BEST restauraunt in Pittsburgh! Once again, we had a 5 star experience at Monterey Bay Fish Grotto…read more Service, food, ambiance, views...all top notch. Sure, the price tag is steep, but worth every penny. Our waiter was nothing short of superb. He gave us perfect advice on what to order (mixed seafood appetizer, scallops, surf and turf and a 16 oz. Prime Rib), all of which was prepared to perfection. Monterey Bay is always a special treat that we save for our special occasions. I would wish that everyone could have the opportunity to enjoy this experience.

I will preface this review by stating that I had already left a review through Google. The manager…read morehad responded, giving me his personal contact information. I texted that number and no response. I even followed up a week or so later and, again, no response. I will leave my original review below. This past weekend, my boyfriend and I came for restaurant week. He took me there originally the night we started our relationship, we went here on our one year anniversary, and we continued the tradition this year. Unfortunately, we didn't have the most wonderful experience as our first year. It seems like every time we come, it's not as special of an experience. Our waitress Denise was not the most welcoming and we almost felt rushed our whole night. The first year it was all timed out well and we had plenty of time to enjoy our courses as well as our wine pairings before going on to the next. Just the little things like getting dirty silverware, music being quite loud, and nearly spilling drinks as they were set down. We don't treat ourselves often to nice dinners like this. To see the service quality go down each year is disappointing, especially considering how wonderful of a time we had the first year. I should also mention, after dinner my boyfriend made it aware one of the employees left the men's room without washing his hands. Needless to say, it was a disappointing night and we aren't sure if we'll be coming back. It's a shame because the food is wonderful and the view is just gorgeous.

Pittsburgh keeps showing us that this city hosts some of the greatest food spots, and Shay and…read moreBaeee's just got added to the list! Upon entering, I greeted with a friendly smile and a warm welcome from one of the owners, Shay. They have very extensive menu and had a nice variety of food available. There are two benches available to sit down on and wait for you order; however, this is purely a to-go spot, so there were not any dining tables. The prices are consistent with similar restaurants in the city, plus the portions are huge, so no complaints there. Now let's talk food! First, let me say they had some of meatiest, juiciest, lamb chops I've had from a restaurant in a while. Cooked to order, tempature of choice, and flavored sooooo well. Let's get into these candied yams y'all. Bravo to the chef, he made them perfect! Sweet and soft through every bite, and not one ounce of bitterness or crunchiness. We came at the end of night so we missed the Mac and cheese, but I will make sure to come early next time. If you are looking for a place with a little soul and seafood, check them out. You will not regret it!!!

It was an absolutely gorgeous day. Service was excellent. We shared the swordfish with asparagus and smashed potatoes My perspective: I loved pretty much everything on my plate. Swordfish was far from dry. It was well seasoned but my husband thought it was too salty. I did not find it too salty at all. We both enjoyed the veggies. It was pricier but we had fish left over and we shared. I absolutely was full. Stuffed. I would definitely recommend. My husband would too but I'd give it a 4.5 and he'd give it a 3.5

The Umami seared Ahai Tu entree was prepared to perfection; it melted in your mouth. Server was friendly and answered all menu questions. Ambiance is very casual.

On street parking is challenging but far cheaper then using the numerous $15 lots.

Our first time here and our expectations were exceeded. We knew it was a top tier restaurant but it…read moretruly excelled in every way. Service, food, drinks, atmosphere were all top notch. Our server was excellent and the auxiliary staff were courteous and efficient. We started with a calamari appetizer which was a little spicy but delicious. Beware of the two Thai chilies in the mix! Next my husband had the lobster bisque. It was quite rich with a large chunk of lobster as a garnish. Our main courses were a 10 ounce filet, wild caught shrimp stuffed with crabmeat and Chilean sea bass. Everyone loved their entrees. Our son especially loved the filet, it was so tender. We ordered two side dishes for the table and they were plenty for the three of us. Decadent lobster mashed potatoes and crabmeat fried rice. We shared a dessert, creme brûlée which was topped with fresh berries and served with chewy cocoa snowflake cookies. Overall the food was excellent. Service started out a little rocky. I had made a reservation online and it would only let me choose a high top. We don't like high tops so I called the restaurant a few days before and they assured me they could accommodate us with a regular table, not to worry. Upon entering and giving my name for the reservation, the Maitre D'être said it's for a high top. I explained that I'd called and we didn't want a high top. He said he could only offer us a booth in the lounge, so we took it. The lounge had a jazz trio playing and the music was a bit too loud for comfortable conversation. The server had to talk above the music to be heard by us. Luckily they took a break and when they came back the volume was lower. As we were leaving I noticed there was a whole dining room with empty tables which were NOT high tops. So why did they seat us in the lounge? Our drink orders were pretty simple, however because they serve the cocktails from the shaker, the server mixed up the dinks and poured my husband's margarita into my 'dirty' martini glass. So I had a three blue cheese olive margarita! A margarita-tini! He realized what he did, apologized and ran off to get another margarita for my husband. I had eaten the olives and tasted the margarita, which was very good. When he returned, he asked if I still wanted the martini and I laughed and said, yes, that what I ordered. So my husband got the benefit of two Margaritas for the price of one and I got three extra blue cheese olives! That was the only goof up. The rest of the meal was flawlessly served. I felt that even though the prices are high, the portion size and the quality of the food provide a good value. You expect to pay more in a place like this. It was well worth it in my opinion. And if you are there during Happy Hour you can choose cocktails and appetizers from the Happy Hour menu which is quite reasonable.

Our cocktails were subdued but very tasty. First we were served a pea soup shooter--we all wanted a whole bowl. Then a couple of appetizers--the 'compressed pineapple' with frisse was interesting with a flavorful dressing, but not too sweet. I got the special, seared tuna with a shrimp over udon noodles and a Hoisin sauce with some sort of wasabi. Again, the flavors were unique but not overpowering. Also got the chicken with couscous and peas. Sounds plain but it was anything but plain. The other mains were just as good. We finished off with three desserts. The carrot cake got rave reviews from my dining partners (not my style). The Creme Brulle was very large and perfectly cooked. But the best dessert was the deconstructed Smore. The chocolate, the merengue, the graham crumbs, a little ice cream. Oh, I'm going to be dreaming of this dessert for a long time! The price is also quite high for pittsburgh standards--over 100/person--but well worth it for a special occasion!

The food was delicious…read moreatmosphere was typical restaurant and the service was a bit unlike I'm used to for a bonefish Grill. I got the soup and salad bunch combo, which was a chowder and fish tacos. It was delicious. My friend got the soup and sandwich combo also but got fish and chips. This is where it felt like this restaurant was understaffed for the amount of people that arrived for Good Friday lunch. My friend had to wait 10 to 15 minutes for our server to come back to get malt vinegar for her fish and chips which caused her food to get a bit cold. I definitely recommend the chowder!!! Overall, I wouldn't let this stop me from going back to bonefish. I've always had great experiences there and it wasn't the server's fault that there was an influx of traffic that may have been unprecedented for staffing decisions.
