My husband and I went for breakfast- he had the egg sandwich and the brioche bread it was on was amazing! I had the fruit plate and added Greek yogurt which was delicious. Recommend! read more

It's the restaurant at the Fairmont and it doesn't come close to other Fairmont related restaurants. For the price, they had 2 servers for the entire dining hall. Those ladies were doing their absolute best. For the price, I expect perfection and while the food was good, I left unsatisfied. The drinks were on point though! Even though they charged alcohol tax on my wife's mocktail. read more

Stopped here for happy hour after work and I'm so glad I did! This restaurant and bar is located on the second floor of the Fairmont Hotel, one of the nicest hotels in the city. The bartenders crafted our drinks perfectly and provided excellent service throughout our visit. The atmosphere strikes a great balance between elegant and welcoming and you'll see everything from elevated casual and business casual attire to guests attending upscale events. It's a great spot for happy hour, drinks with friends, or a special occasion. If you eat at a table you can even get a great street view of downtown. read more

A bit too pricey for a consistently decent experience. The food is okay, the service is okay, the prices are steep. The menu has a couple highlights, namely the blueberry pancakes and the fresh squeezed juices but the rest of the breakfast menu is breakfast from home. It's not a bad breakfast in a pinch or if staying in the hotel and they aren't generally too busy which can be a plus when downtown. Overall, for a pancake lover, may be worth a shot, otherwise there are some stronger local choices for a breakfast in the burgh. read more

Had a mediocre experience here over a recent brunch. Despite not being very busy, the service was extremely slow (I mean we were refilling our own waters and looking for a server at multiple times.) I had shakshuka and it tasted good, but the egg was overcooked so it wasn't the best I've had. read more

A few colleagues drop into fl.2 for happy hour. There's a real upscale flare with lighting, decor, and robust/hearty menu. Opted for the Smash Burger. Pretty good burger overall. The main event was the fries. Thinly sliced, crisp and well seasoned. Paired with the aioli ... *chefs kiss*. As far as beverages, I had a couple of mojitos. Very refreshing on a cloudy Pittsburgh day. Service was solid. read more

So I came back a month later for a business meal, and while I cannot applaud my timing (traffic was terrible on account of the streets being blocked off for a festival), I'm glad I did. The apple salad and salmon were fine the first and second times (as leftovers), but listen to the reigning Yelp Duchess when I say that the whiskey sunburst was A-MAZ-ING. read more

Haven't been there in a long time and the food has really stepped up! They've also changed the prices on the menu and the service was great. Mariah was an excellent waitress and definitely would go there before Eaton Park or anywhere in the North Hills for breakfast. read more

Located on the second floor of the hotel.. there is a large bar with the restaurant space in the back. Front of house folks who seat you are great and accommodate as quickly as they can. The service we got (data set of 1 visit) wasn't so great. Food took forever to come out but once it did the taste was fine. (Good) Will we be back? Probably not due to our waiter not getting us our orders in a timely manner. He was too busy working a table of drunk guys for more drinks to increase his tip from them. He blamed the back of house saying there wasn't a full staff in the kitchen. read more

Delicious drinks, beautiful atmosphere. This is on the second floor of the Fairmont and offered us a quieter bar to have a cocktail upon arrival in Pittsburgh. The first round of drinks was perfection. We had the gin cocktail and an old fashioned. The bar got busy when we were ready for our second and we waited quite awhile for our second round. The food everyone was ordering around us looked really good and we should have stayed for the burger. Second round was good but not great, we definitely felt like the quality wasn't there on the drinks, but probably bc the guy was in a rush trying to get everyone served. My only disappointment was that... I'm guessing they were short staffed for the night. Would definitely come back again to give it another go. read more

Can't speak on the food because I didn't eat here- but had 2-3 great cocktails here! Stopped here after dinner with a friend after she raved about the espresso martinis. They were fab! The ambience is beautiful. It's a lovely hotel, and one of the nicest "hotel bars" I've ever been to! Doesn't even feel like a hotel bar The bartenders were really kind and knowledgeable about the drinks, and had recommendations for us. I can't remember what the other cocktail I had was, but it was so refreshing and light- the perfect summer bev read more

What an incredible dining experience! So often the staff can make dinner so much more exceptional. We have been to a lot of restaurants, in the. USA and abroad. Jered was unequivocally the best server we have ever had. He is extremely personable, very knowledgeable, and goes out of his way to make every course of your meal exceptional. I just cannot speak highly enough of his skill set. On top of that, the food was outstanding. We loved the pear salad with the port wine reduction. The onion soup was the best we've ever had. They even went the extra step to split the portion in two bowls! Grilled bread service with flavored butter. The filet with homemade mole sauce was incredible. The sauce was so good I asked for extra! Cocktails were creative and unique. The chocolate cake was fresh and worth the calories. Executive chef Canales visited our table and told us about the complexities of making homemade mole sauce. He has a secret ingredient! If you've not been to this FL. 2 recently, I would strongly suggest you go. It is well worth it! read more

We went to the pride brunch today and it was absolutely amazing. Chris did such an awesome job putting it all together. The food was great, the servers were so accommodating and sweet and we had a great time watching the performers! This was our first time but we truly hope they continue this event for pride so we can make it a regular Pride event. The vibe was so fun and positive throughout the performances and just a fun place to be. read more

Came here with a group for a pre dinner drink on a Saturday night. We were easily able to find seating for our group of 7 along the booths/tables on the wall. The bartender was prompt, considering his full bar of patrons. He was quick to take our orders and bring out our drinks. He didn't bat an eye when we requested individual checks at the end. The place is definitely on the higher end both in price and decor. I ordered the nacional royale and it was $17. With tax and tip, I was paying close to $22-23 for a beverage that had a good amount of ice. My friend paid for two glasses of wine and was out around $50. I think if you're looking for that comfortable, relaxed, but intimate and fancy environment, this is the place for you. read more

By far one of the best dining experiences we've had! My husband is a foodie and he was not disappointed with anything he ordered. I concur! The waiter, Jarred, is the best waiter we've ever had. Exceptionally personable. Very knowledgeable. Very accommodating. My husband and I split the pear salad. Excellent! And we split the French onion soup. But spooky I mean that the kitchen actually divided them both so we reach had our own serving. No other restaurant we've gone to has ever done that. I love French onion soup and this was the very best I ever had. We also ordered the crab dip appetizer. Excellent. Hot . Creamy with plenty of crab. For my entree I got the salmon and it was delicious. Chocolate cake for dessert. Muse and Mist for my beverage. Everything was superb!! The chef came out and was delightful. My husband had the filet mignon with mole and couldn't stop tanning about it. We will be repeat customers for sure! The entire meal was well paced. What a wonderful evening with great food and great service! Ten stars!! read more

This was the perfect place for brunch!! I came in with 17 girls for a bday brunch! They handled all of us so well!! They set up 3 booths for us and food came out way faster than we ever expected!

I rarely ever give a 5 stars but this place was so great!! John our waiter was so sweet!!! We'll be asking for him again when we come back!!! read more

Floor 2 had me covered and I appreciated that. A group of us went to Floor 2 after our prior stop was so loud we could hardly hear ourselves speak. We just wanted somewhere we could sip on a few drinks and casually catch up. We hadn't seen each other in a year so there was a ton to talk about. Floor 2 wasn't busy so they let us sit at a larger table and our waiter never intruded, only pausing to check in on us. It was very mellow and much appreciated. Then a rainstorm rolled in and began dumping buckets. I thought it would let up, but it maintained the deluge. Floor 2 began to close. They announced last call, but allowed us to linger due to the pouring rain. We stayed as long as we could without being rude and then left giving our thanks for their hospitality. The drinks were exceptionally good too! I had a gimlet and found it perfectly balanced and easy to drink! read more

I think Fl 2 is one of the more modern / chic restaurants in downtown pittsburgh. Located inside of a hotel, it is just up the stairs. The aesthetic is very pleasing. Reminds me of a New York City restaurant / bar. Dinner menu is decent, I definitely recommend for brunch over dinner. Espresso martinis were yum! read more

Beautiful restaurant and amazing food. Service subpar. It was hard to get waiters attention. Every time he came by we felt like we had to order quickly or else we wouldn't see him for another 10 minutes. Overall, good experience. We came to celebrate our anniversary and were given a complementary champagne toast. We sat on the side where we can see the kitchen which was pretty cool. We got to see them making the food & serving the plates. Not pictured the dessert. But we had the lemon blueberry creme brûlée & chocolate brownie cheesecake. I would like to add that one of the waiters overheard me speaking to my husband about wanting the creme brûlée for dessert and he said there was "only one left" he made note to the kitchen that I wanted it and they reserved it. That was much appreciated and it was amazing!! read more

Nice ambiance, service, food. Parking garage right next to it and valet parking available right out front for 13.00 with validation by restaurant. While food was delicious, I have a few qualms: 1) prices are extremely high. $115 or two short rib with pasta entrees, one sangria not filled to the top of glass, one cocktail, one apricot dessert with basil ice cream and one chocolate martini. No salads. 2) dessert menu only had one chocolate option and that was the chocolate martini. Sad to not have anything else with chocolate?? 3) chocolate martini-- I ordered expecting it to be served in what else but a martini glass but no.... read more

Floor 2 is a super cute and trendy spot conveniently located in the Fairmont hotel. We had no wait for a table for 2 on a Friday night and while we were seated immediately, the service afterward was lacking. We only ordered a drink and appetizer, and it took forever to be waited on or checked up on. I'm still giving 4 stars because the food and drinks were phenomenal, but I wouldn't recommend coming here if you're short on time. read more

Terrible service. $1200 bill. Didn't clear away plates. Forgot salad dressing, cheese, drinks. Waiter was testy about it when asked questions and for follow up.

In search of cute brunch places in Pittsburgh, my friend and I came across Floor 2 in Downtown Pittsburgh! Fortunately, we were able to make a reservation the morning of. As the name of the restaurant suggests, it is on the second floor of the Fairmont hotel. The building and restaurant itself was very elegant and modern with a casual dress code. I admit that the menu was limited but we were still happy with the available options. My friend ordered the shakshuka and I got the eggs benedict. She also ordered a latte and I got coffee. The coffee mugs were clear glass and I was surprisingly provided with an entire pot of coffee to refill my mug with. I definitely got my money's worth of the coffee, but I felt bad that I couldn't finish the entire pot. The shakshuka looked delicious, with two pieces of toasted bread to dip into the skillet. However, at some point, my friend noted that she ran out of bread and substance within the skillet to dip into, with only the soup remaining. My eggs benedict were quite good, with perfectly cooked potatoes on the side. I especially enjoyed the ham, which was thicker and fattier than most places, which seem to serve deli meat. However, I was under the impression that the eggs benedict was coming with smoked salmon, not ham. I also thought the dish could have had a salad on the side to fully complete the meal, but the provided portion of food was perfect. read more

This review is for the bar only. In my opinion it's one of the prettiest bars in Pittsburgh with an upscale ambiance.

I was excited to try Floor 2, and while our service was great our food was average. We did have to send one of our entrees back, and while the kitchen did quickly remake the order it came back with the same off taste. Perhaps the kitchen was having an off night. The ambiance, views and cocktails were great! read more

I absolutely love the vibes here. The food isn't my favorite because it's pretentious as my boyfriend would say but I like the vibe and the wine. I absolutely love the atmosphere from the moment you walk up the stairs and the selection of cocktails are creative and everything that I need it to be. The only reason I don't visit this place as often anymore is that I work from home and the prices are pretty pricey. read more

The girls & I checked out Floor 2 in the Fairmont hotel & had a fantastic time drinking & dining together. If you want to enjoy this beautiful space nearly to yourselves, grab some cocktails at the bar after you finish brunch. You might even get some beautiful rainbow lighting on the tables like we did. Lobster Roll $24 - delicious buttery roll, good overall, just not super flavorful. Would try the salmon eggs Benedict next. Espresso Martini $12 - perfect & in lovely glassware Fl 2 Cosmo $15 - good, nothing too exciting Whiskey Sour - again, perfect, & the bartender was so nice This spot is pricey, but was worth the splurge for a fun girls' day out in Pittsburgh in a beautiful setting. Imo this place is best during the day when you can take advantage of all of the windows & great lighting. Tip for the DD: You can park in the garage at the hotel & they'll validate your parking at the front desk. Just bring your receipt on the way out. read more

We ended up having cocktails at fl.2 in my other favorite hotel in Pittsburgh, the Fairmont. I have stayed here a few times and the breakfasts have always been really good. We popped up for a drink since we had time until dinner and I am always reminded how lovely the space is. The views are interesting and you can see interesting architectural details on upper floors of the buildings across the street. Dan inquired about their "cocktail of the week" and the bartender, not expecting that question on a slower night, asked what he wanted... an Old Fashioned - it suddenly became the "drink of the week". We watched them serve at least 8 or 10 before leaving. The service was nice and I enjoy the ambiance here. I can't speak to the food at lunch or dinner, but for a cocktail or two, its lovely. read more

This is one of the places in the city I was most looking forward to trying, and I haven't been this disappointed in a long time. Starting with the service; it wasn't a busy night but we still waited more than ten minutes for anyone to speak to us at the host stand, as the only people there. Once we were greeted, we were told it would be a few minutes, even though it was eight minutes past the time of our reservation. When we were finally seated, a waiter dropped off waters and promised to be back "in a few" but by the time they did return, we could have ordered our entire meal right then. The drinks were small for the price, I got an espresso martini and my partner got something gin based. They were decent, but nothing we would order again. We also got the burrata as an appetizer which was okay, but again nothing spectacular. Our entrees were the most disappointing. I got the short rib agnolotti, and the flavor lacked and it tasted like there was a coating of water over it. Almost as if it was cooked awhile ago and a cover was put over it while it was steaming and formed a mist on the food. My partner got the strip steak, which wasn't very well seasoned and the potatoes were so salted they were difficult to have more than one bite of without a drink. In the hour and 45 minutes we were there, our waiter stopped by a total of four times (if you count the dropping off of waters then heading into the distance). For an almost $200 bill, I would have expected higher quality service, and certainly higher quality food. I wouldn't recommend this for a birthday or any other special event. The bar service seemed much more attentive so you could try your luck if you're just looking for a drink before heading to your final dinner destination, but I wouldn't take my chances. read more

If I were less stingy, I could round up to 5stars for this place. We've not been here since before COVID, but little has changed. The menu is a little more diverse, primarily from the addition of a few nice pasta dishes. I had the excellent short rib pasta and my date went for the half chicken, which was also very good. The only other food was the complimentary grilled bread. For drinks it was a martini and a couple of glasses of wine. We will typically buy a bottle of Chardonnay, but the lowest priced bottle was $107, much more than we wanted to spend. The glass choices were fine, with decent quality and reasonable prices. Service was excellent. We'll be back, but the frequency is limited due to the lack of a palatable wine list. read more

This review is actually for two meals: dinner and breakfast the next day, but I'm going to focus on dinner. Our server extraordinaire, Jared (I hope I'm getting his name right, he said he answers to any J name) was an absolute legend. Honestly, this review gets 4 stars off the bat just for this king. He knew the menu inside and out with personal recommendations and anecdotes based on things he heard each of us say. Jared/Jeremy/Jerald also took outstanding care with my wife's severe food allergies (dairy and gluten). We are usually skeptical and hesitant to eat out in general because we know it is tough for kitchens to accommodate, but it was my brother-in-law's college graduation and we wanted to properly celebrate him. J-money immediately knew which items he felt confident could be easily adapted or were good to go as is and put our concerns at ease... and that's a huge deal for people with scary food allergies. All of our food was excellent. Yes, the prices are what they are, but honestly, stop being so cheap with your food experiences; splurge every once in a while on a nice dinner! Dang! If you don't want to spend a lotta money, eat at McDonald's I guess (which, like, is also cool. Do that). If you are expecting a very nice hotel in the heart of a big city to have a cheap restaurant, you're... you're... drunk or something. I dunno. Stop being so weird about paying for good food. Anyway. We got a table nearby the exposed kitchen area, which we all quite liked. It felt really unique and was well designed. It wasn't noisy or distracting or anything and Gordon Ramsay didn't scream at anyone. (Maybe that's a negative?) I liked it. Oh yeah, breakfast! Breakfast was effing fantastic. Best pancakes I've ever put in my eyeballs and my mouth. Seriously beautiful and delicious. Like. I was angry at my family for not also getting these stupid good pancakes. Here's a picture. Good place. Great server. Eat here. Or don't. Do whatever you want. read more
