I had an amazing experience at Altius. The atmosphere was incredibly romantic and included possibly the best view of Pittsburgh possible. Service was amazing - my boyfriend had made reservations for my birthday and nearly every staff member wished me well. We were greeted with delicious popcorn and mineral water upon sitting down. The drink menu was unique and both of our drinks Love &Theft and Red Sand Beach were divine. The bread and butter brought around was spectacular. The meals were pricey but well worth the cost. Our hostess offered to take our picture and made sure we didn't want for anything the whole visit. The location is also right next to the upper incline for an additional view of the city before or after your meal. Definitely earns its title of the most romantic restaurant in the city! I would recommend this for any special occasion or to impress visitors!

One of my favorite restaurant. Outstanding experience with friendly attentive staffs. Having dinner while looking at the great view of Pittsburgh was a perfect memory. We are also entertained by staff who served us mini pancakes, and those pancakes were tasty.

Great view of the city. Staff are extremely attentive and provide an experience of their own just being there. Food is top notch and very flavorful. Food is pricey but for a reason. Desserts and drinks maybe a little over the price ceiling but that's their choice.

My wife and I have been to Altius many times since it opened. It is consistently excellent. From the starters to desserts to the view of downtown Pittsburgh, it's all top notch. Get the Brussels sprouts (in the fall) and if you're unsure about what meal to order, you can never go wrong with the pork chop. I'm not a big pork chop orderer when I'm dining out, but this one shouldn't be missed.

Altius is, quite sincerely, the best place to eat dinner in the city. Not only is it literally in the best place, but it's also among the best dinners. I had the best cut of fish I've ever tasted (wild caught Chilean sea bass), the honeycomb on the charcuterie board was mind blowing, and the rum cocktail was both planned and executed with mastery. When it comes to restaurants featuring entrees for $40+, life changing provisions should be expected. This leaves atmosphere, setting, service to earn the fifth stars. The wait staff at Altius is a dream team. The service was absolutely impeccable, and our waiter had a shadow. Every single person that served us, from the host stand to the food runners, wished us a Happy Anniversary. This may seem like a small detail because it is; the devil is not in the details themselves, but is rather in getting them right. Having worked in the service industry for many years, I can tell you this little detail takes a level of dedication to service and teamwork that most institutions do not bother with, even among the highly revered. The payoff of things like this is not perceived as a line item in the ledger. It's simply one of the nuances of fine dining that separates the best from the rest and it left an impression on us. I used the flower service recommended by Open Table, and they were waiting on the table on our arrival five minutes early. Another detail, another devil. The food and drink was excellent, but the service is the capstone. We thank you for a perfect anniversary celebration, and want you to know the labors of the entire house were not wasted on us.
