| - After leaving another establishment close by due to an excessive wait for a table, we ended up coming to Pints on Penn on a Saturday evening. We sat at the bar that was completely empty. There was maybe two other tables in the bar that had some patrons at but otherwise that part of the restaurant was not busy. So we bellied up and ordered a drink. I started with the Fig on the Rye. Tasty not too strong but still packed a little punch. They don't have an extensive draft list, but they do have some more options in bottles.
Looking over the menu I decided to try their Field Greens salad. It came with apples, grapes, walnuts, and goat cheese on spinach. Sounded good so I added grilled chicken for some protein. After a little bit of a wait the food came out and I was really hungry so I dived right in. The salad overwhelmed me but not particularly in a good way. I love goat cheese, but there was just so much of it, it really overtook the salad. And the chicken was really grilled, I mean some of the pieces were black. So burnt it left that really unappealing taste in my mouth, combined with the over-the-top amount of goat cheese not a tasty balanced meal. What sounded delicious did not deliver, top it off they forgot my walnuts. I was like I think this was supposed to have walnuts but the other things going on there kind of distracted me. I still ate every bit, basically due to hunger pangs and not wanting to go through the whole this salad tastes awful discussion with the bartender. I did ask the bartender when I got her attention to confirm that the salad was supposed to have walnuts. She said, "Yea what they didn't give them to you?" I said no they did not. She offered to get me some but by then I was about done with this carcinogen loaded plate I declined saying it's a bit too late, but thanks. So finished up and left, kind of disappointed.
