Outstanding service. Incredible delicious food. And the desserts were off the charts wonderful!!!
Highly recommend! Everything we ordered was 10/10, but the crab cakes and ahi tuna were the highlights. The staff could not have been more professional, knowledgeable, and kind. Don't leave before trying the angel food grilled cheese dessert, too. Monterey Bay is a must when in Pittsburgh
Service was exceptional and you can't beat the view. Expected more from the food. I had chicken and it was a bit dry and overdone. Had difficulty cutting it with my fork. However the flavoring was great. Desserts were good. Brought out of town guests and they enjoyed the experience.

Monterey Bay Fish Grotto offers a memorable dining experience with great food and attentive service. The view is spectacular, overlooking the river and city, with almost every seat providing a breathtaking panorama of Pittsburgh's skyline and rivers. The atmosphere strikes a good balance between elegance and comfort, making it suitable for special occasions like anniversaries or casual nights out. The restaurant features a variety of delicious dishes, including seafood and steak options. A popular appetizer is the she-crab bisque, which is rich, creamy, and flavorful without feeling heavy. The seafood main courses are outstanding; guests often enjoy perfectly seared scallops, tender shrimp, and crispy yet moist crab cake, all tasting incredibly fresh. For those who prefer steak, the filet mignon is juicy, tender, and well-seasoned. Many diners also appreciate the roasted Brussels sprouts, which are caramelized and slightly crispy, pairing well with both seafood and steak. Service is top-notch—friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful with wine pairings and menu suggestions. The dessert is delicious, even for non-seafood eaters, making it a perfect spot for special occasions. After dinner, guests can relax in the downstairs lounge with a cocktail, enjoying the view and music. Overall, the restaurant offers a great combination of exceptional seafood, mouth-watering steak, and an unforgettable setting. Whether celebrating a special event or just enjoying a great meal with a view, this place truly delivers.
