You would never know this restaurant existed, tucked off of Rt 88, in Finleyville. Quite deceiving from road and outside, very small and beautiful inside. Cozy interior, and staff was amazing. Reservations are a must for lovely experience. I forgot to take pictures until main dishes were served. I thourougly enjoyed the Caesar salad as did my boyfriend, bread and I ordered the mushroom cavatelli which also was a large serving. Homemade pasta. My boyfriend had the shrimp fettuccine Alfredo, that he enjoyed. Our server Johnny was also very informative and helpful! We will definitely be back, it is expensive but well worth it. You'll be happy as well. Kudos! read more

BEST DINING EXPERIENCE IN PENNSYLVANIA! Food was SCRUMPTIOUS, service was beyond amazing. Noelle the server is gifted at making you feel like a member of the family. She really elevated our experience and made it even more special. From the delicious sun-dried tomatoes and freshly made bread to the warm chocolate chip muffins at the end of the meal, we were just delighted. As an adventurous eater, having options like wild boar and elk was exciting -- and the quality of the meat completely surpassed expectations. The restaurant was beautiful inside and had a classy atmosphere. Cannot recommend this place enough! read more

I loved my whole experience at Latitude 48. I went for my 50th birthday dinner and was completely blown away. Every detail was well thought out. Chef Robinson has a deft hand at creating the perfect bites of food. The staff was friendly and attentive. Just genuinely nice people. I've been to a lot of fine dining restaurants in my day but Latitude 48 is my now favorite! It's not stuffy and pretentious. It was cozy and accessible. I was made to feel welcome and appreciated. I had the steak tartar and lamb shank. Best I've ever eaten. My wife had the steak which melted in her mouth. If you haven't been, do yourself a favor and go. Don't walk, but run to the best dining experience you'll find anywhere! read more

Restaurant Review: A Hidden Gem Our initial impression of the lunch menu was that it seemed limited, but any doubts were quickly dispelled by the **superior quality of ingredients and flawless execution**. Each dish was a masterpiece, showcasing the chef's expertise and attention to detail. The lesson here? **Trust the chef**--even if the menu feels unfamiliar or pushes you slightly out of your comfort zone. Our waiter was an absolute delight, adding a personal touch to the meal by sharing the story of the owners' aviation background. The physical location is admittedly a bit **off the beaten path**, tucked away in a less-traveled area. However, every aspect of the experience--from the food to the service to the ambiance--was **nothing short of superior**. It's no exaggeration to say this is one of the best restaurants in Western PA. we've already decided to return for dinner, even though it's a 55 minute drive** for us. If you're looking for a dining experience that combines creativity, quality, and heart, latitude 48 is well worth the journey. Looking forward to the dinner menu **Rating: 10/10** **Highlights**: Exceptional service, chef's creativity, unique backstory, and a commitment to quality that shines in every detail. read more

It is so good to have fine dining and not have to drive into town . First time coming was to celebrate my son's engagement. Today was a cooking class and it was so fun . The service , food and staff are amazing. Romantic atmosphere. read more

Food and service were excellent. Enjoyed the whole experience tremendously. Big city dining without having to drive and park in the city. A great spot for a special night out - close to home. read more

I did not know of this place until a friend gave me a gift card! Reserved a late night table with the honey after work and proceeded to order the Elk for the protein and the pappardelle pasta as the carb. Bread basket: We requested toasted bread and they quickly accommodated with a light and crunchy sliced bread that was a perfect start with the creamy butter spread. Elk: The Elk came out exactly as ordered at medium temp and throughout the cut piece it was a consistent medium red color showing the evenly cooked nature. Coupled with the starch variety of varied potatoes and sauce, everything matched up well. A subtle bit of peppercorn on the edges and surprising not salty as I normally expected. Many steaks I order tend to be overly salty at some point on the ends but I did not experience this at all! Pasta: Pappardelle arrived between al dente' and soft with cooked capers and tomatoes. The sauce I felt could have used a good dash of garlic but still nice and slippery. It was a little harder to eat since the pasta was not cut down to smaller strips but not a big issue. Recommend. Dessert: In house made by the GM Mark, the cinnamon and raison bread pudding and the bourbon dulce de leche cream sealed the deal! Service: Mark and everyone provided great service and very enjoyable experience. They just opened about six months or so and especially during these difficult times, seem to get a decent following. Please help support these local business and keep them open so we can enjoy their wonderful hospitality. read more

Celebrated my birthday there. Everything was amazing from the food, service , atmosphere, even the music. Portions were perfect. My son had the bison and said it was the best steak he ever had...cooked to perfection. read more

My husband and I were here to celebrate our 14th first date anniversary, and the experience and food were incredible! I'd never been to a restaurant where they serve you a small scoop of sorbet to cleanse your palette before your main course before! The charcuterie board was fabulous, the Pineapple Upside Down cocktail was so sweet and delicious, the sea bass picatta was superb, and the blueberry lemon curd cheesecake was 100% made in house and so good! We'll definitely be making this a regular stop! Also the staff was very knowledgeable of all their dishes! read more

I have eaten there multiple times. Nice place to dine with friends. Great food. Great atmosphere. Service top notch. Pricey but worth it.

My husband and I had a phenomenal lunch today! We started off with delicious cocktails and ordered the Grilled Whole Wings appetizer. While waiting for the app, the chef brought out a "complimentary treat from the kitchen" of meatballs for us to enjoy while we waited. They were fantastic! The wings were also very good, cooked perfectly and great flavor. For entrees- he had the Mixed Grind Burger and I had the Truffle Mushroom Pasta. Both were 5/5! One of the best meals we've ever had. And on top of the great food, the entire staff was so kind. Both chefs, the GM and our waitress were all so welcoming! We will absolutely be back! read more

I was extremely disapointed to learn that Latitude 48's owners have let Chef Alex Fitz and Manager Lisa go. Alex and Lisa could not have done a more fantastic , professional job there creating an incredible atmosphere of high end culinary delights. We always feel like royalty when we would visit, which has been well over two dozen times. I have commented to many friends that the food is so good that it's "knee weakening," especially entrees with scallops. In my humble opinion, this was a very short-sighted move. Because of this move, I have to give Latitude a 1 rating. Otherwise, it's at 10!! Greg Banner, North Strabane Township read more

Nothing short of outstanding from beginning to end. The presentation is phenomenal, the meals are phenomenal, as with the soup and appetizers. We had the charcuterie board and lamb lollipops as appetizers. The charcuterie was flowing with variety from meats and cheeses to pickled onions, fruits, and sauces (oil, honey mustard & balsamic). Lamb lollipops were cooked to recommendation and were out of this world. Pheasant dumpling soup was good, perfect amount of flavor and not too thick. The entrees we had were the elk and the beef tenderloin with added on crab. 5 stars without a doubt. Bartender is knowledgeable, polite and checked on us. Waitress along with a training waitress were attentive, knowledgeable and went above and beyond. Chef was friendly and asked how our meals were, he's extremely talented. I cannot recommend this place enough. read more

Latitude 48 - Elk - New American Near Me - Finleyville, Pennsylvania

The first thing you need to know is to come hungry. You'll want to eat every last bite. You may even cry some tears of joy because it really it is THAT delicious. From the cocktails to the desserts, they take you on a flavor journey to pleasure town. My husband and I found ourselves on an impromptu date night and will be returning as soon as possible. The service was great and the passion and care of the culinary skills/art of the two chefs was top tier. 10/10 all around would recommend to you, a friend, and family for sure! read more

just had dinner tonight with friends. FOOD IS AMAZING, Service was great and I love the ambiance. CHEF Alix is so talented. WINE SELECTION IS GREAT. CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK. read more

Food cost doesn't justify the prices. While food quality is good the execution from the kitchen is awful. For my second visit I was again left terribly dissatisfied. Protiens either way over cooked or way undercooked. Our scallops were under the broiler at least 2 minutes too long and the lamb chops were at best 100* in the center when ordered medium rare. This place is such a let down. The service at the bar was good. Wine list is not good and that's being kind. I am not going back. On the bright side, I overheard one of the owners say, if we don't make it as a restaurant we will turn it into a strip joint. read more

This is our new favorite place and such an amazing surprise in a more rural area! We go to Europe and seek out Michelin restaurants- so our standards are quite high. Wonderful, well conceived menu, great service, in a lovely setting. read more

So happy this place reopened! I was here 3 times previously and the food has always been phenomenal, but I will say the new chef and staff are absolutely amazing! I met two of my friends here for dinner on a weeknight and were greeted as soon as we walked in. The server (I forget her name!!) was very pleasant and helped us with our drink choices. I asked if they had espresso martinis and she said no problem she could make it. Literally the best espresso martini! We split the crab prawns and lamb lollipops for our appetizers. My one friend is gluten and dairy free and the chef was very accommodating. He came to our table and went over the food we were considering and explained how he could make it gluten or dairy free for her. They even brought out gf bread and an oil dip for my friend while myself and other friend had the rolls and whipped butter. For our entrees we had the horseradish encrusted salmon, sea bass, and elk chops. They were all perfectly cooked and nice large portions. The chef came out and let us know all of the desserts he had that were GF and DF. We had the pistachio tiramisu and flourless chocolate cake. A must try!! Chef and staff were all just very accommodating and you could tell they love what they do. We had a great night and will absolutely be returning. read more

Date Night with the Hubby and this place did not disappoint - in fact - it was a really wonderful experience. FOOD: (5/5) SEARED SCALLOPS: Cooked perfectly and paired very well with the salad garnish on top CHILEAN SEA BASS: Delectable and possibly the best piece of fish i've eaten. the beurre blanc was amazing. i could have this every single time - over and over. ANTELOPE RIB CHOP: hubby had this and it was cooked to perfection. the pairing with fingerling potatoes and cabbage complemented the rich rib chop FOUR BERRY SORBET: we received a nice sample of this after the appetizer to cleanse our palate. it was refreshing and really nice touch CHOCOLATE FUDGE ICE CREAM: soooo rich and delightful. SERVICE: 5/5 Very professional and couldn't ask for better service. the warmed towels infused with lavender at the end were an amazing touch. Will definitely be returning again. Nice hidden gem. read more

Great food and employees are great. Must try if you live close by! Great happy hour starting at 4 and must try the ostrich!

Best fine dining in the area! The atmosphere is wonderful. And there are always new surprise dishes and drinks to try.

Amazing food, great service. Gem in the south hills. Lisa was amazing behind the bar.

First time experience at Latitude 48. Food was great, but management didn't seem to care about some of our recommendations / concerns that we observed. When making note to owner about servers masks not fitting properly, and hence them being fully exposed while standing right over us, the owner replied " well, we will see what happens with that after the election." With a menu that runs about 100 / person, owners should be more aware of customer concerns. This restaurant may get the first time curious customer, but a business runs on return customers. We will not be one of them. read more

Wow!! Amazing food and service!! And we will go again soon. This restaurant just opened recently but feels like such a professional fine tuned atmosphere. None of the typical new restaurant mishaps. We met one of the owners and he was so nice, even sent over a complimentary new cocktail the mixologist was working on. The wait staff was helpful in making dinner selections, they have a wyagu steak on the menu for $149 I believe. We went with crabcake dinner for me (which was the biggest crab cake I have ever seen). My husband got the veal chop and he said it was delicious. A few drinks for us and appetizers were lamb lollipops and scallops. All of our food was just incredible. The seafood risotto is unbelievable and I would suggest as a side dish. We went on a Saturday night and had a reservation which I would recommend for sure. This restaurant is located in Finleyville which is kind of off the beaten path. For us it was a 50 minute drive but well worth it. We will be back! read more

Latitude 48 - Crabcake, seafood risotto and brussel sprouts - New American Near Me - Finleyville, Pennsylvania

My review is mixed because of a bad experience last night. Hopefully, you won't have the same thing happen to you. This place has only been open a short while and this was my second time. Obviously the first visit was wonderful, hence the return a week later. Food both times was incredible. Can't say enough about it all from appetizers to wine list to each entree. Yum! The building was recently reinvented from a dive bar to a cute, trendy, upscale restaurant. It is small with only maybe a dozen tables. So, reservations are strongly encouraged. The service from the bread basket to sorbet between courses to the warm lavender towel at the end of the meal was spectacular. It is definitely perfect for a date night or special celebration and worth the trip for out of towners. With a menu including elk and a three bone veal chop, you will be impressed. Here's my problem, and why the 3 stars this time. Last night there was a party of 8 who were completely obnoxiously rude. They were so loud that it was near impossible to have a conversation with the person sitting right next to me. Their noise level and inappropriateness warranted mention by both our waitress and a manager who asked if we were "okay" with the distraction. We explained that we really weren't but they did nothing about the unruly guests. If they wanted to act like that they should have gone to someone's house or rented out the place as a private party. I would have expected management to ask them to leave. We ended up leaving as they were doing shots at the bar and playing loud music. Not exactly the scene you expect when you are spending $100/person for an elegant evening out. read more

Agree with most of the 3 star reviews. As a party of 4 we visited for the first time. As everyone had said the food, while pricey, it is excellent. However, with that price you expect a certain atmosphere that is definitely not present. I would describe this as fine dining with a bar atmosphere. With a COVID 50% occupancy, it was very loud and difficult to hear, can't imagine what it will be when we are back to normal. But my reason for the 3 stars.. The price of the wine list. There is no excuse to charge 3 to 4 times the retail price for a bottle of wine. For that reason alone we won't be back. read more

2nd visit tonight and not disappointed either. Impeccable service awesome food great wines and awesome desserts... Try the wagyu it's expensive but worth it. Appetizers are bomb salads are too and don't miss the bread pudding. Can't say enough about the service and servers... read more

Terrible Experience at this place. We went in for lunch and it was empty. Food was slow to come out, dry and cold. The staff was incredibly rude and if you're looking for a good lunch spot, keep driving...It is overpriced and uncomfortable to be there around such a rude and careless staff. read more

This place definitely deserves a 5 star. My girlfriend I just ate here tonight for the first time. We were blown away by the entire experience. The service is amazing, well knowledge waitress, great atmosphere and the food was so great. No complaints and well balanced. The setting inside was cozy and welcoming. read more

I'd heard a lot of positive things about this new restaurant so we wanted to check it out. It was not a busy night in the restaurant. Overall, all of the appetizers and entrees were very good; however, they were not worth the cost. The prices are extremely inflated. When you go to a restaurant with high prices you expect exceptional service, that was not what we experienced. We had to continuously ask for refills on our water and drinks as the server was not paying attention. The server also didn't have enough knowledge about the items on the menu. Not sure we will return. read more

Last night was the second time we visited this place and we only did so because our friends wanted to try it. The first time I called to make a reservation for the next day and was basically laughed at. So we then made reservations for the week after and when we went the restaurant was barely half full. The food was good but nothing outstanding considering the prices. For our second visit last night we were running late so I called the restaurant to notify we were going to be 15 minutes late and got an attitude on the phone. My boyfriend and our friends all ordered the most expensive meat on the menu. All entrées come with two sides of your choice. I really wanted to try the pasta but also wanted the sea bass . I asked the waitress if it was possible to have the Seabass with a side of their so called "homemade" pasta. She said she'd have to check and when she came back she said : so you want the Seabass and just a little bit of the pasta and that's it! that's your side dish! And she made a hand movement to basically show me that's all you're getting. Extremely rude we were all taken aback. When the food came it was a piece of Seabass and a small bowl of plain dry pasta with a piece of butter on top ... they didn't even put the sauce on. Really!!?? You really thought I wanted to spend $46 on a piece of fish and receive plain dry pasta with butter as my side dish?? We spent about $600 on this meal! My friends enjoyed their dinner otherwise but when you spend $180 on a steak that is the least to be expected. with a service that is unprecedentedly terrible I have no doubt this place will not last. We will never waste our money on this place again! read more

The place is nice. The food is good. The price is very high. The noise is loud. The service is terrible. Waitress was the worst I've seen.

Fantastic dining experience that pays attention to every detail. We have visited the restaurant twice since it's opening a few weeks ago. The wine list is very nice and offers a wide variety to choose from. We have tried the Brussels sprouts, crab, lamb lollipops, sea scallops, antelope and greens and beans soup. Everything is amazing. My favorite continues to be the lamb lollipops-the flavour is unique and delicious. Highly recommend this new restaurant! read more
