If you’ve never been to an omakase before and you are with someone who is new to raw fish, this is a good decent intro spot.

We always enjoy Siempre Algo, but this dinner was particularly special. We tried lots of items we had never eaten before. I can heartily recommend the caviar on homemade chips, the shrimp tempura, the tuna tartar, and the affogato with fennel ice cream. All beyond delicious. Siempre Algo continues to be one of Pittsburgh's best and most innovative restaurants.

It was our anniversary and we were seated next to the Christmas tree. Our waitress Tiffany was so sweet, and attentive! She made great recommendations and always checked in on us. Food was amazing as always! From freshness, flavors, to portion size and overall value.....outstanding!! We do not live close by so when we get the chance to go, we go. Always order a take-out meal and sauce to go, even though we have leftovers from our meal. Thank you again for making our anniversary evening so spectacular!! Can't wait for our next time ❣️

I took my staff here for a Christmas dinner and we had a great evening. Meggan was our server and she was very friendly and attentive. Reed, one of the managers there, always makes sure that you feel welcome and all of your needs are met. The food was good and everyone was happy.
