 I think Christopher's is overrated, but good. Le Mont just didn't
 impress me. I haven't been to Georgetown Inn, but have heard pretty good
 things about it.

 Unless you have some overriding desire to go to one of these three,
 check out The Tin Angel, also on Mount Washington. It's not Le Bec Fin,
 but it is almost the best in Pittsburgh, IMHO.

 Then again, you could skip right to the best and visit The Hyeholde. It
 is a wonderful restaurant in the general vicinity of the airport.

 None of these - Tin Angel.  If it's good enouygh for the President of the
 Unitied States and the Prime Minister of England, I'm sure your friend(s)
 will like it.

 My vote would be for Christopher's, though I freely admit I've never
 been to the other two. My fiancee and I had a wonderful time at
 Christopher's just over a year ago (hey, I'm in college - I can't afford
 to eat like that often). The food was excellent, some of the best I've
 ever had, and the decor and view were definitely top-notch. The service
 was also excellent - the waiter was very friendly, helpful, and discreet
 (I was in the process of very nervously proposing at the end of dinner).
 Keep in mind that I paid about $100 before tip for two people.

 I guess there's some bias here, since that evening was probably the
 highlight of my life, but I've eaten in plenty of good restaurants,
 incl. in New York City and Europe, and I think Christopher's stacks up
 pretty well.
