Andrew’s Steak & Seafood

Had the seafood platter. Toughest lobster I ever eaten and the halibut was dry I thought it was the grilled bread that came with the meal. I never sent a meal back but experience was close

On multiple occasions I’ve had some of the best service ever here. Their menu is excellent as well; my favorites include: oysters, French onion soup, and lobster tail. Plus you can add on sides! I love being able to add a side of asparagus with my lobster tail!

This is my favorite place to go to when I’m in Pittsburgh, great food and great service. I never leave there hungry.

So this is my 2^nd here. My first experience was when the casino first opened and it was terrible. It was so bad that I wrote the manager. They offered to comp my return but I just never made it back.
This time around was a different experience.
We entered the casino and was immediate hit by the terrible smell of smoke. Why is the smoking section right in the front?
As a non-​smoker this was a huge turnoff and we swiftly made our way as fast as possible to the entrance.
We were welcomed with a smile and awkwardly shown our table by the host. She was going to have her assistant take us to the table but the assistant had walked away but still was taking to her which was so weird. She apologized and took us to her table.
Our sever was good but lacked any sort of personality. She did the job but that’s all.
I ordered the shrimp cocktail which had 4 huge shrimp. All were cooked well and was provided a nice portion of cocktail sauce.
My wife had the pear salad. This was the weirdest salad I have ever seen. The pear was puréed and then formed into a square. And the salad were micro greens. So I would say the description was not enough close to a pear salad.
I had the bone in ribeye which was delicious. The steak certainly filled the plate but that’s all that was on it. I’m just not a fan of Alla cart style. It makes the plate look terrible and boring. My plate also just had the steak and nothing else. So bland!
The wife had the petite filet which was cooked well. But when you put a filet all alone on a big dinner plate it looks terrible! Come on put some mashed potatoes and jazz up the plate.
Now my mom had the rack of lamb which had roasted Brussel sprouts and a few other items. I’m so confused at this point in the meal. 3 of the 4 meals had only the steak on them. But one had a full beautifully crafted plate.
Sorry but forget to mention that we all had meat for dinner. My dad had the porterhouse which was huge.
While all the steaks were cooked properly. Plating gets a 0!
Due to the boring plates and smoke in the casino, prob won’t be back again.

Been here multiple times for dinner. I have yet to be disappointed. Their food is really good quality and their bread is always warm. Excellent service every time too! Will keep going back.

We have been here over a dozen times and every time the food is spot on. The filet mignon is always delicious and perfectly cooked! would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great steak not to mention the desserts are divine also!!!

Very good experience. My wife and I were pleasantly surprised. She had the porterhouse and I had the ribeye. We also had crab cakes and the lobster mac. Our food was prepared well and we liked our server. We were even more pleased when we got the check; very reasonable! We will definitely return.

We went to Andrews for our anniversary, we wanted good quality steak and that is what we got! The food was so good! I have celiac’s disease and they accommodated my meal! We will defiantly go back!

Slow service. On a Sunday with the place ²⁄₃ empty.
Well over three hours for dinner slow. Other parties were in and out while we sat and and sat and sat.
Appetizer I had the perogis. Pretty good, not great. NY strip I admit was prepared well. The cheese cake was only okay.
Probably won’t be back. Just far to much waiting.

if you arent in the mood for hyde park or ruths chris then try andrews. located in the northshore inside the casino and most definately worth the price.

No one under 21 can eat here. We had a wedding rehearsal dinner and two of my children were under 21 but because it is associated with a casino, no one under 21 can enter the restaurant. Crazy, as I’ve eaten with my family in Las Vegas and California Casinos without incident, but here they wouldn’t even let us near the restaurant. Too bad as I’m certain this must destroy their business. We spent our 800 bucks at Eddie Merlots instead. Well worth it.

Went here tonight for dinner and then some gaming in the casino.
It was very quiet and we had a nice table near the windows that overlook the river.
We ordered a wedge salad (split for two), 2 rib eye’s and a trio of sides including seasonal vegetables, roasted mushrooms, and creamed spinach. As we are avoiding carbs right now we had to say no to the bread basket, but it did smell delicious.
Overall our waiter was very nice and helpful. He was available when needed, but also gave us time to look over the menus and to eat without feeling rushed, or that it was taking too long.
The food was good. Definitely not the best steak I have ever had, but delicious none the less and overall a great time. Being in the casino is nice because we were able to enjoy some gaming after and it was all in one place.

I stopped by here a while ago with my fiancé for dinner. I have actually been here a couple of different times before and each time was good. The steakhouse is tastefully decorated and feels upscale like it should. My favorite part of it is that the casino is kept in the casino and if you didn’t walk through it to get here then you would never know that it is right outside the door. So what that means is that restaurant seems to be somewhat soundproofed and was not smoky whatsoever. Whenever my fiancé and I came we both had the fall pre-​fixe menu and I had the following:
Bread — Three types: jalapeño cheddar (my favorite), a rustic farmhouse type loaf and a fruit loaf all with salted butter.
Steak Tartar — This came with served with a baguette. The tartar itself was bland and the raw onion in it was not for me but at least the sauce was good.
Beet salad — This salad had very sour dressing but I enjoyed it as it had goat cheese, blue cheese, white and red beets and pine nuts.
8 oz Filet — The filet was good by itself, cooked nicely and I loved the salted top. It came with mushrooms that were cooked nice but salty and also a few overcooked pieces of asparagus and mashed potatoes which were nothing special.
Cheesecake to go — came with berries (blueberry, strawberry and raspberry) and some whipped cream and tasted decently.
The bottom line for me is that I would come back here again in the future. It was another solid meal at Andrews and both my fiancé and I enjoyed it.

I ate dinner at this restaurant with my family. The crab cake that I ordered for my appetizer had some shell in it and could have used more meat. I ordered the filet mignon for my main entrée. It tasted fine but could have been better for the price. For my dessert, I ordered crème brûlée, which was had the thickest consistency of any crème brûlée that I have ever had. I did appreciate the manager coming over to our table and making us feel welcome. Our waitress was also nice.

I actually work at the Casino and had a chance to finally go to Andrews with some friends. This was easily the best steak I’ve ever had in my life. First of all, the restaurant is beautiful. Very classy. The waiters, waitresses and bartenders were all very friendly and clean. I had the 14 oz New York Strip Medium and it was perfect. Everything is pretty much a la carte, so I had a baked potato and roasted mushrooms. It was great. My wife had Chilean Sea Bass and loved it as well. It is pricey, but you definitely get what you pay for. Delicious.

I remain consistently impressed by this restaurant. You wouldn’t think that a casino steakhouse would be that great, but you would be wrong. This restaurant really kicks ass. Highlights, in no particular order:
* Salads: Fresh, delicious, enormous, creative. The winter salad features crusted sweet potato croquettes. Amazing!
* Steaks: Top-​notch. Bone-​in ribeye is the best in the city. Filet is fantastic as well. This EASILY beats Ruth Chris.
* Seafood tartare: Very creative, interesting use of sushi-​grade seafood. Highly-​recommend.
* Service: Very knowledgeable & competent.
* Drinks: Excellently executed! :)
* Ambiance: Beautiful, well-​curated space.
All in all, an excellent restaurant. Definitely a good date spot!

We dined here on a recent «special» evening. Tucked inside Rivers Casino, we arrived promptly for our reservation. Lucky for us, we managed to get an awesome table with a view of Point State Park and the Pittsburgh’s Skyline. Beautiful! The interior of the restaurant is modern, beautiful lighting and a huge bar area. Because the restaurant is located in a casino, no children. The restaurant is named after important Andrews namely Carnegie, Mellon and Warhol.
Our server was awesome, fairly attentive throughout the evening. We started with a shared roasted beet salad. The arugula, goat cheese and pine nuts made it amazing. For our meals, BJ got the hanger steak with chard, Parmesan and red wine demi. It was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. I got the 8 oz. filet mignon. I was concerned about being able to eat such a big steak. But no worries. It was so good, I was able to eat every bite of it. Perfectly cooked, the flavor was incredible. For our sides, we got a trio that included lobster risotto, sweet potato purée and root vegetable. The risotto was just okay, but the other two were outstanding. We really enjoyed our leisurely meal here.

3.5 stars: 4 for the food, 2 for the chef’s refusal to defer to customers.
The Hostess: The Paula Dean lookalike was supremely uninterested in greeting us. After walking in she didn’t make eye contact and left a long, intentional pause after asking us about reservations. 2 more seconds and we would have left w/​our $ 150.
Waitress: Stacey was amazing! She was attentive and super friendly.
Food: The chef refused to make my burger medium rare for some reason. It was medium so I sent it back, and when I got it back the 2^nd time the chef sent a message that the burger can’t be made medium rare. I’m sorry, but I’ve had plenty of burgers medium rare at other high end restaurants (see: Minetta Tavern in NYC). I only didn’t send it back again b/​c I didn’t want my food tampered with. It tarnished an otherwise great food experience.
Verdict: With a better hostess and a chef that listens to customers this place would be 5 starts. Regardless, the burger was amazing, so go for that!

Surprisingly a pleasant experience!
We’re not really gamblers, but had dinner at Andrews to celebrate a family member’s birthday. We were pretty worried when we walked into the casino and nearly choked because of the cigarette smoke… for out of towners — Allegheny County no longer allows smoking in most restaurants and businesses, so this was quite a shock!
Once we got to the restaurant, all was well. The décor is pleasing and not over done. We were seated outside on the patio and had a decent view of the river and city.
The meal and drinks were delicious… our table selected a round of cocktails and steak tartar and calamari for appetizers, both delicious and decent portions… then various salads (caprese was awesome!!) and finally main courses — 2 steaks with a trio of sides, ciopinno and the monkfish… ciopinno was great, slightly over cooked, but still really great flavor. my husband’s bone-​in ribeye was of Flinstone’s proportions and had great flavor.
I didn’t get to check out the wine list, but both bottles of Northern California wines (Cab and Sauv Blanc) were great.
My only major criticism was the garbage carts were wheeled about 15 yards in front of our table every so often… there was no odor, but it was rather unsightly. I know garbage needs to be dealt with, but wondering if there is a better path.
Overall, a great meal… total for a table of four (cocktails, apps, salads, meals and 2 bottles of wine) was about $ 550… so it was pricy, but delicious!

Inside the Rivers Casino there are several restaurants, Andrew’s Steakhouse being the ‘High-​End” restaurant among them. We have been here oh, I’ll just say numerous times, including fourth of July to eat and watch the fireworks.
How do you see the fireworks, well the backside of the restaurant is all floor to ceiling windows looking out over, across, up and down the river. Also there is a backside patio dining area under cover but with outstanding views including up the Mt. Washington hillside. In this warm months this is a very pleasant or even perhaps an outstanding al fresco dining scene.
So what do I like best here; the food and views.
And the least, a bit noisy from the casino and intermittently slow service.
Our usual starting place would be the Bluepoint oysters on the half shell, which are always nicely presented and tasting fresh out of the water. They are accompanied by Cocktail sauce, Mignonette, and Horseradish sauce. Some of our other favorite starters are the French Onion Soup with Applejack Brandy, and Calamari which is served with Lemon Aioli and Arrabbiata sauce dipping which has a nice complexity and heat to it. The Calamari is delicious and very tender.
We alternate between the salads all of which are pretty good. I especially enjoy the beet salad. This has read and yellow roasted baby beets, with goat cheese, frisee and arugula and a Sherry vinegar reduction. These flavors all work together so nicely.
So far, we have not tried the seafood, chicken or burgers. But the Steaks, Prime rib and the Lamb are what we are drawn to.
The Bone In Ribeye done medium rare is just bursting with flavor and practically melts in your mouth. This is an outstanding steak, one which I come back for often.
Linda loves the Rack of Lamb. This Lamb is mild, tender, beautifully prepared and very delicious for you lamb lovers. We have had Lamb all over the country and this stands up to the best we have had including Jamison Farms (actually from here in Latrobe, but served around the country in the best restaurants, and Elysian Fields (also local to Green county and served in around the United States). Example, Thomas Keller famed Chef of the French Laundry in California serves Pennsylvania Lamb.
One other item worthy of note, there is a very great bar in here with seating and several High-​top tables. Overall this is a very good choice if you are seeking the high-​end steakhouse kind of dinner and experience. I think the Ribeye here might be the best int he city.
