1. Are reservations required?

Pino's has always tried to accommodate for our walk-in customers but on many occasions we have had to make our customers wait to be seated because they did not have a reservation. To better serve our customers we recommend that you make reservations, for the obvious reasons, but also to help our staff configure table arrangements and timing of orders in the kitchen.

3. Is there a dress code ?

At Pino's we do not have a specific dress code, but we do encourage our customers to dress at least in casual-business attire.  We do however prefer that our customers not wear any ball caps in the restaurant.

4. Can we reserve the entire restaurant ?

Pino's has a seating capacity of 150-170 guests and we are always willing to reserve the entire restaurant with advanced booking.  There are a few factors that dictate the pricing for this type of booking such as the number of guests, the day of the week, the time of the year etc..  Such bookings will be priced on a case by case basis and will require a deposit.  We encourage our customers to reserve this sort of booking well in advance.  We can also entertain such a booking during non-business hours, such as on Sundays, and on Saturday Lunches. Contact us for further details.

5. What is the seating capacity for the private dining room ?

Pino's has two dining rooms available for private parties.  The old dining room (seating 45-50 guests) and the main dining room (seating 100-120 guests).  Advanced reservations are required for either of these rooms.

6. Is there a room charge for the private dining rooms ?

Yes there is a room charge for each of our dining rooms.  For the old dining room there is a $200.00 room charge for any party that drops below a head count of 20 people.  There is a $400.00 room charge for any reserved party in the main dining room that drops below a head count of 50 guests.  The reason we do this is to cover the cost of having dedicated staff for each of these dining areas and also turning away regular business for these rooms.  You may be required to secure these dining areas with a credit card up to the minimum room charge.

7. Can we customize a menu for Private Parties ?

Depending on your event and the number of guests in your party, we recommend that you customize or limit your menu options.  For parties around 20 guests, ordering of the complete menu is not a problem. But, when you have 25 or more guests timing of their dinners becomes challenging, if all guests order off the full menu.  As a rule we recommend that any parties over 20 have a limited or customized menu.

8. Can we arrange for live music for Private Parties ?

Pino's can arrange for live music for your events if given adequate notice.

9. What do we do for Birthdays, Anniversaries and other special events ?

Pino's has always tried to make every dining experience for our customers memorable.  This is even more evident when there a special celebration; a birthday, an anniversary or even a marriage proposal.  We want to continue to encourage our customers to request and participate with suggestions for any special occasion.

10. Why must dinner orders be in by 8:45pm on weekdays and 9:45pm on weekends ?

Even though our dining room is open till 10:00pm on Weekdays and 11:00pm on Weekends, the kitchen closes at 9:00 pm and 10:00pm respectively.  In order for the closing duties to be completed in our kitchen in a timely manner we have requested this of our customers.  Although, if you know in advance that you will be needing a later reservation, we will be happy to accommodate.

11. What are the average dining times for lunch and dinner ?

On average our dining times (time estimated from seating to check) for lunch range from 35 minutes to 1 hour and for dinner 45 minutes to 1 1/4 hours.  These estimates exclude weekend dinners and lingering lunches.

14. Do we have fresh seafood ?

15. Can we get steak or other items?

Usually we can have steak available to our customers with a 2 day notice.  As far as other items for preparation, with adequate notice we can have almost any item ready for our customers.  Some items may require a deposit.
