We've been to the Pine Room at least 25 times since it reopened with the new menu and so I'd have to say that it's got to be our favorite restaurant. The food is so creative and tasty, but very reasonably priced for the quality and size of portion that you get. We love the shrimp linquini, the reuben with home made corned beef brisket, the Amish chicken with polenta and honestly, just about everything else we've tried there. The only thing that I didn't like, my wife loved, which is the chili, It's oddly spiced to my taste, kind of Indian food tasting, maybe that's why I didn't like it, and my wife did. She loves Indian food.
Their beer list is a who's who of craft and micro brewers in the US and abroad. I try something new every time we visit and they'll let you taste any of the 8 or 9 beers that they have on tap.
Our friends who like wine rave about the wine selection and prices.
We love the waitresses and bartenders, and the manager is very friendly and helpful to us when we want to know something about an entree or a beer. The only negative we've ever had was one server who was obviously very new and nervous during a very busy Thursday dinner rush. She forgot us for a bit, but when we brought this up with the manager he was sincerely apologetic and so was the young lady who was serving us. We weren't upset at all but their response to our comment was taken quite seriously and since then, even still, nearly every time we visit the manager comes by, no matter how busy or slow, and says hi and makes sure everything is great. The waitress is still there and now she serves like a pro!
You won't be disappointed at The Pine Room Tavern unless you're looking for the smoky dive bar that it used to be.
