We shared the beet salad, the baked Brie and each ordered the steelhead trout. It was all very good and we are planning to return for brunch in the near future. The service was impeccable and we both enjoyed our time at Bar Pigalle.

We had an outstanding experience. We arrived early and the gracious Manger unlocked the door to let us wait inside out of the bitter cold. Service was timely and very polite. Food was absolutely amazing, we will definitely be bringing our friends back to experience this amazing place.
