About this restaurant

  • Great for happy hour
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Charming
Welcome to The Millhouse, a modern wood fire grill rooted in Pittsburgh’s storied industrial past. Located in the heart of downtown, we blend bold, flame driven cooking with refined techniques to create a dining experience that’s equal parts rustic and elevated.

Our menu celebrates locally inspired flavors—think char grilled steaks with smoked chimichurri, blackened yellowfin ahi, handmade pastas, and signature dishes like Norwegian salmon over saffron risotto or rosemary half chicken with brown butter sauce. Small plates and shareables, from Southern style crab beignets to fire grilled focaccia with whipped ricotta, invite communal dining.

Set in a space that nods to the steel city's heritage, The Millhouse is where craftsmanship meets comfort. Whether you're here for a casual dinner, a night out, or a special occasion, we welcome you to gather, share, and savor the fire.

    Service was good, food was well cooked and came out quick, the two things I would change would be to allow people to go sit in the lower level of the restaurant vs near the bar and to lower the music so people can have conversation.

    Went there during restaurant week expecting a nice atmosphere and quality food. My appetizer came out cold. The entree was good and steaming hot so that made up for it. Strangest server we ever encountered though. Sign at front says check in with bar. Ok we did that and then the bartender says sit anywhere with set for 2 people. Ok we did that too. This server curses like we’re at some hole in the wall bar. Bad look for this restaurant and ownership should take a closer look at who they are hiring. Best I can do is 2 stars.

    It was an unfortunate choice for us. We knew we would be just arriving in town, tired from travel and glad to have a reservation at in hotel restaurant. Upon arrival at the Millhouse, we informed them we had a reservation, and were handed a limited menu with instructions that we might want to review if the limited choices would be satisfactory. We reviewed and approved that we could accept the limitation that was not noted at time of reservation. That led to a concern for seating, despite room being significantly less than capacity. Seated, we were brought water and told we would be waited on soon. This turned into a full 30 minutes. We were just about to leave when our order was chaotically taken. Soon she returned to try and confirm the orders. Once corrected, the order was placed and the process began to move. Salad and Oxtail was pretty good. Lobster Ravioli was both basic and limited. Overall such a disappointment.

    We went for restaurant week and they ran out of two items on the menu the lobster ravioli and salmon by 5pm we arrived at 7pm. Why not leave some for dinner crowd. Service was good he was nice. The jerk chicken was terrible. My spouse did enjoy the 1 oxtail he got. Desserts were terrible too. The appetizer was unforgettable we ordered the wings and didn’t finish them. I was so disappointed and my stomach was upset after dinner.

    Food and service were good, but the restaurant lit up with super-bright lights. Not a good experience for an evening dining experience.

    We were a group of 8 that came in after an afternoon Pens game. There seemed to be a mixup with the reservation, but they were able to seat us quickly despite that. We had the pierogie appetizers and drinks, and dinner. The food came out quickly and the portions were generous. I had the burger, which was perfectly prepared and delicious. Definitely recommend!

    We sat at a small unbalanced table when several other tables were available. I ordered a draft beer ($10.00) and it tasted old, warm, and was almost un drinkable.
