Beautiful view, But !

by pennypenny

We took my inlaws there for a 50th wedding celebration dinner. The view was beautiful, but you can get a better view by walking Mt. Washington and stopping on a

scenic overlook and even taking awsome pictures of the skyline. The french onion soup was good, but only warm, the bread was HARD to eat. The salad and veg. did not have any flavor to them and the dinner itself was O.K. but not worth the price. Oh ! and don't order alcohol, that will add at least another $30 to your bill. My suggestion would be to walk Mt. Washimgton for the view and then eat at your FAVORITE diner.

• Pros: Beautiful view of the city, especially at night
• Cons: way overpriced!!!

Last place in the world to eat

by MollyBOO

This is one of the worst restrautants I have ever visited. Reservations were difficult... the woman who answer the phone acted like this was the first time anyone ever call them. When entering, you pass though a very dark small hallway and all the wait staff look at you like you are from Mars.

I was seated one table away from the window... in the middle of the wait staff runway.

I ordered the Prime Rib with Yorkshire Pudding... The Yorkshire Pudding had to be at least a week old and cold. The Prime Rib has so much fat in it..that I would not even offer it to my dog. The broccoli was hard with no taste. The loaf of bread was stale. The french onion soup was OK but not hot. The wait staff was horrible.

The menu prices on the web site were much lower than the real price. Come on now... how much time does it take to update prices on a web site.

I will never think about going to the Georgetown Inn again.

• Pros: Wonderful view of Pittsburgh
• Cons: Terrible food at an expensive price
