For my uncle's 85th birthday celebration, we decided to go to Pinot Bistro after having heard good things about it. We walk in and they usher us to the smallest table in the restaurant. They took a small table for four and squeezed five seats in and stuck it in a corner. The seats were so close together 5 Paris Hilton's would have been cramped! And there was hardly anyone in there at the time. My uncle had Paella, which he liked. My aunt's salmon wasn?t good. My cousins crab cakes and Caesar salad was really good. I ordered the quail based upon the waitress recommendation, and the fact that I'd never had it. BIG MISTAKE. It looked like 2 bats on the plate! Awful! And tougher than a breakfast steak at Norm's. I liked it about as much as I like Dan Quayle.\r
Usually restaurants bring a gift dessert for birthdays.\r
My uncle got 3 very small scoops of bland sorbet. Not the best PR move.\r
All in all, it left a bad taste in our mouths.\r
Wouldn?t go there again.\r
Pros: Good wine list, Paella, Caesar salad
Cons: Service, Birthdays, Quail
