About this restaurant

  • Good for business meals
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
Hand-cut, perfectly aged Midwestern beef, trimmed to our specifications and cooked to yours. Deep booths and a deeper wine list. A bar that makes everything better. And the kind of service everyone deserves but hardly ever receives.
Welcome to Pittsburgh Blue. You’re about to eat very, very well.

    Seven of us dined at Rochester's Pittsburgh Blue restaurant for the first time. While the service was very attentive, the accuracy of the order and the taste of some of the food left much to be desired. The appetizers were generally good. We had calamari. The calamari was very good. The dinner rolls were also deemed to be very good by everyone. My main complaint had to do with my dinner order. I ordered the Cowboy Ribeye cooked rare. When it arrived, it was announced as medium rare. I cut into it to see if it might be salvageable, but I would deem it to be closer to medium than medium rare. That being the case, I informed the wait staff of the error and waited patiently for them to prepare a new one to my liking while my family members ate. About 8 minutes later they delivered my entree, and it was rare, but it was also done Pittsburgh Blue as the outside was heavily charred - unlike the original steak that was done "medium rare". Because I had waited so long, I decided to accept the steak, but the char on it was overwhelming and left me very disappointed. The other diners had petite filets, NY strip, and mushroom ravioli. They all liked their choices. For sides we ordered the loaded mashed potatoes (good), asparagus (good), and lobster mac and cheese. The lobster mac left a bit to be desired as it had very little lobster in it. For dessert we ordered Creme Brulee (not much taste), and Coconut Cake (pretty good). All in all, given the $650 total cost, I would not choose to dine here again. I have had better steaks at Outback and Texas Roadhouse than I received here. I expected a lot out of them given their reputation, but they just did not deliver on the food front.

    Both of our steaks were undercooked. They offered to take them back but we declined. The reservation form asks if there is any occasion so we had made the specific notation on the reservation that we were celebrating our anniversary however, despite this, our anniversary was not mentioned by our server so that was a little disappointing.

    We have eaten in so many Steak Houses in Minnesota. This is the best Steak House (outside of 2 in Minneapolis) that we have eaten in. Meat well flavored, cooked as ordered. "Sides" are plentiful and tasty. Servers observe and offer additional service as we need, not as they come by. Drinks well "put-together". We will be eating there once every month. TY

    We love this restaurant! They have a great menu, with so much from which to select. Of course they’re known for steaks, but there is a lot more.The pasta dishes are outstanding. Quality food, great service.

    Overall the dinner was very enjoyable. Steak prepared perfectly, salad and soup delicious. The only item that couldn’t be eaten was the blue hash browns, they were drenched with so much hot sauce that it was all you could taste.
