Best Romantic Restaurants in Lawrenceville

Still doesn’t disappoint. If I could change anything it would be that we’re not rushed as much. Place is small and they want to make sure they can turnover in time.

Our first experience will not be our last! We live a few hours away and planned a weekend getaway. Everything from the ambiance, service, and food was impeccable! Check in and valet were seamless. Sitting on the swings waiting to be called to our table was a total vibe! We were seated below the bar right at the entrance. At first I had really wished we were upstairs but the food and ambiance made me forget right away! We started with the bread board appetizer which was delivered by one of the managers, Shakur. This impressed me because he was interacting with the guests and you could tell he wanted to make sure our experience was satisfactory! The breads were delicious and the spreads were perfect compliments! I had the haddock and my husband had the lobster mac and cheese. We were expecting small portions for the fine dining price—we were WRONG! We were shocked at how much food arrived and we had to box up a big portion of everything (appetizer, meals, dessert) that we ordered. To finish, we had to order the Pittsburgh cookie table! Were the cookies the best cookies we’ve ever had? No. Am I still glad we ordered it? Absolutely! I especially liked the heart shaped cookies. They were delicious! I must try brunch next!

We went for the Valentine’s Day dinner. The food was thoughtful, the drinks were creative, the service was attentive, and the ambience was electric as a result.

Our server, Meaghan, was terrific as usual, and she made an outstanding wine recommendation. The jámon Serrano with almonds and the scallops crudo were superb. Fun experience once again.

I have lived in Pittsburgh for 10 years and have visited Altius only 2 times for special occasions. This visit was one of them. I had a reservation and had mentioned a window seat that was honored by the team. We had the lobster gnocchi, chilled oysters and crab toast for appetizers, and skipped mains. All three dishes were delicious and well presented. For drinks, we had a red and white wine from their selection, along with two cocktails (a winter sangria and an old fashioned inspired drink called The Monks Elixir). We picked a coffee inspired desert called Coffee Break, which had coffee ice cream and mousse. Overall, we had a great time, our server was very kind and knowledgeable, and the staff made us feel comfortable. The view, food, and service were 10/10
