The prices are on the expensive side (I only go there when my parents are paying-- I'm a lowly graduate student) and the food is excellent. They do sort of a French/Portuguese style -- they have a nice variety of entrees that changes often. If you can find last year's restaurant issue of Pittsburgh magazine, they did a feature on Baum Vivant. In my opinion, it's one of the best restaurants in Pittsburgh. Mike

Baum Vivant
Baum Vivant is excellent--it's right next to the burger king, ironically enough. You also might want to try Cafe Flora--it just opened on Bryant St. in Highland Park, across from the walnut market (Take Negley toward the zoo; make right on Bryant st., it's on the right). It's roughly across the street from what used to be La Foret. The place is small, nice looking, and has bistro-style french cuisine.
