rev:text	I really would love to give the place 5 stars as I had high hopes and expectations before my first visit but unfortunately the experience was short of 5-star worthy. We arrived as a party of 5 just 5 minutes before our reservation time and checked in w/ the hostess. We then waited for 20 minutes by the door for a table to open up. I understand as a restaurant you can't go around asking guests to leave because other people are showing up and Altius being Altius can afford to slightly book tables closer together because people that made reservations aren't likely to just give up (I mean we did wait for our table) but this simply is not what a 5-star/perfect dining experience should start off with and very disappointing. Fortunately the night went better from the moment we sat down at the table, one that's almost the farthest from the window. We attempted to get switched to an empty table by the window but were kindly turned down by the manager for needing 5 chairs at a 4-person table. Fair enough. The waitress brought up some popcorns to start off the night and honestly they were delicious if not just a bit too salty. After ordering we were also served some bread w/ dips and spreads. The rosemary focaccia was a favorite along with the sundried tomato dip. As for starters we ordered oysters, steamed duck buns, and calamari to share. The oysters were good, probably as good as they could be in Pittsburgh. Duck meat in the buns was seasoned very well and that dish was the most popular app at the table. Calamari was a let down and let the arugula salad that came on the side steal the show. Finally for entrees the table had duck breast, mahi mahi, sea bass, and lamb chops. Maybe I just can't excited by fish these days but both mahi mahi and sea bass were good but not exceptional. Duck breast however was great, not surprising considering the steamed duck buns were awesome. I would consider the lamb chops to be the best out of these four main dishes, seasoned and cooked to perfection. As for dessert, panna cotta with mango jelly (?) was a great choice and the macarons were respectable. Overall I wish they were better at timing the tables/reservations but I would probably be back again anyway. To maximize one's chance of being seated at a table by the window (at least in the space upstairs), go with a party of 4.
