My…read more'maybe' recommendation is because I ordered a BLT and what I got was two thin slices of bacon, one leaf of lettuce and one slice of a very small tomato on Texas toast so basically I got thick toast with a little bit of BLT for 14 bucks. The fries were excellent, however. I will give it another try because the people there are super nice and like I said the atmosphere is pretty cool. I saw some others sit down with a burger of some sort and that was pretty substantial so maybe it's just the BLT is lacking. If my next experience is good, I'll definitely give you more than three stars. Three is only because it's One more than the bacon I got on my sandwich.

The restaurant itself is bright and inviting, the staff is super attentive and friendly and the food is fresh and innovative. Their Risotto was one of my favorite dishes I have ever had and I am still dreaming about the popovers. There is also a speakeasy in the basement and the drinks are delicious! Upscale workout being stuffy. Loved everything about our visit!

The food was largely amazing in a good way. The service was particularly disappointing. Our meal…read moretook over two hours, and it very much seemed that the staff believed "sorry we are busy" and a free desert would make it all better. More details below. The food was excellent, except for the falafel. I've never had falafel before that wasn't crispy on the outside. I'm not sure if the dish sat for a while before being served, or if The Pines simply serves it non-crispy. It was soggy. The great food included: Chicken, Scampi, Sea Bass, Walleye Tempura, Popovers, Potatoes, Beets, Cauliflower. All of these were excellent and everyone at our table was so pleased. The service: I'm not sure if I will return. It is unlikely. Our initial round of food appeared very quickly. Things slowed down after that. The rest of the food took an eternity to arrive. I truly considered asking for the bill and leaving before our mains, but we were treating friends. My tiny water glass kept going empty, and finally someone asked if we would like a carafe of water. Yes, yes indeed. Beverages were in general slow. We were told that we would receive a free desert, and asked for the menu. When she came to see what we might order, we had to ask for the menu a second time. More slow. What fun. I privately let our server know I was quite disappointed prior to the bill arriving. I was crystal clear before we ordered that I was to receive the bill. The bill was left on the table with one of my guests. I provided my credit card, and again the bill was left with my female guest. Did you even look at my name on the card (an obviously male name).

We came for lunch on a sunny day and were able to enjoy the deck. There were quite a few files but I don't think that's something they really can control. Drinks and food came quick.

We had to ask for a few things that were forgot by the waiter but overall it was a good meal.
