Went there this past weekend with my wife. Our server was James and he was very knowledgeable. My wife had the avocado and crabmeat and I had the flat bread mushroom pizza Appetizers both were amazing. Main course my wife had the shrimp and oyster dish special and I had the duck, both excellent!

I was in Pittsburg for a business meeting. I was looking forward to there signature meals. Unfortunately we had to wait quite a bit of time to sit even tho there was open seating. Very disappointed because they advertise an organic burger which they did not have any. I settled for a cup of the seafood chowder and a grill... More

We needed to grab some lunch after we went to the marathon expo and walked past this gem. I thought it looked to expensive and fancy for a light lunch! I was wrong!! The food was excellent and the atmosphere was lovely. The front staff was a little disorgnized but the waiter was good once he knew we were there.... More

I had a Fillet Mignon Kabob with Asian vegetables. The meat was very tender and the taste was perfect. They have a huge wine list and also a lot of cocktails. The atmosphere of the restaurant is nice and service is very friendly. All over I really can recommend it.

Our family group of 11 ate here to celebrate our daughter's graduation from Pitt nursing school. It was perfect in every way. Staff was friendly and helpful, the food was amazing, wine (and beer) selections were excellent...perfect evening!

Recently stopped by Sonoma Grille during the NCAA Frozen Four Tourney, based solely on reviews from Trip Advisor. Was VERY glad I came here, considering the number of possibilities for a nice dinner in downtown. I was most impressed with the friendliness of the staff. From the hostess at the door, to one of the managers, to my outstanding waiter... More

We brought friends with us. the 1st time we were attentively waited on and felt special. this time due to the volume of patrons and the inexperience of our waiter, not so much. I ordered shrimp wonderful, sea scallops (ok) and ahi tuna good. My wife ordered steak medium but the center... More

We went to dinner at the Sonoma during the week and I was blown away by the salmon dish I had! I'm pretty obsessed with salmon, so for me to say this was one of the best pieces of salmon I've ever had is saying a lot! The only thing that was slightly annoying was the first waiter who was... More
