Our lunch today was very good. My daughter had the scallops which were cooked perfectly as was the risotto. I had the chicken soup which was lovely. We both celebrated with some " bubbly " -and shared one of Seasons 52's decadent desserts.

Our first return to Vernon's in over 20 years did not disappoint! The service was "plenty" and Staff were very pleasant and knowledgeable. The food was absolutely delicious and was plentiful. And, the bottle of Mimbres Red Wine greatly complemented our Stuffed Quail (1st time) and Prime Rib. We had a 4:30 Res. which might have accounted for the multitude of friendly Staff catering to us, but I suspect their great serice was provided equally to later arrivals. My wife and I are very grateful to a Client for the Gift Certificate that got us here. We'll be using our own funds to return!

We used the BOGO Free email for our dinner. I had the salmon with baked potato and calabacitas while my partner had enchiladas with a relleno and fried egg. We shared the guac. He enjoyed his margarita while I sipped my delicious Sauvignon Blanc. The room was lovely and warm by the fire. Our waiter was very attentive which made our dinner and time at El Pinto all the nicer! Thank you for hiring such great staff. It's one reason we continue to go to El Pinto coupon or not. We highly recommend.
