 Deferring to my wife on this one, Monterey Bay on Mount Washington is
 hard to beat.  Pricey, but if you make reservations, request a window
 seat then arrive a bit early the view of the city is remarkable.  The
 wine list is pretty good except that it focuses on domestics that keep
 with the west coast Monterey California theme.  They are a seafood
 restaurant first, but if you're not in the mood they have stuffed filet
 mignon in burgundy and mushroom sauce that is out of this world.

 In the Shadyside area, try Bellini or Baum Vivant.
 On Mount Washington, Isabella is amazing.  In Bellevue, try Vivo which is
 BYO.

 Another possibility is the Hartwood Restaurant at the Bookworks on Harts Run
 Road.  It has a non-intimidating elegance and excellent food.   Browsing
 through the bookstore before or after dinner might be a good way to learn of
 your mutual interests (you can even eat in the bookstore if you want to).
