The hubby and I hadn't been to Atria's in awhile so we decided to go there for dinner. They had several Italian dishes they were premiering. My husband decided to try the Trii-Color Tortellini. I chose an old favorite-Crab Cakes. You were able to get the Tortellini with chicken or shrimp but my hubby ordered it just as it was. It some of the best tasting pasta we've had. I'm not sure what the sauce was but it was delicious. You really didn't even need chicken or shrimp. It was great the way it was. My crab cakes were delicious. They are mostly lump crab with just enough filler to hold all of the crab together. It was served with Parmesan risotto and asparagus. The risotto was cooked perfectly but a little bland. The asparagus was cooked perfectly. Our server was very friendly and gave us great service. The restaurant is a nice environment that is welcoming and relaxing.

I'm somewhat surprised Atria's didn't get better reviews. I don't think I had a meal her he that I didn't enjoy. Maybe I have just gotten lucky. Staff has always been friendly to us and the restaurant is very clean. I don't recommend eating on the patio in the summer when the windows are open though, there is an excessive amount of flies! At our most recent visit, the waitress was extraordinarily helpful. She got me extra sauce for my left over pasta and extra pita chips for our left over cheese dip - I am not sure this is routine although it should be. I do love Atria's!

I have over 100 check ins here. I have watched it grow and evolve into a much needed classy yet comfortable restaurant bar. I love this place! The food, the professional bartenders, the atmosphere.... It is a great place.

I hosted my sisters bridal shower here... They did a great job and were very helpful. I would highly recommend hosting a dinner party or luncheon with them. Service was great and many guest commented on how they enjoyed their meal.

Lunch with a coworker. We ordered the crab bisque which was very tasty, but a bit on the salty side. We shared 2 lunch entrees which were the bbq meatloaf and fish tacos. Both were good choices. Our server was very friendly and chatty. Our service was very efficient and we enjoyed our meals. The house made peach sangria looked wonderful and would have been ordered if we weren't headed back to the office. Maybe next time!

OK - really 3 1/2 stars but Atria's is the best thing to come to the south hills of Pittsburgh in recent years. In a culinary wasteland, south hills such as it is, Atria's stands out as a pretty classy joint. Very decent upscale bar with two females providing nice and friendly service. A couple of burgers on night one with house made potato chips and slaw, delicious. Second night tilapia dishes just okay. Overall you could do a lot worse, and you usually do in Pittsburgh. But, with Atria's we have now found our hang out when going back to visit friends and family in the Burg...

Disappointing experiences here. I was pumped when Atria's moved into the neighborhood for a place to grab a decent bite and beer but I have recently crossed it off my list. I was taking lunch appointments here for a good period of time but I have started to go elsewhere. It is over priced both in the restaurant and at the bar. The bar is very inviting but always has a nasty wet towel smell that just makes you not want to spend any time at it. This is a shame too because it is a nice looking bar. The best thing on the menu is the Reuben if you are trying it but the last one I had was so bit it ripped through the bread. I will probably try it again in the future but my expectation is low.

Went here while I was in town visiting my Grandparents and my gram, my son and I went here for lunch! Outstanding from the minute we walked in! Hostess was generous and made sure the 3 of us were happy. Our server, Jessica was awesome! She was very sweet, tentative and knew the menu! The bread, wedding soup was delish! We got marg flatbread which we devoured and the cod sandwhich which was served with cocktail and homemade Tatar sauce ... Soooo good! Everything from the atmosphere so friendly staff and menu options was great! Will absolutly go back next time I visit! 5 stars all the way!!

Love this place. It is well maintained/recently remodeled and the food is always good. Zucchini strips are spot on and I often get the Reuben sandwich which is huge and comes with well seasoned homemade chips. Also have had the crab cakes before which were also very good. I have never had a bad meal here. The service is also always quick and friendly.

Typical bistro style menu but come hungry because the portion sizes are massive. Everything seemed fresh and hand made. Wait staff seems friendly and conversational. The manager offered us a fried zuccini sampler because we were first time guests.

I have never had a bad meal here, and the service here is probably the best of my rotation of usual restaurants. May be priced a little higher, but you get what you pay for.
We used to enjoy going to the BRASS RAIL over the years, and we were quite disappointed when it closed. It's an excellent location for us, so we were very happy when ATRIA'S opened in that same spot in the Bill Green shopping center. Personally, I remember when Atria's was a hole-in-the-wall place on the Dormont/Mt. Lebanon border where you went to pick up a six pack of yellow beer, but over time, that original location turned into an upscale sit-down restaurant with excellent food. Well this NEW Atria's location did not disappoint! Our party of six was greeted nicely and seated promptly in the glass-enclosed front room. The location of our big round table was a little awkward for the wait staff (they really couldn't get to a third of our party, and things had to be passed to them) but the seats were comfortable, and the wicker/rattan table with the glass top was handsome. I don't usually notice things like place mats, but I really liked how these ones complimented the table nicely. The youngest folks in our party were impressed with the decor of the place. The room we were seated in turned out to be a little on the noisy side, because three sides of it had very reflective glass walls. We remarked that a room with that much glass should have some plants or some attempt at sound dampening, but ownership went with a very clean and modern look. We were served by Sarah, a lovely young lady who appreciated a large table on a slow Sunday night and who seemed very sincere about making our first visit a good one. She succeeded, and I would ask for her specifically upon my return. Sarah had good support from other staff members who assisted her, and we even received a visit from the executive chef, who mentioned that he'd only been out of the kitchen five times the whole day. He was funny, and when our friend asked him if the fresh salmon being served that evening "had a name," he responded, "Tom Brady." The first thing we noticed was a rather limited tap selection. Guinness was available, but we opted for Southern Tier 2X IPA, thankful that there was at least one really good beer on hand. Why upscale restaurants waste their taps on multiple "light" beers is a mystery to me. The first thing that came out of the kitchen were our soups. The tortilla soup was richly seasoned, thick, and excellent. The sherry crab bisque must have been really good too, based on our friend's "mmmmmm" sounds. I was intrigued by the "winter warmer" selections on the top of the menu, and so I opted for the "char-grilled meatloaf stack." It was excellent. The meatloaf slices were grilled to perfection so every inch had a nice crunch on the outside with nice moisture on the inside. The barbecue sauce was sweet and unique. My dining partner immediately helped herself to some of the jalapeno cornbread on the bottom of the stack. It was firm, but moist and delicious, with just the right amount of sweetness. The smashed redskin potatoes with onion straws topped off the stack, and their flavor was just what I had hoped for. This was a wonderfully conceived and executed dish, and I even took a picture of it. (I will attempt to re-create this one at home, giving all credit to Justin, the chef at Atria's.) Fortunately for me, my dining partner followed my friend's lead an ordered a dish with a fresh salmon steak. She got the flame-grilled salmon salad. Not only was it a very nice salad with a very interesting poppyseed dressing, it came with a nicely-sized and perfectly grilled piece of very lightly smoked salmon. It was so tender and moist, with just a little bit rare in the middle, the way salmon is supposed to be done. Kudos to the kitchen for not overcooking "Tom Brady." Around the rest of the table, everyone was all smiles. One of our party ordered the petite filet with crab cakes. She said her filet was the best she'd had, and the color in the middle was just right for medium rare. The crab cake was a good size, and she ended up saving most of it for later. I wish I had gotten a taste, because she raved about it and a good crab cake makes me smile too! Her partner got an interesting pasta dish called "fra diablo," with sausage, chicken and banana peppers. He likes the spicy things in life, and he was quite impressed with this dish. My foodie friend has a miso-glazed salmon, and he thought it was among the best-prepared pieces he had ever tasted. I am looking foward to returning to Atria's soon, as there were several menu items that intrigued me, and I thought the prices were moderate for food this good. Maybe I'll even try the hand-breaded cod sandwiches in honor of the old Brass Rail, which had my favorite fish sandwich in the area.

After having been at this Atrias several times since opening they have gotten it spot on! Service and food rivals the original and our other favorite Murrysville location! Chef came out to see how we liked our dishes which were amazing and perfectly prepared! So happy that this convenient location got it together!!

People on and off of Yelp often claim that I never eat at home. If they only knew me from reading of my gastronomic exploits, they'd appear to be correct. For example, last Friday night, a then culinarily-challenged Kay needed to do some running around in the 15236 zip code, and knowing that the good old Bill Green Shopping Center houses an Atria's franchise, we decided to dine there before "putzying arahnd" in the dollar stores of the South Hills as us 'Burgh folk say. This newest (?) location is rather glamorous, making it the opposite number of its homier Mt. Lebanon progenitor. One might think Michael Buble could waltz in at any moment for drinks and caviar on crackers. Instead, fare made famous by larger, nationwide chains comprises the gist of the menu. Expect steaks, pasta, meatloaf, burgers, sliders, and nachos to challenge your decision-making skills while putting in an order. Kay and I began with an order of Pot Roast Nachos. The bed of sturdy, crunch-mad tortilla chips were garnished with jalapenos, sour cream, tomatoes, cheddar jack cheese, scallions, and of course were topped off with that luscious, steaming shreds of the exquisitely braised beef. Our serving was so greathearted, it could have made for a shareable, pizza-like meal in its own right combined with my fine, bountiful ranch-dressed Cobb-ish "House" salad (hardboiled egg, cheese, croutons, diced tomatoes, greens, and bacon were on the plate) and dessert. Alas, I was unable to finish my full rack of Baby Back Ribs, something I probably had no business ordering at a chain restaurant, an act that and will likely incur the wrath of the barbecue orthodoxy. I have to apologize to the Southern Death Cult for committing yet more heresy, but it must be said that the sticky, honeyed pork pulled off its bones without coercion while hickory whispered in the winds. Perhaps it wasn't the zenith of BBQ, but damn, if this is the worst, then God owns a smoker and uses with regularity, holding massive cookouts for all the dear departed souls in Heaven. The dessert we double-teamed was a "Chef's Whim" or "special" or something along those lines titled the Chocolate Mousse Crepe. Fluffy, grey, cocoa-infused foam filled thin, slightly crispy and tortilla-esque pancakes that were embellished by the standard whipped cream. hot fudge laces, and caramel streaks. Filling the crepes with mousse smacked of excess. Spooning the mousse from a goblet or tall glass with chantilly to roof it would have been an exercise in simple, pleasurable elegance. Nonetheless, no one heard us grumble over this more than acceptable confection. It took me a good number of years to consider Atria's, and now I'm left considering a visit to all of their restaurants. After all, this crabcake lover's gotta see if they truly are "The Best in the 'Burgh" as stated in the bill of fare. I almost asked for that in lieu of the ribs too... P.S. Keith, our server, was class personified and made no missteps during our dinner.

I arranged for a business networking luncheon at Atrias. I arrived late and the staff had already seated my colleagues, got their drinks, and covered for me. The menu is simple and efficient, though the prices are about 10-20% higher than I thought was justified for salads, sandwiches, and burgers. The decor is tastefully done in an upscale manner, which added to the ambiance provided by the low light and low music. No issues with the food. I will likely try to have dinner here soon and see what else the kitchen can produce.

The food tonight was as expected but the service that we received from Sydney was fantastic! What a wonderfully personable and friendly young woman! Explained new items on the menu, had beverage refills instantly, always checking to see if anything was needed and always had a smile! The five star review is for the outstanding service from Sydney!

The restaurant itself is extremely clean. The staff seems to pay attention to detail. Each food item that was ordered had supreme presentation. It was also tasty. This included the salad, zucchini appetizer,and pasta dish.Compared to similar dishes in the area, the prices were a few dollars more here.

My boyfriend's family and I went for dinner on Mother's Day. We made a reservation for 7:15. We were not actually sat until about 7:35, which we understood since it was a very busy day for the restaurant. That in itself was not really a problem, but in combination with the rest of the evening, it was kind of annoying... Mother's Day features an abridged menu. Meh, the choices were blah. No entree salads, no burgers, only one pasta dish. Once sat, the waitress came to take our drink orders right away, which were all waters and sodas. We did not actually receive our drinks for another 15 minutes, sans straws or lemons (which we asked for). Then she did not take our food orders for another 15 minutes after that. We had some bread, and someone came over to ask if we wanted more bread. We said yes, and we never ever received it. When we got our food, she asked me if I would like some tarter or cocktail sauce with my crabcakes. I said I would please like some tarter. I never received it. After waiting to eat for over five minutes, I decided to just eat them without the sauce. She never once came to check on our table or I would have politely reminded her. My boyfriend's sister, who was eating ribs, needed napkins. She only had one, and the waitress never gave her extra. If the waitress/server assistant had stopped by or even made herself available near the table, we would have asked for extra napkins. My boyfriend and his sister never received refills on their sodas even once, even though they asked multiple times. Afterwards, we asked for some boxes. Some of the food was dropped on the floor, so we had to wait for the kitchen to make more to take home. It was nice to offer replacement food, but it meant we were waiting even longer for a dinner that had already taken 2 hours. The waitress may have been conscious of the fact that she gave terrible service because when she dropped off the check for signature at the end of the meal, she said nothing. No acknowledgement or thank you whatsoever. We never once complained or acted unpleasant to the waitress or anyone else in the restaurant. Seriously the worst experience I have ever had in a restaurant. And I recognize it was a busy day. I'm extremely patient about that, being in the service industry myself. But holy crap was that service horrible. Update: atrias has since contacted me to apologize.

My wife and I live in DC and were visiting family in the area. We took advantage of the free babysitting to have an evening out. With nothing but chain restaurants and mediocre food in the area, we decided to try this restaurant. We were definitely surprised. It seems, this restaurant has the quality of downtown eating in the suburbs. Service was good - we had a newer waitress, but she was great. Food was fine - nothing really noteworthy, but no complaints either. Everything was fresh, cooked properly, and tasted great.

What can I say...the service was AMAZING the food was wonderful and the atmosphere was perfect. Good service is hard to find nowadays but not one time during our meal did we need to ask for anything! Our drinks were filled and we were not asked 10 times what we were drinking. Our server was very knowledgable of the menu and helpful in making suggestions. We ended up getting an appetizer and dessert in addition to our meals (which we didn't plan on doing) but the food was so good and the atmosphere was comfortable. We can't wait to go back again!!!

LOVE that this gem is so close by! Their food is ALWAYS spot on, and the service is usually pretty spot on as well. The only problem I have with this place is that it is typically so busy that if you don't make a reservation...you will likely need to wait for a table. The upside of that is that the bartenders are pretty good and so bellying up to the bar is a good way to wait. Update: 5/1/2015 - Review of Mount Lebanon location (1 Star) I'd like to say that the Pleasant Hills location exceeds on every level over the original location in Mount Lebanon...TWO FOLD! It's a shame that the flagship of this chain is the worst of them all...they service was awful, and the food was not nearly as good. They should send their management over to this location to get some pointers on how to do things right!

A nice new Atria's. The atmosphere is split between the front with a patio type feel that has large glass windows and a lot of sun light, a big U-shaped bar in the middle, and a more upscale darker back room. It was crowded and a little noisy. The parking lot for the shopping center (Bill Green) was pretty full with Atria's and the other stores clientele. The food is typical Atria's. The Sherry Crab Bisque was OK...a little to cheesy. Have found the pasta's are pretty good and ordered the Nonna's Sunday pasta, which has some sausage and slow cooked beef. Very tasty, the brisket really added some nice flavors to go along with the sausage. Our waitress had trouble answering a few questions but a waiter helped out and said the Nonna's pasta was his fav. Service was pretty good and the meal came out before some other tables that were seated before ours, maybe they ordered after us.

With about 8 locations, Atria's has a restaurant that probably close to you in the Pittsburgh area. This one in the Bill Green Shopping Center just opened within the year. It is swanky as hell inside, and our server Keith was really cool. For some reason, the menu at this Atria's is a little different from the others (we've also been to the original one in Mt. Lebo. we tried to get into the one at PNC Park, but it was too crowded). Anyway, we had the pot roast nachos for an app, and they ruled. Combined with a salad for each, and a dessert to share, this was big enough to feed two. My Pork filet gorgonzola was as beautiful as it was delish. they're 3 medallions wrapped in bacon, topped with cheese, bbq sauce, and placed onto potato pancakes. dessert was a "chef's whim" in the chocolate mousse crepes that darren and I shared. awesome! the service was tops too!

I went to Atrias for lunch yesterday. I ordered beer battered fish and chips and a cup of Crab Bisque. The soup was lukewarm. I told the server who went back to turn up the heat on the pot. Then my fish arrived. The first bite was mushy but I thought it was my imagination. I continued to eat, the fish was cooked by put the batter was not. I should have gone to Arby's, my stomach and my wallet would have been happier.

The Bird and I have been wanting to try the new Atria's since hearing about its opening. I have never been to any Atria's but have heard good things. We were able to get a 5:45pm reservation but arrived 30 min. early and was able to be seated after a 10 min. wait. (Reservations are recommended). This was NOT the old Brass Rail with a new sign. The inside was completely remodeled with warm and a chic interior. Very nice. The Bird started with the Crab Bisque which was really good after she let me try a spoonful. I had the Chopped Salad that was a true chopped salad. I was pleased with the nice portion. Our waitress was very nice and provided great service. (Love it when my drink is almost empty and a newly filled glass appears.) The Bird ordered off of the winter menu and went with the Beef Stroganoff. It came in a large bowl and she said was very flavorful. She thought it could have had a little more beef or less noodles to make it more balanced. I of course went with the steak. Twin 4oz. Fillets with a crusted horseradish topping. They were tremendous. Perfectly seared, flavored, and cooked (medium was a true medium.). The meal came with mixed vegetables and potatoes. Not a fan of the vegetables and the next time would ask for broccoli or asparagus. If you know the Bird, then you know we had to try a dessert. The dessert choices were limited but they did have carrot cake so we got a piece to go. It was not a huge piece but big enough to share but we both could have eaten our own piece and not felt too much like a pig. The cake by the way was delicious. Our bill came in under $60 which I thought wasn't that bad considering the meal, service, and atmosphere. (No alcohol this visit.) Less than two miles from our home I see this becoming a regular place. (I just happen to have a lunch meeting there on Monday and am looking forward to trying the large chopped chicken salad.)

I write a food blog sharing positive dining experiences in Pittsburgh, but I feel obligated to share my recent disaster story here. I've eaten at many Atria's in my life and have never had such an awful experience. 1) both my mother-in-law and PID got filets. they asked for medium, and both received COMPLETELY raw filets. Mama's was actually cold to the touch, so we sent it back to the kitchen. 2) the manager returned with it, moments later, not remotely fixed. it was still mooing. cooking steak is kitchen 101. returning a "sent back" steak with zero improvements is unacceptable 3) PID's "fire grilled" asparagus tasted like lighter fluid. 100% chemical. it actually made me NERVOUS that he had eaten one. 4) Mama wound up giving up on the steak and ordered a reuben sandwich because she wanted something reliable. when the manager brought it it had no russian dressing on it - basically the defining ingredient of a reuben. 5) the moment we sent our steak back, our server COMPLETELY disappeared. gone. never game back once. the manager took care of bringing mama's new meal's and PID's new asparagus, but we never once saw our server again. REALLY!?!?!?! it wasn't her fault the cook was incredibly off his game. she didn't need to disappear. really incredibly disappointed and will never be going back. we were literally concerned about the quality of our food and if our server found it acceptable to disappear after a poor experience, i can't imagine how she'd be if we had a good one. so sad. please reconsider before coming to the pleasant hills location.

It's good American food---what more is there to say? American cuisine isn't my favorite by any stretch, but for those who love it, this is good. Here's a breakdown of what we ordered: Tuna appetizer - Tasty tuna, though the portion was a bit small. The sesame ginger dressing on the salad that comes with it was tasty, though I'd ask them to skip the fried noodles. Crab Cakes - I don't usually crab cakes anywhere because no one beats Monterey Bay, but these were good. Light on breading and heavy on the crab, just as they should be. Twin Filets - The filets are very tender, but cooked over wood. If you like a smoked, campfire flavor, you're in luck. If you don't, order something else. Swordfish - Tasty with the pineapple chutney. Order it medium rare. Limoncello - Light, airy cake with a whipped lemon pudding filling. Very tasty.

The food was good but the service killed the evening. We sat at the bar and that's where troubles began. There were some placemats,straws, and napkins left over from the people who were sitting there before us. After waiting about 10 minutes the bartender finally acknowledged us and I ordered drinks. I asked the bartender if it was possible to clean up the mess that was in front of us (bus the table). The bartender looked at me and was obviously inconvenienced by my request. The bartender stated that they put mats down for people who eat at the bar. I explained to her that was all good and well but since the mess in front of us wasn't ours, it would be great of somebody could clean it up. The bartender was kind of shitty. She moved everything and left the dirty sticky placemats. I then moved the placemats myself. What was left was a giant sticky area directly in front of us. I asked again if it was possible to have the sticky area directly in front of me wiped down and the bartender just kind of ignored me. I finally just asked her for a bar rag and cleaned it up and wiped it down myself. Once at our table the server was nice enough, but obviously had way too many tables assigned to her. The service was slow. The food was okay, and I'm sure I would have had a better experience with my meal had the service been better. If you're going to give this place a try do not do it at any time when there are anywhere near busy. I have eaten at the Mount Lebanon location numerous times and I've never had a bad experience. From this point on I will not return to the Pleasant Hills location and I will only dine at the Mount Lebanon location.

In a culinary wasteland, south hills such as it is, Atria's stands out as a pretty classy joint. Very decent upscale bar with two females providing nice and friendly service. A couple of burgers on night one with house made potato chips and slaw, delicious. Second night tilapia dishes just okay. Overall you could do a lot worse, and you usually do in Pittsburgh.

I was taking lunch appointments here for a good period of time but I have started to go elsewhere. It is over priced both in the restaurant and at the bar. The bar is very inviting but always has a nasty wet towel smell that just makes you not want to spend any time at it. This is a shame too because it is a nice looking bar. The best thing on the menu is the Reuben if you are trying it but the last one I had was so bit it ripped through the bread. I will probably try it again in the future but my expectation is low.

2.5 really and thats only for the food. Service gets 0! So decided to give this place another try and went for thanksgiving dinner. The food was much better but the service was horrible!!! We waited about 10 min for our waitress to come and get us our first round of drinks and when she arrived i realized she saw us being sat because we were right next to the servers station and she was chatting with another waiter. We were suppose to get bread and didn't and when my fiancé ordered a beer when our main course came it didn't come until he was done with his meal. I might have been a little more understanding if the restaurant was full but there were at least 6 open tables around us at 630. And at dessert she offered my son ice cream which a 4 year old will choose anytime and then charged us even though his meal came with a dessert that did say pumpkin or apple pie but if that's the case he should have been given a piece to take home. Now onto the food which is the only reason this isn't a 1 star review. I ordered the mixed green salad that had cranberries, apples, pecans and goat cheese. It was much better the the salad I had the first time. The main course was very good. My fiancé got ham and I got turkey and we shared. The stuffing was good and I liked that there mashed potatoes were the clumpy kind. My son had the same thing we did just in a smaller portion. The dessert was lack luster. I wish they would have done something other then just pumpkin and apple pie. And they were out of whip cream so that's always a downer. But over all the food was great. The service however was just horrible!!!

We used to enjoy going to the BRASS RAIL over the years, and we were quite disappointed when it closed. It's an excellent location for us, so we were very happy when ATRIA'S opened in that same spot in the Bill Green shopping center. Personally, I remember when Atria's was a hole-in-the-wall place on the Dormont/Mt. Lebanon border where you went to pick up a six pack of yellow beer, but over time, that original location turned into an upscale sit-down restaurant with excellent food. Well this NEW Atria's location did not disappoint! Our party of six was greeted nicely and seated promptly in the glass-enclosed front room. The location of our big round table was a little awkward for the wait staff (they really couldn't get to a third of our party, and things had to be passed to them) but the seats were comfortable, and the wicker/rattan table with the glass top was handsome. I don't usually notice things like place mats, but I really liked how these ones complimented the table nicely. The youngest folks in our party were impressed with the decor of the place. The room we were seated in turned out to be a little on the noisy side, because three sides of it had very reflective glass walls. We remarked that a room with that much glass should have some plants or some attempt at sound dampening, but ownership went with a very clean and modern look. We were served by Sarah, a lovely young lady who appreciated a large table on a slow Sunday night and who seemed very sincere about making our first visit a good one. She succeeded, and I would ask for her specifically upon my return. Sarah had good support from other staff members who assisted her, and we even received a visit from the executive chef, who mentioned that he'd only been out of the kitchen five times the whole day. He was funny, and when our friend asked him if the fresh salmon being served that evening "had a name," he responded, "Tom Brady." The first thing we noticed was a rather limited tap selection. Guinness was available, but we opted for Southern Tier 2X IPA, thankful that there was at least one really good beer on hand. Why upscale restaurants waste their taps on multiple "light" beers is a mystery to me. The first thing that came out of the kitchen were our soups. The tortilla soup was richly seasoned, thick, and excellent. The sherry crab bisque must have been really good too, based on our friend's "mmmmmm" sounds. I was intrigued by the "winter warmer" selections on the top of the menu, and so I opted for the "char-grilled meatloaf stack." It was excellent. The meatloaf slices were grilled to perfection so every inch had a nice crunch on the outside with nice moisture on the inside. The barbecue sauce was sweet and unique. My dining partner immediately helped herself to some of the jalapeno cornbread on the bottom of the stack. It was firm, but moist and delicious, with just the right amount of sweetness. The smashed redskin potatoes with onion straws topped off the stack, and their flavor was just what I had hoped for. This was a wonderfully conceived and executed dish, and I even took a picture of it. (I will attempt to re-create this one at home, giving all credit to Justin, the chef at Atria's.) Fortunately for me, my dining partner followed my friend's lead an ordered a dish with a fresh salmon steak. She got the flame-grilled salmon salad. Not only was it a very nice salad with a very interesting poppyseed dressing, it came with a nicely-sized and perfectly grilled piece of very lightly smoked salmon. It was so tender and moist, with just a little bit rare in the middle, the way salmon is supposed to be done. Kudos to the kitchen for not overcooking "Tom Brady." Around the rest of the table, everyone was all smiles. One of our party ordered the petite filet with crab cakes. She said her filet was the best she'd had, and the color in the middle was just right for medium rare. The crab cake was a good size, and she ended up saving most of it for later. I wish I had gotten a taste, because she raved about it and a good crab cake makes me smile too! Her partner got an interesting pasta dish called "fra diablo," with sausage, chicken and banana peppers. He likes the spicy things in life, and he was quite impressed with this dish. My foodie friend has a miso-glazed salmon, and he thought it was among the best-prepared pieces he had ever tasted. I am looking foward to returning to Atria's soon, as there were several menu items that intrigued me, and I thought the prices were moderate for food this good. Maybe I'll even try the hand-breaded cod sandwiches in honor of the old Brass Rail, which had my favorite fish sandwich in the area.

After having been at this Atrias several times since opening they have gotten it spot on! Service and food rivals the original and our other favorite Murrysville location! Chef came out to see how we liked our dishes which were amazing and perfectly prepared! So happy that this convenient location got it together!!

People on and off of Yelp often claim that I never eat at home. If they only knew me from reading of my gastronomic exploits, they'd appear to be correct. For example, last Friday night, a then culinarily-challenged Kay needed to do some running around in the 15236 zip code, and knowing that the good old Bill Green Shopping Center houses an Atria's franchise, we decided to dine there before "putzying arahnd" in the dollar stores of the South Hills as us 'Burgh folk say. This newest (?) location is rather glamorous, making it the opposite number of its homier Mt. Lebanon progenitor. One might think Michael Buble could waltz in at any moment for drinks and caviar on crackers. Instead, fare made famous by larger, nationwide chains comprises the gist of the menu. Expect steaks, pasta, meatloaf, burgers, sliders, and nachos to challenge your decision-making skills while putting in an order. Kay and I began with an order of Pot Roast Nachos. The bed of sturdy, crunch-mad tortilla chips were garnished with jalapenos, sour cream, tomatoes, cheddar jack cheese, scallions, and of course were topped off with that luscious, steaming shreds of the exquisitely braised beef. Our serving was so greathearted, it could have made for a shareable, pizza-like meal in its own right combined with my fine, bountiful ranch-dressed Cobb-ish "House" salad (hardboiled egg, cheese, croutons, diced tomatoes, greens, and bacon were on the plate) and dessert. Alas, I was unable to finish my full rack of Baby Back Ribs, something I probably had no business ordering at a chain restaurant, an act that and will likely incur the wrath of the barbecue orthodoxy. I have to apologize to the Southern Death Cult for committing yet more heresy, but it must be said that the sticky, honeyed pork pulled off its bones without coercion while hickory whispered in the winds. Perhaps it wasn't the zenith of BBQ, but damn, if this is the worst, then God owns a smoker and uses with regularity, holding massive cookouts for all the dear departed souls in Heaven. The dessert we double-teamed was a "Chef's Whim" or "special" or something along those lines titled the Chocolate Mousse Crepe. Fluffy, grey, cocoa-infused foam filled thin, slightly crispy and tortilla-esque pancakes that were embellished by the standard whipped cream. hot fudge laces, and caramel streaks. Filling the crepes with mousse smacked of excess. Spooning the mousse from a goblet or tall glass with chantilly to roof it would have been an exercise in simple, pleasurable elegance. Nonetheless, no one heard us grumble over this more than acceptable confection. It took me a good number of years to consider Atria's, and now I'm left considering a visit to all of their restaurants. After all, this crabcake lover's gotta see if they truly are "The Best in the 'Burgh" as stated in the bill of fare. I almost asked for that in lieu of the ribs too... P.S. Keith, our server, was class personified and made no missteps during our dinner.

I arranged for a business networking luncheon at Atrias. I arrived late and the staff had already seated my colleagues, got their drinks, and covered for me. The menu is simple and efficient, though the prices are about 10-20% higher than I thought was justified for salads, sandwiches, and burgers. The decor is tastefully done in an upscale manner, which added to the ambiance provided by the low light and low music. No issues with the food. I will likely try to have dinner here soon and see what else the kitchen can produce.

The food tonight was as expected but the service that we received from Sydney was fantastic! What a wonderfully personable and friendly young woman! Explained new items on the menu, had beverage refills instantly, always checking to see if anything was needed and always had a smile! The five star review is for the outstanding service from Sydney!

Spectacular Atmosphere. The food is Good But, definitely Overpriced..... The workers are very nice. Only bad thing is if you go there and order To Go, you have to wait a Very Long Time to receive your order.....
(3)Scott S.
The restaurant itself is extremely clean. The staff seems to pay attention to detail. Each food item that was ordered had supreme presentation. It was also tasty. This included the salad, zucchini appetizer,and pasta dish.Compared to similar dishes in the area, the prices were a few dollars more here.

My boyfriend's family and I went for dinner on Mother's Day. We made a reservation for 7:15. We were not actually sat until about 7:35, which we understood since it was a very busy day for the restaurant. That in itself was not really a problem, but in combination with the rest of the evening, it was kind of annoying... Mother's Day features an abridged menu. Meh, the choices were blah. No entree salads, no burgers, only one pasta dish. Once sat, the waitress came to take our drink orders right away, which were all waters and sodas. We did not actually receive our drinks for another 15 minutes, sans straws or lemons (which we asked for). Then she did not take our food orders for another 15 minutes after that. We had some bread, and someone came over to ask if we wanted more bread. We said yes, and we never ever received it. When we got our food, she asked me if I would like some tarter or cocktail sauce with my crabcakes. I said I would please like some tarter. I never received it. After waiting to eat for over five minutes, I decided to just eat them without the sauce. She never once came to check on our table or I would have politely reminded her. My boyfriend's sister, who was eating ribs, needed napkins. She only had one, and the waitress never gave her extra. If the waitress/server assistant had stopped by or even made herself available near the table, we would have asked for extra napkins. My boyfriend and his sister never received refills on their sodas even once, even though they asked multiple times. Afterwards, we asked for some boxes. Some of the food was dropped on the floor, so we had to wait for the kitchen to make more to take home. It was nice to offer replacement food, but it meant we were waiting even longer for a dinner that had already taken 2 hours. The waitress may have been conscious of the fact that she gave terrible service because when she dropped off the check for signature at the end of the meal, she said nothing. No acknowledgement or thank you whatsoever. We never once complained or acted unpleasant to the waitress or anyone else in the restaurant. Seriously the worst experience I have ever had in a restaurant. And I recognize it was a busy day. I'm extremely patient about that, being in the service industry myself. But holy crap was that service horrible. Update: atrias has since contacted me to apologize.

My wife and I live in DC and were visiting family in the area. We took advantage of the free babysitting to have an evening out. With nothing but chain restaurants and mediocre food in the area, we decided to try this restaurant. We were definitely surprised. It seems, this restaurant has the quality of downtown eating in the suburbs. Service was good - we had a newer waitress, but she was great. Food was fine - nothing really noteworthy, but no complaints either. Everything was fresh, cooked properly, and tasted great.

What can I say...the service was AMAZING the food was wonderful and the atmosphere was perfect. Good service is hard to find nowadays but not one time during our meal did we need to ask for anything! Our drinks were filled and we were not asked 10 times what we were drinking. Our server was very knowledgable of the menu and helpful in making suggestions. We ended up getting an appetizer and dessert in addition to our meals (which we didn't plan on doing) but the food was so good and the atmosphere was comfortable. We can't wait to go back again!!!

LOVE that this gem is so close by! Their food is ALWAYS spot on, and the service is usually pretty spot on as well. The only problem I have with this place is that it is typically so busy that if you don't make a reservation...you will likely need to wait for a table. The upside of that is that the bartenders are pretty good and so bellying up to the bar is a good way to wait. Update: 5/1/2015 - Review of Mount Lebanon location (1 Star) I'd like to say that the Pleasant Hills location exceeds on every level over the original location in Mount Lebanon...TWO FOLD! It's a shame that the flagship of this chain is the worst of them all...they service was awful, and the food was not nearly as good. They should send their management over to this location to get some pointers on how to do things right!

A nice new Atria's. The atmosphere is split between the front with a patio type feel that has large glass windows and a lot of sun light, a big U-shaped bar in the middle, and a more upscale darker back room. It was crowded and a little noisy. The parking lot for the shopping center (Bill Green) was pretty full with Atria's and the other stores clientele. The food is typical Atria's. The Sherry Crab Bisque was OK...a little to cheesy. Have found the pasta's are pretty good and ordered the Nonna's Sunday pasta, which has some sausage and slow cooked beef. Very tasty, the brisket really added some nice flavors to go along with the sausage. Our waitress had trouble answering a few questions but a waiter helped out and said the Nonna's pasta was his fav. Service was pretty good and the meal came out before some other tables that were seated before ours, maybe they ordered after us.

With about 8 locations, Atria's has a restaurant that probably close to you in the Pittsburgh area. This one in the Bill Green Shopping Center just opened within the year. It is swanky as hell inside, and our server Keith was really cool. For some reason, the menu at this Atria's is a little different from the others (we've also been to the original one in Mt. Lebo. we tried to get into the one at PNC Park, but it was too crowded). Anyway, we had the pot roast nachos for an app, and they ruled. Combined with a salad for each, and a dessert to share, this was big enough to feed two. My Pork filet gorgonzola was as beautiful as it was delish. they're 3 medallions wrapped in bacon, topped with cheese, bbq sauce, and placed onto potato pancakes. dessert was a "chef's whim" in the chocolate mousse crepes that darren and I shared. awesome! the service was tops too!

I went to Atrias for lunch yesterday. I ordered beer battered fish and chips and a cup of Crab Bisque. The soup was lukewarm. I told the server who went back to turn up the heat on the pot. Then my fish arrived. The first bite was mushy but I thought it was my imagination. I continued to eat, the fish was cooked by put the batter was not. I should have gone to Arby's, my stomach and my wallet would have been happier.

The Bird and I have been wanting to try the new Atria's since hearing about its opening. I have never been to any Atria's but have heard good things. We were able to get a 5:45pm reservation but arrived 30 min. early and was able to be seated after a 10 min. wait. (Reservations are recommended). This was NOT the old Brass Rail with a new sign. The inside was completely remodeled with warm and a chic interior. Very nice. The Bird started with the Crab Bisque which was really good after she let me try a spoonful. I had the Chopped Salad that was a true chopped salad. I was pleased with the nice portion. Our waitress was very nice and provided great service. (Love it when my drink is almost empty and a newly filled glass appears.) The Bird ordered off of the winter menu and went with the Beef Stroganoff. It came in a large bowl and she said was very flavorful. She thought it could have had a little more beef or less noodles to make it more balanced. I of course went with the steak. Twin 4oz. Fillets with a crusted horseradish topping. They were tremendous. Perfectly seared, flavored, and cooked (medium was a true medium.). The meal came with mixed vegetables and potatoes. Not a fan of the vegetables and the next time would ask for broccoli or asparagus. If you know the Bird, then you know we had to try a dessert. The dessert choices were limited but they did have carrot cake so we got a piece to go. It was not a huge piece but big enough to share but we both could have eaten our own piece and not felt too much like a pig. The cake by the way was delicious. Our bill came in under $60 which I thought wasn't that bad considering the meal, service, and atmosphere. (No alcohol this visit.) Less than two miles from our home I see this becoming a regular place. (I just happen to have a lunch meeting there on Monday and am looking forward to trying the large chopped chicken salad.)

I write a food blog sharing positive dining experiences in Pittsburgh, but I feel obligated to share my recent disaster story here. I've eaten at many Atria's in my life and have never had such an awful experience. 1) both my mother-in-law and PID got filets. they asked for medium, and both received COMPLETELY raw filets. Mama's was actually cold to the touch, so we sent it back to the kitchen. 2) the manager returned with it, moments later, not remotely fixed. it was still mooing. cooking steak is kitchen 101. returning a "sent back" steak with zero improvements is unacceptable 3) PID's "fire grilled" asparagus tasted like lighter fluid. 100% chemical. it actually made me NERVOUS that he had eaten one. 4) Mama wound up giving up on the steak and ordered a reuben sandwich because she wanted something reliable. when the manager brought it it had no russian dressing on it - basically the defining ingredient of a reuben. 5) the moment we sent our steak back, our server COMPLETELY disappeared. gone. never game back once. the manager took care of bringing mama's new meal's and PID's new asparagus, but we never once saw our server again. REALLY!?!?!?! it wasn't her fault the cook was incredibly off his game. she didn't need to disappear. really incredibly disappointed and will never be going back. we were literally concerned about the quality of our food and if our server found it acceptable to disappear after a poor experience, i can't imagine how she'd be if we had a good one. so sad. please reconsider before coming to the pleasant hills location.

It's good American food---what more is there to say? American cuisine isn't my favorite by any stretch, but for those who love it, this is good. Here's a breakdown of what we ordered: Tuna appetizer - Tasty tuna, though the portion was a bit small. The sesame ginger dressing on the salad that comes with it was tasty, though I'd ask them to skip the fried noodles. Crab Cakes - I don't usually crab cakes anywhere because no one beats Monterey Bay, but these were good. Light on breading and heavy on the crab, just as they should be. Twin Filets - The filets are very tender, but cooked over wood. If you like a smoked, campfire flavor, you're in luck. If you don't, order something else. Swordfish - Tasty with the pineapple chutney. Order it medium rare. Limoncello - Light, airy cake with a whipped lemon pudding filling. Very tasty.

New management is improving the service

Wow! Can't believe there is a stylish restaurant like this in Bill Green's. This is more pierogi and shot and beer territory. Nice wine list, intelligent wait staff and decent food. Try the chicken piccata.

The food was good but the service killed the evening. We sat at the bar and that's where troubles began. There were some placemats,straws, and napkins left over from the people who were sitting there before us. After waiting about 10 minutes the bartender finally acknowledged us and I ordered drinks. I asked the bartender if it was possible to clean up the mess that was in front of us (bus the table). The bartender looked at me and was obviously inconvenienced by my request. The bartender stated that they put mats down for people who eat at the bar. I explained to her that was all good and well but since the mess in front of us wasn't ours, it would be great of somebody could clean it up. The bartender was kind of shitty. She moved everything and left the dirty sticky placemats. I then moved the placemats myself. What was left was a giant sticky area directly in front of us. I asked again if it was possible to have the sticky area directly in front of me wiped down and the bartender just kind of ignored me. I finally just asked her for a bar rag and cleaned it up and wiped it down myself. Once at our table the server was nice enough, but obviously had way too many tables assigned to her. The service was slow. The food was okay, and I'm sure I would have had a better experience with my meal had the service been better. If you're going to give this place a try do not do it at any time when there are anywhere near busy. I have eaten at the Mount Lebanon location numerous times and I've never had a bad experience. From this point on I will not return to the Pleasant Hills location and I will only dine at the Mount Lebanon location.

My parents took me and my boyfriend here for lunch and I was pleasantly surprised. This place doesn't look like much outside but inside is very nice. The menu was had many things I did not expect to see in Pittsburgh, along with many I did. I will definitely go here again and recommend it!
