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.

2. Is a children's menu available?
No, we do not have children's menu but we can always accommodate for any
children in your party.

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.
Back to Top
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.

12. Can we bring in our own bottle of
wine ?
Yes you can bring in your own, unopened bottle of wine, but there is a $10.00
cork fee for every bottle you bring in.
Back to Top
13. Do we sell bottles of wine for carry
out ?
Yes we can sell any of our bottles of wine for carry out.
Back to Top
14. Do we have fresh seafood ?
Yes, on occasion we will have fresh seafood brought in. We plan to have
fresh seafood every Wednesday, but currently we have not located a consistent
quality supplier to ensure this on every Wednesday. Watch our website for
details and also ask your servers.

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.
Back to Top
16. Do we charge plate fees for splitting
entrees ?
No, generally we do not have a plate fee for splitting entrees.
Back to Top
17. Do we cater ?
Currently, we can cater small groups. But, Pino's plans to be able to
cater larger venues. We also offer our "Chef For a Night" program
to pamper yourself or to impress your guests.
