Pittsburgh’s Very First Steak and Seafood Restaurant Has Literally Been Around Forever

We all have our "go to" restaurants, our regular spots that we go to when we're in the mood for a guaranteed good meal. But, sometimes we also like to try something different. Choosing a restaurant to try, of course, can often be challenging. And, sometimes it's as easy as choosing a restaurant that has been a culinary staple in Pittsburgh for decades. Next time you're having that age old argument - where do you want to go to eat - plan a visit to this historic restaurant in Pittsburgh.

Tucked in the Omni William Penn Hotel in downtown Pittsburgh, the Terrace Room, formerly the Italian Terrace, dates back to 1916.

Today, guests can get a glimpse of the restaurant's rich history through the decor that includes historic photographs and a historic mural.

So, plan a visit to The Terrace Room, which serves breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner. Start with a glass of wine or a cocktail, such as the Champagne Cobbler, Moscow Mule, or Unfiltered Martini.

Then, peruse the menu that features such delectable dishes as the New York strip steak, the filet mignon, and the cornmeal crusted trout.

Of course, if you're in the mood for a starter before the entree, opt for the shrimp cocktail, seared tuna, or east coast oysters.

The Terrace Room also serves a variety of handheld dishes, such as the grilled salmon BLT, the black bean veggie burger, and the smokehouse burger.

Or, make reservations for the traditional afternoon tea, held Monday through Saturday from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m.

Experience the historic Terrace Room, which welcomes diners for daily from 6:30 a.m. to 11 a.m., brunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, and lunch Monday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Or, stop by for dinner from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

The Terrace Room at the Omni William Penn Hotel is located at 530 William Penn Pl., Pittsburgh, PA 15219.
