainy day and the fog moving in and out only added to the orra I cannot tell you how impressed I was with the staff and atmosphere. I am just a boy who grew up in patched pants, The tables were set in formal dining the glasses filled with ice and fresh water with all the sharp edges of the knives directed to the plates this dates back to when the dinner guests had real knives and it was considered, a front to point the sharp at the person seated next to you. So, the young waiters and waitresses worked as a team to bring out the salads and freshly baked rolls to the guests.I had salmon with green beans a few carrots and mashed potatoes. it was long after that Tom Z in a formal black tuxedo was at my table to make sure the meal and the service were everything a person would expect in such a fine eatery.The bathroom clean and was spotless. I took one last look at the painting on the wall as a left. Just for a moment, it seemed like the painting had come alive I could hear the music of Johann Strauss II known as the composer often called "The Waltz King". I will be back again! Tony Z! Thanks again for allowing me the privilege to dine at the Lemont.
