    A “must-dine” location in Pittsburgh. Outstanding views of the city from atop Mt Washington with top quality sea food preparations. Spectacular high ceilings with walls of glass facing the city’s beautifully lit bridges. This is our go to restaurant for special occasions… especially New Year’s Eve… but make your reservation early because they sell out. Service is always excellent. Go to the cozy bar on the lower level ahead of dinner for drinks with a great city view.

    Once a year we have a special dinner at Monterey Bay. The four of us went to high school together 45 years ago! We choose this wonderful restaurant because we know the food will be delicious (ask for the trio appetizer even if it’s not on the printed menu 😉 ) the service will be terrific and the view is spectacular!
