★★★★★ 5.0 Dalton Miller · Feb 2026

Genuinely one of the very best restaurants in Pittsburgh(-ish). I've been here probably 6 times now, twice for burgers, the rest for their regular menu. I cannot get over how genuinely excellent everything on the menu is. Likely the best potatoes, and fish I've had of any restaurant in the city. Jillian is a very attentive owner making time to spend a bit with each guest while dining, and has a phenomenal memory for repeat guests, she & the rest of the staff are so wonderful. Absolutely worth going out of your way to dine here.

My husband and I went to Jillian's the Thursday before Valentine's Day. By far, this was such a nice intimate setting along with a very attentive wait staff. Each of the menu items were given to us with a detailed description, my for allergies were promptly paid attention to and the service was top notch. Everything from the drinks, to the main course, to dessert were thoughtfully crafted and you could see it and taste it. We can't wait to come back! Thank you Jillian's!

There is a running joke between my friends and family that every single time I go out to eat, my food is prepared incorrectly and my service is terrible. I'm in the service industry. I would eat a raw steak before I complained. It's been laughable up to this point. Thank God I went to Jillian's. The losing streak is finally over. The warm welcome we received when we walked through the door set the tone. We waited a bit for our table - which after finishing our meal, we didn't want to leave either. After we sat, we ordered the following; Duck Fat Potatoes Truffle Fries Dozen Oysters 1/2 Chicken Dry-Aged Tomahawk Ribeye Burger Pistachio Cheesecake Creme Brulee Grilled Stickies Spicy Pickle Martinis 10 out of 10. Start to finish. No notes. That's the review. Jillian runs the FOH like a cha

I can’t say enough incredible things about this place. We came to celebrate my friend’s 30th birthday—she had been here before, specifically requested it again, and now I completely understand why. From the moment we walked in, it was one of the best restaurant experiences any of us have ever had. The entire team was warm, genuine, and welcoming—they made us feel like we were old friends walking into their home. And the food… unbelievable. There were three of us and we shared everything family-style. We started with the fried brie, steak tartar, baked oysters, and the beets—every single bite was perfection. For dinner, we went all in with the mushrooms, duck-fat potatoes, and a tomahawk steak to share. Each dish was cooked flawlessly, full of flavor, and left us already excited for the n

★★★★★ 5.0 Kallie McShea · Aug 2025

Truly an unreal food experience. The thought and care behind every dish, from start to finish is apparent in every bite. The service is impeccable. We came for our wedding anniversary tonight. We started with the chips & dip and baked oysters, then had the mushrooms, truffle fries, and the tomahawk. Every single thing was insanely delicious. We ended the night with the pistachio cheesecake which maybe brought a tear to my eye. Cannot recommend Jillian’s enough.
