   Nice food, great wine selection. Not very busy, somewhat empty. Hope they get better known.

   Fantastic experience. Quaint, quiet, and with a sophisticated menu and wine cellar to match. This restaurant is a true gem in North Scottsdale.

   The Restaurant update is excellent and makes for a more private and European ambience. The service was excellent. Wine selection is unique and features excellent choices from France, Spain, Italy and others. Food pairs well with the wine.

   Lovely place with delightful vibe. Amazing wine selections and food is quite food. Ambience is inviting and it’s nice to be able to hear one another speak, sans shouting.

   First time here. When I went online to book a table, it showed only outside available. Arrived at the restaurant, it was empty at 5:45pm. We ordered at 6:15. Got a salad and a pasta dish. Food did not come out until almost 7:30. Watched others who arrived after us eat their entire meal before we got our food. No preemptive check ins by the waiter, we had to flag him down and ask Where our food was. Waiter apologized after the fact. Was annoyed the food took so long. Food was good, but overpriced for what you got. Considering so many places to eat in Scottsdale, not sure we will be back. UPDATE RESPONSE: The hostess at check-in offered us inside or outside. So if you were “fully booked” why did she offer an option? “Thoughtfully paced” “careful pacing”? So does that apply to everyone? Because as stated, people sat after us received their full meal and ate before we even got our food. Gaslighting reviews seems like an art form here. Thanks for the condescending response, it makes our decision to try your place again a lot easier.

   Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We appreciate your feedback and regret that your visit didn’t meet your expectations. At Pinard, we embrace a relaxed, European-style dining experience, carefully pacing each course so guests can fully enjoy their meal, company, and the atmosphere. We understand this may differ from fast-paced dining and always strive to communicate it clearly. Our indoor tables were fully booked for the 6:00 hour, which is why only outdoor seating was available. We apologize if that wasn’t more evident at booking. We’re also sorry you felt overlooked—attentive service is a top priority. We appreciate your feedback as we refine our guest experience. We look forward to welcoming you again for the warm hospitality and thoughtfully paced dining we strive for.

   Had a great dinner at a new restaurant. Started with the artichokes appetizer and a salad full of walnuts and apples with goat cheese crostinis. They were amazing. I couldn't (didn't want to) stay away from the flatiron with mashed and asparagus. I wish I would have had leftovers, but it was cooked perfectly. The Cab from Halter Ranch didn't hurt either. Looking forward to going back and getting to the wine tasting events! This place is a must!!

   Had the Prix Fixe menu on Valentine’s Day. The food was great. We also ordered the European cheeseboard to share and it was delicious.

    I had an amazing experience dining here for Valentine’s Day! The fourth-course meal with the fish dish was absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The wine pairing was spot on, complementing the dish beautifully. Overall, a fantastic meal with great attention to detail. Highly recommend!
