Morton's
Cap Grille

Ruth Chris

Hyde Park

Outback

Dumpster behind Friday's

Longhorn

For the money, I'd suggest you do Morton's or Cap Grille mac. Hyde Park is similar in cost. Also Morton's is a doing a dinner for 2 for 109 special right now. Its probably on their website right now.

Haha, since the day that place went in, I thought it looked super sketchy. I am shocked it's still in business.

My Gf and I, ate at the Georgetowne on Mt. Washington for the first time ever. Very, very good. We had a livingsocial.com deal. We got two apps, two soups, two salads, two entrees under $35 (you could pay the difference), and a bottle of wine for $59. It was quite good.

lol..my gf and i went there one afternoon...i got something that was tolerable, but what she got was the worst attempt at Pad Thai either of us have ever tried. I'd maybe go back, but i dont think i could ever convince her to go back again.

You would have been better off going to union grill two places down.

Someone just posted this on twitter - a compilation of all of the wing nights / specials in Pittsburgh. I thought some of you may find this useful...

Agreed. Luca's overpriced and overrated. Union Grill, on the other hand, is delicious. I think that they have the best burger in Pittsburgh. I've only been to Tessaro's once, so I would like to give that another shot, but as of now, Union Grill is my #1

Lucca ten years ago would have been at the top of my recommendation list for Italian in the city. I've been maybe 2 or 3 times in the past few years, and each time was similar to your experience. Its fallen so far.

I love Ali babba's. Every year on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, we have our office Thanksgiving lunch, which entails ordering a ton of food from Ali babba and just pigging out.

Troy, if you are going to be hipster new-Lawrenceville style, you should know this.

It's on Butler Street at like 52nd. Great outdoor garden with seating on the side too.

I think the hipsters are migrating back to Polish Hill.
