| - It seems that no Grandview Avenue restaurant can deliver on the perfect four:
1. Great view
2. Good food
3. High level of service
4. Reasonable price
I had high hopes that Altius would crack this 4 pronged Fort Knox after learning it is run by the same group as Bistro 19, but alas, it fell short on #3 and #4.
1. The view is killer... Leave it at that and look at the pictures
2. The food, while not mind boggling, surpasses all other options on Mount Washington, so it gets a pass.
3. The service... oh, the service. A maybe it's because we dined at restaurant week, but it was lacking. No one offered to take our coats, we never received the raved about bread service, the wrong table's meals were delivered to our table twice and ours were delivered to another... It just was sub-par for a joint at this price point.
4. The price. While we dined on the restaurant week special, I took note of the main menu. Prices are easily inflated 10-20% over what similarly priced/quality food would be at other PGH locations and a $12 Captain Morgan mixed cocktail... Really?
While i was glad we tried it, I had wanted to use this as a special occasion joint Instead, I'll likely be looking elsewhere.
