Went with my girl friend, we shared the stuffed ravioli for starter. For main course, my GF had the fish, and I had the free range chicken (the chicken at Bistro De La Gare in Pasadena is much much better). Both were average. We decided to go elsewhere for dessert since we were not impressed with the foods. Don't go here, it's a waste of money. You can do a lot better with the kind of money you will have to pay at Bistro 45. The food at Bistro K is so overrated.

I wouldn't mind the $5 increase if any of that went to the charity. According to Pellegrino's website, the company has given Share Our Strength almost $60,000 in 6 years. For a large company like that, giving just an average of $10,000 a year isn't much to brag about. Also, I think while this event promotes the participating restaurants, I think it is really about building brand equity for Pellegrino. The restaurants actually seem a little annoyed by customers who order from the Dine Out menu (according to my friends).

It's usually a pretty paltry amount that goes towards the charity, particularly compared with the amount you pay for the meal and how much the restaurant makes off the meal. I think it is more about promoting the restaurants than the charity and even less so about the cause. That is one thing that bothers me about these dine out events.

Man, my little league got more per chocolate bar we sold back in the day. Share Our Strength gets one measly dollar for every meal sold?

I actually just went to Bistro 45 yesterday for lunch to try out the DineOut Prix Fixe selection. I didn't think it was that great either. I order the Ravioli Du Chef, and ours came with lamb inside. And the lamb was okay (nothing really to write home about), but the red wine sauce that came with it actually ended up making the entire dish taste pretty sour. For as highly rated as this restaurant was on Zagats, I came away pretty disappointed. I would rather come back to this restaurant on a normal day and try something else. That was a spot on review!

Honestly, I just can't stand it when chefs replace flavor with salt. While I hate doing it, I often with that I'd ordered the sauce on the side, simply as a precaution. Thanks for the review - I can tell that I would not like this place, so I won't waste my time or money! What is going on these days with salty sauces?
