What a nice atmosphere for any occasion with an amazing view of the city. Street parking is tough to find; through there is a paid lot and valet. Reservations are highly recommended and dress is business attire. To start, we were given season popcorn which was a nice touch. Then we were brought freshly baked focaccia bread with a light crunch on the outside and airy on the inside. The roasted beet salad was so fresh and all of the flavors highlighted each other. The gnocchi was not doughy or heavy and the seafood was perfectly cooked and tender. The homemade ice cream and sorbets are worth saving room to eat as a nice finish to an amazing meal and experience. I will definitely be back!

Such a amazing Restaurant, me and my girlfriend came to Pittsburgh for a vacation for my birthday, and I'm glad to say that Altius made it a great start, food is delicious as well as their drinks, and our Waitress Rebecca was very kind and thoughtful!

What a beautiful space. It's not big so I recommend reservations. However we were able to sit at the bar early in the evening without one. The view is stunning even in daylight. I can only imagine at night. The popcorn at the beginning was fun and good along with the bread and dipping oil. The cocktail list was creative and there were no bad options. The scallops app was delightful and my duck entree was delicious. The sides/accompaniments really added the wow factor to the dishes. My husband's steak was unfortunately a low point. He ordered it medium rare. The bartender made a huge point about making sure this got communicated to the kitchen even going as far as asking if it was ok to error on the rare side instead of risk overcooking to which my husband said absolutely yes. Even after all this, the steak still came out well done. Not even close to medium rare. Just epically over cooked especially after all the effort to communicate how much we didn't want this to happen. The bartender was mortified and offered to remake it but we didn't have time. He did send us home with a couple brownies complimentary which was nice. Service was top notch but I can't give 5 stars with such a fail on the steak.

This was an unbelievable culinary experience. Each course was amazing and outstanding. The chef was very attentive to people in our party who are vegan, and the experience blew me away. If you are lucky enough to get the chance to go here, I highly recommend. The view is also spectacular!

Impeccable food, service and view. An easy five stars any night of the week! We started off with charcuterie and took home a sizable portion. The truffle cheese was phenomenal! Next I had the she crab soup, which included a mini toast point with chives and some type of spreadable creamy component - chef's kiss! For entrees we had the ribeye special, with mushrooms, green beans and horseradish mashed potatoes. I had the Chilean seabass over crab risotto, which sounds like it would be incredibly rich but somehow was perfectly balanced. As you can see, we started remembering to take photos by dessert, both the raspberry sorbet and mint chocolate chip ice cream were incredible. Highly recommend for a celebration type meal.

Come for the view and stay for the food. Came here with some friends for a good non stressful time. 1) Place is excellent. Extremely fancy, welcoming, and clean. 2) The views are worth the price. Bring your big wallet. 3) The food is excellent! Every dish was great! This place is a perfect place to bring friends, colleagues, and that special someone in your life. It is expensive but don't let that scare you. Great place! Great food! Excellent service! Amazing city view. Love it!

Best views of Pittsburgh & I get to ride a tram to it? Yes, please! Altius in Pittsburg is a must visit restaurant but get a reservation. It offers some of the best views of the city. While enjoying dinner, the city works below you. It's a stunning backdrop for dinner. I had a wonderful evening, enhanced by the super attentive staff who made sure every detail was perfect. I decided to play chef and customized their burrata salad by adding shrimp and a scallop. What a total power play. Loved it!

Altius never fails to disappoint. The restaurant location overlooking the city creates incredible table views, each staff member is kind and helpful, and the interior is beautiful. Moreover, the food quality and creativity is spectacular. Before I discuss the food, I wanted to say that during my 1st visit to Altius, I expected the restaurant to be a tourist trap due to it's location above the Duquesne Incline, but I was completely wrong. A visit here is worth every penny. For my most recent visit, I ordered the Chilean Seabass. The crust on the fish was some of the best I ever had, and the risotto paired with it was perfectly creamy. The experience was made even better by the complimentary dill flavored popcorn, which was addictive, and the fresh bread with sundried tomatoes and ramp pesto butter. Each item was a 5/5.
