Pour Wine Bar & Bistro

Shoutout to the owner Phil for stopping by our table and saying HI! Nice guy!!

We had just taken family photos and now it's time for a late birthday dinner celebration for my sister in law.
The restaurant is nice... However we were seated at a high table with a high chair for my newphew, which considering the high table we were sitting at, didnt' do much for lil' John since the "high chair" didn't reach the top of the table. He was okay though. still got fed.
The food was good though. Hunnie Bunnie had the mac n' cheese which was with penne noodles of something and it was quite tasty! I had some kind of tomato pasta something or other with the grilled chicken option and it was tasty as well!
I believe my dad enjoyed his bacon burger once they got it cooked right for him and everyone else seemed to enjoy their dinner as well. Nice local spot to enjoy for sure!

Wow! ... Otsego? Pour is the perfect 'tapas' style dining adventure accompanied by fine wine. Phil and Diane are gracious and attentive hosts that have bottled their own vintage 'Hell Yeah' and have built a gem in the NW. Be sure to get there before the crowd finds it... Kudos!

My husband and I went to Pour on a Saturday night at 7pm, and there was no wait.

The tables were mostly high tops, and at least half were sitting on barrels. While I'm sure they look cool, they are extremely uncomfortable because you cannot put your legs under the table! My husband had to sit at a 90 degree angle from the table with his legs off the side of his chair! My options were to sit spread eagle to get close enough to the table to eat, or sit far away and hope I didn't spill. Weird!!! Fail.

The wine list was impressive. The menu was odd, but interesting. We chose the Korean beef skewers, walleye cakes, and salmon with crab risotto. The beef and the walleye cakes were delicious.

The salmon itself was not very flavorful, but perfectly cooked if you like it a titch rare in the middle like I do. The crab risotto was creamy, and cooked properly, but much too rich (and bland) for the fish. Just an odd pairing. Lastly, the salmon and risotto were floating on a sea of Bernaise sauce. Huge fail. There's no need for that heavy of a sauce with salmon! The risotto and Bernaise reminded me of mashed potatoes and gravy, ha ha!

We will probably go back since we live so close, but will request a table without a barrel and skip the salmon! Maybe we should've tried having a veggie or two as well...
