They don't take reservations, and the crowds pour in. Two popular outdoor decks are fine regatta-watching spots. The view from the top deck is especially good. If you want a fine wine with your dinner, keep adding. The view from the wall of windows is right down to fountain at the Point.
Diners can see the air shows, fireworks, whatever is happening.
A small, intimate restaurant with a good view of the regatta activity. From this window-lined restaurant atop the USX Tower, Downtown, diners can see the entire Point area, water races and air events. For the most spectacular view of all, try to snag table 54, my favorite. Top of the Triangle has a recently expanded wine list, featuring more California wines, and a special menu of light summer dishes. The River Room at this big restaurant has a good view of the Monongahela, but it's so far from the Point, you can't see much of the regatta action.
