Solve the age old question – without all the frustration – of “where do you want to go for dinner?” by closing your eyes and picking one of these waterfront restaurants in Pittsburgh. The best part about these eateries? Well, make that two best parts: They serve to-die for seafood, and they promise spectacular views of the river? Does it get any better than that?
Feel the golden summer sun on your skin when you dine outdoors at Redfin Blues, tucked against the Allegheny River. The popular seafood restaurant, which serves both lunch and dinner, boasts a generous menu. Kick off your meal with such delectable appetizers as jumbo lump crab cake, seared tuna, or peel and eat shrimp. Or, start with an entree. Crispy fried shrimp, grilled salmon, and fish tacos are some of the many choices.
Redfin Blues is located at 100 Waterfront Dr, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.
Treat yourself to a scrumptious seafood meal, for lunch or for dinner, at Mitchell's Fish Market. The riverfront restaurant offers a delectable menu with such popular seafood dishes as fresh oysters, New England clam chowder, and shrimp and crab linguine. And, pair your main entree with such creative sides as spring peas, loaded mashed redskins, or lobster mac and cheese. A raw bar is also available.
Mitchell’s Fish Market is located at 185 West Waterfront Dr., Homestead, PA 15120
Sweeping views of the downtown Pittsburgh skyline await at the Grand Concourse. Admire the views as you dine on some of the city's best seafood. Peruse the menu that features the catch of the day, such as rainbow trout, gulf snapper, and swordfish. Or, order one of the many entrees. Oven roasted lobster tails, jumbo shrimp scampi, and Alaskan king crab legs are among your choices.
The Grand Concourse is located at 100 W. Station Square Dr., Pittsburgh, PA 15219.
Also tucked in Station Square (like the Grand Concourse), the Gandy Dancer Saloon and Oyster Bar serves mouthwatering seafood meals for lunch and for dinner. Order from the raw bar, or have a sandwich. Or, perhaps a dish from the kettle - linguine with clam sauce or seafood steamer pot - will hit the spot?
Gandy Dancer Saloon is located at 100 W Station Square Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15219.
Feel as though you're on the ocean's shore when you dine at Joe's Crab Shack in Station Square. The seafood eatery boasts a generous menu. Love crabs? Then, opt for a crab bucket. Or, how about a sandwich like the crab cake, blackened shrimp mahi mahi, or classic po boy? Don't forget to pair your main dish with a delicious side, such as hush puppies, coleslaw, or sweet potato fries.
Joe’s Crab Shack is located at 226 West Station Square Dr., Pittsburgh, PA 15219.
Enjoy live entertainment, on scheduled days, at the Baja Bar & Grill in Fox Chapel. The vibrant waterfront restaurant offers an eclectic menu. But, of course, nothing quite compares to the seafood.
