    This has to be our favorite bar in Pittsburgh. We love the old world atmosphere and the decor. We enjoy sitting at the bar having a drink made by the well trained bartenders and just taking in the ambiance. There's just something about it and it just feels right to us. This is the place that we choose to go when we feel like celebrating something or if we are meeting up with friends or if we just need to have a relaxing time on a Saturday afternoon. We even spent this past New Year's Eve with them....what a wonderful time that was!! We are planning to do it again! It is always perfectly relaxing and enjoyable. There's never a bad time to go to the Gandy Dancer! Many years ago, the bartender introduced me to what is now my all time favorite cocktail--a Hendricks Gin Martini with a cucumber. This is the place to get one for sure! The prices might be a bit steep but if you hit it for happy hour--you can save some $$...they have a great Happy Hour. As for food----you can't go wrong with the Charley's Chowder! That's all I ever order when I go because I have loved it since the day they opened...way back when!!! But, I've often picked off my husband's plate and I can vouch for almost all of their seafood entrees! As time goes on, I find that we choose places for the experience more than the food. You can get good food at hundreds of places but not every place has the experience of the Gandy Dancer. Why did I take me so long to write a review??? Now that I have, I have to plan another trip. This weekend? Yes!!!

    Located in the, well, grand Grand Concourse building, right next to the restaurant, Gandy Dancer puts on a killer Happy Hour every weeknight. There are drink as well as food specials. My husband and I stopped by on Friday the 13th prior to our Grand Concourse dinner reservations next door, and what a great decision that was! As can be expected, the $5 glasses of wine during Happy Hour were more than twice the price in the restaurant. We gobbled up an order of the craft beer battered cod (light and flakey and served with thick rich tartar sauce; couldn't have been better), the raw oysters (all 3 were nice and mild, just the way I like them), and the white flatbread (a nice cracker-thin crust). That, a few glasses of wine, and we were off to our dinner reservations next door. I have to say, all things considered and bang for buck, Gandy Dancer stands right up to Grand Concourse. Service was great, efficient. We snagged the last open table in the jovial bar area, and our server was on top of everything. The food and refills came out quickly despite Happy Hour being in full swing.

    I had an interesting experience here with my group of friend the other night. There were 7 of us, which is a bigger group. Our server was super nice, but a bit odd. He had a hard time keeping everything straight and seemed really overwhelmed. We all ordered wine, which was over priced! We also got a few things to snack on. The food was fine, but nothing special. I will not be running back here anytime soon.

    This is a very difficult review for me. I've been an enthusiastic, boastful, bragging regular customer of The Gandy Dancer for many, many years.. Great food, great drinks and the ambience; can't find better. I was very excited to take my partner for drinks and dinner tonite before the Riverhounds Soccer game. Wow! What a disappointment! Sparse crowd, but less restaurants (Joe's Crab Shack, Hard Rock, etc) had a 35-40 minute wait? Our waitress wasn't the best, very loopy, spacey, wasn't sure about the menu. She forgot parts of our order; the order was wrong, and we asked for water several times. She probably could be better (efficient??) with more training? But she's not working at McDonalds? My partner ordered the fried fish dinner; very tasty. I ordered salad, with no onions, and honey mustard dressing and the scallop appetizer. I recd salad with sliced onions and house dressing? I Didn't return, because I didn't want to wait. But the "Dynamite scallop" appetizer was the biggest disappointment! 5 1/2 shell; scallops crab encrusted; basil drizzle. But I recd 5 1/2 shells with 2 dime size scallops( maybe smaller) on 3 shells and 1 tiny scallop on 2 shells. I had to re look at the menu questioning "crab encrusted" that didn't exist? Placed on black paper with shredded "something" in the middle? So sad; this was my go to place for friends, family, and anyone asking where to eat? Management needs to be more on top of what is going on. No complaints about the bartenders-great! Tourists with children want a place to eat; not a kid friendly menu? Will I return, absolutely, it's a Pittsburgh tradition, but will question the quality of the food. Now, too many other restaurant choices.

    I visited the Gandy Dancer for the first time yesterday evening and I have a WONDERFUL experience. The restaurant is gorgeous, and the food lives up to the building it is housed in. I ate on the bar side of the restaurant, and the prices were VERY reasonable for the wonderful quality of a meal that I received. I'm not sure if the restaurant side is more expensive (that's what I thought I over heard.) The chef who served us was extremely personable, kind, knowledgeable, and just made the whole experience pleasant. I can't wait to pass this restaurant on to friends!

    A business colleague chose Gandy Dancer for our lunch meeting. He is a regular customer. The restaurant was not busy on a Monday. But service was lackadaisical at best, waitress was AWOL for long periods. Salad course came. Ehh but ok. Entrees took.effing.for.ever. asked about it twice. Others joined us for coffee but our entrees still hadn't arrived. Finally they came. My 'pan seared scallops' were in a pond of pinkish thin sauce and were nowhere near being seared. Poached and tasteless. Coffee was served lukewarm. Rather than offer a fresh hot brew, our waitress offered to take it and warm it up. Amateur hour in the kitchen and on the floor. My host, their regular customer, was embarrassed. Chuck Meur restaurants used to be terrific. This one has sadly declined.
