  We have been coming to this fabulous restaurant since it opened in 2014. Unequivocally the best five star dining experience in Pittsburgh. We have been to many restaurants all across America and abroad and Altius always impresses. Their service is impeccable. We had Jacob tonight who was phenomenal. Their menu is very creative with high quality ingredients that change seasonally. They always have unique specials. The cocktail menu is changed seasonally as well and amazing. They always start with gourmet popcorn with a different flavor every night. There is also an amuse gift from the chef. Highly recommend the crab toast. The scallop appetizer with Chestnut puree is outstanding. We had the special tonight which was scallops, shrimp with purple mashed potatoes with truffle and lemon Hollandaise sauce. Mmmmmmmm! Desserts are decadent as you might imagine but worth every calorie. Highly recommend Altius!

  Cannot rave about Altius enough. From the moment we sat down to the moment we left, my boyfriend and I have not stopped raving about it. Johnny was our waiter and his friendly personality and dry sense of humor heightened our experience even more. The food was phenomenal!! We were initially given popcorn and at first were a bit confused as to why a high end restaurant was serving popcorn, BUT we loved it so much we asked for some to go! Johnny made sure that he loaded us up. We woke this morning STILL talking about the food and service. Thank you Altius and Johnny for the wonderful dining experience!

  A dreamy place to eat for those with a flavor palate that tends towards exquisiteness. Seeing the vast cityscape of Pittsburgh below whilst enjoying any one of an array of delights... surely Steel City dining can get no better than this.

  Wow what a GREAT experience! This restaurant was worth it! We went and celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary and the service was impeccable! It was so nice to see all the waitstaff working together and provide exceptional service. The food was amazing. We shared a bottle of Pinot noir reccomended by the sommelier and shared a charcuterie board, then we were seated for our reservation on time and enjoyed complimentary popcorn, bread and a little soup cappachino that was all amazing. We ordered the Caesar salad to share and they divided it between two plates which I love! The salad was flavorful and and I loved the zatar they added to the top! Their was a little mix up in my order but I ate what they brought anyways because I pretty much eat anything and I was eyeing the Chilean sea bass on the menu at first! It was delicious, cooked perfectly and the sides that came with it was amazing. My husband had the tomahawk pork chop and it was great as well! From what we ordered I’m sure anything else on the menu would be fantastic. I only wish we saved room for dessert because their dessert menu looked superb! I will definitely recommend this place to anyone that visits Pittsburgh and hope to return in the future! Oh and the view was beautiful and just made the night even better!

  I went for dinner and everything from the food to the service, to the amazing skyline view was simply outstanding. The moment I walked in, the team made me feel genuinely welcome. Giovanni, my server, was incredible, knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to explain every dish and cocktail without ever making me feel rushed. Mick, the GM, was equally wonderful and made sure everything was perfect throughout the evening. I tried one of their cocktails, the out-of-menu shrimp, risotto, and crab - every bite was phenomenal. The focaccia bread and butter alone were heavenly! The attention to detail, presentation, and warmth of the staff made the entire experience unforgettable. If you’re in Pittsburgh and looking for a place that combines world-class food with thoughtful service and a stunning atmosphere, Altius should be at the very top of your list. Highly recommend! Will visit again.
