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.

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

A lot of detail was put into celebrating the former station into a glorious new life as a restaurant. Our server was attentive and nice. The lobster bisque and calamari were decent. Flavorful and a nice way to start our meal. The not so good: The Cesar salad was soggy. The quality of steak and lobster was poor, which normally wouldn't be an issue but for an $80 surf &turf dish I expected a decent quality meal. The steak felt like I was chewing paper pulp and the lobster was chewy. The mashed potatoes and butter for the lobster were so salty that it was overwhelming and couldn't be finished. The halibut was literally nothing special. It was fine (but at this price point it should not be just fine). The bed of rice was overcooked and clumped/congealed into a single mass which was difficult to eat. I did not try dessert - so cannot speak to that. Tl;dr: Overall come for a drink and a view - maybe an app - but don't pay for overpriced bad meal.

I lived what I got and would be thrilled to get over to their other locations sometime, but in the meantime, happy if they can bring the truck my way again!

Wholey & Co. is a historic Pittsburgh seafood market, established in 1912, known for its vast selection of fresh, frozen, and live seafood, meats, and poultry, plus a popular hot food counter famous for its large fish sandwiches. Located in the Strip District, Wholey's offers a traditional market experience with live lobster tanks and a deli, alongside online ordering and delivery services, and is a city staple for both locals and visitors like me Outside a vendor was serving lobster rolls. We wanted the pre-made ones. We walked around the store observing the large array of fresh seafood, looking for the lobster rolls. We found the live lobsters , with someone holding one. Fun!

It didn't taste like crab and the shreds in it were so small you never got the sense it was there. Tables were dirty and there was trash in the floor. We were probably there two hours.
