Monterey Bay Fish Grotto

A beautiful spot, a place for a special occasion and they recognize and treat you well. It is pricey compared to most places in Pittsburgh but the view, the service and the food make it excellent. The service is energetic and attentive, they accommodate special requests and make dining there very special.

Outstanding restaurant with great food, service and view of Pittsburgh. Top restaurant in Pittsburgh.

Everything about the experiences five stars. Took my fiance here in celebration of our engagement and had a wonderful experience.

We were given a crap table, the worst in the place, despite having made a reservation months in advance for a group who had traveled thousands of miles and will never be there again. It was extremely frustrating. The food was okay, which was better than the usual mediocre.

This place is one of the best restaurants I've been to. Family and I just got in town to visit brother. Brother made reservations for us. We were concerned that we were dressed way too casual for a fine dining spot. We literally just put our bags down before we headed to dinner. But the staff was warm and welcoming and responsive and knowledgeable (wouldn't recommend coming in looking like a bum though).
Food was great. I'm from Maryland, so I consider myself a seafood snob. But the salmon was well sourced, a great size and proportion, and cooked perfectly. Crabcake was on par with some of the best spots in MD.
Even the background music was soulful. . .and of course, the view was spectacular. Highly recommend this place

Blake was my family’s waiter and was the absolute best service I have ever had. He knew it was my last dinner before bootcamp and he hooked us up. It meant so much to me and made it the best possible last dinner. The view and food was top notch. Such an amazing night and service.

Fantastic experience! The food was excellent, the atmosphere inviting, and the staff friendly and attentive. The views of the city are absolutely unbeatable. Highly recommend!

I have been going here for over 20 years!

Not only is the fish amazing and great service but the views make it a must for out of town guests to see why Pittsburgh is the most beautiful city in the world!

Prices are reasonable given the quality of food and service.

Great for business meetings and date night!

The view is a 12 out of 10. The food was excellent and well prepared: crab cakes rivaling or besting what you find in Maryland. The wait staff was professional and upbeat-positive-friendly. Celebrated our 7th anniversary with a perfect ambiance.

We were looking for a place in town with a view for a client dinner. We were recommended to come here by several people. Wow, wow, wow, what an amazing experience. Everything at our table was amazing, every meal, every appetizer, every side, and every dessert. Their signature desert was amazing wow. Thank you so much to everyone here for making our evening so great and memorable. I will be back for sure next time I am in town.
