| - We were excited to try Vue412. Getting to look out over Pittsburgh and enjoy a new restaurant. We went on a Thursday and it was a quiet night there. We got a great table overlooking Heinz Field and the rivers. It was lovely. The wine selection was very nice with nothing too crazy expensive. The menu, too, was terrific. I was the one who couldn't decide, but everyone else found something right away. We got...lobster mac-n-cheese, chicken Romano, chicken parmesan, and salmon with tortellini. Everything dish was prepared so well. They were all terrific. Our favorite; the lobster mac-n-cheese. The person in our party that doesn't usually finish meals polished this off!! We got one dessert to share; death by chocolate. Yum!
The owner/manager came over to the table twice (Joe). He was very nice. He told us a little trivia about the rivers we didn't know. He told us everything is made there, farmed locally, and to order. Jason, our server, brought us our calamari appetizer very quickly and our meals nicely spaced afterward. We were in a bit of a time crunch, but we didn't feel rushed. It was just right.
Pricing ran about $30 per person with 2 wines, 1 appetizer, 1 dessert and 4 entrees.
I would say, however, the ambience needs to be updated. It seems like this used to be a different restaurant and re-opened as Vue412. Oh, and the bathrooms are on the third floor!?!
But, really, try it. You will not be disappointed.
