It's tough to walk past the Steak Company without going in -- a red awning, which extends across the sidewalk, draws attention to an antique-style wood facade, which draws attention to the tempting menu posted by the door. An organic motif continues inside -- offsetting the raw-brick walls is more spruced-up vintage wood, including a bar with an illuminated stained-glass panel. Tabletops are covered with tough copper sheeting, and dim chandeliers and hanging greenery provide warm ambience.

The dinner crowd generally is affluent, low-key and, most of all, eager for top-notch beef. As the evening wears on, however, the space grows crowded with younger, well-heeled South Side revelers. On Friday nights, a band sets up near the front window and entertains with jazz and blues standards.

This restaurant takes steak seriously, so you're encouraged to allow the chef ample prep time and to refrain from ordering that T-bone well-done. (The horror!) Seafood and pasta dishes, such as chicken appollonia (with feta, spinach and garlic), stuffed orange-seasoned roughy and penne fra diavolo also are popular. All entrees come with a fresh tossed salad and plenty of Italian bread, so there's little chance you'll head home hungry.

    Had a great meal at this friendly restaurant this week. The Steaks were fantastic and the service and atmosphere was great fun. Will always stop when I am back in Pittsburgh.

  • Thanks for the warning

    I was considering going to try their steaks but after reading all of the bad reviews you would think the owner would do something about his servers. This is what people such as I judge a restaurant for first. It was hard to believe that so many also thought the steaks were like leather. I hate to judge without having been there but how can so many feel this way without there being something to their complaints. Again, good service is my pet peeve. Paying good money for food and service you expect to get what you pay for. I will still go there so I can come back here and give them a fair chance. That would only be fair to them. Maybe I will be one of the lucky ones to get a good steak and as for the service I don't think that will happen.

    My wife and I eat at this restaurant fairly often. We have nothing but good things to say and would recommend it to anyone. The food is good and the service is friendly and helpful. I recommend a steak but if you aren't a steak fan (like my wife) the stuffed shrimp and lobster ravioli are good too.

  • Good if you like horse steaks

    The food at this place is horrible. I actually got extremely sick after eating at this restaurant. I had explosive diarrhea for 2 days. I would tell you more, however the matter is pending litigation. Also, I think one of the owner was looking at my package in the bathroom.

    Review rating : 3out of 5   johnt33394 - 12/13/2005

    After arriving in Pittsburgh from Chicago recently, a friend and I decided to select this steakhouse to enjoy a steak dinner. We selected this steakhouse for two reasons: 1) based on this site’s editor’s review and 2) this site selecting this restaurant as a “City Best.”

    Unfortunately, both of us did not enjoy our respective choices in steak dinner selections. The steaks were of poor cut and quality. Although of sufficient quantity, the poor quality of meat made it almost impossible to chew at times. For a “STEAKHOUSE” their steaks leave something to be desired.

    The service, although friendly, was slow and indifferent. You have to ask for everything. You could tell that this restaurant was understaffed. After waiting over an hour to be seated, the end result made for a very disappointing evening. We will not go back.

  • Been there 3 times

    Was good the first time, so we went back. Wasn't good the second time, but we thought, what the heck, it could have been a bad night. The third time it wasn'g good. We won't be back.

    I visited this place 2 years ago and vowed I would never go back. Horrible service, barmaid and waitress were more interested into talking to 2 guys at the bar. I ordered the Prime Rib which was the SPECIAL, usually good if a resturant has an entree as a special.
    Was served lukewarm, looked like it was steamed (grey color) canned aus jus, tasted like it was soaked on liver juice. Wilted salad.Anyone who rates this place above 1 star is a typical pittsburgher with shot and a beer taste and wears their baseball hat with the bil in the back.
