I came here for a Yelp event. The location is great. It's located downtown In the Fairmont Hotel on the second floor. The decor reflects it's pricing. For Pittsburgh, I would still say it's somewhat pricey. The ingredients are local and so are the recipes. We had a special sample appetizer menu so I can't speak to the quality of the overall menu but what I had was delicious. We had ox tail and pork shoulder. Again, I didn't order off of the menu but I would recommend giving it a try based on what I sampled. read more

We had a really delicious bday dinner with my teen daughter and her friends. They loved their meals and were so excited about the fun experience. Much needed change from chick fil a and constant at home covid lifestyle. Plus I had an awesome concoction from the cocktail menu. Super nice waiter, too. I like their spaced out tables and glass barriers between booths. I recommend fl.2 if you want a tastey night out that's got decent covid precautions. read more

Had a client in town, and this was a convenient location. The menu seems to offer a little of everything. The oysters tasted fresh, and were a great way to start. We had the sea bass and the lamb, and both were delicious. We both had the Japanese Cheesecake to end the night. Neither of us were fans of this desert, but I'm not sure that's the restaurant's fault as much as me not liking this style of cheesecake. Looking forward to stopping in again! read more

A 2 for the ambiance. Don't be fooled by high prices, I've never been so disappointed in a meal, or in service. The wait staff was inexplicably slow. Our server was also aggressive: eavesdropped on conversations, looked at our phones, and got way too close while serving. The server aggressively asserted that our orders were insufficient and attempted to sway our dinner choices. Left feeling unsettled, unsatisfied and $430 poorer. read more

We made a reservation for Sunday brunch and when we arrived, we waited nearly 10 minutes to be seated, as the hostess was nowhere to be found. It was not at all crowded and several bartenders stood there and did nothing to acknowledge us or get someone to sat us until we spoke up. When we finally were seated, the table was dirty. We asked the hostess if someone could wipe the table. The hostess got someone, who told us that the table was clean and just stained and then proceeded to demonstrate this by wiping a mark which came clean. When we pointed out that the mess came up, she said it was a stain and walked away. How do you not only refuse to wipe a table, but try to show how it's stained, then upon learning it's not stained, you walk away?! SO RUDE and SO GROSS. The actual service from our server was really great! He made sure that we had everything we needed and check on us often. He was the best part of our visit, as the food was lackluster and bland. I don't think we will be back, and I would urge others to not waste their time and money. read more

Fabulous spot for weekend brunch! The restaurant is gorgeous - flooded with light, modern decor, yet still warm and welcoming. Our server - Don - was excellent: super friendly, offered really helpful recommendations, and was attentive and thoughtful throughout our time there. My husband ordered the Market Breakfast Sandwich - a little smaller in size than we expected, but still delicious. I ordered the French Toast and it was DIVINE! This place will definitely be on our list of Pittsburg favorites - can't wait to return on our next visit to the city! read more

Fl. 2, or Floor 2 at the Fairmont offers an incredibly unique dining experience in the heart of the city. We were traveling in for the EQT 10 Mile Race and stayed at the Fairmont. I travel often for work and have eaten at many of the places in Pittsburgh and this is absolutely one of the, if not the best in town. It's a brand new restaurant offering a fresh design that is unlike anything else in the city. It's modern and refined, while offering a casual feel. The Service: My wife and I were treated to exceptional service for both dinner and Lunch. Special thanks to Gary, Dom, and Rico for the recommendations and full Raw bar experience - outstanding! EVERYONE at the restaurant seems to genuinely take pride in this new concept and went out of their way to make sure we had a great experience. It was enjoyable to see the staff excited for us to try the next course and every detail of each dish/drink was explained to us before trying it. The Drinks: Incredibly unique drink menu with our favorites being Ode to Alexandria and the Smoked Pimientos were drinks unlike anything we've had before. So refreshing and artistic! There is also an entirely local beer selection that highlights the budding Pittsburgh Craft beer scene. Kuddos to the team for designing this with a super-local feel. Most unique drink menu in town and the wine selection is simply fantastic. The Restaurant: Beautifully designed with Copper highlights and an industrial/designer feel that feels very "Pittsburgh" while looking nothing like anything else in Pittsburgh. The Centerpieces of Fl.2 are the 25-person Round bar and a cozy marble fireplace. One of the most beautiful places to enjoy a meal in town. On a side note, my wife and I also thought the music playing during the meal was a nice compliment to the meal. Overall, Fl.2 provides great dining atmosphere, with warm lighting and the feel you're in one of the "hottest spots" in the city! The Food: Wow - unlike anything Ive ever had. Chick Pea Fricassee, the Chicken(best I've ever had) and Pork Belly were among our favorites. The Red Kuri Squash, Pasta, and Desserts were also memorable. Among the most unique aspects of this concept is the Raw bar. There are several species of Oysters, Scallops, and shrimp that were beautifully presented. Apparently the menu will change seasonally and offers such a variety of unique dishes, it would take one 4-5 visits to try everything. Meals are meant to be shared and this is part of the concept. For dinner, we ordered 4-5 different dishes and it provides a great opportunity to try many different items! We will definitely be back and can't thank the staff and servers enough for making it one of the best meals we've ever had! Recommend getting a reservation and get there an hour early to enjoy a drink at the beautiful bar. Check it out...you won't regret it! https://media-cdn.getbento.com/accounts/a82123819cc1aa73ec31b732ff608fe5/media/accounts/media/D0ph5FKSZadyrtla3Xuw_Floor%202%20Menus.pdf read more

Bougie done badly. (Over-wrought, over-thought, not very good cocktails. Over-priced, too trendy wine list. Did not try the food, unimpressed with the dessert menu.) read more

Stopped here for breakfast. The bar was wide open. Service was great. Prices were reasonable. Got the french omelette and a side of seaside tomatoes. Esposito got the breakfast sandwich and the stuffed french toast. We enjoyed this. read more

fl.2 - New American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Fancy restaurant in Pittsburgh! Good vibes. It's located near Benedum center and Heinz Hall, so it'd be nice to visit before the show. The servers were very nice, and food came out in timely manner. Drinks are on point. Food was good, but was not surprising. read more

My first visit after it changed from Habitat to Floor 2. Since its in the same space it still overall feels the same but I am a fan, has an open kitchen you can see from the dining room. Service is still good, but a bit inconsistent; very quick service when I sat down and ordered, but went a good 15 minutes after receiving food with no one checking in on us. Main course (family size fish) and sides were delicious. Bread and butter is an extra $4, a little bit nit picky for an expensive restaurant to begin with. My $10 drink was almost all ice, so was not impressed with that, and the desserts were bland and very small portion size. So a solid 4* in my book with the food being delicious and service being generally good. If you want a drink, just get a glass of wine; their cocktails are overpriced and watered down. And go get dessert at the MilkShake Factory a couple blocks down; much cheaper and you'll enjoy it much better. :) read more

Fl. 2 is second to none in the downtown Pittsburgh brunch market. It is clean, offers a contemporary ambiance, and most importantly--delicious food at an affordable price. I had the chicken meatballs and my fiancé had the avocado toast. Both were large portions, delicious, and reasonably priced. Compared to Or the Whale and Meat and Potatoes, Fl. 2 wins every day of the week (and especially on Saturday and Sunday). read more

We went there for dinner to celebrate a friend's birthday. Fantastic service and super yummy food. Our group shared the tomahawk steak, fish, and chicken. The steak was well seasoned. I would've loved if it had a little more char, but that's just me. Fish was a surprise with its two types of sauce preparations, both versions very delicious. I didn't get to try the chicken though. The start of the table for me were the super delicious tempura style fried mushroom. They were light, tender, and just heavenly! The wait staff were very warm and accommodating. I forgot the name of our server, but he was super engaging and in top form. read more

Very pleasant, nice room, great stall. My wife loved her eggs Benedict, and the accommodated her special requests. My omelette was so-so, potatoes were cold and it didn't come with toast. Very expensive for what you get. read more

We really enjoyed our evening here-from our server Jared to the awesome ribeye and lamb shank. The vibes are great as well! Loved the atmosphere. We will definitely be back and recommend that you stop by when downtown for dinner and drinks. read more

My wife and I came here to celebrate her PhD. We left celebrating the creamed corn. The cream corn is legitimately the best thing I have ever eaten in my life! I am stunned right now that a dish so simple could be so delicious. read more

Food was great. Service was spectacular! (Dom, I think?) Try the almond croissant! Will be going back. read more

Went to Fl.2 for lunch and shared a bunch of apps, entrees, and desserts, and so was able to get a good sense of the lunch menu/food. Overall, a much better menu than habitat and better makeover to the restaurant, including the new bar, which is pretty Grand. Here are the dishes I tried and the grades. 1. heirloom carrots. B+. Very solid appetizer. The sweet ricotta on the bottom made the dish. Wished the carrots were cooked more, as the server said they would be blistered (but they weren't). I would order it again. 2. Chickpea fricassee. B. My table mates liked this a lot more than me. I thought it was average. The tomato base kind of obscured garlic aioli. 3. Chicken and Brie tartine. B+. This was a fresh open faced sandwich, with argula and roasted chicken. Very large portion. My only complaint was I didn't get any real Brie taste in it-- would up the brie (and aioli) and decrease the amount of chicken. But overall, very solid. 4. Hamburger. A. Burger was great. Liked how it was on a sesame seed bun. I'm not sure, but I felt like they may have sous vide it, as it was really moist. The shoe string fries were terrific! 5. Steak frites. B. Good flavor to the steak, but was disappointed that there was no chimichurri sauce, as advertised. I guess they cook the steak in the sauce, but didn't really get that flavor from the dish. But an overall good steak, cooked properly. Same great fries. 6. Beignets. B. Just okay. I thought they didn't need the chocolate sauce in them, as there already was a honey sauce on the plate. 7. Babka. B-. Too dense for my taste. I'm not sure if a babka is supposed to be like that. But good flavor. 8. Fruit tart. A+. I may be a sucker for a good tart, but it was terrific. Creamy lemony base, fresh raspberries, and perfect crust. Really nice dessert. 9. Coffee. A+. Not sure where they get their coffee, but it's first rate. Service was a tad slow, but otherwise fine. Overall, a huge improvement over habitat and I would recommend giving it a shot. Will have to try it for dinner. read more

Cool vibes but that's it. Expensive for very mediocre food. Inattentive wait staff that didn't know anything. Limited choices and the waiter told us that half the menu sucked. Honestly just don't go here. Pick somewhere else. Trust me. read more

Poor service. Waited 10 minutes to be served. Overpriced entrees. Seek other places.

Overall cool spot and great ambiance. A bit pricey for the portion sizes. Cocktails decent and food was good

Food is just okay for the price, but most annoying part is they do not start serving dinner until 5 so if you go for a late lunch there is such a limited menu...couldn't even make a simple salad. read more

My husband and I had a 7:45 reservation for his birthday dinner. We had heard good things about this spot and wanted to try some place new. We arrived early and had a drink at the bar. We were seated around 8:00. Our server finally noticed that we were at his table at 8:14. He actually asked how long we had been sitting, as he "didn't see us come in". We ordered off the limited menu (due to Valentine's Day). Our first course came out and simply wasn't great. My husband and I sat with empty drinks AND water glasses for the 46 minutes we waited after finishing our starters. Our waiter walked past our table several times and never once stopped to check on us. He delivered our main course and quickly disappeared without saying a word. My husband actually had to flag him down on his next trip past our table to order another drink. We were both disappointed with our meals, especially the "Lobster for Two" that tasted like it was freshly caught out of Chartiers Creek. We are truly not "snobby" people. We work in public service and deal with the worst of the worst. We understand that people have bad days. This absolutely terrible service would have been more understandable if our waiter wasn't spending time at the table beside us showing the two women pictures of his dogs and sharing his life story. We were never once rude or short with him, and should have been afforded the same service as other patrons. A $300 bill for what was hands down the worst meal and overall restaurant experience that we have ever had. We've had better service (and honestly meals) at Applebee's. read more

Brunch. Very nice atmosphere. Very long cook time for scrambled eggs and an omelette which were cold. Potatoes were low quality frozen OreIda. Too expensive. Not worth it. read more

The service is good. The atmosphere is to die for and the decor is stunning. The food was very good as well. Personally, I can't wait to go back and I would definitely recommend it. My only complaint would be the menu- it's different- so for some people it may feel very limited. Also- the portion sizes weren't huge so don't go on a completely empty stomach! read more

This is my first time in Pittsburgh as well as my first dining experience since arriving in the city. I found Floor 2 on a Thrillist article of must eat places in the city. I'm so happy I came here first. The food was incredible and a dashing decor. If you're coming in with a small party, I highly recommend sitting at the bar with Dee. She is fabulous and a rockstar! She's so attentive and personable. Dee was definitely the highlight of our dining experience. Looking forward to returning. read more

Came here for happy hour and found out that they have great appetizers. I've heard good thing about the brunch menu. After trying out the appetizer, I think I will comeback for brunch or dinner. The atmosphere and music are great as well. read more

They apparently don't need our business We used to dine regularly at Floor 2. Lately I've called twice to ask if they can honor a dietary restriction I have. No one returned my calls. It seems that as a hotel restaurant, they don't care if locals dine with them. We won't bother going there again. read more

The food was overall good but expensive. The mussels were delicious. The cinnamon bun was huge and tasty. However, it was also room temperature for some reason despite arriving in a cast iron pan that implied it would be warm (and It would have been much better if it had been warm too). read more

Will never stay at the fairmont in Pittsburgh again American Express travel is aware as well of the substandard service.

A gorgeous space with a very courteous staff! While the service was wonderful, the food was a bit lacking. Among our five, we ordered the Pupusa (2 thumbs up), the Breakfast Sandwich (great), an American Breakfast (standard) and two would-be grilled romaine steak salads. Given the recent romaine issues, the chef substituted what we were told would be a mix of spring mix and iceberg, but was more akin to bok choy or something similar. Unfortunately, the bitterness of the lettuce far outweighed any semblance of steak taste, though I'm not sure it was that much to speak of, unfortunately. This doesn't mean I won't try Floor 2 again - the space alone is worth the trip! But tread carefully on this particular "Floor." read more

This was my first time trying this restaurant with my two girlfriends, and unfortunately I was very disappointed particularly because of our waiter whose name is Jered. Right after we sat down, he offered us a three course meal option which we politely declined. From there, I felt like he felt slighted and essentially ignored us the rest of the night. He seemed irritated when talking to us, never asked how our food was, never refilled our water, and when the drinks and food came out slow - he never apologized. We get our food, and there was a hair in my food which I never mentioned until the very end when he literally kicked us out of our table although we were still finishing dessert. Not to mention, when my friend picked her dessert he told her not to get it and to pick anything but that. He complained when we asked to split the tab saying we should have asked in the beginning, then split the tab entirely wrong so we ended up having to split it evenly amongst the three of us, again not apologizing. We would have mentioned it in the beginning if we knew that was the policy. I completely understand feeling tired and having a long day, as it can be a demanding job, but I felt like his behavior was extremely inappropriate and condescending. I have never felt such irritation from a staff member, and I feel like he was disrespectful the entire meal - which was quite expensive on top of it all. I am sure this isn't the case with every waiter, as we did have an older gentleman who came by who was extremely pleasant. But unfortunately this tainted the entire dining experience for me. read more

Came here for a post graduation brunch. Not at all bad. The highlight was actually the cocktail. The bartender knew her ish! She made me a perfect caipirinha with the right amount of sweetness and like. Perfect for that humid brunch time! The graduate had a Smokey floral cocktail which was absolutely mind blowing, forgot the name. Having said that I Doubt you'll go wrong with the cocktails For the food, nothing outside the ordinary for a brunch menu. I had the quiche in which the eggy custard was well seasoned. The crust was a little too overdone but not bad all in all! My buddy had the chicken crepes and I wish I had gotten those Bc the shredded chicken and aioli they served the flakey pockets in was just delightful. Overall the winners in my opinion are the ambience (beautifully decorated and swanky) and the cocktails. The bar is pristine and the bartender was fantastic ! The food is good and won't be steered wrong but again nothing that crosses Barriers. If I was a hotel guest I would be more than thrilled to have this at my doorstep ! read more

The architecture is great and makes an impactful first impression. Walk in, look around, and then leave. I went there for a small celebration dinner with a 5 friends. The server was upset when we didn't want to do this thing were we told him a few things we liked and let him order for us. I've been places that do this, but this place isn't one of them. It's just something he likes doing. We ordered a few hundred dollars in drinks and apps. Drinks were good, but then the starters came out. He literally stuck his finger in one of the dishes while explaining it and pretended like nothing happened. Weird, but ok--stuff happens. Then they brought out the charcuterie and it was literally deli slices of salami and pepperoni. I'm used to Pittsburgh lackluster food, but for $30 this was ridiculous. Even Spork has a great charcuterie. Even with the server putting his finger in our food, the worst part was the front of house manager standing in the corner complaint about customers. Just go back in the kitchen and do it. Anyhow we left before mains and just went to The Whitfield in Ace. If you've ever been to a major city, you'll be disappointed. If you are coming from Weirton for a special meal, you'll probably be impressed. read more

I really like this place for special occasions. I held a surprise 21st birthday brunch for my friend and everyone seemed to enjoy it. The staff were really nice too and gave us a free dessert with a candle! The lighting was amazing in the restaurant and the food was pretty good with a nice portion for an american brunch/bar place. read more

What an amazing interior! I love the design, materials, mirrors, and general feel of the place. Another plus (in my book) is the nice silverware and plates. I feel some places have amazing food and the place settings can hurt the overall experience. Right off the bat this place has a lot going for it. Then, add an amazingly friendly hostess, and waitress and things are even better! But I feel like that's where the experience stopped. Our Saturday brunch started with luke warm coffee. The waitress quickly replaced it with a fresh piping hot carafe! The cinnamon roll was HUGE!! It arrived in a cast iron pan that gave it a look of straight out of the oven. Imagine the sadness we had when it was only barely warm. And finally, the main dishes with omelettes and potatoes arrived. The potatoes were basically large fried versions of something you might find at an amusement park or a fast food place late at night. The omelettes were passable but overall another miss as well and very rich. It's very sad for me to write a negative review but the food part of the experience just wasn't good. If you have loads of money I'd say give it a try - maybe it'll be better for you and you can at least enjoy the ambiance and the very nice coffee cups But at the prices being charged (which isn't too much different than other similar places downtown) I'd say look at recent reviews for this place and maybe something has changed. If not, maybe venture somewhere else. read more

Greta venue, but terrible service. I have been to floor 2 on several occasions and every time the service is terrible. I understand the prices but it is way overpriced to the point I most likely won't be back. A group of us walked in and the hostess never offered to place our coats in cost room which was in use. The manager then moved out seats that the hostess set up. It is a nice place to hang and relax but the service is trash. read more

Absolutely wonderful service! Food was wonderful too. Melissa was the greatest. She took care of us so week- we came 2 nights in a row! So refreshing to get great food and outstanding service both times!! read more

Gorgeous spot to grab a drink. I love me a specialty cocktail and had a hard time choosing one. My husband got the Kai rise and I went with Lunch with Joe - just next time i would skip the smoked rosemary (just didn't appreciate that type of scent/taste) and the chickpea fricassée. The chickpeas were rich and creamy and the bread was delicious. The bartender and server were really nice and had great suggestions while we were going over the menu. Can't wait to come back and try other cocktails or maybe brunch. read more

Ugh! The service was great, from the hostess to the attentive waiter. Lunch with Joe cocktail was fun and unique - smoked rosemary. However, the reason I come to a restaurant is for the food and unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. Don't waste your time or money. We had the ribeye and it was supposed to be family style. I don't know how you can mess a steak up that bad...but Floor 2 did. Poor quality steak and the preparation was horrible. Served with potatoes (hardly any) and broccolini (one that was in pieces). Asked for more broccolini and was additionally charged. Felt too bad to say anything to our fabulous waiter. Will not be returning. read more
