The Best Dining in Pittsburgh Since 1984
For 25 years, weve been known as one of the very best restaurants in western Pennsylvania, but dont take my word for it. Stop by for lunch or dinner and youll discover why The Carlton Restaurant and I have been recognized as:
- The Overall Favorite Restaurant by Pittsburgh Post-Gazette readers
- A 14 time recipient of the Wine Spectators Award of Excellence
- Restaurateur of the Year by Pittsburgh Magazine, the Pennsylvania Restaurant Association, and the International Geneva Association.
Veteran Chef and Staff
The Carlton offers the very best in prime meats, fresh seafood, exquisite veal and pasta. Executive Chef Mark Swomley is known for his creativity in our Seasonal Kitchen where our menu changes daily, so you can always depend on market fresh ingredients available for your dining pleasure.
We employ a veteran team of polished and poised professionals eager to serve you. Bill Kunkel and Janet McClelland lead our talented staff and work hard to ensure that our service creates a memorable experience for you! Our goal is Winning One Customer at a Time, and we are focused on providing superior service to each and every table.
Extensive Value Priced Wine List
If you believe good wine enhances a great meal, youll love our extraordinary wine list and pricing philosophy. With over 550 selections, we offer premium selections at the best prices in Pennsylvania. This allows you the wine lover an opportunity to sample great vintages without paying the usual restaurant mark up of 3X the cost. Unbelievable savings, and great value for you especially during these tough times!
Complimentary Limo Service to Special Events Downtown
The Carlton is well-known and revered as a fine dining restaurant that offers its guests superior values in food, wine and service too. For example, our restaurant was the first to offer complimentary limousine service (we still do) to all cultural events at Heinz Hall, Benedum Center, Byham Theater and the OReilly Theater. Convenient, well-lit, and well attended parking is available in One Mellon Bank Center and complimentary to all evening guests after 4:30 p.m.
Please visit us soon and let me know what we can do to WOW you.
I promise you we will deliver!
