 One of my favorite restaurant experiences was at the Cafe Allegro on the
 South Side in Pittsburgh.  We had great seafood and fresh vegetables all
 sauteed as little as possible (allegro) in healthier oils, etc.  It was
 hard to believe it was Pittsburgh.  Price was moderate.  This was three
 years ago and it was still relatively new, so make sure the original
 chef is still there.

Phila.'s Restaurant School has quite good food at very reasonable prices. It also has a nice  atmosphere since it is located in a recently restored Victorian mansion.
