Reviews for Pico Los Alamos in Los Alamos, CA
Having been here before for dinner and enjoying our experience, we tried brunch on a warm late October Sunday. My wife had the... mimosa that had watermelon juice replacing the orange juice (the juice used varies weekly) while I had a Michelada which for mea bit under spiced through tasted okay. For starters we ordered the cinnamon rolls which were straight from the oven and verytasty. My wife had the special for the day which was a brioche covered with smoked bacon, shallots, a cream sauce all whichwere very good. Others at our table had the Spanish tortilla which came with a salad and though it tasted good the portion ofthe tortilla was on the smaller size. I went for the steak and eggs and while the steak was very well seasoned and cookedperfectly the frites ended up as waffle fries which were okay. Service was good and we appreciated her cheerful personality.While nice to have another local option for brunch wouldn't be high on our list due to the pricing though we will continue tocome for dinner.

Lovely staff, great outside patio, and the food was delicious. We had the steak frites and little gem salad and both were great!... I would definitely stop by again next time I am in the area. Drag Brunch was the same day and we were bummed we missed it! Read more
An overall incredible night. Amazing wine selection, great food and felt like we were treated like friends. Case was an... outstanding SOM and we loved all the suggestions and pairings!!! Read more
Great food and service in a beautiful location, what more could one ask for? As I am vegetarian, I had the pasta-super... flavorful. My husband ate every bite of his steak frites. Incredibly good Lumen wine, and the manager, Bonnie, is very kind andwelcoming. Highly recommend! Read more
We made reservations at Pico for 3 pm on a Saturday and everything was phenomenal. Our server, Kerry (sp?), was fabulous and... made the experience SO personal for us. She recommended items on the menu, explained the dishes to us, and make us feel like wewere VIPs! The vodka and gin cocktails were DELICIOUS and definitely had a vintage-vibe to them. We had the olives which werein this olive oil that was so good, I sopped it all up with the bread provided. Then, we moved onto the beef tartar, which wasmy husband's favorite. After than, we had the steak frites - the steak was perfect and the horseradish sauce was perfect! Wealso had the beet salad...and lemme tell you, I'm still thinking about it! It was beets on a smoked cheese base withpistachios. (see pic) Just WOW. For dessert, we had the blueberry "hand pie" with a dollop of vanilla ice cream. What agem!!! And the chickens meandering around didn't hurt either - they were SO CUTE!!! The restaurant is gorgeous, but the outsideis just a slice of heaven. Definitely recommend!! Read more
Dang, this place was good. All I got was a photo of our cocktails because everything else was inhaled. we got a burger, beet... ziti, brussel sprouts, the bacon wrapped dates, and the clam toast. absolutely delicious, all of it. for dessert we tried astrawberry dessert that was like a mini-waffle with strawberry sorbet and strawberry boba.. it was like eating summertime. Thestaff was very attentive and kind. We will definitely be back for more! Read more
Totally blown away by their food and wines. Everything was far better than I was expecting, and i didn't have low expectations... as it's a nice place, it's a bit pricey but worth it. The wines were really good but double kudos to the chef, my goodness. Clamchowder, burger, vanilla custard gelato...om nom nom is a more honest description than excellent (which is good). Comfortableatmosphere but still elegant. Its a must in my book. With the wine yoga my wife is dying to try, hikes, and cottages we may comeback from Sac area just for this. Even my dogs who were welcome outside had a hard time leaving:) Read more
Unusually small portions for not so unusual or impressive food. Presentation not the best. Ex: Charcuterie board was 3 types of... shaved meats in mounds and a piece of floppy grilled toast with a hard pickled persimmon. However, staff was very friendly andwelcoming. Read more
