The view is great, the food is not

Rarely are both the food and the view terrific.
By terrific I mean something to get excited about, not just a well-presented meal, that is good food (that's easy).

There are a few reasons for this; expensive setting does not allow for more costs to go into the meals, many chefs do not want to work in an environment where customers come for the view first, food second.

What are some of your "go for the view, but skip the meal" places?

A few off the top of my head are: 95th floor of the Hancock in Chicago, the space needle in Seattle, Montgomery Inn in Cincinnati.
