  Let me start by saying the food was wonderful, well at least the first three courses, the 4th is a bit of a blur. Made a reservation for 745 on a Thursday night which is "date night" for my wife and me. We were seated right away, and the restaurant was not crowded. Server came over and we ordered a drink. We explained to him that we like to pace our dinner and have a pause between courses. He said he understood, but clearly, he didn't. We started with the amuse which was great. Then we had our first course, oysters and they were spectacular. Wish I had ordered more. He then asked for the rest of our order, and we agreed to give it to him if it were paced. Oysters are light so when the next course arrived quickly no issue. But then he started serving the next course almost immediately after the previous. When we got to the entree, they were clearing the salad course and putting down the entree. This is simply unacceptable in fine dining. It was like speed dating the courses despite our plea to have a nice dinner. In my opinion, there were only 3 tables left when we were served the entree and the kitchen and staff all wanted to go home. That's not on me. If you want the restaurant closed by 9, don't take a 7:45 reservation. We were basically shown the door before 9:00. Dinner was $260, my ubers so I could have cocktails another $60. So date night was $320 and we were home at 9:15. I suspect you go there on a weekend they don't pull this move. But book a later reservation on a weeknight, and be prepared to be rushed through. Very disappointing experience.

  Altius is a high-level of fine dining establishment in Pittsburgh, in quality of food, service, and atmosphere. This restaurant could compete in San Francisco, Chicago, Philadelphia, Manhattan, DC, Atlanta, etc. A window seat provides the perfect view of Pittsburgh, but the food itself, the curated wine menu brought table side by their in house sommelier, and the attentiveness of the kitchen staff and servers will easily distract you from the steel city skyline. Do yourself a favor and go to Altius the next time you have something special to celebrate.

  I wasn’t going to write a review, but since this restaurant decided to cancel my reservation on the Open Table app AFTER we dinned and completed our reservation, I felt it was necessary. Why did they cancel our reservation after dinning? Because they were afraid of getting a bad review from us. Literally the only good thing about this place is the view and valet parking. Food- overpriced undersized crap Cocktails- disgusting Waitress- very unfriendly and unprofessional Atmosphere- loud and chaotic They want to act high class while following no dress code. Men in hoodies and hats and women with ripped jeans and t-shirts. This wasn’t our first time here but it sure was our last. Luckily there’s other restaurants in the area and our 15th anniversary was saved.

  Second time here, absolutely phenomenal food. The chef was also very adaptive to one of our party having both a honey and seafood allergy, the staff made sure to substitute where needed and let us know what had been changed in a dish. The services was wonderful, our waiter was very polite and had great humor which made us feel really welcome. We are making this our go-to spot for family dinners. The food has blown us away yet again and we are still dreaming about the house-made ice cream.

  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!
