Restaurants with a View

By Albrecht Powell, About.com

The amazing views set the stage atop Mt. Washington, where restaurant row includes restaurants of every size and scale, from the larger Monterey Bay Fish Grotto and LeMont, to the quaint Tin Angel and Cliffside, to the more casual Grandview Saloon. The amazing view, not the food, is the biggest reason to eat in most of these restaurants, although Isabella on Grandview is an excellent exception.

Take the restored Monongahela Incline down from Mt. Washington to Station Square, former depot of the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie railroad and now a wonderfully restored retail, entertainment and restaurant complex. The centerpiece is the palatial waiting room of the former terminal, its deep wood and stained glass interior remade into the popular Grand Concourse restaurant - a great choice for impressing visitors.
