 I think Angel's corner closed recently.  Someone in my office called for
 reservations and someone answered and said they were out of business.
 But I don't suppose it could hurt to call and verify this.

 I was at the Hydeholde with my family a couple of months ago.  I won't
 be returning.  The menu was fairly creative, but the food was average
 at best.  The service left much to be desired.  There were 8 of us and
 they could not seem to manage to serve all of us.  My appetizer
 (crabcakes) took longer than everyone else's, so they brought out
 everyone else's first (this is ok).  When they then brought out
 everyone else's salad, I decided to mention to our waitress that I
 would like either my salad or the crabcakes.  She had forgotten about
 the crabcakes and didn't even realize I ordered a salad!  For our main
 courses, a fish dish came out half-baked (literally!) and the the lamb
 was well done.  Even if it had not been ordered medium-rare, any chef
 at a restaraunt like the Hydeholde should know better.  This might
 be ok in a moderately priced restaraunt, but for their prices, I
 expect near perfection.

 I didn't pay, but I think it came out to be $50+ per person after they
 "adjusted" our bill.

 Sarah,

 Angel's Corner is closed.  The owners have opened a new place
 called the Schoolhouse (in Moon township?).  Pittsburgh magazine
 had a review of it a few months back.  The specialty is
 grilled iitems.
