I saw a groupon for Pints on Penn and had kept forgetting that it existed. I figured if I bought the groupon, it would make it a point in my head to go. I ended up going that night and I definitely have a few opinions about the restaurant...or maybe I don't.
We sat in the bar area. It seemed like the only person there was a bartender. I didn't know there was an upstairs area until I saw people coming down from some stairs. The bar area was pretty empty. Although, I really liked the big, original bar.
I don't remember my beer but I ordered salmon on a bed of wilted spinach with mashed red skin potatoes. The wilted spinach was just that...spinach on a plate with the fish put on top so that the heat wilts it slightly. No salt. No pepper. The salmon was done a little closer to well which is definitely my preference. it was the best thing about the dish, as it was blackened and that makes everything taste better. The mashed potatoes were good as well but overall, nothing was great. My boyfriend got a salad and didn't like it. However, that is his problem because his complaint was that his SALAD "had too many vegetables." I don't really think I can factor that opinion into my review. I would come back and would like to try other items on the menu but I don't know if I would go out of my way to do so.
