We visited the Georgetown for our 25th anniversary and it was a pleasant experience. After reading some reviews I had my doubts. When we arrived, we were seated promptly by a window with a great view of the city. I will say that the service was excellent. The wait staff was attentive yet not irritating, anticipating our needs. The Georgetown has a nice atmosphere but it is a bit out dated. The view of Pittsburgh is superb. We received a nice surprise when the waitress informed us that with dinner, there would be soup AND salad plus veggie, although the menu states soup OR salad. The French onion soup was very nice. Not overly salty with a generous amount of onions. We had a nice mixed green salad with a pleasant peppercorn ranch. The NY Strip Steak was cooked perfectly and was flavorful and tender. The Prime rib OK. It was cooked properly but rather tasted bland. I added a lot of black pepper. In a small dipping cup was an odd tasting au jus. I passed on it after the first dip. The biggest disappointment was the Yorkshire pudding. It had an awful, burnt taste. The broccoli was crisp and flavorful. We also had a nice loaf of fresh baked bread with whipped butter. This was very nice. We passed on dessert, despite their delicious looking appearances, as we had plenty to eat and were full. Overall we had a pleasant dining experience although it was way over priced. Even with a $25 gift certificate, we still paid 5-star restaurant prices. We enjoyed ourselves but probably will not return due to the overall cost. I suppose you pay for the scenery. By the way, use the valet parking. It is half the price of the lot across the street.
