Redfin Blues - Appreciate - Seafood Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Let's be honest, people come here for the great location. Love the atmosphere here, it is right on the river with a large amount of outdoor seating. But that's pretty much all that redfin has going for them. Food is very subpar. I got a salad and I was left unsatisfied, sadly I could make a better one at home in five minutes. Yes I know it's a seafood place but my friends didn't enjoy their dishes as much as they would like either. They also stopped take out which is what we would do for nights out on the boat since you can dock there and grab food quickly. May be because of lack of staff, not sure. Wish I could give a better review. read more

Great food great location and dog friendly we had a great time here and loved the view of the river with all of the boats read more

Literally a lovely deck and view ruined by chain smokers. 90% of smokers don't want to sit there and get wafted in the face with clouds of smoke while they eat. We show up to 2 ashtrays on the table, one was full of buts, gum, and hair*gag*. We were there for all you can eat crab legs. They were okay. It was dusk so bugs started coming out. We couldn't get the check quickly enough, we were dying to get away from the smoke and bugs. read more

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE! I came on Sunday 8/7/2022 with 7 other people. In the menu it says can't split the check for parties of 8 or more, which was annoying but we decided to put up with it. Service was OK at best. Food was decent, the issue was when it came time to pay, we took the time to separate the payments amongst the cards, calculating how much we each owed. After we all paid, including my mother, who put the included gratuity on her card, there was a mystery balance of $46 remaining. When we inquired of the waitress, who was scared of the manager, she couldn't explain it. The manager came out, and was curt and dismissive of us, and did not explain why there was a balance left. Three people at the table, myself included, hold doctoral degrees and are quite capable of doing math, and there should not have been a balance. We were spoken to as if we were not intelligent, and it was not lost on me that our party is of African American decent, and the manager is not. This place has the potential to be great, but the way it's run now is going to hinder it! Never going back! read more

The food here is really good, however the service is hit or miss. Our waiter yesterday gave some of the worst service we've had. We were there for 2 hours and saw him 3 times. One of those times was to redo our food orders since he forgot them and the other was to bring back a drink he messed up which took another 20 minutes. Overall good food, good view, but bad service. read more

Service was pretty slow, I didn't like my drink or food we actually left after getting our appetizers which also weren't the greatest. I think it's just personal preference that I didn't like this place. It was recommended to me by my client that morning. read more

This was my first time dining here and unfortunately, it will definitely be my last. I came here for a date night to eat out during COVID-19. First of all, very few guests wore masks, despite the restaurant's postings that face coverings were required. Because open drinks were not allowed on the premises, most people congregated, without masks, in the walkways and entrance to the restaurant. It is definitely not a safe/hygienic place to visit right now. My boyfriend and I ordered two drinks at the bar, which we were very excited about. I ordered the strawberry basil mojoto, and he ordered a bourbon lemonade. We expected nice cocktails, given they cost ~$10 each, but what we got tasted like something you'd pour yourself out of a 50-gal storage container at a college party. Very disappointed in the quality of the drinks based on the price. The food we ordered was definitely not fresh, but I told myself it tasted okay at the time. We ordered the calamari, mussels, and seared tuna entree. Two hours later, I became violently ill and spent the rest of what was supposed to be a fun evening hugging my toilet at home. I've never had food poisoning before and this experience has ruined this restaurant for me. I spoke to a colleague the other day who said she had also eaten at Redfin and gotten food poisoning. I know it's hard to keep the menu going during the pandemic, but if you can't serve seafood that won't make people sick, then you shouldn't offer it!! The only positive thing I have to say about this place is that the ambience is great and very romantic. But we still won't be coming back just for that. read more

***this review is based on my experience there during the green phase of COVID-19 I did not feel safe or comfortable being there. Not all of the staff was wearing masks. Some staff were wearing masks incorrectly (not covering nose, mouth and chin). Social distancing did not seem to be enforced with the patrons. Many people were there. We ordered a drink from the bar then left due to our feelings of discomfort. Normally this is a great outdoor spot to enjoy in the summer but would not recommend during the pandemic should safety be of importance to you. read more

***COVID related only*** I came here on Friday and was disappointed to see that none of the male servers or male bartender wore masks. Only the male host and ALL female employees wore mask. Our male waiter didn't wear a mask at all. The bartender didn't wear a mask or gloves. Perhaps because the restaurant is outdoors they thought it was okay. But all employees should be wearing masks! read more

hostesses are kids dont care to seat you place full of moskitos because of the purple lights and when we asked to move host didnt care at all run by kids Didnt a manager No manager came by to asks us about food Ill put a screen shot of a video for the moskitos i wish i can upload the video its totally unsanitary Even the bathroom has spider nets read more

We ventured back here. Food was great service was great. Managers-you need to disinfect tables-including salt and pepper shakers in between customers. Bartenders please don't add fruit to a drink with bare hands. No lemons or limes needed during COVID-19. Upgraded due to quality food but really lacked in understanding Covid 19 protocols. read more

Redfin Blues - Seafood Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

We have been wanting to stop here for the longest time to dine on the river and we stopped on a hot August day with our fairly large goldendoodle. We were on our way back from a dog-friendly event in the Strip and were pleased that this spot welcomes dogs and has a special outdoor section to sit with them that is shaded. The outdoor area is beautiful. Scenic, shaded. It was HOT but our dog Dolly was able to lay in the shade with some water and enjoyed bites of our food. There is a section of seating that's closer to the water with pub tables that I'd like to enjoy on a day we visit here without our fur child, because the view from those seats is even better. The food was good. Our appetizer came out quickly and was fresh, and tasted great. The rest of our food took a bit longer to get to us, so I'm glad we weren't in a big rush. I ate every last bite of my salad and my husband said his chicken sandwich was delicious. The cocktail menu looked great too, but we didn't get a chance to try those out. Maybe next time, we do plan to return! read more

Friday night for birthday dinner...got there at 4:30, so no wait for table on the deck. Our server was great...very friendly and attentive. Food was just ok...first, the positives: We had the Mussels Margherita for appetizer...awesome! Tender, full of flavor. Would definitely order again. We had ordered the garlic-lime shrimp entree. JUMBO shrimp, very tasty. Negatives: I ordered the Caribbean Jerk salmon. Asked for it medium rare...most of it was RAW. Zucchini/squash side were barely cooked, hard and ice cold. My server graciously got me another serving...came back the same way. Love the deck, service was great, but overall the food was just ok. May stick to appetizers next time. read more

I have really enjoyed this place each time I have gone. I would recommend going during the summer so you can get the full experience. It is a great atmosphere to be sitting outside at the marina overlooking the river. You also can bring your dog here which is plus for any restaurant that offers this in my book. On top of the great atmosphere, the food here is delicious. My favorite appetizer is the Thai chili shrimp. The shrimp are cooked perfectly and the sauce is a great combination sweety and spicy. My favorite entree is the crabcake sandwich. While it is a little pricy, you definitely get what you pay for and it is one of the better crab cake sandwiches I have had. read more

I'm from out of town and this placed popped up when I search for places to eat outside. We were lucky to get a seat around noon on a weekday. Great view of the river and everyone liked their food. This was one of my favorite places we ate at during our visit. I will return the next time I visit Pittsburgh read more

The location is perfect, we parked our bikes and grabbed a seat. We've been here before for drinks, we tried a cider on this last visit, recommended by our waiter, and it was perfect, not too sweet. We also ordered French fries to snack on which were perfectly seasoned. Our waiter was perfect, very attentive and engaging. There is ample outdoor seating, tables, high tops and seating at the bar as well as indoor seating. Try it out, great views! read more

I hope this place improves since we love to support neighborhood businesses and there aren't many good restaurants with water views, but here is a review I submitted to the manager today. -------- Hi, I just wanted to say that I have gone to Red Fin for years, mostly for the opportunity to be on the water. However, after a few bad experiences with the food, I and my friends go to OTB at North Park. The last few times I ate at Red Fin, the food was horrible, and I either felt sick to my stomach or had to run to the bathroom, whether just a simple salad, tacos or a flatbread. I understand you are a seasonal operation but I think you would be much better with a simple menu and quality ingredients. The menu is too big, things like the pulled pork tacos taste like processed food rather than anything fresh, and a simple steak salad made me feel nauseous all evening. I have had a number of people tell me they have had similar experiences and either don't go there or eat somewhere else and limit their Red Fin visit to drinks only. I hope to hear that the food actually improves so I can go back. Sent from my iPhone read more

Ate here tonight and had the blackened mahi tacos which were very good. Substantial portions and reasonably priced. The Quantum Spirits Lemon Pi drink is always a must have - soooo good! The service was maybe the best I've been had. They were so attentive and gracious! Will definitely go back! read more

If you want wings smaller than your fathers donger with the same buff sauce that GetGo uses, this is your place. If you want to wait an hour for an overcooked burger that tastes like it was cooked directly on a dumpster fire for that extra char grilled flavor, this is the spot! Always wanted servers to give you an attitude when you tell them your burger is way over cooked (asked for rare and got well done) this is your place! Wanna converse with your friends for a while and not have the waiter intrude by refilling your drink or giving you your food... oooh boy I got news for you!!! Want to pay overprice for mediocre bland food, open up that wallet! You don't want to try anything new and different and you also hate big menus with a lot to offer... you should give this a try. How about when you have a party and they refuse to split the check because it's more than 5 people but they don't say anything before hand so now you and your friends gotta run around and try and figure out each others bill and pull cash out of the ATM and hopefully someone has enough money to cover everything. It's like a fun little game! Also if your food tastes bland enough someone at the table next to you will be kind enough to light up a cig and blow it right into your face giving your food a nice smokey taste! At least the view was nice You get one gold star!!! read more

This is just one example of how they handle the food you are consuming. Many things are placed out like that. Very dirty read more

We were looking for a fun place to eat lunch outside, have a few drinks, and enjoy the sunshine. We were seated immediately on the patio overlooking the river. Our server Informed us that this was their last weekend open as they were closing for winter the following day ... I mention this because they were out of a few drinks & ciders. Due to reviews & low Yelp rating, we thought we would try a few appetizers before ordering lunch. The fried avocado was AMAZING & plentiful. The peel 'n eat shrimp ($17) were small but plentiful ... but rather bland for the amount of seasoning that was on the shell??? The lobster roll was mediocre, especially with the $21 price tag. The wings were OK ... All in all, I would return for the atmosphere & view but wouldn't go hungry because I'm cheap and expect the meal to match the price tag! Service was very slow and the server would disappear for 20 mins at a time. Again, a lot of these issues may have been due to it being their last weekend?? I hope this place survives because it's unique for Pittsburgh, but they seriously need to address the service issues and mediocre food. read more

This place is terrible. I watched the busser repeatedly set the dirty rag he used to clean tables onto the clean stack of appetizer plates and silverware at the hostess cart. $10 for a mojito that is literally just tap water and a few mint leaves with a splash of Bacardi and simple syrup...$10 more for stale chips and Giant Eagle salsa...Food took forever and some people in our group got their entrees 10 minutes before others. Cool view fwiw, but let's be honest, this isn't the beach or the shore, there's no way the view makes up for how bad everything else is. TLDR Unsanitary, overpriced, slow, heat lamp food straight from Sysco, there are no redeeming qualities of this place aside from the view. read more

Great service! Even better location on the river. The coconut shrimp was the best. Highly recommend for a relaxing atmosphere.

Great dining location..nice atmosphere by the waterfront..I don't usually care to dine outside but the tables come with a nice umbrella and comfy chairs..Based on the reviews I read before I went I wasn't expecting great food..BUT to my surprise the food was on point..Redfin wings were pretty delicious..jumbo lump crab cake sandwich was average but the fries were tasty..Two of my friends got the all you can eat crab legs and were pleased. The only issue was one of my friends got full and couldn't finish her crab legs and our waitress declined her request for take out..Other than that our lunch date was great! I would return but no rush to go back.. read more

This is a very hard review for me to write. I used to love the atmosphere here but it has been going downhill steadily for the last few years. The food was always average but the vibe made up for it. However, I think this last time, will be the actual last time. We went Friday afternoon around 2, and were seated by the bar. The garbage smell was so overwhelming it was hard to eat. 80% of the servers were miserable; I heard one tell the table behind us that "the food comes out when it's done" when they asked about their food. The food took forever and just like before, it was just pretty average. read more

The food is okay. Nothing that would make me want to go back. The all you can eat crab legs were the way to go, I should have done that. Every time my water was empty, I had to ask for a refill. That was very annoying. Then the waiters shift was over so he asked us to pay the bill because he wanted to get out of there. So once he left, nobody took over and we were stuck sitting there until finally asking someone if we could get some more drinks. It wasn't the best time or the best food. read more

The outdoor patio is gorgeous! The service gets 10 stars and the only reason I can give 3 stars. The food was overpriced and underwhelming. Peel n eat shrimp was over cooked, lobster rolls were very mayonnaise-y and barely filled the roll, shrimp basket came with 8 shrimp and quinoa salad has no dressing or seasoning. With a few cocktails out bill was $250 for 4 people. We would come again for snacks and the view but not for an actual meal. read more

We absolutely loved the setting. We sat overlooking the Allegheny and the bridge. It was a very relaxing setting. The menu looked really good but we went for the all You can eat crab legs. Please don't be fooled by the link to their menu on Yelp because it is outdated. The all You can eat crab legs are 69.99 per person. They were good. They weren't the best crab legs which you would think they would be for the price. They were broken, not great color, and some had no meat in them, which would indicate a lower quality crab at a premium price. We get all you can eat crab legs at the beach for 60.00 each and they are amazing. Very large whole clusters with great color. I would likely not get eg crab legs again but we will definitely go back and try some other dishes. The service was pretty good in the beginning but we found ourselves waiting quite a while for refills. The refills came out one plate at a time for 6 people. Needless to say the plate was empty instantly and left us waiting for another. The drinks were all very good. Hoping to take a bike ride down next time. We have passed it previously on bike rides. They are right on the bike trail so very convenient if you ride bikes in the area. I will leave another review next time we go and we don't eat crab legs everything looked delicious. read more

A 3hr wait before the dinner rush even begins and not offering call ahead or reservations is not an acceptable method of business.

This restaurant is a waterfront spot that serves primarily seafood. I'm not going to lie, I was really excited to try this place but was let down. The food is a little below average and the service was alright. The scenery of the water front was obviously something you can't beat and it was comfortable for the time being. We ordered the crab cake and nachos for an appetizer and the crispy shrimp, fish tacos, and chicken sandwich for entrees. In the appetizers, the nachos were similar to what you could get at a sporting event and the crab cake was priced high but was not good and actually had a few shells in it that I tasted. What we also found unattractive was the pre-packaged sauces that they put on the plate in plastic containers. Makes us wonder the date and freshness of the ingredients. The entrees were alright but as I said, nothing special. I most likely won't go back, and probably wouldn't recommend to others. read more

We had a party of 5 and came by boat. We were seated over looking the water which was perfect. Then the manager told us we couldn't sit there. So we moved to another table. We told him friends just came in on their boat could they sit at the table next to us ...he preceded to tell us everything would be on one check !!! Because we knew them !!! Which is absolutely ridiculous!! The manager was totally unreasonable and rude !! He should find another job where he doesn't work with customers. His people skills are terrible. We were there on Saturday July 16, 2022. Our waiter Ryan was great !!! read more

Redfin Blues - Jerk Grilled Salmon - Seafood Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I came to this place with my bf on a Sunday night, the service was pretty good which is why the food and prices really disappointed me. They are charging $22 for a lobster roll that tastes like it came out the freezer with more bread than lobster. Pretty much everything we got here was sHIT for the amount of money we wasted. We ordered some cooled shrimp for our appetizer and to say the least it came out tasting like the shrimp I left in my fridge 23 days ago. I'm not going to go any further in slandering this place but really if you wanna save money don't even try this place and if you do, there's wayyyyyy better seafood than this around no matter how beautiful the view they have. 9 bux for a beer :( read more

Had a meal yesterday (Fri, Jul 9). Great location and a big crowd of happy people. Drinks were good, as was the lobster roll, but the mussels were not. Sand, shards of broken mussel shell, and the mussels were a tad old. I could not eat them; got through about half of them and left the rest. My partner had a couple and liked them, so it might have been an off day for me. We will try it again and write an update. read more

The location is nice and it's a neat place to sit outside on the deck to enjoy a nice day. The service was fine as well. The food was very average. It wasn't bad. But it wasn't good enough to make me want to eat a meal there again. I got the shrimp and crab pizza at the waitresses recommendation. It was average. Good crust and cheese, but the shrimp was below average and a touch chewy. Maybe I shoulda got crab legs like everyone else. :/ read more

My family comes here often on a nice day and we are always happy with our meals and service. The atmosphere is the best part.
