First time here! How have I never dined here before when it is so good?!I always pass by this place and today my family and I wanted to go to dinner closer to home.We arrived during happy hour and Eric was our server. We ordered the crab cakes, ceviche, chips and salsa, wings, fettuccine Alfredo, and the cauliflower w/dip.The crab cakes were delicious! Perfect amount of crab and fried to perfection. The ceviche was fresh, sweet and tangy at the same time. Salsa w/chips and guacamole was good, while the fettuccine Alfredo was the clear winner with spinach, sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms and chicken, it was so creamy!We had lemon drops, beer, and cosmos. They make their drinks good!For dessert we had the crème brûlée and it was perfect! Not too sweet and it was so creamy!Parking was great, there is public parking and street parking available. The place itself is huge! They even have outdoor dining.The only downside is the 4% surcharge, we were blindsided by this especially for a city like Pinole. I know SF does this but Pinole?!Anyways we had an amazing time and I was honestly really impressed with the food and the service and we will def be back for more.Can't wait to comeback and try their breakfast menu with the unlimited mimosas!

Food isn't that good, and expensive. The wine isn't that good. If you like fruity cocktails, then this is place for you. Lots of sweet fruity drinks. Lots of 1990s neon. Service is marginal at best. Bartender's cool, doh. Look, Pinole needs a good restaurant. Will one of you people please open up a good restaurant that's not Asian?

I had an amazing time at the Pear Street Bistro, we went for Brunch, Valeria was our waitress, she was very polite and friendly, she recommended the chicken and waffles and chilaquiles (per our request for her recommendation). Great environment, the restaurant is beautiful, a lot of seating options, bar, or dinner or outdoor. The food was delicious, we had a very freshly made ceviche, with home made chips, chicken and waffles very tasty, a bruschetta and as complement they gave us biscuits with home made strawberry jam. Parking lot is in the back and the prices are super affordable specially since the restaurant and service was so good! Our busboy was also very nice didn't catch his name. They have a full bar and the drink looked pretty good.

If you're looking for a nicer place to dine in Old Town Pinole, this is your new spot. There's not a lot of options in the city that aren't chain restaurants, so supporting local businesses is always a plus. I've eaten here before and had mixed experiences. The few times we had issues with the food they were resolved quickly. The food is tasty, but pricier. It does feel worth it, but definitely not a spot for a weekly dinner. There is a bar spot if you just wanna come in and grab a drink to watch the game and a separate dining room. This works well for a local spot, and so is still a good option if you're looking for a place for a sit down meal.

What a nice find! In downtown Pinole and minutes from my house, Pear Street is a cozy chic eatery with fantastic burgers. Their PSB Burger Station is deliciously flavorful. There is even an egg option. I prefer mine with an over easy egg and medium rare burger and Pear Street didn't disappoint!! The service was super friendly and helpful. Pear Street is rated 3 $$$ but I think it is closer to 2 $$ making this place a great affordable option.

Ok! So came here with a pretty large group for the Sunday brunch. They had plenty of room to accommodate us with room to spare. Now I've heard about this spot from friends and co-workers but have never been. The atmosphere was pretty good not too loud were you couldn't hear each other but also not to quiet. Now the food. I'll just share my personal items and a few of my pictures will be of what others got. I ordered the calamari appetizer, the ribeye brunch meal, a shrimp scampi. My wife grabbed the chicken and waffle meal. When they brought the calamari out the first thing I noticed was it smelled like it was cooked in old grease. But I will say the wasabi dipping sauce was really good. 6/10The shrimp scampi might've been the best thing we got today! Add a little sauce and it makes the sauce pop! Only downside is they only give you like 4 shrimp. 8/10My ribeye was decent it seemed more like a steak you'd get from a chain diner. I ordered it medium it came out more medium well. It had a potato melody and I for the record don't really do colorful potatoes. 5/10The biscuits they bring out as a starter was pretty good. Only knock would be the salt less butter they serve it with. 6/10Now here is the critical feedback I'd give. The waiter we had was really nice and one guy with 15 people can be tough. But come on man I had to ask for a refill on water like 4 times before I got it. Same for my sister who asked for a refill on her drink.

Made reservations, but didn't seem like they noted them. Got there and it took the host awhile to acknowledge us. Sat at the bar and our experience changed. Bar tender was super nice, drinks & food were great. Loved the 90's/2000's music playing in the background.

Had gone yesterday. It had been 20 years since I had last visited this place now under New management Mr. "Paco" Francisco Lopez. This place has a nice bar but the dining location is so dark could not read the menu. They had air conditioner turned off but had the back door wide open which we thought was weird. They sat us by a very drunk loud group did not want to be around them. I ordered hot tea and never received it . Check your receipt before you leave. She charged us for tea that I did not get. She kept telling us she forgot. The server was lousy never checked on us she at least offered water. I had reservations at 4:45pm my friend and I arrived on time 4:30pm. I had ordered their Saturday special short ribs, vegetables and garlic mashed potatoes. The price was not special it was the same on the menu $30.00 which is very, very expensive. When they list a special I feel they should offer a special price. I had to ask the young lady 3 times for the check. She brought to go boxes and never giving us the check. She was so unorganized. I'll never come back not worth the time and money the restaurant so small. The manager never came around to greet us. My friend was a famous Contra Costa area former Richmond city council person, former wife of a well known assemblyman, and most recently nominated women of the year 2024 by state John Garmendi. The owner trying to run like an Los Angeles high end restaurant not worth it. The owner proudly displayed tequila use placks....I found tacky.

Pear street bistro has never failed me in terms of flavor. Back when they were on door dash (they aren't anymore) I would order food for pick up during lunch. Such a lifesaver when I run out ideas on Fridays during lent. This time, I actually went in to and sat down at the restaurant. Aside from one of the workers who seemed a little out of it, the staff were nice and friendly. They were paying attention to our table and I appreciated it, especially when I didn't have to ask for them to wipe it down when the other worker had spilled water. That habanero dipping sauce was insane. And I like spicy food. Also, this place has sweet potato tater tots! The portions here are also reasonable. I didn't particularly feel like I was being jipped. The people at the bar seemed to be enjoying themselves. This place seems like a well liked place by locals. I'll be back!

I came on a Tuesday afternoon and had a very pleasant time. The happy hour is 3-6pm. I ordered the Sex on the Beach and Tequila Sunrise. My husband had a beer on tap. I liked the crab cake even though it is tiny, probably wouldn't order this again. The bacon fritters were like a deep fried potato ball, reminds me of the potato balls from Gregoire's in Berkeley, delicious. I personally would have liked pairing the fritters with a creamy sauce instead of tomato sauce. The wings were a bit overdone this time, but I've had wings here a few times before and it was better back then. The restaurant was clean. The staff was super friendly. And not many people on a Tuesday. Overall I had a very pleasant experience here and would definitely come again!
