Okay, I wanted to give Pinot Brasserie only 3 stars for the insulting escargot but because of how well they treated us I bumped them up to four.\n\nI ate here for lunch. My friend and I shared an appetizer and entree. I ordered the escargo, and he ordered the leek tart.\n\nMy escargo was bland. Bland Escargo!? Really? It was so bland that I scooped up some of the butter from my bread and put in with the sauce. It helped, but I was still disappointed. \n\nThe leek tart and side salad, on the other hand, was delish! The balsamic dressing they use was to die for. While our waiter came to speak with us we dropped the whole Culinary students thaang on him and he told us that he had gone to Le Cordon Blue....we got a good laugh because the pastry teacher he had transferred to our school, and we had fun picking on him.\n\nLater when we were done he gave us our check and told us that management would like to buy us a desert. I looked at my friend as said,\"It is my birthday, why not?!\" He gave us the desert menu. Creme brulee? Ive done it a million times, Cheesecake? Can get it anywhere. Souflee? Would take too long.....but, oh whats this? Roasted strawberries with a balsamic reduction infused with mint and vanilla, served with fog goat cheese?! I'm there.\n\nWe ordered it, and soon the waiter came out telling us that management would like to buy us each a glass of wine to pair with our desert. \n\nYes please!\n\nI don't know wines yet, (give me another year to start on that) but it was a sparkling wine that went perfect with the AWESOME desert. Woah! Those flavors blew me away!\n\nWould I eat there again? Maybe. If I have the same 2 gentlemen, and I would have to avoid the escargot. Hmmph.
