Ivan Nekrasov Wonderful service, food and amazing views. We have a team dinner after a corporate event and it was worth every penny. Highly recommend. Food was delicious, views were simply stunning with the city scape changing every few minutes as the sun went lower and lower changing reflections and colors. Our team arrived and stayed a little late and the staff were extremely patient, friendly and professional ( Rich and Kate) provided great service and hospitality!

Michael Steiner Exquisite service and food at Morcilla pittsburgh. The creativity of the menu, to my mind, makes Morcilla one of the best in greater Pittsburgh. The chef and team deserve a Michelin star. Bravo Bravissimo Michael & Hanna

Alexandra Jackson Came here for Restaurant Week and had an absolutely amazing experience. Our server, Julie, was fantastic. The food was incredible, between my group we tried the entire RW menu and loved all of it. The chefs put a lot of hard work into this menu and it absolutely shows. Presentation was beautiful, the food was delicious, I genuinely cannot recommend it enough. My favorite was the stuffed donuts, they were incredible. Had a raspberry martini that was also delicious, I could’ve easily had 3 more if I didn’t have to drive home. Overall I had a great experience and will absolutely be back for events like this.

William Cramer We stopped in after the Steelers game yesterday and were seated quickly. Nya was our server and she was great! She was attentive and very personable. I got the Buffalo chicken wrap with a salad and my wife got the Santa Fe wrap with black bean salsa. The food was great and Nya checked in periodically to see if we had everything that we needed. We will definitely be back.

Alejandro Caceres Amazing experience at Fogo de Chão! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm and welcoming. The atmosphere was lively and perfect for a night out or special occasion. Sergio, the manager, went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and made us feel truly cared for. The Gauchos Flavio, Linder, and Bruno were fantastic. Every cut of meat was perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavor. Their friendly personalities and great energy made the whole experience even better. The salad bar and sides were fresh and delicious, with so many great options to pair with the meats. Between the food, service, and atmosphere, Fogo de Chão is a place I’ll definitely be coming back to. Highly recommend!

Kanchan Sharma Cool ambience, good food and side dishes, I tried the Korea bbq tacos , refried beans rice with a beer . It was really great. They open till 11 on a Monday which worked perfect for me as the city was midway of my destination. Great service. Definitely check it out if it falls in your transit. Aaron was really cool with everything . Definitely try it out !!

Trottier Kazia The service I experienced was prompt and kind. My sangria was spiced, excellently. The no pink, applewood smoked bacon, American cheddar, leaf lettuce, pickles, with a tomato and mayo. Mouth-watering. You should go here.

Mario Alex Gonzalez Absolutely delightful dining experience. The whole concept of a restaurant in an old train station is incredibly unique and makes for a visually extravagant vibe that keeps you enticed with its architecture. On top of the awesome atmosphere, the food is simply spectacular. I highly recommend the crab cakes, or any of their seafood options as they are incredibly fresh and well prepared. Nothing let me down and i was happy with the price to portion ratio. Great place to have dinner in the Pitt area.

Carly Alcaraz The best meal and dining experience I have ever had as a celiac with MANY other allergies! (Allergic to yeast, nightshades, can’t have potatoes or rice too) My husband made a note on our reservation that I was celiac and I let them know just in case. The manager came out and walked me through everything, said he had family with celiac so he understands the seriousness of it. He told me how to order the desserts to be gluten free (ex: passion fruit mousse, can be made with no graham cracker crust) he told me I can have all of the meats except for the spicy ones. He said they religiously put the spicy meats on the bottom racks specifically so no cc. He also specifically told me that the fried bananas are in their own dedicated frier, I’ve seen a lot of mixed reviews on that part. But as of December 2025 I can tell you they are safe to eat! I tried pretty much everything that he said I could have and I didn’t have a SINGLE reaction to any of the food. I’m saying this as someone who does NOT go out to eat, ever. I can’t. But I heard this place goes above and beyond and took a chance and WOW am I glad I did. Also got the creme brûlée for dessert, insaaaaanely good! If you have allergies and want to feel safe somewhere, THIS is the place! Pricey? Hell yeah. But the peace of mind and the ability to eat out made it a night to remember and I can’t recommend it enough. Already planning on going back for my wedding anniversary!

Carla L It has been a few years since I was in this establishment, but nostalgia kicked in as soon as I got seated by the window. This is one of the few places in downtown that survived the pandemic and offers a rooftop bar. We were welcomed with a dazzling mimosa tasting that sparked joy and bubbles. The pumpkin waffle was absolutely amazing! Thank you for your hospitality.

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!

Alec Ward Came to celebrate our son’s birthday tonight and we had a great time. Christina was an awesome server and took great care of us, she even took our family picture at the end of our meal which was such a sweet gesture. Dylan, the manager, stopped over too to make sure we had everything we needed. He was also the same person I spoke to on the phone an hour prior to set us up to come in, and his professionalism is unmatched. Every single employee that we encountered smiled and said hello. Just an overall great experience and even better birthday dinner. Thank you Christina and Dylan!

Sophia Emerick Stumbled upon this restaurant on our walk, they took us right in and seated us! Very beautiful interior, wonderful staff all around. Everyone from the hosts, waiters and wait staff were all friendly and attentive! My husband and I thought the food was out of this world good! We had the ahi wontons, my husband had a salad an I had the crab soup to start. The soup was some of the best Ive ever had. Everything had such vreta flavors. We each had a cocktail as well, which were both great. I had the chimichurri steak and shrimp which was incredible, and my husband had waygu with lobster. All excellent. The carrot cake was huuuuge and amazing! Our server Matthew was so friendly and attentive. He was such a calm and delightful server, and gave us some Pittsburgh places to visit! We already cant wait to come back!! I didnt get many meal photos because I was too busy enjoying the meal. We will not forget this dinner!

Edmund Michaelson Great craft beer bar/brewery in a nice busy area with lots to do in the Northshore area of Pittsburgh. Beers were excellent and it was such a nice clean establishment. Bartenders were excellent and were happy to give out samples. Strawberry letter was a surprise! Sour and sweet. Order the Island fish tacos! Also excellent 2 filled me up and took the 3rd to the hotel for a late night snack. Then pineapple coleslaw was a nice surprise. The tacos needed some spice so I asked for some Choulua hot sauce and it was complete! Loved this place!
