| - My Wife and I came to Pittsburgh for the Art Festival and thought we would have dinner at Altius, since we had received a recommendation from a local. The service was very good and we were very impressed with the over all attention; but the food was another story. I ordered the Salmon and Lobster which was excellent and my wife had ordered the Lamb, which arrived over cooked. Our server Cheryl, took the dinner back and 20-25 minutes later (and after I had finished my dinner) the second lamb arrived and it was raw, which again was verified by the server. So now, she took it back and my wife changed her order and waited another 20-25 minutes. I then watch my wife eat her dinner well over an hour and 15-20 minutes after arriving to Altius. It was a terrible experience, when ordering a lamb dinner at $40 bucks it would be nice to have it prepared correctly. You would have thought the entire dinner would have been compted, but no. My wife's dinner was compted but after such an experience, you would have though the management would have stepped up and said "hey guys we blew it" this dinner is on us. That never happened!. We think we have figured out why these things happened. At about the same time all this started to happened, the current Governor of California, Jerry Brown, arrived and it seemed that all attention was directed to him and I think our order was affected; since he had more servers than Mike Tyson had in his hay day. The next time we are in town we will give them another chance; my wife still wants to try the Lamb!
