Try the Terrace Restaurant. You'll feel like a Rockefeller. Unlike so many want-to-be theme restaurants, this is an elegant, real turn of the century dining experience. (). The prices $$ (~ $22 an entree- not bad compared to my NY prices, w/ much better, honest food quailty and service). In fact, I would rate it higher and cheaper than Pitt's... More

Out of all of the reviews I've written on Tripadvisor, this is my first negative review. I'm usually not the type to complain, which is why I typically only write reviews based off of good experiences, but our lunch here was so terrible that I felt compelled to write this review. First off, we initially wanted a reservation for High... More

Very nice Breakfast buffet with healthy options if you did not want the typical eggs and bacon choices.

We checked into the William Penn where the Terrace Room is located later on the Saturday March 16th. It was the night of a Penguins game and seemed to be the designated celebration night for St Patty's Day. We kind of wanted to eat somewhere not as nice, but we figured it being an obvious party night that any other... More

We dined in the beautiful Terrace Room on a quiet Saturday night, and had excellent food and service. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and helped us select drinks, apps, and entrees suited to our taste. Everything was artfully presented and delicious, some of the best fine dining in recent months. The quality of the food and service... More

We stopped in for dinner before a Pittsburgh Penguin bread. Dinner starts with an assortment of bread. Highly recommend the breadstick looking bread with cheese on it. Delicious. I had the seafood gumbo. Delicious and spicy. Salmon was absolutely delicious as well. We were definitely surprised it wasn't extremely busy for a Friday night but happy we could get in... More

Went on Sunday 2/17 as part of a valentines weekend celebration. The room was historic and beautiful but our service was absolutely horrible. We had the buffet which was nothing spectacular for $30 a person and we had a waiter that did nothing. At a buffet your duties are minimal. Bring drinks, clear plates, bring the bill on time. Our...

Lovely decor, great people watching. A decent but not great selection of wines by the glass, but they were all nice wines. See specific reviews on all of the lounges at my review of the Omni William Penn hotel.

I really, really, really wanted to like this place! I brought my two daughters here for afternoon tea service as a little treat for us over Christmas break. I'm glad that they are such wonderful sports. I was just a bit unimpressed by this alleged high tea service. You're certainly paying for the ambience - and not much else. There... More
