| - I *love* this place!
I recommend using Open Table or calling for a reservation ahead of time because this place gets PACKED. Somehow I can always get a reservation right away, but without a reservation there's a wait.
They have a really nice outdoor patio that I like in the warmer months. In the colder months its indoors, and the building used to be an old hotel. It feels like an old building. Its a nice restaurant but it does look a little bit dated upstairs with the green stripes on the walls.
BUT---are you here to check out the decor or are you here to EAT?
I effing love Atria's food. It's probably so unhealthy but I don't care. Why is it so good? How??? I strongly recommend the Miso Glazed salmon, the meatloaf, the pot roast, the goat cheese ravioli and their reuben's are to die for. Literally you might die, bc they are so tasty they've got to be FULL of butter.
No one ever ate a reuben for their health.
The pot roast nacho's are OUTSTANDING. In fact ,any time I want to get my Dad to come to Atria's with me, I don't ask if he wants to go to Atria's, I ask if he is in the mood for Pot Roast Nachos. Turns out, Dad's always in the mood for pot roast nachos.
The only thing on the menu I don't recommend are the fish tacos. I had them on Saturday and they were just not excellent. Still tasty though!
The service is outstanding. Our waitress this past Saturday was Daya and she was so pleasant that we'll ask for her section when we come back.
They have a killer cocktail list too, the Blood Orange martini tastes like angels squeezed it from golden oranges in heaven. ??? Ok, I don't know what that meant, it is just a damn good martini.
Also, I spent my formative childhood years in Stuttgart, Germany. Their Oktoberfest menu is HANDS DOWN the most authentic, best tasting German food in Pittsburgh. I get asked where to get the best German food all the time. It's at Atria's, during their woefully limited Oktoberfest menu.
The Chicken Paprika is ... AUSGEZIECHNET. WUNDER BAR. Really effing good.
Everyone in Pittsburgh eats at Atria's, but if you havent yet, you really should make a reservation!
