Editorial Review for Place Pigalle Restaurant and Bar – by Citysearch Editors
The Story
If this dining room were a movie set, the two strangers would certainly fall madly in love, gazing at the ferries crossing Puget Sound at sunset. Since 1982, diners have stumbled upon this black-and-white tiled, linen-tabled bistro only to discover a taste of romance. Gracefully attentive servers are consistently well-informed about the revolving menu.
The Food
Take the hint as you make your way past the fish-mongers--seafood is your best bet. The day's fresh sheet can be playful: On one evening, reduced balsamic syrup was striped over strawberry-topped ono. Notable starters include terrific mussels steamed in balsamic and bacon; an onion soup laden with Gruyere; and perfectly bitter, wilted greens. Carnivores should choose the tender lamb chops or the hoisin-laced rare duck breast.

I'm sorry, but to the person below this review, who brings dogs to a nice restaurant? This place is awesome, and I agree with the waitress. Sorry, but I don't want fleas and dog hair in my meal when I am out on a special occasion! Leave your dogs at home and get real!

Some of my friends were visiting from out of town and they brought their two small dogs. We stopped here and simply ASKED if we could dine out on the patio with our pets (mean while the dogs were outside.) The hostess flipped an attitude and said "Dog's aren't allowed in restaurants." And when I went to grab a paper menu that happened to be the drink listing she said, "Oh are you going to take that?" My response was, "Is that a problem?" Her response was, "well it's only the drink menu not the dinner menu." She was so rude. Acting as if my fellow pet owners and I should not dare set foot near that place. Needless to say we'll never go back even without our pets. It looks like, from the other ratings, that if you get a chance to get past the troll guarding the front door it may be a nice restaurant. Maybe they should consider hiring a new hostess.
Pros: There are plenty of restaurants close by once you get rebuked by this one.
Cons: Terrible Customer Service
