| - Red The Steakhouse, surprise, is an upscale steakhouse. It's located in beautifully remodeled space on the first floor of the Steel Building, space previously occupied by a number of horrible, forgettable restaurants. It's Steakhouse classic in terms of decor, menu, wine list, and high prices. The execution is very good and it, therefore, deserves to be ranked among the best Pittsburgh steakhouses, but there's nothing to meaningfully distinguish it from the others. Our dinner last night was excellent, consisting of a shared 8 ounce filet (the smallest available), shared tomato salad, and shared mac and cheese. We also had a bottle of red Bordeaux from the extensive wine list. Service was slightly disappointing, as we were served the regular mac and cheese, not the lobster version we ordered and the server made us wait a long time for the bill. Another annoyance was the valet parking, which costs $14, but nowhere is that disclosed until the valet knocks on your window as you are driving away, having received a much smaller cash tip. So, we can add another good upscale steakhouse to the downtown dining options. Great!
