It took the waitress a long time to take our order and also to bring our drinks. The waitress was pleasant but food took a long time and my steak wasn't done Medium like I ordered but I didn't want to send it back because it took so long to come in the first place. For the price that we paid, the quality was not good. The atmosphere was nice but the quality needs to improve before coming back and spending almost 300 on dinner.

The food (steak, sauteed spinach, potatoes au gratin, shrimp cocktail) was outstanding. The service was also outstanding. The fact that you walk through a casino to get to the restaurant, and the general casino feel of the place, took the experience down a notch. However, if you want a great steak above all else, give this one a try.

My husband was asked if he minded removing his baseball cap after we were seated and placed our order. He replied that , yes, he would mind. There is a personal reason he wears a hat, which we did not find necessary or appropriate to divulge to this establishment. Another manager came a few minutes later and said we could either leave the table and sit at the bar, or leave the premises entirely. I voted to pay for his drink and depart (my money spends anywhere) but to avoid further embarrassment he reluctantly removed the hat. It was an extremely uncomfortable dinner for us both. While we were dining, a young woman was seated wearing a tossel cap, like you would wear when you go sledding. When I questioned why she wasn't asked to remove her hat, I was told the “rule” only applies to men. Mind you, after a thorough search of their website, there is no such policy mentioned, nor is there any signage whatsoever at the entrance. The food was fantastic, but we definitely will not return. There are many other wonderful restaurants in Pittsburgh.

We enjoyed a great Valentines Day dinner. Both the Steak and Chilean Sea Bass were excellent. We have celebrated various occasions here and the service and food are always outstanding!

This place was fantastic chain prices for a 5 star dining experience. We had the tuna and filet with a couple drinks and dessert and the bill I recall was under $150 which has alot of value. Very formal and high end feel with a relatively low price. The casino and casino bar are just awful but this restaurant is the reason to come down to the meadows. If you need a nice night out with some great food with service to match you go here!

Valentine's Day celebration with my husband and it was a limited menu. Most restaurants do have limited holiday menus however this restaurants version was very limited. The only vegetable was asparagus therefore, we didn't have a vegetable with our meal. My husband and I both enjoyed our protein of choice. Chop salad truly was not so great perhaps that was a limited version as well. I graciously gave it a 4 star due to the service and ambiance. Otherwise it truly should be a 3 star. Very underwhelming.

I got the 7 Oz filet, baked potato, and wine. Bread. My companion got beer, salad, chicken, and loaded baked potato. We'll definitely visit again and try more food! Sit by the window. Nice view. Will be more exciting with the races.

Good food. Friendly service. Bring some money. It's not McDonalds. We'll then again you certainly have to bring money there as well. Thanks, Joe. We love you. NOT!Anyhow, yeah, I'm not busting on their pricing. They do feature quality steaks at this establishment. That has always been pricey. Reason why? Because they're good silly. Yummy. My lady, a real biological female, and I will return to this place. ?

We arrived on time and was taken immediately to our table. Our waitress was very nice. The food arrived quickly and was so delicious. We don't eat out a lot so this was very exceptional. Was a very pleasant treat. A little pricey but every once in a while was worth every penny. Would definitely go back.

You still could smell the cigarettes from the casino. Service was a bit slow. The steaks were ok. The sangrias were not good. There was an annoying humming noise during my 50th birthday dinner.
Our server Jessica was very good, polite and friendly. there was a garlic allergy at our table and she made sure the food ordered was safe for that person, the food was excellent, Only complaint / thought the restaurant was a little too dark inside

This was our first visit here. Celebrating our anniversary. Our food was outstanding. I ordered the Filet Oscar with a side of sauteed mushrooms. She ordered the Chilean Sea Bass with Oscar choice. Both were cooked to perfection. We split the wedge salad, and it was delicious. Service was excellent. We are already planning our next visit.

We were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary and I had asked for a window seat not in a crowded area. Our seat was a perfect view of the racetrack covered in snow. From the greeter saying happy Aniversary to our excellent server, Ben, to delicious Crabcake appetizer to delicious, perfectly cooked filets, it was an awesome eating experience. This was our first time eating here and we were completely satisfied . Highly recommend!
Excellent experience at Bistecca! The food is always mouthwatering, the BEST filet in the area! We were celebrating my MIL's birthday and the staff went above and beyond to make it a memorable one for her! Thank you Ben and Buddy for the 5 star service!
