Holiday Present Help-- Where would you buy a gift certificate for a "nice" meal or two in Pittsburgh?

My brother-in-law and sister-in-law live in Pittsburgh. They are both in school. They are foodies and enjoy eating out. They are former NYCers who moved to Pittsburgh a couple of years ago. They are pretty adventurous when it comes to food. We thought we'd give them a gift certificate or two for a nice meal (my thought is to somewhere that they could not afford to eat on their own) as a holiday present. I'd love any and all suggestions. Thank you in advance!

    Definitely Salt of the Earth! www.saltpgh.com

      Another vote for Salt of the Earth. This is a new restaurant that is getting a lot of buzz, so if they're foodies, I'm sure they'd love to have the chance to go check it out.

        Salt of the Earth. I'd be surprised if they didn't have a provision for gift certificate. Give them a call.

          I agree with burghgal. Nine on Nine is a great choice, but I would lean toward a new restaurant in Garfield called Salt of the Earth. I've heard great things about this place, and I think the chef/owner (Kevin Sousa) is the best in the city.

            I agree with Salt of the Earth or Spoon - wasn't sure if they were doing gift certificates.
