 I think there was a review of the rest. in Sharpsburg in either last
 weeks In Pittsburgh or City Paper. There is another rest. on the Alleg
 River, between the zoo and Verona. Cannot think of the name. There is a
 rest. near Beaver I think called the Edgewater Inn.

 Veltri is high on a bluff overlooking the Allegheny.  Get there
 around sunset so you can enjoy the river while you can still see it
 as well as later in the dark with all the lights.  Go to Oakmont
 and follow the Yellow Belt (Hulton Road) south.  At the top of the
 hill where Yellow Belt turns right, continue straight ahead toweads
 New Kensington.  It's a couple miles shead on the left.  Call ahead
 for a reservation to be sure to sit by a window.

 Fox Chapel Yacht Club, a public restaurant in spite of its name, is
 a marina right on the Allegheny.  Exit PA-28 for Fox Chapel Road,
 and continue towards the river at the intersection of that road and
 Freeport Road.  It's about a half mile on your right.

 I remember reading a good review in the PG of a restaurant on
 Washington Landing, but I disremember the name.  I remember
 thinking we ought to try it.  Perhaps someone will post more
 details here.

 The Carosel Lounge is sort of along the river.  There's a great view of
 the old steel mills in Rankin and Braddock and of course the Mon.  They
 have pretty decent food at a reasonable price.  The Grilled Chicken
 Salad is a steal at $7.95.  There's enough there for 3 people.  The
 Carosel is located along Rt. 837 about a mile west of Kennywood amusment
 park.  Plenty of parking is available.  There is a choice of a nice
 florida type room to eat in or there is a nice deck for better weather.

 Good Luck,
 Toni

 I just read a review of Silky's Crow's Nest, which is probably the one
 you're thinking of in Sharpsburg.  It sounded pretty good and not too
 expensive, even by my
 cheap standards.

 Try Poley's Lookout in Duquesne. It has a beautiful view of the river and
 the food is very good also.
