When I called to make the reservation at 5:30 pm- I needed to meet my boss after work. The restaurant does not allow any business to be connected. They should tell the person this before the reservation is secured. It was simply awful... You were treated as a criminal if you had one device out to conduct business. The food was good not the best! Spend your money else where!

The first thing you notice at Altius is the stunning view -- you can actually see the clarity of the Allegheny and the muddiness of the Monongahela as they flow west side by side as the Ohio -- as well as the point, the city, and points beyond. Time your arrival so sunset occurs simultaneously with dessert and you won't be able to stop looking out the window. Oh yeah, then there's the food. We started with crab toast appetizer, then got down to business with one of those incredible pork chops and a steak. All wonderful. Yousef our waiter was one of the best we have ever had -- personable, attentive, knew every item on the menu and provided spot-on recommendations. Finally, the price -- bottle of wine, appetizer, entrees, and dessert with a generous tip cost a little over 200, which I thought was very reasonable considering the overall experience. I am not a huge fan of very many things Pittsburgh (NFL reasons) but Altius is one of the best restaurants we have ever visited.

Have eaten here at least 3 times and am looking forward to the next time I want to splurge on the beautiful drinks, food, and view. On the most recent visit the wonderful bartender reached around the crowded bar to hand us a drink menu & then came back around to take our order for my strawberry Stoli drink & hubby's Altius specialty gin & tonic. All the food is delicious and the staff is friendly and professional. Makes the Mt. Washington view even more spectacular.

They give you complimentary amuse bush and popcorn before your meal which was amazing. The food was amazing but not as amazing as the view.
