 The Road to Karakash:  very good ambiance and all of the items I've had
 from their menu were really flavorful.  There's a very eclectic mix of
 dishes.  I recommend the Shrimp Parsi (I think that's the name) which is
 a curry shrimp with tomato and peppers.

 Lemmongrass:  once again, nice ambiance (although lately the waitstaff
 has been doing a pretty bad job).  Nice mix of Thai food (I'm basically
 just a sucker for Thai food though).

 Bravo:  okay, great looking restaurant.  I had decided I liked it based
 on appearances alone before I even at there.  But the food is really
 good, decently priced, and large portions.  I especially love the bread
 & dipping sauce you get before your meal.  The Penne Mediterranean is
 good as is the ravioli and the pasta woozie.

 The Grand Concourse:  of all the "elegant" restaurants I've been to in
 Pgh., this one by far had the best food.  I almost died and went to
 heaven for their chocolate raspberry torte.

 and finally....

 Sushi Too (on carson)  I've just been introduced to sushi so I have to
 admit that I haven't tried many places (both sushi too/two, Ginza, Kiku,
 and Koto buki)... Uh oh...I changed my mind...I totally forgot about
 Koto Buki....they are the best sushi place I've been to.

 Does that suffice for explanations?
