We were here for brunch on a Saturday morning with a group of eight. Incredible food, phenomenal service. Later in the day we did a Pittsburgh walking whiskey rebellion and prohibition tour and to our surprise one of the cocktail stops was here! Cocktail was delicious, and again service was top notch. We are not in Pittsburgh often, but we will be back here.

We celebrated my wife’s birthday. As always, Altius exceeded expectations. Jaqueline our server was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the menu and specials. We also enjoyed our conversation the manager, Rob. Even the valet, Bobby who was working outside in cold had a great smile and was nice to talk to. Everyone made us feel welcome and added to our experience. The food was just as fabulous as the staff. The caviar, salads, steaks and desserts were all excellent. We can’t wait to return and most importantly my wife enjoyed her birthday night out.
