New American, Fine Dining · $$$$ · 1230 Grandview Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15211
The skyline view does some of the work, but the kitchen holds up its end. You're partly paying for the window, and honestly that's fine.
Order: Tasting menu with the skyline in the window

Seafood, Fine Dining · $$$$ · 1411 Grandview Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15211
Fresh fish and the city's best window seat. You're paying for the view as much as the plate. Fair trade for a special night.
Order: Fresh fish + the city's best window seat

Steakhouse, Continental · $$$$ · 1114 Grandview Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15211
The Grandview institution: white tablecloths, tableside flambe, and the best window in Pennsylvania. You are paying for the view and the theatre, and on an anniversary that is a fair trade.
Order: Chateaubriand and the skyline

Uzbek, Central Asian · $$ · 16 Southern Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15211
Uzbek food in Pittsburgh, which is exactly the kind of thing this map exists to point at. Plov, samsa, hand-pulled everything. Nothing else in town tastes like it.
Order: Plov and lamb samsa

American, Bar · $$ · 1212 Grandview Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15211
The unfussy way to eat the same view Le Mont charges four figures for. Food is bar food, the deck is the point, and in summer there is nowhere better to hand somebody a beer.
Order: A burger on the deck
