Two Pittsburgh Restaurants Rated Among Nation's Most Romantic

PITTSBURGH, PA - Just in time for Valentine’s Day, two Pittsburgh restaurants rave been ranked among the nation’s most romantic this year.

OpenTable, a free online reservation tool, released its list of the 100 most romantic restaurants last week. The list, which includes restaurants in 33 states, was compiled based on more than 12 million verified diner reviews of more than 28,000 restaurants.

Valentine's Day is "the most popular day for dining out," according to OpenTable, so you may consider making a reservation — if you still can - at the two Pittsburgh restaurants that made the list. Here they are, along with their website blurbs:

• Altius – Mt. Washington

“Your first visit may be for the view, but you will return again and again to enjoy one of Pittsburgh's best premiere fine dining experiences. With modern surroundings, higher hospitality and an organic and sustainable wine menu, every part of your experience has been thought of and designed with care."

• Monterey Bay Fish Grotto – Mt. Washington

"Monterey Bay Fish Grotto's fish is fresh and flown in from a number of locations on the East Coast, West Coast and Hawaiian Islands. For this reason, we are the region's premier fresh fish restaurant offering 20 kinds of fresh fish in an array of original, delicious styles."
