The first casual spin-off of Joachim Splichal's Patina back in 1992, Pinot Bistro is perhaps our favorite Pinot still. The main dining room, while handsome and comfortable, is SoCal all the way, but the bistro area by the bar is more… Read Full Editorial
Great Food, Lovely Atmosphere by PatinaFan via Citysearch on 6/19/2009
We had a great time at Pinot Bistro. The food was wonderful. My 10 year old nephew was with me and he tried snails for the first time. Surprisingly, he loved them! The experience was positively memorable. We were luck enough to meet…
Fantastic meal! Deserves more love; it's back on my radar!. by revfood via Citysearch on 6/1/2009
I hadn't been to Pinot Bistro in a LONG time (maybe, 10 or 12 years) but i wanted to take my girlfriend out for dinner and ended up there somewhat randomly. Both of us loved! It's unassuming and romantic, and the only real French place…
VALUE, QUALITY, SUPERIOR SERVICE!!! by diamondbar via Citysearch on 2/25/2009
"Little Gem" of Studio City...Cozy and romantic with dark rich wood paneling, beautiful bar, where you can start your evening with a chilled to perfection St.Germain martini or a refreshing glass of French rose bubbly. International…
Great Valley Restaurant! by Nathalie H via Insider Pages on 1/21/2009
My husband and I have spent many an anniversary dinner and birthday and Pinot Bistro. The appetizers and entrees are consistently delicious, no matter what we've ordered. The best thing ever is the chocolate croissant bread pudding! …
Intimate, cozy setting by Corinne M via Insider Pages on 1/20/2009
I went to a private baby shower luncheon at Pinot Bistro and it was lovely. The setting was superb - bright and cheerful, great food, cozy atmosphere, just perfect for a ladies' lunch. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was…
One of the many of the Patina Group by Yvette D via Insider Pages on 9/26/2008
Pinot Bistro was the very first of my experiences of the Patina group of restaurants. This one is more intimate than the others. You really get a feel of the French-bistro feel of the place and the food. It's not so big as the other…
Overrated Restaurant by mattc2333 via Citysearch on 8/30/2008
Food was ok (average), I tried different main dishes but it's definitely overpriced. I been to many Patina Group restaurants in LA or Vegas. I really really wouldn't recommend this restaurant. You can definitely get the same food with…
Bad Waiter/ Luke Warm Food by ssss01 via Citysearch on 6/28/2008
My husband and I were looking for a good French bistro and were very excited to try Pinot Bistro. The ambiance seemed fine but our waiter (shaved head/bald, French man) was a huge disappointment. If you end up going to Pinot Bistro…

This place is the best. The room as elegant, but not stuffy. The waiter was so knowledgable and nice,...
Service and Food SoSo - Stay away from the "Quail" by oliversudden via Citysearch on 7/31/2007
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…
The more casual Valley-based offshoot of L.A.'s famed flagship Patina Group eateries. by Contributor via Citysearch on 4/17/2007
The Scene
"Bistro" is an abused term these days. But in terms of atmosphere, Pinot Bistro actually deserves the title. Walk past the maitre d' and you're in the Latin Quarter, circa 1920--all tiny black-and-white tiles, oversized…
Expected MUCH more from a Patina group restaurant. by bette1stl via Citysearch on 3/14/2007
Meh. For a Patina group restaurant I expected MUCH more (read my review of Patina and you'll know why). We went on Sunday and the service was great at the beginning and slowed greatly after a larger party came in. The food was really…
Dreadful food (in a charming room). Don't waste your money on the absolutely pathetic "chain" food cuisine! by andrewswood via Citysearch on 2/12/2007
Very nice room, fine enough service. Horrible food. This place once was considered the best in the valley. But it's now a really awful chain restaurant. It was taken over by a group that operates a restaurant in a Macy's back east. Which…
Avoid this restaurant!!! by zgy9714 via Citysearch on 11/24/2006
I went to this restaurant with my girlfriend and a friend, and it was one of my most disappointing restaurant experiences. We had reservations at 8:00p.m., we were on time, and we had to wait 15 minutes to sit at our table. It took…
Adorably Delicious by pixiety via Citysearch on 11/21/2006
This place is so cute and so tasty. Everything I've eaten here is fantastic and they have started serving a lovely looking cheese plate that I can't wait to try. Great for dates.
Lovely little restaurant! by jdharrison via Citysearch on 8/21/2006
I took my wife to this establishment and was very pleased with the food and price, not to mention the excellent service. Will make a point to go back there in the near future!
Duck, Duck, Goose by von_diem via Citysearch on 5/12/2006
I just took my girlfriend here for her birthday. We started with scallops in brown butter and seared foi gras.....unbelievable! After that, we shared an arugala salad with hot french onion soup. For dinner I had seared duck breast and…
overwhelmingly average... by poptarts via Citysearch on 4/24/2006
I've eaten here 3 times over the course of 6 years and have been underwhelmed every time. It's baffling that this place is still in business considering its pedigree, and it's always packed with people who apparently don't mind paying…
Perfectly Perfect by dmusco via Citysearch on 11/27/2005
What a great place. Four members of my family ate at the bistro for Thanksgiving this year (2005) and what a delite. The service was terrific, the food was to die for. There were no lines, no waiting. The courses came right on top of…
Huge Disappointment by sbelle29 via Citysearch on 7/28/2005
We were seated promptly for our 7:15pm reservation in the back corner of the restaurant next to a window looking out at the alley where the valet parked cars. We asked to be moved, but we were told that the remaining good tables were…
