Eddie Merlot’s Prime Aged Beef and Seafood Pittsburgh

We recommend the New Orleans mixed grill with filet mignon, blackened shrimp, and andouille sausage served with mashed potatoes. If you really want to splurge, they offer a Wagyu beef filet mignon with one of the highest marbling ratings in the world!
Morton’s The Steakhouse
625 Liberty Ave Suite 180, Pittsburgh, PA 15222
Phone: (412) 261-7141
Visit Website
While Morton’s Steakhouse may be one of the most well-known steakhouses in the U.S., its origins are as humble and wholesome as the American dream. Originally a burger joint started by a restaurateur and his chef, Morton’s soon expanded its menu and its locations to include over 65 acclaimed fine-dining steakhouses.
You can still get the burger that started it all from the bar menu with an order of thick-cut onion rings with truffle dipping sauce. However, if you’re looking for a fancy steak dinner, try the filet mignon accompanied by two bacon-wrapped sea scallops.
Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse
247 N Shore Dr, Pittsburgh, PA 15212
Phone: (412) 222-4014
Visit Website
Located along Pittsburgh’s famous North Shore area of downtown, Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse is a giant restaurant that accommodates large parties of up to 125 guests while also offering special intimate dining experiences families and couples look for in a prime steak house.
The menu is as vast as the restaurant space, but what we like most about it is how customizable it is. You can complement your steaks and chops with your choice of sauce and toppings from four different sauces and three decadent toppings. We recommend the double-cut lamb chops with roasted shallot cabernet sauce.
Ruth’s Chris Steak House

Located in the highly visited PPG Place building in front of the famed dancing water fountain or city-wide central ice-skating rink depending on the time of year, Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse dining room is the epitome of elegance and class, catering to business dinners, romantic dining experiences, or happy hour get-togethers.
The menu is as classic as they come, with Ribeye, filet, and NY strip steak as the star of the show, and you choose the toppings or complements of shrimp, lobster tail, crab cake, and bearnaise, or bleu cheese and roasted garlic crust. Of course, you can always opt for the seafood options, our favorites being the lobster mac and cheese and the blue crab cakes.
Fogo de Chao Brazilian Steakhouse

Their menu has a wide variety of fish and shellfish with an even more diverse array of cooking styles and featured cuisines. For example, you can order a British-style fish and chips basket, a classic Italian shrimp scampi over fresh linguini, or a Hawaiian bigeye ahi tuna seared rare with sesame cucumber salad and sticky rice. If you’d rather meat, we recommend the bourbon barbecue glazed pork chop with grilled corn and mashed potatoes.

Combining traditional Brazilian ChurrascarÃa with friendly Texas hospitality, Texas de Brazil is the ultimate cultural fusion cookout. Using prime cuts of beef and lamb, a Brazilian churrasco involves slow-roasting meat over an open fire and slicing meat directly off the roasting spit.
A Churrascaria is a unique experience because the menu is set. There are multiple meat offerings sliced table-side by staff at your request. The waitstaff is constantly circulating with different cuts which they will slice onto your plate. They use a red-light/green-light card system wherein the customer indicates that they would like more meat with a green card, flipping it over to red when they are full.
There is a delicious salad bar and complimentary mashed potatoes, cheese bread, and fried plantains.
Gaucho Parrilla Argentina
146 6th St, Pittsburgh, PA 15222
Phone: (412) 709-6622
Visit Website
Parrilla Argentina (@eat_gaucho)The Gaucho is Argentina’s version of a cowboy and one of the benchmark cultural protagonists of Argentinian folklore. The only other aspect of their culture they treasure more than the gaucho is the parilla or grill. Argentinian meat is world-renowned, and their delicious grilling method is a steadfast centuries-old tradition you will love as much as they do.
Gaucho Parilla Argentina is in Pittsburgh’s cultural district, with an extensive wine menu and Argentinian cocktail offerings for a lively happy hour. Their grilled meat offerings include five different beef cuts as well as chorizo and grilled chicken.
Gaucho’s most popular beef offering is the Bife de Caucho or ribeye steak. We recommend trying the Asado Platter to taste a cut of each steak served with the traditional and delicious chimichurri sauce.
Eddie V’s Prime Seafood
501 Grant St Suite 100, Pittsburgh, PA 15219
Phone: (412) 391-1714
Visit Website
You can find Eddie V’s Prime Seafood in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh, offering the best quality seafood and steak to savor in a beautifully designed dining room in the Union Trust Building.
They strive-and succeed- for the most elegant fine-dining experience with impeccable plating, the freshest seafood and steak offerings, and a lively lounge that often features live jazz music.
Since they specialize in seafood, we recommend trying a seafood dish as a main dish, or at least as an appetizer. Whether as an appetizer or a main dish, the jumbo lump crab-cakes at Eddie V’s are incredible. If you want the best of surf and turf, try the bacon-wrapped filets with king crab or the filet mignon with South African lobster tail.
The Capital Grille
301 Fifth Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15222
Phone: (412) 338-9100
Visit Website
The Capital Grille offers a very high-end, classic steakhouse menu and atmosphere, creating a world-class dining experience from the food to the extravagant architectural finishes. The cuts of steak offered at The Capital Grille are a cut above the rest due to an on-site dry-aging process in which meat sits for 18-24 days to maximize flavor and tenderness.
If you want the best-tasting steak, we must direct you to the Chef’s suggestions, namely, the porcini rubbed bone-in ribeye with 15-year aged balsamic, the coffee-rubbed Kona crusted dry-aged NY strip, and the seared tenderloin with butter-poached lobster tails.
Mallorca Restaurant
2228 E Carson St, Pittsburgh, PA 15203
Phone: (412) 488-1818
Visit Website
Named for the paradisiacal Spanish Mediterranean island, Mallorca Restaurant is a southside neighborhood favorite and a Pittsburgh staple with more than 27 years in business. True to their name, they offer Spanish cuisine that is beautifully plated to enjoy in their massive high-ceilinged and skylit dining room or ample outdoor patio.
While “tapas” may come to mind when considering a Spanish restaurant, Mallorca delivers a vast menu that showcases a uniquely Spanish take on meat and seafood.
Their signature steak dishes are the Delmonico steak with gorgonzola cheese in a cremini mushroom sauce and the filet mignon a la Portuguese, an 8 oz. filet served with Spanish ham and a fried egg. Both are deliciously indulgent.
COBRA
4305 Main St, Pittsburgh, PA 15224
Phone: (412) 682-2608
Visit Website
COBRA is a Karaoke bar and Korean Barbecue restaurant with a tasty menu filled with the finest local and imported cuts grilled and sauced to perfection.
Karaoke is a deeply rooted Korean and Japanese tradition that is a great way to break the ice with business associates or cut loose with friends. However, if you want to skip the singing, dinner-only reservations are available.
The menu at COBRA is spectacular, offering Certified A5 Wagyu beef or prime American cuts for barbecue items including ribeye, chuck eye, short ribs, petit filets, tongue, bulgogi. We’d recommend a mixed grill to get a taste of all cuts and the elaborate and interesting sides. Try the Cobra Omakase II plate.
The Grandview Saloon
1212 Grandview Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15211
Phone: (412) 431-1400
Visit Website
Located in Pittsburgh’s most visited and picturesque neighborhood of Mt. Washington, The Grandview Saloon offers an authentically Pittsburgh dining experience, with outdoor patios and rooftop seating that offer excellent views of the Pittsburgh skyline and historical landmarks such as Heinz Field and the Point.
Their menu is one of the most extensive menus on our list, with delicious meat, poultry, and seafood dishes. You’ll want to come back various times to try all the amazing menu items, but if we had to choose, we’d recommend the Grandview Cheesesteak sandwich mane with prime sirloin or the Lamb Porterhouse with Mediterranean seasoning and fresh lemon.
Sullivan’s Steakhouse
Lower Lobby, 600 Grant St, Pittsburgh, PA 15219
