Petinos prides itself on its ultra attentive service and endless (or almost endless) menu variety. Petinos has something for every mouth. Whether you're in the mood for something sweet, something savory or a little bit of both, we've got something for you.
Petinos receives praise for tasty food and generous portions, especially brunch staples like eggs Benedict and potato sides, with dishes described as fresh and flavorful; the atmosphere is wonderful, modern, and lively, though the space can be very loud on busy weekends; service is frequently described as fast and attentive and the staff generally friendly and professional, but experiences vary with some guests noting slower service during peak times or occasional gaps in attention; several reviews highlight efficient seating and consistent quality, while others recount less satisfying moments and even questions about tipping policies and how tips are applied; some diners also note halal options, adding to the breadth of the menu; overall it appears to be a popular, well-regarded breakfast and brunch spot with good value for portions, a broad menu, and a strong emphasis on a welcoming staff, though crowds and occasional inconsistencies temper the experience.
Went for breakfast today & received terrible service. The waitress took our order, brought the food, & never checked back to see if everything was okay or offered a coffee refill. She was completely inattentive, even after we finished eating-we had to call her over just to get the bill, which took a long time. Despite the poor service & the restaurant not being busy (with two waitstaff on duty), she was very focused on getting a tip. Extremely disappointing experience. We will not be returning.

My second time going there. First time was for brunch, & we had a great time. Service was friendly & fast. Always make reservations for a group for you to get seated faster. My second time was an impromptu stop for breakfast. & experienced the same great & fast service. It helps that it is close to my house as well. Will definitely go back.
There is really nothing special about this place by any means. I felt like the waiter was annoyed with the fact I didn't order a drink & just had the coffee that came with my breakfast. The potatoes were awesome but the eggs, questionable. I couldn't eat them. Just absolutely not worth a line up or the money. On top of it, I was SUPER sick within the hour after eating there which NEVER happens to me, ever. I don't know what they put in their food but I was totally fine until I ate there.

It's been years since I've revisited Petinos & I regret not having gone more often. They've certainly maintained their quality throughout the years unlike many other brunch places I've been to lately. I highly recommend the "Versant" if you're looking for a typical brunch platter, although this is much better quality than the typical. The crepes have perfect texture & taste incredible & fresh, even though I ordered them with my breakfast platter (as opposed to a crepe platter). Note there is no reservation at this restaurant & the wait is usually long on your typical weekend so I would try to go on less busy days. However, the wait would be worth it if you do end up going on a weekend. Since my other go-to brunch places have let me down lately with their "shrinkflation" quality, Petinos will certainly become my go-to in the future.
Mother daughter holiday breakfast. What a great choice for us girls to sit, relax, chat, laugh & spend quality time together. Adamo, our waiter, was fabulous. Having a dairy allergy can be tricky, he made sure that all items were to our specifications. Take the time & check this place out.
