Grille on Seventh

There was a wait proper so we came here to grab a drink. We we’rent that impressed with this place. Limited warm beer selection and over priced food. We ended up leaving and getting on the wait list for proper. I did like the old style bar but otherwise was unimpressed.

Food was alright at best. Service is okay. They ran out of beer…2 choices Stella’s of Coors Light. Very few choices of anything on the menu. Save your money go somewhere else.

This place went way out of their way to accommodate me. I had 25 mins and 3 different people working said no problem we will make it. I sat at the bat and the bartender was busy so the chef (owner I believe) helped her and the other owner took my order. Great experience. They aim to please.
Put it this way. This is likely my only Unilocal post ever. I don’t do this. Good people great service. …if the food is no good I’ll be suprised. They are taking the time to make this place work.

Food was pretty good, I had the burger and I was cooked to my requested preference. The service suck tho and the soda was watery and flat.

Horrible. Do not eat here, for your health. First off we received 2 menus which made ordering very confusing. We were told to order the stuffed burgers because that is what they were known for. We ordered some drinks, the selection was pretty basic. And we waited, and waited, and waited for the food to come out. Finally it arrived and that is when it really went bad. Two of the three stuffed burgers came out and the bacon was WHITE, NOT COOKED. Then, I noticed that my burger wasn’t even stuffed so I sent the whole thing back. Waited and waited for it to come back, ended up the burger itself was delicious, but still hardly any trace of cheese still to make it seem stuffed. We had one more person who ordered Salmon. Her whole plate was cold so she sent it back completely did not even want to chance it again. The manager was nowhere to be found and only took 3 beers off the tab. Terrible service just do yourself a favor and stay far away. Many other places around just don’t go

Only been here for drinks. Nice open and airy. Friendly staff. Somewhat generic choice of beers. Didn’t eat so I can’t comment on the menu/​food.

I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. We needed to find somewhere to eat before a show downtown and came across grille on seventh because it was very close. They took us downstairs which felt like a basement. The menu is extremely limited and highly overpriced and leaves much to be desired. Our waiter seemed very confused and forgot our silverware after asking multiple times. The appetizers were slightly better than the entrees. My Caesar salad was completely drowned in dressing and almost inedible. The manager asked us how the meal was and we told him the truth and he said «ok» and walked away. If you are in search of a good downtown Pittsburgh meal, keep looking!

Ate at this place because it was the only spot open on 7^th on a Monday at dinner. The menu is boring, and doesn’t have anything interesting on it. Our food was OK, but we ordered the special — chicken nachos. They were pretty standard nachos, but nothing to complain about there. Also, the women’s restroom wasn’t too great; one ‘out of order’ stall, and the other didn’t’ have a lock. My advice is to keep walking past this place, unless it’s the only open place.

Not sure what to say about rhis place.
I walked by 10 bars on a Saturday night because they were packed and I didnt think I could get a seat.
Then I spot this place and walk in. At 9.30pm on a Saturday night, I was the only person in the entire place.
They were letting stsff off early. They had about 15 taps but only 2 were actually tapping.
A bottle of Miller Lite was $ 3, a great deal.
I ordered the 4 cheese pasta. Although it was good, I thought it was way overpriced at $ 22.00. (Probably a $ 15 meal most places) No salad included. Bartender was great but menu was very expensive and very limited.

While the server was attentive and friendly, the food was sub par. We asked for a medium burger, that was supposed to come with a fried onion ring. Got a tiny one that was well done and instead had a raw onion. Definitely not worth $ 14. The this and that salad was delicious (but realistically how can you mess up lettuce, feta cheese, cranberries and oranges?). It probably didn’t help that there were house flies flying all around us while eating. I wouldn’t recommend coming here., unless you want overpriced, unimpressive food.

Great location, and wonderful staff, but I think the prices are out of line, both for food and drinks.
This place gets packed when there is a big event at the Benedum, but I know we have better options Downtown.

Worst dinner I’ve ever had in my life. To the point of questioning the freshness of food.
Was offered from the chef, the surf and turf that consisted of Delmonico Steak and Scallops. Came like the photo provided and I’ve never seen any surf n turf like this.
My steak was not a Delmonico. My scallops were ok.
With such a great location and beautiful outdoor scene, why go cheap on your food?

It seems like things were amiss on the fine evening that I visited this dining establishment.
First, an empty restaurant across from the Benedum Center — right before a culinary-​themed show– is probably NOT a good sign. Had I listened to my gut & not to my growling stomach, I would have walked out as soon as I walked in.
We were seated.
Then, the weirdness began.
My husband and I ordered iced teas. Behind us, the staff was talking about how we ordered iced teas. Ok, sure, fine. This topic just kept going and going. Literally 5 minutes of the staff discussing how we ordered iced tea. I am not sure how this is news?
Then, we order the food.
Salad (greens) with a refreshing citrus dressing. Unfortunately not refreshing enough to revive the wilted salad leaves. Honestly, though, it wasn’t THAT wilted. Not like my husband’s salad (with Italian dressing) that he had to fervently pick at with his fork.
My husband ordered Chicken Parm. I ordered seafood tureen. First of all, I am confused. A tureen is a dish that soup or stew is served in. I assumed it was — oh… a soup or stew? It looked like a soup or stew, but when I asked for a spoon, I was handed a tiny spoon with a very long handle — and that was with MUCH hesitation. Obviously this tiny spoon was not meant for eating. It took me about 2 000 000 000 000 spoonfuls to get the job done. Not that I needed anything special. just a normal spoon.
Why even go on? It just got worse after this.
I am hoping that this was just an off night for these guys. I will say that this place is in need of some TLC. It was quite outdated on top of the weird ambiance and sad food.

All the locals know: don’t go here. Go around the corner to Olive or Twist. The food and drinks are cheaper and much better, trust me!
This restaurant is an aging super model. It *used* to be the place to go for good food and had a following. I dont know what happened. If you enjoy having really nice people serve you really crappy food, dine here.
And thats *if* your food ever comes out.
Its obvious the food they serve is frozen, thawed, then microwaved. Because of the location with a better chef, maybe a better POS system or more training, I believe this place could be revived. Every few years or so I try this place out, but its never good.
Oddly enough I’ve had several business meetings here. I dont know why. But really, those are the only times I dine here.
I’m giving 2 stars for the location, and the service is good. I almost never give 1 star reviews.

This rating is for the staff who are remaining. They are dedicated to keeping this place up and running, even when their cook quits; incidentally that happened the evening I attended. Everyone was open and honest about what was happening and endeavored to go on despite the awful situation. As a side note any comments on the food prior to tonight should be disregarded as most likely they have hired a new chef. But seriously, kudos to those guys who gave their all. They were checking in on people and trying to be optimistic and transparent. As a side note they heavily discounted peoples checks who were waiting. Nice move.

Overpriced and simple. Place didn’t look like it was open. Soup was basic and they had to alter because they didn’t have certain ingredients. My pasta primavera was a 19.99 lunch item and I was expecting it to be awesome. However, when received, it was essentially boiled spaghetti in a butter sauce with very few vegetables. The service was okay, not great. This place needs Marcus Lemonis otherwise its either a front or its doomed.
Do yourself a favor and go to Meat and Potatoes!

Stopped in for lunch after a HUGE lunch rush. Staff was working their butts off, and the manager, Kate, was doing 150 mph. The food was good, but the quality of Kate’ care and attention to her customers made the experience worth 4stars, likely 4.5. Definitely will come again!

After dinner on Liberty, me and the H wanted to stop somewhere to get a drink that was close to the Benedum as we were seeing a show last night, and perhaps a place that didn’t charge an arm and a leg for a drink. Well one out of two ain’t bad right?
I’ll start by saying, the bartender was a really nice guy. Friendly, accommodating, and let me explain why he was accommodating. They have about meh 15 or so beers on tap. I say oh I will, let me stop you there… Just because I appear to have beer I do not… ALL of the taps were down, and here is the killer… I say oh did that just happen? Answer: No been this way since Sunday… It is Tuesday night??? What the heck are they doing? I just hope they don’t try to serve that skunky beer when and if the tap system gets repaired… I am sure that was a big loss so what is all the wait about?
Well we decided to stay tempted with a bottled beer but I felt like they were a little overpriced, even though I think he charged us less than normal because the draft situation, so we had a couple and left for the Theater.
I probably wouldn’t return, but I give the bartender an A+. Another patron left and forgot her hat. We pointed it out to the bartender thinking he would put it behind the bar for her to pick up later when she realized she forgot it. NOPE, this man bolted out of the place sprinting down 7^th to return this hat back to its owner without putting so much as a coat on to protect himself from the icy cold lingering outside… Super great bartender, I believe his name was Brook. Well If I would ever come back I would hope he would be waiting on me.

We stopped here after our visit to PNC Park.
Located in the cultural district of downtown Pittsburgh, this ace is perfect for lunch or a few drinks.
We entered thru their cute little patio and were immediately greeted by their manager and bartender. This place kind of looks lie an Irish bar: dark walls and wood, lots of beer sponsored mirrors, etc. We opted to sit at the bar.
I had the turkey club wrap w/​fries and my husband tried the 7^th street fries. Im not sure you can really go wrong w/​loaded fries. Do I really *need* to say he enjoyed them? Its implied right? Right. My wrap was good. The turkey was nice and moist and it had just the right amount of veggies and shredded cheese. The only thing I was really disappointed in was the tortilla. It was supposed to be on some kind of herb tortilla, you could see the herbs, but they had no taste.
Our service was excellent. Ryan was very attentive and talkative. I’d definitely recommend going in to see him for a drink or two.

Crap-​tacular!
Only word I can think to describe this dump. Sat at the bar. The place was half full. Three people behind the bar. Guy says «will be right with you». Okay, so I wait. The couple next to me got up and left. I thought that was odd. Another table asked for a manager because they’d ordered their food long ago and thought it got lost.
Meantime, I get up, go to the empty hostess stand and get a menu so I can order if anyone (including the two girls behind the bar) ask me if I want something.
Look at my watch… after 10 min, I think I’ll give it a few more minutes.
Another table also asked for a manager. At that point, I thought «This is probably not the place for me», esp. because the guy who said he’d be right with me had to walk by me seven times while I was sitting there.
I don’t blame the staff, though they clearly are not so bright when they are standing there doing nothing and people are asking for managers. It’s all on management, of which there is none, or if they do have a manager, they just don’t care if people get up and leave a half empty restaurant after never being served. I should have read the other (highly consistent) reviews!
