The service was excellent and very attentive. Appetizer was very good. The chicken was undercooked along with the Filet Mignon. Spent over six hundred dollars for sub par food. Very disappointed. I do not recommend. read more

Still haven't heard back about the server ringing up my check wrong, from anyone other than the robo response on here. I'm starting to think they're sending my refund by carrier pigeon. Or maybe smoke signals? Who knows! At this point, I'll probably have to go back in person; because nothing says "excellent customer service" like a scavenger hunt to find someone who cares. Can't wait to awkwardly explain it all again while pretending this is totally normal. Cheers! read more

Fantastic Sunday Brunch!!! So much food! Beautiful presentation. Great flavor! Many options! It was cold inside of the restaurant which made us uncomfortable. We needed a warm beverage. Our server was attentive. Better than Fogo de Chao and a much better value. read more

Coolest building in Pittsburgh, worth a trip just to see inside. Food was so so, shrimp chewy and not good. Snapper was average.

Waitress was great. Food to table was almost too fast. Fish was a little overdone. Bar service at the Gandy Dancer was abysmal both pre a post dinner. Tenders were pleasant but unattending. read more

I took my mother here for her birthday on 10/13 for brunch and we thought the food was great. This was our first time there and we were given mixed reviews from others. There are different stations of food and my favorite was the waffle station. The place is absolutely beautiful and the staff were nice and attentive. read more

The Grand Concourse serves a nice lunch at reasonable prices. We dined in their river side dining room. It looks like it might have been an old train platform that's now enclosed. It's possible, as the entire restaurant is housed in Pittsburgh's former train station. We were a party of three and all of our meals were excellent, and our check came to $64 total. Pretty good! We ordered the steak wedge salad, the fish and chips, and the grilled fish tacos. Our portions were just perfect! A basket of warm poppyseed rolls were delivered to the table, and they were accompanied by whipped butter and a whipped salmon spread. The Grand Concourse also offers a fun cocktail and mocktail menu if you'd like to enjoy a drink. I've had some of them on previous visits, and thoroughly enjoyed them. As we were dining for lunch, we felt appropriately dressed in our nice casual summer attire. Service was excellent too! The Grand Concourse is a Pittsburgh gem! read more

The atmosphere at this fine restaurant was luxurious with high ceilings and lots of wood used in the era. It was once a large rail station. The menu contained a continental cuisine with an array of special spices, marinated meats and seafood. The "sesame crusted ahi tuna" caught my eye and was sumptuous. Crab cakes and shrimp were chosen by others. Neil was our waiter and told stories about the Pittsburgh area and described the entries with clarity and humor! The service he provided was complete and timely! We will return soon on our next trip from Cleveland. Enjoy the Grand Concourse anytime and for special occasions! read more

Since I was here 20 years ago, the place has gone downhill. It seems old and worn out. The food was ordinary and some overcooked. The service was excellent. Our server was cheerful and the best part of the experience. I had clam chowder that had an unusual almost smoky taste. The Caesar's salad was good. Right amount of dressing and anchovies. My wife had coconut shrimp that was overcooked and dry. I had pasta with shrimp and artichokes. There were 4 shrimp but a lot of artichokes. The sauce was watery and a lot ended up at the bottom of the dish. The portions were adequate and the prices were fair. They didn't have valet parking on Monday and parking was on the next block. In summary, better to walk through the place and look at it's former grandeur, but go eat somewhere else. Sorry to report. read more

Our family came for Sunday brunch and we were seated 15 minutes late. Charae was a great server and the food was and is always great. Never let down at the Grand Concourse! read more

I'll start with the one downside. Service was slow and lacked any sort of personal touch. They might have been understaffed... That said, the building is awe inspiring, historic and simply amazing. Among our group, we enjoyed the butternut squash soup, kale/arugula salad, tuna poke, New England sandwich l, Martha Vineyard salad, fish n chips and ravioli -- and we all found them to be incredibly tasty. It's a bit pricey but given the quality of the food and the grandiose environment, that was to be expected. With improved service, this is 5 stars. read more

Drinks are great. Food is okay. Building is beautiful, historical. Generally service is good- always friendly.

Everything was absolutely delicious. We had the calamari as our appetizer (recommended by our server Jesse) and it was absolutely to die for!!! Every entree we got was so delicious. I absolutely recommend the tortellini and the shrimp scampi. Our server Jesse was wonderful. So attentive and took our photos on the steps at the end. The female bartender with long brown hair was also brilliant. I absolutely recommend this place for any celebratory dinners or special occasions. Ask for Jesse! read more

Although most of my table enjoyed our food, it took nearly 45 minutes to get... Not only this, but one individual at my table ordered a steak salad, only to find four measly chunks of steak in the entire thing... our server was understanding and apologetic, but unfortunately, when my table mate was told half of the cost would be comped, that wasn't the case... The rest of us enjoyed our meals, but the service was definitely a letdown. Beautiful building, but service and quality control need to be monitored read more

Jennifer was an absolute gem. The food was top notch and the table side drink was a cool experience. Service was speedy and she was very attentive. Jennifer thanks for making our first (and not last) dinner here exceptional read more

I liked this place very much. Its kind of the more logical option if you dont need to go to Altius esp. with their limited menu and hard to get reservations. Same view, and IMO better if you sit out back - see photos. I liked my meal very much but was little sad when the bananas foster creme brulee was not up to my desire. Id rather have bananas foster and not creme brulee. The staff was nice and my favorite two views were in front of me. read more

The worst restaurant experience I have ever had, and I dined in more than 35 countries. First, they looked extremely annoyed and were rude because we had a baby in a stroller/carseat with us. One waiter took us to the busy part of the restaurant, I had the carseat in my hand, and the table wasn't ready yet. I put the carseat down next to the table to situate the chairs before I put the carseat up. Another waiter came up and said "I would never put my baby on the ground", I was so shocked at the uncalled for commentary and rudeness (I guess she was making a dig at the original waiter not having the table ready but it was an insult to me as a new mom more than him). The new waiter also proceeded to tell several times how much the bill was in front or my guests! Knowing full well I was covering the bill!!! The food came with a piece of rubber in it and when called the waiter asked "we can give you a refund" instead of offering to change the dish right away. I had to tell him "I want a new plate"... manager never came. They were all upset about being there and the whole experience was disappointing and absolutely unnecessary. read more

I hope my account exists just to boost this place. Best steakhouse in dt Pitt and it's not close. They do everything well and some things exceptionally. Highly recommend eating steak of any variety. Cocktails don't miss either. Service is always professional and the views are truly hard to top. read more

Just finished dinner at the grand course. Not busy but dinner still took forever. The pasta dishes were cold but ate them anyway because they took forever to come.

Worst Thanksgiving dinner I've ever had. Still had to do the work of cooking everything, but nothing was good. The cold salad and warm vegetable side were just covered in Italian dressing. The cornbread dressing was floating in oil. Even the pies were gross. read more

Our recent family celebration at the Grand Concourse was marred by subpar service. Despite the delicious food, the evening began poorly with the table being set for the wrong number of guests. The server corrected the setting but failed to remove the extra chair, creating unnecessary congestion. Furthermore, one of our drinks was initially forgotten and had to be requested again. The service continued to falter when our main courses arrived shortly after our salads, despite a significant wait between ordering. This resulted in a cramped table and an unpleasant dining experience. To add insult to injury, my father was served the wrong meal - prime rib instead of the steak he ordered. Despite his insistence, the server initially insisted he had ordered the prime rib. After a lengthy wait, the correct steak arrived, but unfortunately, it was not cooked to his preference. While mistakes can happen, we were deeply disappointed by the lack of apology or acknowledgment from the server. At a restaurant of this caliber, we expect both excellent food and impeccable service. We were unable to speak with a manager during our meal, so I am posting this review in the hopes that this feedback can be used to improve the service at the Grand Concourse. At a restaurant we that is considered fine dining, you expect expectional service or at least acknowledgement of mistakes. read more

We had a reservation here for Sunday brunch and it took about 20 minutes after the reservation to be seated so that was disappointing. However, our waitress was attentive though for how busy it was. The overall Sunday Brunch selection was decent. There was a bunch of hot breakfast selections, a few meat stations, a delicious pasta station, a chocolate fountain and other desserts. The food was pretty average, I thought that the pasta station was the highlight. The space itself is really beautiful and we sat towards the back with views of the river, bridges and city. One thing I would recommend would to be to have labels at the dessert station. There were a bunch of items on one table that didn't specify what was what/any allergies. read more

I'm very disappointed in the level of customer service that I received. I have a medical procedure that prohibits my eating. I called this establishment to ask it they would make an accommodation for me so that I would not miss my friends' birthday party. The first young lady did not seem to understand what I was asking; I asked to speak with a manager, held for 10 minutes and disconnected the call. I have now called four times; because calls 2 and 3 were "put on hold". But were actually hung up. Hold time now is now 20 minutes. All I wanted was to ask a question. Now it's just the principal of the matter. This is a iconic establishment in the Pittsburgh area. And I'm so disappointed that they have little to no respect for their patrons. read more

We came for lunch on Saturday, and loved it! The building is just breathtaking. We were seated with a view of downtown. I would love to sit inside next time to admire the architecture. I got the seafood roll, which had shrimp, crab and lobster on it. It was quite yummy! I would get it again. I also tried the Peach Palmer mocktail. It was a bit underwhelming, and tasted like a Snapple. Overall we had a great experience. The staff were friendly and the service was prompt. The prices were very reasonable for lunch. We ended up paying about $25 per person. I would love to come back and try some of their other items! Making a reservation ahead of time is a must. read more

I really wanted to love this place. I have fond memories of my mother taking me here for a special treat when I was a child. The place is simply gorgeous, whether you sit in the main dining area of the old train station or you sit in the side room with an incredible view of the city. It's a great place to take visitors to show off our city. I had high hopes and I was very optimistic as we dug into our calamari appetizer. It did not disappoint. The calamari was nice and tender and the Napa slaw was a really nice touch. Their bread is always tasty. They used to serve a fresh garlic roll which I remember from my youth but they have since changed to a sourdough, which was almost as good. Next I got the Martha's Vineyard salad, another classic from their menu of years past. Just as I remembered. Unfortunately, that's where the wheels fell off a bit. Not more than 30 seconds after they served me my salad, they gave us our main course. That's a pet peeve of mine and something I'd expect at a local diner, not the Grand Concourse. Maybe they should have held our dinners a little longer because my daughter's smoked mozzarella ravioli was delivered ice cold in the middle. They were very likely frozen and reheated. So now we have me, trying to scarf down my salad so my main course doesn't get cold, my one daughter nibbling on her Cajun chicken tortellini, trying to stretch her meal while my other daughter waits for the kitchen to reheat her meal. I suppose we could have lived with that little juggling act if the meals were good, but unfortunately they were mediocre at best. I got the shrimp and crab bucatini. The noodle came with a red pepper cream sauce - the same exact sauce as my daughter's ravioli. Then they added some spinach, a few whole tomatoes and slapped a dollop of crab on top. Then they put deep fried shrimp on top of everything, completely separate from the pasta. It just made no sense. Nothing went together. And to use the same sauce as another dish? Humor us and at least make some sort of effort to conceal that fact. The other dishes were equally average. My own homemade Cajun chicken pasta recipe is better than what my daughter got and costs a whole lot less. To cap off the evening, while we were eating our main course, the waitress asked if we wanted more bread to which we replied "yes". Fifteen minutes later, after we were done with our meals and ready for the check, the bread was delivered to us. It was just that kind of night. read more

We stopped here for a Saturday late dinner while in town. I have looked over at this area at night while driving through or taking Ubers etc and never put two and two together that there was restaurants here. We had a reservation for 8:45 and upon checking in, waited another 5min just to be sat. Where the hostess nest is is pretty disconnected from the dining area so if the sentry isn't at their post, you may be waiting awhile. We were sat on the waterfront side, and ordered a couple of drinks. Our waiter was having a tough night, and couldn't seem to get the smoker device to work on my $15 mixed cocktail. For an appetizer we ordered a caprese salad- which came with breadsticks - something that was new to me. The lack of balsamic on this kind of took it down a peg- though it was good. For an entree I went with the filet - which was very good (not medium as I ordered) and came with mashed potatoes and asparagus. For dessert - I ordered the chocolate molten something or other. Very good, and filled me to the brim. read more

Once again, Grand Concourse falls into the category of "great idea, poor execution". The concept of turning an old train concourse into a restaurant gives an opportunity for great ambiance that is squandered. The main dining room is beautiful, but our table was pushed into a corner behind a curtain because the restaurant was hosting a private event at the same time as our dinner. Food was very hit & miss. My butternut squash soup was delicious, flavorful, creamy, & a great start to the meal. My entree (parmesan snapper & shrimp), however, was lacking innovation or flavor & the "side" of three skinny asparagus that it was served with was kind of ridiculous. Regarding drinks, Grand Concourse has a relatively large cocktail & wine list, however they were out of at least half of the table's orders (and we weren't told that until the waitress returned long after taking our drink orders and only returned with some of them). Service in general is where this place really falls apart. For the price, I expect good service. Instead, food comes out extremely slow (over an hour after ordering), several drink orders came wrong (people got beer when they ordered cocktails & red wine when they ordered white - and the waitress genuinely thought that a viognier was a red wine), & we sat with dirty plates in front of us for a long time after finishing eating. In general, this place is a great concept that needs major reworking to be worth the prices. There are much better options around the city. Food: B- Drinks: B- Service: D+ Ambiance: C+ read more

A unique and memorable spot to celebrate your special occasion. We came here for New Year's Eve & it was a magical experience--everything was beautifully decorated. The service was incredible as well. We ordered the Prime Rib & a pasta dish and everything was tasty and delicious. Anywhere you sit will be an memorable experience--great views of the city & rivers. I will definitely be returning & raving about this old historic station to my friends and family. I can totally envision having more special events here. read more

The service was terrible, food is overpriced, the management team were rude. I don't recommend any one dine there.

Young man at the carving station was eating with gloves on and went back to carving then started sweeping the floor and keep the same gloves on when he started carving again. found nothing worth $45. Service was very slow even with not many people eating. Stopped by the restroom to wash my hands before eating and restrooms looked a mess with paper towels covering the floor. read more

I had high hopes for this restaurant with "Grand" in its name. I was here for dinner and the Sunday brunch. Dinner: waitress forgot to put in a big appetizer so half the table ate while the other half had to watch. When the main dishes arrived the servers just tossed the plates at us. The food was OK, not great. The osso buco was under seasoned and tough. It was presented in an unpleasing to the eye. Sea bass was good, so was the bread. Brunch: Roast beef was perfect if you timed it right. It could be medium rare, or well done. They had overcooked peal and eat shrimp, pasta salads, smoked salmon, fried chicken. Freshly made omelets, the veggie one was too runny. The green clam pasta sauce was runny too, salty and very garlicky. The freshly made donuts is a pass too. Service was attentive, and they earned their tip. Overall it was expensive $45/person and you have to force yourself to over eat to make it worthwhile. read more

My recent visit to the Grand Concourse in Pittsburgh was nothing short of spectacular. This iconic restaurant, housed in a historic train station built in 1901, exudes elegance and charm, making it the perfect destination for a memorable dining experience. The Grand Concourse is not only a feast for the palate but also a visual delight, with its beautifully preserved architecture and rich history. I had the pleasure of dining at the Grand Concourse last Sunday for their famous brunch buffet. It's served 10AM to 3PM when lucky guests can indulge in an array of delicious dishes that cater to all tastes, including seafood, meat, vegetarian options, and delectable desserts. There were so many surprises as I ventured from room to room with more food offerings that exceeded my expectations! My visit to the Grand Concourse was particularly special because I was celebrating my son's birthday with my daughter, son-in-law, and a close friend. The ambiance of the restaurant truly enhanced our celebration, and we were all impressed with the attentive service and exquisite presentation of each dish. One of the standouts for me was the made-to-order omelet station, where the chef created a mouthwatering omelet filled with fresh ingredients and flavors that danced on my taste buds. There's to many individual dishes to mention but there's a cutting station with prime rib, ham, and Turkey that were all quite good, peel & eat shrimp, sauteed mussels, lox, a long buffet filled with eggs, sausage, bacon, etc. but I was surprised by the biscuits and sausage gravy that was spot on for a destination so far north :-) The service was most excellent with friendly, welcoming, and professional folks at every turn. The Grand Concourse is a Pittsburgh landmark that has received numerous accolades, including the Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence and the Open Table Diner's Choice Award for Best Ambiance. It's easy to understand why this restaurant is so highly regarded when you consider the unique combination of history, elegance, and culinary excellence that it offers. Bottom line: Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply looking to treat yourself to a memorable meal, and see for yourself, why Pittsburgh Magazine has consistently awarded them the title of "Best Brunch in Pittsburgh." Highly Recommended!!!!!

First off, this place is stunning. I love the details and the historical touches. We started with the almond crusted baked Brie. Greta taste with the topping on the cheese. Loved it. I ordered the scallops with dynamite topping and hubby ordered the mahi mahi with the dynamite topping. Both our entrees were excellent. Sides were just ok but how great can you really make mashed potatoes and asparagus. Dessert we shared the bananas foster crème brûlée.
