5th trip to GW Fins. Barracuda and Scallibut are fantastic. We always start with lobster dumplings and end with chocolate mousse bombe.

We had a great meal and experience. My wife order the filet, my daughter had the shrimp and I had the strip. We treated it like family style and shared with everyone. The flavors were excellent and the Pittsburgh style was perfect. The sides are large and shareable too. Jared was our server and he never left us wanting or needing anything, and didn’t hover the entire time either. It was a great balance. We will be back!

We’re traveling for a conference and saw this place was nearby - did not disappoint. The escargot was so good. Absolutely loved my Louisiana Cioppino and the bread pudding flavors and texture was spot on. Would definitely recommend.

My husband won’t go anywhere else for red fish! I had the LA Cobb salad with shrimp and crab and it was the perfect light supper. Service was great and nice ambience, but it is a little noisy. I highly recommend Red Fish Grill!
