Pittsburgh Rare   

fabulous food , slow service but the server and manager treated us well

I workd as the Executive Level Concierge for over 3 years at what used to be the Hilton Pittsburgh. I have eaten at many of Pittsburgh's finest restaurants and the seakhouses are my favorites, I love Mortons and was invited there alot, nothing beats their quality and service, everything about Ruth's Chris hails in comparison, If it wasn't for their name they would be out of buisness by now, in Pittsburgh. There is however a restaurant, almost hidden in the Sheraton hotel in Station Square called Pittsburgh Rare and they do a steak unlike anything I have ever had. The style, like the restaurant, is called Pittsburg rare style and it is done by charring the steak on both sired in a red-hot cast iron skillet then rubbing it in butter leaving it bloddy in the center with a delicious crust on the outside. Anyone who loves steak an is visiting Pittsburgh I would recomend this as a must visit steakhouse. Please don't waste your time with the Ruth's Chris, its overcrowded, overlighted, and the service sucks. If you want to be treated like a VIP go to Mortons, but if you want the best steak that I personally can ever recall having then please try Pittsburgh Rare in Station Square. You will remember the experience and recomend it to others, I promise you.

The signature steak is orgasmic and overshadows any lack in service or ambiance which in my opinion were adequate. As far as the price goes.... You get what you pay for. My only complaint is no expresso machine.

best steak in pittsburgh. service was above average. highly recommended
