"Avoid this place. New owner. We were here for our 8 year anniversary. We have come to Pino 's every anniversary for the past 6 years. We have also dined here on the fly over this time on days that were not occasions. The food has always been exceptional. Piper was working at the time and sat us promptly. I noticed that all of the fire dept. gear was missing from the faux balcony and asked if Joe was still the owner. She replied, No. He sold and retired. . This wasn 't a red flag and didn 't deserve to be. My wife and I ordered a glass of wine each for the occasion and ordered the bruschetta as we normally have done. The dish came out after some wait time and it did look different, but again, nothing to be apprehensive about. We both took a serving. The bread was not toasted at all and it was sitting in liquid on the plate. It was soggy and barely had taste. The owner came over and asked about it. We said that it wasn 't toasted and it was soggy. It was bad. The owner replied, it is supposed to be toasted. Let me go talk to my kitchen. . He took the plate and shuffled off. We both ordered our usual dish of the Chicken Penne. My first bite was tasteless and the chicken was repulsive. It was tough, chewy, and barely had flavor. The dish was dry. The original owner 's dish had a bit of an oil sauce along with small garlic chunks. The dish was bad. My wife felt about the same (though she was trying to be more of a positive mindset. . We were at the end of the dish (though I left less then half of the served 'food ' on the plate. and the relief kid waiter (skinny teen whelp with dark slicked back hair comes by and 'drops ' the check on the table while we were still dining. I say out loud, Well looks like we aren 't having dessert after all.. as I clap my hands in disgust with the visit. While we are sitting there he buses the table and takes the drink I am still nursing. I paid cash and the kid asks if I wanted change. I said no. He then makes a comment about the dining experience from before he took over our table. Which leads me to believe there was chatter in the kitchen/back area that possibly included the owner in this chatter. Possibly why the check was dropped while we were still dining to get us out of there sooner (though this sentence is based speculation on his comments. . I ask the kid in disbelief, Do you normally clear the table while people are still finishing their meal? . (and I don 't mean taking a plate or two that were empty and pushed to the side.... but everything. Including the drink I was still sipping on. . We get up to leave and the kid continues going in a passive aggressive confrontational tone. I stopped and turned around and told him, Please do us a favor and stop talking to us. . The food and the service was absolutely appalling. To be honest, if the kid kept going the night would have ended differently. Let 's add the fact while we told the owner the bruschetta was bad, it was still on the bill. We unfortunately will never return to a restaurant that we have been regulars to for 6 years with the old owner because the new owner does not come close to quality or care of what was once there. Thanks again for the wedding anniversary memories."

"Beware! This restaurant is overvalued and preys on visitors to Park City. The steaks were institutional and very poor quality. The service was apathetic and lacked attention. For those visiting from out of town and are looking for a steakhouse comparable to Capitol Grille, Ruth Chris, Chops In Charleston, NY Prime in Atlanta or Boca Raton, this is NOT a comparison. Server did not clear table between appetizers and Salads and entrees, They had us hold our plates while they placed our entrees in front of us but low and behold they delivered the wrong entrees to each guest. For the price, this is inconceivable! Party of 8 spent $500+ and could have had better service and better quality food at Outback. Oh and don’t get misled by the “45 item Salad Bar”. It is a salad bar that was unattended and had old lettuce that we had to pick through to find fresh lettuce and it was located in the front of the establishment where people are waiting for tables and in the way of your “SELF-SERVICE” preparation of your own salad. Server never checked on us, Management never came by to check on us. Meals were horrible and tasteless. Funny follow-up... Manager called us 3 days later after we posted a review on Google and said “sorry, next time your in Park City, give us another try.” Really?.? We vacation from Florida and next time we vacation to Park City they want us to try them again? Totally clueless management on how to address incompetence. Lastly, we asked for nothing... and this review is a real life review for those who have an expectation comparable to the aforementioned establishments. Do not get fooled by other reviews like we did. You will be disappointed."
