Dining on the patio of Café Pinot gives guests a grand view of the urban skyline and the lush romantic Central Library garden located in Downtown LA. Enjoy warm afternoons and summer nights out on the terrace, while eating Café Pinot’s French-California cuisine. This restaurant is perfect for dining before an event at the Staples Center or the Music Center because of its close location. A delicious Café Pinot dish to try is the Three Mustard- Crusted Farm-Raised Rotisserie Chicken with crispy Pinot fries. If guests decide to have lunch at Café Pinot, then get the Pan-Seared Prime Hanger Steak Salad served with sweet tempura onion, arugula, tatsoi, and a frisee and herb salad.

User Reviews

Good atmosphere, bad service  

We enjoyed the outdoor patio and ambience of this restaurant. The food was fine. But the service was very slow and the waiter inattentive. The people serving the water and bread were much more attentive than our actual waiter. In the end, I ultimately had to the give the check to person with the water refills. As nice as the location and atmosphere is, we will definitely NOT be going back.
