 Mardi Gras, on Camp Horne Road (west of I-279 exit). Good food, nice
 variety (some ethnic) and not too noisy.  I also like Red River BBQ
 (can't get much more American than Texas! Eee, Haaa!!) up on Perry
 Highway. Those are my N-Hills non-ethnic eateries (I'm in the
 S-Hills).

 I've not been there personally, but I've had more than one favorable
 recommendation for "Recipes Remembered" off the Camp Horne Road exit (I think).
 Supposedly excellent seafood pasta and a suprisingly good wine list.

 I took my parents to Poli, in Squirrel Hill.  A fish restaurant
 with the mildest touch of Italian (a few dishes), ultimately
 plain American.  They were very happy.
