Wendy helped me with all of the questions I had and was so prompt and kind. I will 100% use this venue again!

We ordered 100 servings of beef tips with gravy and mushrooms. The beef tips with gravy were very, very tender and extremely flavorful. They were my absolute favorite and our guests were raving about how tasty the dish was. We also ordered 100 servings of Parmesan crusted chicken. Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to try to Parmesan crusted chicken but some of our guests stated that they enjoyed that as well. They delivered the food at our request and set it up in our catering dishes. They do offer full service as well and supplies. They were extremely professional and we would highly recommend them for your corporate, wedding or special event needs. They will not disappoint.

The building is well kept, the staff are kind, and the food is absolutely delicious. If you plan to dine here, be sure to make a reservation on their website! When you are seated, you get to choose from a list of hot, cold, caffeinated and non-caffeinated tea. Your waitress will bring your table milk, sugar, and your own little tea pot with hot water that is the perfect size for two cups of tea. The set menu includes savory and sweet items. The first course items on the bottom plate are a cucumber sandwich, quiche, pesto artichoke pastry, and a chicken salad croissant with an almond crust. The middle layer is a plain scone which is paired with strawberry jam and a whipped cream. The top plate holds the dessert portion. This included a sweet pastry, chocolate mousse cup, and orange cranberry bread. The bread flavor changes throughout the year. The Johnston House also hosts events like bridal showers and baby showers. This is a venue where alcohol is not permitted, so it is perfect for a relaxed, intimate event. I can not wait to be back for my sisters baby shower in a couple months!

It is by reservation only, which is done online and you pay online ahead of time as well, which makes for enjoyable experience the day of, not worrying about the check, tip, etc. You get unlimited tea, and there are hot and iced varieties. I started with the mango passion fruit green tea and then finished the experience with the iced raspberry hibiscus -- you can switch it up as much as you want. The savories consisted of a red pepper quiche, spinach artichoke cups, cucumber Boursin sandwiches and almond chicken salad croissants. The standard tea includes one scone per person and I highly recommend ordering extra -- they're phenomenal and are served with strawberry jam and clotted cream. Our desserts were a raspberry lemon pound cake, chocolate and vanilla macarons and a vanilla custard in a pie crust cup with a fresh raspberry on top. Everything was amazing and they rotate menus seasonally. Children are permitted but it's the same menu and price for them, just FYI. I'll definitely return and recommend to others for special occasions or no occasion at all.

Went to a wedding here yesterday and the venue is absolutely gorgeous!…read more The wedding itself took place outside in the lower courtyard. It was nice that it was all contained and the amount of green made for a nice setting. Then we had a cocktail reception on the back deck which again was beautiful, however there was not enough food placed outside and the servers that came by served basic frozen food. After the cocktail hour we came inside to the atrium for dinner, and man was it beautiful, however the food took forever to be passed out, and the meal was small and not flavorful, it tasted once again like it was a frozen dish. After dinner we went out to the Pavillion for dancing, which had its own dance floor and was greatly designed again. Overall I would probably not have my wedding there, because I know how much they paid and while it was beautiful, everything else was subpar.

We were thrilled when they reopened. Our waitress was phenomenal and so very attentive and personable all evening. We were seated in a tucked away alcove that was simultaneously intimate/charming and somewhat off putting. The table was small and underneath some ceiling pipes next to the widows with a wooden artsy room screen to hide whatever door was behind it. The food was good although a bit overpriced compared to the food at other high end places in Pittsburgh. We started with the tuna tartare that was very tasty and the cold mushroom app that was just okay, nothing too special. We also tried the straight forward sherry bisque (a few crumbled crackers from our small bread plate helped give the bisque body and texture). The dinner rolls/crackers have been the source of countless bursts of laughter over the past week. They were comically small and you can't ask for more because they only bake enough for one per customer. The homemade applesauce accompaniment was really good. Seriously though, kick up the bread plate at the meal price point. Entrees we tried were the short rib and halibut. The short rib was nicely cooked and a big portion. The halibut was not seasoned much and the white beans underneath were a little too al dente. The pumpkin cheesecake was very delicious as were the espresso martini's. This is such a charming romantic place. Hoping they can bring their pricing back in line with the quality of food they are presenting.

I'm not sure if this is a corporate policy, but with this being flu season, I would think a they would take every and any step to keep not only their entire staff but their customers safe from being exposed. I have been a corporate manager in the same industry in the past and this type of management enrages me. I have also heard that are told if they are having mental or hormonal issues they should deal with them on their day off. Im not sure corporately who manages the managers but they really need to do a better job at appreciating their employees and customers and the city that has made them a possibility.

Robin at Big Catering helped me select menu items, understand quantities and prices, and confirm all details. I asked for the food to be delivered and set up (we did not need servers during the reception). The delivery arrived exactly on time, and setup was perfect. The guests enjoyed the sight and aroma of the beautiful buffet. The delicious selections encouraged people to sit and chat, and then wander back to the buffet for another helping. We received many compliments about the wonderful food. Everything was packaged sturdily. Our family was able to take very tasty leftovers home and enjoy them. I highly recommend Big Burrito for catering, and Alta Via for menu selections.
