Monterey Bay Fish Grotto - Pittsburgh (PA)

5 /5 Alexander Fletcher: A 5 star restaurant through and through. A beautiful restaurant overlooking the city (a bit difficult to get to- I recommend taking the Duquesne incline up). The attention to detail was incredible, everything was perfectly done. We visited for an anniversary and they took all the steps to ensure a wonderful experience for us. We started with the heirloom tomato burrata and it was incredibly fresh and the tomato’s were perfectly meaty and paired perfectly with the house sour dough bread. The Parmesan crusted swordfish was so tender and perfectly salty! Paired well with a bottle of wine recommended by the one and only, Buffalo Blake! The French onion filet mignon was so perfectly cooked and tender, and the au jus was so tasty I could have drank right from the serving cup. We finished with some crème brûlée that was perfectly creamy and sweet. The service staff also brought us out a sample of their house bourbon and one of their angel cake grilled cheeses for our anniversary celebration. This place just did not miss! Also please ignore our big back activity of trying two different deserts; they were well worth the taste! Would definitely love to come back here for more special occasions. If you can, ask for Blake, he takes great care of his guests!

5 /5 Citlalli Glez: Unbeatable service! Ive never seen such excellent service anywhere, especially for our daughter. When they assigned us a table, they gave her a gift with small toys that kept her calm throughout our stay. They have a menu specially designed for young guests. I truly applaud this because its not very common in many restaurants. The view is spectacular. Annes friendly service made us feel very comfortable at all times. Her menu recommendations were very accurate. The prices were reasonable. The appetizers, cocktails, dinner, and desserts were truly delicious. Overall, they made it a very special evening for my birthday celebration. At the end, they gave her a beautiful postcard, ideal to keep as a souvenir of the restaurant. Every detail from beginning to end was wonderful. We will definitely return. This is a highly recommended restaurant!

5 /5 MICHELLE CARTER: Id never been so my son took me for my birthday. It was great, our servers name is believe was Madison she was phenomenal. She explained the menu with ease, made sure we got exactly what we wanted. It is a bit pricey, but I think the food and the service makes it worth it. Hands down a wonderful experience. I didnt get pictures of everything but I have a couple.

5 /5 Ahri A: The view alone makes this one of the best spots in Pittsburgh—absolutely spectacular and perfect for a special evening. Add in the food and service, and you’ve got the recipe for a perfect date night. I have never had duck cooked as well as I did here. The skin was beautifully crispy, the meat tender, and the tangy cranberry sauce tied everything together with just the right balance. The salmon was also outstanding—light, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Everyone on staff took wonderful care of us, making the experience feel both relaxed and elevated. If you go, definitely request a window seat to make the most of the view. This is a restaurant I’d happily come back to again and again.

5 /5 Dane: 5 Stars - Impeccable Food, Atmosphere & Service I highly recommend dining at Monterey Bay Fish Grotto; you won’t be disappointed. The seafood selection is excellent, and the crab cakes are an absolute must-try. Be sure to save room for their decadent dessert options as well! The restaurant is the top floor of a large building on Mount Washington with with stunning views of the Pittsburgh skyline visible from every seat in the house. The service we received was second to none, thank you to the entire team. It is also an excellent venue for small parties and events, guests will love it. Valet parking is available and makes arrival seamless.
