Best Date Night Restaurants in Latrobe

Eleven is still one of the very best in pgh! Forget the over the top trendy trying to gets places and the ultra steak houses. Eleven has been and remains the standard!

Our first experience will not be our last! We live a few hours away and planned a weekend getaway. Everything from the ambiance, service, and food was impeccable! Check in and valet were seamless. Sitting on the swings waiting to be called to our table was a total vibe! We were seated below the bar right at the entrance. At first I had really wished we were upstairs but the food and ambiance made me forget right away! We started with the bread board appetizer which was delivered by one of the managers, Shakur. This impressed me because he was interacting with the guests and you could tell he wanted to make sure our experience was satisfactory! The breads were delicious and the spreads were perfect compliments! I had the haddock and my husband had the lobster mac and cheese. We were expecting small portions for the fine dining price—we were WRONG! We were shocked at how much food arrived and we had to box up a big portion of everything (appetizer, meals, dessert) that we ordered. To finish, we had to order the Pittsburgh cookie table! Were the cookies the best cookies we’ve ever had? No. Am I still glad we ordered it? Absolutely! I especially liked the heart shaped cookies. They were delicious! I must try brunch next!

Our server was great and super attentive to us. My wife and I went to celebrate Valentine’s Day 2025 at Iron Rock. The service was great and always made sure we had our drinks and if we needed anything. However other than our BBQ pulled pork nachos, our food left us unfulfilled. The nachos were amazing and we loved those. However my wife ordered the Alfredo and the cheese was overcooked and curdled making it very grainy and almost sour tasting. My steak was okay but most of it was a large portion of fat that after cutting away took my New York Strip from a decent size to about the size of a steak medallion. While our food wasn’t awful we left wishing it would’ve been a lot better. You can tell our reservation was at 9:00 pm (one of two last available options when we booked) the kitchen was most likely just burnt out. Things did come out fast but I would’ve definitely preferred waiting longer if it meant the quality would’ve been much higher. My wife and I came here twice before this trip and the first time thought it was amazing and made us want even more even though I waited over an hour and a half for my steak (which the staff compensated us heavily for and we got to meet the chef as he made an appearance just to apologize to me) we didn’t mind it was great experience. The second time the menu had changed and there wasn’t much either of us had any interest in, nonetheless we still tried to enjoy the experience there and left saying it was okay. But this last trip for our valentine dinner just left us almost sad, realizing it just didn’t work out the way we hoped and we weren’t mad at anyone just that we probably wouldn’t return. The price vs quality just isn’t there and I can’t justify paying what we do for what is unfortunately a lackluster turnout. Each time my wife and I have went it’s been over a $100 bill for all three trips before tip as well, for me personally if I’m paying that much I can’t have two of the three experiences being poor.

We absolutely loved our food. From the starters to dessert was amazing! Our waitress was great, great suggestions, funny, silly. We really enjoyed her. We were a little disappointed that we had to wait 25 minutes after our reservation time but the good food made up for it. I was enjoying my food so much, I forgot to take pictures!

We went for the Valentine’s Day dinner. The food was thoughtful, the drinks were creative, the service was attentive, and the ambience was electric as a result.
