9 Best Seafood Restaurants in Pittsburgh

“We went to Monterey Bay Fish & Grotto on a whim to have a Friday evening bite the night before Valentines Day and it was phenomenal! We didn’t make a dinner reservation as we have in the past for the restaurant, so we stopped down into the lounge. The band that played in the lounge area, Jay & the Trio, was awesome! So Relaxing and elegant. They made our lounge experience, extra serene and special. Of course it being Valentines weekend it was quite busy, however we got a seat right away and it was perfect! Right by the window! We were able to see all of the pretty Pgh lights! Denise and Trent were awesome! Denise was our server and Trent was in the other room, yet any time he walked by he checked on us as well! Denise rocked the area with a smile even when I witness a man being rude towards her she kept a smile and stayed professional! Her service was great! They made a heck of team especially with the busy busy that was happening around them. The Valentines special app, yellow fish, was absolutely DEVINE!!!!! I am always skeptical about eating Tunas and the the yellow fish tuna was so good just typing about now makes me want it again! (wiping drool! Yum!) Kudos to the chef on that and I hope they keep it on the menu!!! The full lounge experience was a new experience for us! It was romantic, fun, and just wonderful! If you are looking for something to do or have a date I highly suggest you take a look at the bands on Friday night and just pop into the lounge are go a drink and a bite!!! Oh yes yes….i didn’t forget about the most delicate and delicious aaaand just gorgeous dessert than was on th V-Day special, and if they ever have it again…oh my GOSH, give it try!!! It’s so gorgeous you ALMOST don’t want to eat it, until you take that first bite and WOW!!! I heard chef Zoe is back and made it, maaaan am I excited about that!!! Amazing!!! Great Job, chef! I was impressed with all and highly suggest giving at least a stop into the lounge a try!“

“Our waitress, Elizabeth, was easily the best part of our experience. Crabcake appetizer was amazing, salads and bread service were both fine. Entrées were disappointing, my stuffed shrimp came with four pieces of shrimp, no included sides, and cost $48 - just did not seem like a good value for the price.“

“My birthday dinner last night at Red Lobster was a hit! The restaurant was calm and spotless, which was lovely for a late Monday evening. I indulged in the Ultimate Feast, and it truly lived up to its name. From the lobster to the shrimp, everything on the plate was perfectly cooked and incredibly tasty, providing a delicious lunch for me today. What really stood out was the service from Mitchel. He was attentive without being intrusive, genuinely kind, and ensured our entire meal was enjoyable. If you're looking for a reliably good Red Lobster experience, this particular location is definitely worth a visit.“

“🌟 A Sushi Delight in Downtown Pittsburgh! 🌟 If you’re a sushi lover, you absolutely must try the Spider Roll at Luke Wholey’s Wild Alaskan Grille. This incredible roll is a symphony of textures and flavors that will leave your taste buds dancing with joy. Imagine biting into a perfectly crispy USDA soft shell crab, complemented by the fresh crunch of asparagus and cucumber, the creamy richness of avocado, and the delightful pop of masago. This roll is huge and too big for our chopstick skills, so we used our fingers! Each piece is generously topped with a luscious combination of eel sauce, spicy sauce, and a sprinkle of scallions, adding a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and spicy notes. For just $19, you get 10 pieces of this culinary masterpiece, making it not only a delicious treat but also a fantastic value. Whether you’re a sushi aficionado or just looking to try something new, the Spider Roll at Luke Wholey’s is a must-try experience in the heart of Pittsburgh. 🍣✨“

“So, Red Lobster in Pleasant Hills was clean and had a menu with many options. I chose the shrimp skewers and added a scallop one. They were tasty. I added a side of Brussel sprouts. They were delicious. The biscuits were good. The baked potato was done well. All of the staff were friendly . It’s worth a return visit to try the Salmon Bowl or maybe the flounder.“
