The Venue

Best dinner ever! The crabcake is amazing, more like chunks of crab meat with a little breading drizzled with yummy sauce, aged steak that melts in your mouth and lobster tail. If that wasn't enough the service was just as amazing. Glass was never empty and made sure we enjoyed every course. Worth every penny. Cant wait to go back!

We've come back twice since they opened. Really thrilled to see fine dining and hip resaturant atmosphere in Greensburg. I'm from New England and was skeptical about the lobster until we had it. One of the best lobsters I've ever had (I've had a few). Definitely fresh. I'll give the overall experience as high a rating as the food. I do have a complaint though. We brought our young daughter to dinner and they made her buy the full fixed price meal (Valentine's Day). It was a couple's night of course and she did not impact the table situation for them. I'm still very tweaked about that. That policy enforced upon us felt aggressive and will limit the times we can come in the future. She's a sweat and well behaved young lady but did not want anything on the menu and had already eaten before. It felt very aggressive that she was required to order the full fixed price meal and literally ate none of it.

Went with my husband today for an early dinner, and was my first time trying this place. Had a manhattan to start, which was delicious. I had the crab and shrimp black pasta and it was fantastic. Don't be afraid to try the black squid ink noodles; it really only adds subtle flavor to egg noodles. My husband had the "21" burger. He said his was good as well, and came cooked to the perfect temp. Desserts were good. Will definitely go back.

First time here since One Eleven and really enjoyed it! Great ambiance, interesting and creative menu, food was very good! Husband had the squid ink pasta with seafood and I had the crab cake app with the grilled romaine salad. Both were delicious, however salad was ok. Seemed like it was grilled ahead of time and kept in fridge for a while. Freshly made would have been better! Great cheesecake and French press coffee for dessert! Every dish that we saw coming out of the kitchen looked very appetizing, well-plated and generous portions. Service was a bit slow, but other than that we will definitely come back to try some of the other great items on the menu.

We decided to try The Venue as it's new and different for Greensburg. Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted warmly by the hostess along with an incredible ambiance. Our waiter was very professional, knowledgeable, and polite. The cocktails are mixed well and while not overbearing with alcohol, mixed generously. The menu has a nice range of options from both land and sea. We both had fish choices (salmon and tuna) and both were prepared expertly. We finished our dinner with french press coffee and cheesecake. Both excellent!
It was a great experience and we would highly recommend The Venue for fine dining. Professional from top to bottom! You don't have to go into Pittsburgh for fine dining!
