You call this French food?

by TwinCitiesFoodie

I had a terrible experience at Pierre's. The food was bland and the service was poor. We ordered the french onion soup, warm artichokes, baked brie, escargot and duck legs confit. The only thing worth eating was the french onion soup - though it was mostly cheese. The duck was dry and the warm artichokes were like a dip you could get at any chain restaurant. Anyone who has been to a great French restaurant knows that this place doesn't cut it. The service also left much to be desired, my date finished his beer before we were done with the first course and our waiter never asked if he would like another one. Do not eat at Pierre's!

• Cons: parking, service, food

Five Star's for Pierre's Bistro

by Timothy123

My wife and I decided to stop for dinner at Pierre's Bistro last Friday. The owner Pierre greeted us as we walked into the restaurant and gave us a nice seat by the window. My wife ordered the Seafood Pasta and a glass of wine. I had the Walleye Pesto soup and the Walnut crusted Walleye with fresh green beans. Both meals were excellent and the service was great. After dinner we moved up to the bar and had a glass of fine wine and chatted with Pierre. I would give Pierre five Star's for his meal and service. We made reservations for Valentine's day and will be back for another great meal.

• Pros: Excellent food and service.
• Cons: none

Best Restaurant in the Twin Cities

by jeg4511

Before I dined at Pierres, my impression of French cuisine consisited of three things: overpriced, small portions, and slow. After I sipped the remains of my vanillia latte, and ate my last spoonful of creme brulee, it had dawned on me that Pierre's managed to shatter the steroetypes that served as my foundation for French cuisine . This was by far the most enjoyable dinning experience I've had in the Twin Cities. With a modest, yet classy atmosphere, the servers work extremely hard to get your meals out to you as fast as possible. I felt they were very knowledgable when choosing which wine suited our meal best. The appitizers (puff pastry with brie, and pear salad) were extremely enjoyable. After very generious portions for the entrees, we had the pleasure of enjoying an unbelievable creme brulee. The entire meal was the certainly the most resonably priced for the quality of food we got in the cities. I definitely recommend this restaurant for virtually any occation.

Pros: Service, food quality, atmosphere.

Cons: Only one location.
