Reviews for Baja Bar & Grill in Pittsburgh, PA
Don't expect this place to be fancy, because it definitely isn't. It's a nice spot for a fun dinner by the water, with music... playing, people drinking, and lots of dancing. The access to the pool is also great. You can get an alcoholic beverage and takeit out to the pool from what I've seen. Tonight, I ordered the philly cheese steak with a side of coleslaw and some cheesesticks. The Philly cheese steak was pretty good. Meat was a bit too dry and a little tough, but the flavor was fine. They use anadequate amount of peppers and mushrooms (I ordered it without onion). It did take quite some time to be made and was broughtout at the same time as the appetizer. The portion size was pretty decent, but for $14, they could have definitely done better.It was just okay. I did enjoy their coleslaw. It has a sweet flavor and comes with the perfect amount of dressing so it's nottoo try. Apparently it's made with vinegar, but I couldn't really taste that. You can choose to get fries as a side too. Theirmozzarella cheese sticks were bland and just not great. They taste very similar to standard grocery store bought mozzarellasticks. And for almost $10 an appetizer (and with a somewhat small portion) it's definitely not worth it. I'm guess most if notall of their appetizers are subpar and overpriced. The atmosphere is interesting. They often have bands playing, but today,there was a DJ. If that's something you enjoy, maybe check this place out, but it does get somewhat loud and crowded at the bar.Most of the patrons are seniors, so you will almost surely see some older couples rocking out on the dance floor (it's quite thescene). In general, you'll get some nice views and quick access to the pool when dining here. However, it can be loud anduncomfortable, and it's definitely not upscale. From what I know, you don't need to be a member of the Yacht Club to dine here.Good amount of seating both indoors and outdoors. The food is standard but overpriced. Read more
Went there for an outdoor concert. We had a great time dancing! Only negative-it was hot on the dance floor. Maybe could use... some ceiling fans. Other than that the wait staff were awesome! Read more
We came here for a fundraising event and I felt like I was on vacation! It?s a great spot on the water and even though it was... busy due to the event, the service was so fast! The food was delicious and prices were reasonable for being right next toexpensive yachts! Read more
I loved the reggae band Ras Prophet and I really appreciate the yacht club allowing them to perform there cause the reggae has... fallen off in Pittsburgh in the recent years and our waitress Nicole was on point and she was very kind and greeted us with asmile. Thanks for a lovely day out for Father's Day ???? Read more
Atmosphere and a live band was great. What a great night out, relaxed place. Highly recommend for a visit. That said, eat before... visiting. They have food but I don't recommend it. Read more

Usually this place is fun. Not tonight, the band The Lucky Me is super loud, I got a headache in the first 5 mins of them... playing. Been here 30 minutes and have not seen any food service person. The table was never wiped off from the previous people.I will have to go get food somewhere else. Read more
