  Altius is always a must when we visit Pittsburgh! As always, our experience was flawless from start to finish. Luke crafted the best pre-dinner drinks, adding a creative twist to our Paper Plane cocktail with citrus peel airplane punch-outs...such a fun and memorable touch! Colton provided exceptional service and thoughtful recommendations, and he didn’t even blink when we ordered more food than most people would...we showed him how it’s done! Everything, from the cocktails to the service and the food, was outstanding. We can’t wait to return to Pittsburgh and dine at Altius again next year!

  Amazing location, amazing drinks, amazing food and great service. They striked all check boxes. You can't go wrong with this place. Im not sure if this place is michelin starred but for me it was. I would come back again on my every trip. The only challenge here is to get quick uber from as it took a while for uber to reach but who cares when you have a such an amazing experience.

  Possible one of the best dining experiences in Pittsburg, Altius is able to deliver on every aspect of a fantastic dining experience. Incredible food, a vibrant atmosphere and view, great service, and overall dedication to a fantastic experience. Even with just having a bar seat, I was able to have an immersive and amazing dining experience while overlooking the entire city. A special shoutout to my waiter/bartender Luke, as he was immensely knowledgable in both food and drinks, and was able to answer any and all questions I had about their inspired menu. All of the dishes felt refreshed and delicious, with super fresh ingredients and new takes on classic dishes. Luke also crafted some perfectly paired cocktails to blend seamlessly with the experience, all while chatting it up about the area and being the best bartender one could ask for. All the way through dessert the meal never ceased to amaze, and the staff only made it a better experience. If you are looking for a celebratory fine dining experience in the Pittsburg area, Altius is the place to go.

  Overall was disappointed. Hype without substance. Of course the Pittsburgh skyline view is spectacular; with the Duquesne Incline as an extra treat. The service was good but at this price point the waiter should not need to be reminded to bring things. He also had us questioning if he knew we were still there he'd disappear for so long. The restaurant tries way too hard to be upscale with attempts to be showy and memorable albeit failed. In their efforts to be fancy, they try serving dishes simultaneously but it was clunky and each course came out at a glacial pace. Moreover, it was haphazard as to what was worth the wait. Meatball appetizer was exceptional; yet the filet mignon was cooked incorrectly, cold and wasn't melt in your mouth delicious. The scallops were awesome yet everything else wasn't worth coming back for. Truly let down by the experience and would never consider returning. Just visit the Incline or Mt Lebanon vistas to appreciate view. There are other establishments up here that will always deliver delicious food, as well as, the view. Recommend Valet ($9) or Uber.

  Went for my girlfriend's birthday, noted that on the reservation. The hostess who seated us and the server both wished her a happy birthday without me mentioning it other than what was noted on the reservation. Arrived about 15 minutes early for our reservation, got seated about five minutes before the reservation time. I made sure to ask for a window table when we checked in as it said to do on the website (you can't just request it on the reservation). They were able to accommodate the request, but I assume this is mostly luck of the draw with what comes available first. I appreciated the accommodation, nonetheless, since a big part of the appeal was the view. The servers were very attentive without being overbearing. We had an appetizer, entrees, and dessert. The food was excellent.....all of it! They also brought a little chocolate tart-type dessert with a candle in it for her birthday, which was really nice. The only thing I'd say is if you get there too early for your reservation and they can't take you right away, there isn't a ton of space in the bar area to sit and get drinks. Small bar area and one shared counter space without much privacy. Not something I really cared about since that's not what I was going for. The place was a little out of my normal wheelhouse for price range and what I'm used to, but I didn't feel robbed. Absolutely got what you paid for as far as quality of food, service, view, and atmosphere. I wanted a memorable night for my girlfriend and this place delivered. Would recommend for a special occasion or if you're trying to impress a date or out of town guest.
