    Chris was our waiter and did an excellent job! I did not love the position of our table near the entrance of the kitchen area. We love going to Monteray Bay for our special occasions! It was our granddaughters first visit of many more. Food was delicious , as always.

    We went to dinner for our joint birthdays. We were the first to arrive for our reservation and so had the best table for a gorgeous view. The team was welcoming and made us feel at home. Our server was outstanding: polished and personable. We had the artichoke and the Brussels sprouts appetizers as vegetable sides. My scallops were done perfectly and the crab cake full of chunks of crab. Our server brought us both birthday desserts that were complimentary. A wonderful place for a special occasion meal and from which to see beautiful Pittsburgh.

    Lovely meal and great atmosphere with attentive service. We had the seafood tower which had ample fish, probably enjoyed for 3 people to share. The angle cakes dessert was a must. Nice music and nice booth but we didn’t really have a view of the river. It says you can’t guarantee a window seat but clearly some people were given preferences over others.
