I really like Parmini Brothers in there are several locations in Pittsburgh ( I might have mispelled it, try google.) Eat N Park has amazing breakfasts and you might be able to snag some coupons in the Sunday Paper or in the entertainment book. Also, I believe there is a Baha Fresh somewhere around you. Very yummy and you and Hubby could eat for under $15 with no tip required. (There is always Chipoltle....Call me cheap but I like places that are yummy, healthy, and no tip required!)Enjoy Pittsburgh for me!

I found that restaurants are least professional they used to be. The service is horrible, food is served unreasonable slow and in my opinion, we are paying more than what we are getting. Yet, what you are looking for in restaurants is what a restaurant should provide to their customers. Sorry to hear about your bad dinner experience.

It's the forefront of keeping a healthy state of mind in order for one to stay disciplined and to be able to follow through on your goals and achievements. I look at restaurants mainly for nutritional value and I'm willing to pay top dollar for it. The only restaurant I would ever care to dine out to, would be the Souplantation. I look at eating food more so as a form of discipline than I do for enjoyment. Call me "square" or "out of touch", but nobody will ever convince me, otherwise. :P I never skimp on good nutrition.

I usually just think well, I am saving so much on groceries that I can spend this on a restaurant! I always use a coupon as well. My favorites are Japanese and Italian. Restaurants are money suckers!

LOL I pick restaurants with full parking lots. If it's Friday night and it's deserted - that's a warning sign! Right now our favorites are Perkins (kids eat free) or Ryans Buffet (kids 99 cents) - but I do love me some fine dining! Oh, you should watch Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares! LOL

I like local places, as well as good, reliable chains, but I get leery of any place that just doesn't look welcoming and clean. And variety is so important -- especially as a vegetarian. I've been to really nice places with great atmosphere where there was only one non-meat dish -- that makes me want to never go back, and usually that dish isn't very good, because they haven't put in any effort towards variety. And I've been to very casual places with crummy atmosphere but lots of great options on the menu -- that makes me want to keep going back to it, even though the setting or service isn't great.
