THE GOOD:
The view and the service. Specifically request a view by the window, and you'll be awestruck the whole meal by the amazing view of Pittsburgh - the restaurant's main redeeming characteristic. Our waiter was also very pleasant and attentive.
THE BAD:
The food, yo. And the prices. I am continually disappointed by the food at upscale, pricey restaurants. The food just doesn't live up to the hype, and the Fish Grotto was no exception. I didn't like the meal I got at all (one of their more expensive fish), and enjoyed my salad appetizer and the free bread significantly more, in fact.
THE UGLY:
The atmosphere. It's themed like the tropics, I guess? With huge fake palm trees everywhere? It sort of reminded me of the cheesy casino in the 1990s movie The Mask. Not really the upscale atmosphere I look for in an expensive meal out.
IN SUMMATION:
If you want to cruise up the duquesne incline and end at a restaurant, I wouldn't really pick this one, especially since you can see the view of the city for free outside. The food isn't worth it, especially for these prices.
