We love this place! Amazing caesar w/crab! Lobster bisque is also terrific. Service is great.

The calamari was nice, I should have been warned it was an overpriced kids meal; 4 mashed potato's, 4 shrimp, and 4 asparagus in gravy --I believe that was the shrimp volcano? And grilled salmon. It could be better, the ambiance is a bit stale but convinced myself it was convenient.

Tried to call to ask about outdoor seating. Hostess told me no. When I went to inquire about indoor seating she hung up on me halfway through talking.Guess I didn’t want to eat here anyway.

This was our first visit. We love seafood and thought it would be perfect so expectations were high but you set them when you made that menu and pricing. Breanna was our server and she was perfectly fine, everything with service was fine. Nothing above the bar, but she was kind and seemed like a nice person (20% tip). The lobster bisque was very good for lobster bisque, one of the best bisque soups I've had. Then with the fries, man, it was very very tasty. I got a $30 lobster roll and as it was stuffed with plenty of lobster and the bread was amazing with it but it was well over cooked. I know it's hard to make it right. I get it. I noticed it was rubbery in the soup but gave you a pass as it's in soup simmering for who knows how long. But that 30 dollar lobster roll had some pretty tough pieces in it. The mussels were cooked properly tho. I planned on being fat and trying both lobster rolls but after the first one, that was enough. I'll probably try them again, and get the other lobster roll and maybe try the swordfish steak as that's hard to mess up. Overall for the pain in the butt parking, the overall DAHNTAHN (downtown) experience was a little rough. It's not the restaurants fault homeless people are outside begging me for money but that's part of your atmosphere. Then you want crazy top tier prices with an inexperienced or overwhelmed and careless chef.....that's not gonna cut it. Then as we are leaving you are turning away 3 people that dont have a reservation? Wow. The fries dumped into lobster bisque was pretty good, everything else was ma ma ma ma ma MID. It was honestly not much better than your average bar food. Make no mistake. I will try it again, to try a couple other things but if you dont have money to waste or if you have a craving for specific things they have, try them out. This could also be a one off experience. Even though a personal long time friend told me, AFTER THE VISIT, that he thought the lobster was overcooked. Cook could be having a bad stretch, bad day. I'll change my review when I try them again. But as it stands, yall want Ruth Chris Steakhouse pricing but giving me local bar food. It is what it is. Would never recommend to anyone as it stands now.Parking: It's the main drag downtown. Its ridiculous to find a spot and you're going to pay as well. Very high stress.
Not sure if I went in on a bad day or what, but the food was terrible. Incredibly expensive food that isn’t very good, I’ve had much better quality food at cheaper prices at Red Lobster which says a lot. Super disappointed, wish I hadn’t wasted my money there. Only positive thing is the french fries were good. Not going back.

The food was very good. We had a large party and variety of things. However, for the price it is tough to justify going back. I feel like you pay for the location being in the strip and not the actual food itself. Service was slow when we were there and had to ask multiple times for silverware and refills on water.

Read the mini bio/mission statement of young Luke Wholey at the front of the restaurant; so charming and somehow makes you feel personally connected.The food we ordered was cooked very well with great freshness, flavor and seasoning. The fish and oysters were excellent.We had the unexpected opportunity to meet and speak with R. Wholey who was very generous with his time in answering questions about the history of the family business. What a treat!Personally observed LW with a broom in hand and doing a quick clean of the stairs then also acting as greeter and host as guests came in. It was our first visit, hopefully not the last, and I hope the restaurant continues to have success and longevity much like the related Wholey's fish market and grocery store down the block.

Great food, large variety. Some of the least expensive but high quality seafood you'll get in pittsburgh. It's great to be able to have that quality in a casual atmosphere.
Great fish, but not a premier atmosphere
