 There are several restaurants besides the Tin Angel that are probably
 a lot less expensive.  I have friends who swear by the Georgetown Inn,
 although I have never been there myself.  I like the Grandview Saloon
 which is very casual and has more of a bar atmosphere but they have good
 food and are the least expensive.  I love their steak salad, a Pittsburgh
 specialty.  Christopher's and LeMont are more expensive and not really
 worth the money in my opinion for the quality of the food but the view
 is great.  In fact the view is great from all the restaurants up there.
 The Grandview has a deck which is really nice in the summer.  They don't
 serve the food there but you can take your drinks out there while you
 wait for your table (no reservations).  I always ask for a window table
 for the best possible view and it's usually a longer wait.

 If you want another great Pittsburgh experience park at the bottom of the
 Duquesne Incline and ride the incline up to Mt. W.  The Grandview is just
 2 doors down from the incline station.  There is a gift shop and a
 historical display about Pittsburgh inclines and other inclines around
 the world in the station, too.
