 Top of the Triangle.  a Stouffer restaurant.  old hangout of Art Rooney.
 they're still in business, but i haven't been there in several years.
 food was always excellent and, yes, high priced.

 As the other posts indicate, it is a Stouffer restaurant, and yes, very
 pricy.  As for the food....mediocre at best.  I used to eat there when I
 worked in the USX tower.  Atmosphere, atmosphere, atmophere....but the
 food is ....eh (shrugs shoulders).

 A while ago I asked about the restaurant on top of the USX building.

 Several folks wrote (some personally) and said that it's called Top of
 the Triangle, is run by Stouffers, has (as I remembered) a fine view,
 and is fairly expensive.  The impression I got is that the food is good,
 but no one suggested it justifies its cost.

 Thanks to all who replied.  I think we'll try another place.

 Top Of The Triangle is NO LONGER a Stouffer's restaurant.  It is a
 "privately owned" restaurant.  The owners/staff are trying hard to change
 the formerly "mediocre" image.  They have changed the menu and gone away
 from the Stouffer's fare.  Haven't been there recently, but plan on
 taking out of town guests there.  (I got my info from a staff worker
 while waiting on the T.)  As for price, I figure if I get out under $100
 (including wine, etc.) it's reasonable, especially if the food and
 service is good.
