    French 75
    Ambe C.

    I've had my eye on Taste on Pine for a while after seeing it on Instagram, so I finally decided to check it out for a girls' night. We arrived around 8:00 p.m., maybe a little after, and the restaurant was pretty empty--only about four other people inside. We parked on the street in front of an extended-stay motel, but it was still within view of the restaurant and the security outside the lounge. There was no cover charge; we just had to show our IDs and get our purses checked before heading inside. Since it was still early in nightlife terms, we were able to sit anywhere we wanted. Our server, Calisa, was fantastic--super friendly and provided excellent service. She was also really accommodating when I asked about getting a French 75. She was upfront that the bartender was new but assured me that if I didn't like it, she would make it herself as the manager. When my French 75 arrived, I could immediately tell something was off. It was served in a glass that looked more like a beer glass, with extra flowers on it, instead of the traditional flute. It also had mixing straws, which I've never seen for this cocktail. Initially, it tasted okay, but as it sat, it started tasting more like beer, with visible separation between the cognac and the clear liquid at the bottom (which shouldn't have been champagne since the drink is supposed to be topped with it). Instead of having the manager remake it, I decided to order a specialty cocktail, Taste on Pine, from their menu that had similar ingredients. Unfortunately, it was just as disappointing. It was advertised as being served with dry ice, but it arrived in the same type of glass as the French 75 and lacked any of the presentation or wow factor I expected. The vibe was nice for a chill lounge experience. We stayed for a bit, enjoyed the hookah, listened to music, and caught up before heading to another spot for food. As we were leaving, more security had arrived, and metal barriers were set up, so it seemed like the real club crowd was about to roll in. If you're looking for a cool vibe with decent hookah, it's worth stopping by. However, I wouldn't come back for the cocktails. I do appreciate the manager's honesty and effort to accommodate me, which was a nice touch. I'd consider returning, but next time, I'll stick to hookah and maybe a simple drink I know they can execute.

    Nice ambiance, cute set up. Went as a group and most ordered the crab leg special and it was pretty good. Be aware that if you want sides with the crab legs, 2 sides is an ADDITIONAL $12!!! One of our guest ordered the salmon dinner and it was burnt to a crisp and we was surprised the server even brought it out to her like that. The manager came to her and he rectified the matter with no issue. The owner, she was quite attentive and professional and very welcoming. Only issue is the parking is very limited and the security outside tried to charge $40 to park on the street!!! That was insane. You're spending money to eat at the establishment so why charge, especially that much to park!! Make it make sense.

    I've been hearing about Taste on Pine but hadn't had a chance to stop in, however, last night; I was in thurrrrrrrrrrrrrr. LoL!!!!! It sits on the corner which is perfect for finding a parking spot as you have two streets to choose from. This made parking easy which is always a good thing. Walking up, there is security out front which is much appreciated as the area can be hit or Miss after dark. Security was very professional and welcomed us into the establishment. As soon as you walk in, it's a total vibeeeeeeeeeee. The ambiance is vibrant. The staff is upbeat. The color selections on the wall make the space mysterious while the neon lighting makes it pop. It's a visual balance of date night and turn up all in one... The floor plan is open, so we had no preference on where to sit. Once seated, Tone greeted us and welcomed us in. Of course, Markus immediately ordered his Hookah as I ordered my Sweet Tea. LoL! Though they took a minimalist approach to the menu, they covered every main desire. There are wings, pasta options, salmon, and even a rice bowl. Nothing overly complex, yet still simple without being plain. For dinner, I decided to be simple with 10 Wings and Fries. For those who love the small wings, this is your spot. The wings are the smaller party sized wings (as of 06.29.24), they were perfectly fried and had the right amount of SweetHeat on them. The fries are the shoestring fries and were golden fried and perfectly seasoned. The food was good and did what was needed for a simple meal... Next time I go I want to try the salmon. As we were wrapping our night, Mark, one of the owners stopped by to greet us and check on us. This was truly appreciated as a representation of Great Service. As Tone was an attentive waiter, then to meet one of the co-owners who took time to say hello, it's action items such as this that will keep me coming back. If you're in the area and looking for a Vibe or a Meal, Taste on Pine is a stop you must make. Come for the Food, stay for the Vibeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

    Be Warned! I was greeted by the best hostess in the business. I was seated and waited for my party. We were drawn to this place for the happy hour. Since they ran out of wings, I ordered the Asian Chicken Bowl, the menu price $15. Once my food arrived (10mins after everyone else) it was "decent". Now it's time for the bill...no itemized check, just the amount to pay. Hold Up! Why is my bill more than I expected. The server then showed me the itemized ticket, ...and there it was Asian Chicken Bowl $18. I requested to see the menu to check the price. The menu never came after waiting 20mins. Finally a mgr came over and said "is everything ok", I said no and explained the price difference...he said "it's only $3". Welp, that was basically saying don't come back! He did ask are you good, I want to resolve it...the proper response should have been, let me adjust that for you. Sir, It's just $3, it's $3 plus tax, it's $3 plus gratuity. I'm glad other patrons enjoy Taste on Pine, I just want you all to be warned and ask about menu prices. #principal

    One of the late nightmare with a friend and decided to go to taste on Pine. It wasn't a very busy night for the restaurant, which was perfect. We were able to take our time and get a good idea of how the restaurant operates. Our server name was Tone and he was excellent all of our questions in detailed and even gave suggestions. I do enjoy a drink and a hookah as I wait on my food and the hookah was perfectly made. It wasn't too harsh or too weak and I was able to enjoy it without feeling very lightheaded. My friend and I engaged in great conversation with our server while we waited on our food. I would recommend anybody going to taste on the pond. The hospitality was out of this world for it to be considered a bar/lounge. The food came out hot and fresh in my drink was perfectly made. I know that they will be undergoing some renovations. I hope they come back with the same or even better hospitality, and can't wait to come back in a couple of months.

    We came here on a Wednesday night. Parking is limited, but there is street parking. The restaurant opens at 7 pm. It's a great place for late happy hour. We ordered crab legs, corn, eggs, fries (not pictured), broccoli (not pictured), and the island hopper which is basically a passion fruit margarita. The service was amazing and the food was delicious! I'm definitely going to get at least 3 more clusters next time. It was truly a vibe! I look forward to trying it again soon.

    So I came here because one of my friends saw the promo for one of the nights specials. Everybody there was Nice and friendly. Came to greet me immediately. I don't have any big complaints about that. I got there and it was pretty empty because it was just opening. Which was fine! There is some indoor and some outdoor seating. They have hookah if you're into a smoking hookah. It looks like they have a back room as well but that door was closed because it probably wasn't enough people to have it open. Or maybe it was a private area. But they do have a lot more space than it looks like initially. Music but maybe a little loud but not a deal breaker. It was set in the mood, it was a vibe. Which was okay. To me it wasn't like it was a DJed set, but the music was all right. It has a Full bar and some decent specials. Happy hour is clutch. Wednesday has $5 crab leg clusters. Friday is wing night. Now the clusters come with this Cajun garlic butter situation and that joint is good! Whatever that butter is, they put it on everything! Well whatever seasoning is in the butter I guess! I had a couple of clusters, I had some broccoli and some french fries. The broccoli had the same seasoning and the broccoli was just the right amount of spice and I enjoyed it. The french fries had the regular seasoning, it didn't have a doused in butter, and they were pretty seasoned well. The crab itself was pretty good. Wasn't the biggest portion but was the smallest portion either. For $5 you really can't complain! They give you gloves but they don't give you crackers. That part kind of threw me off a little bit. Any crab place I would think unless they come pre-cracked, would give you crackers to navigate that. Sure it's not the end of the world, you may have to get a little dirty and grip some of the shell, but that was just odd. I have to bite one of the shelves to get the main claw meat out, hopefully it in damage my teeth lol. But seriously though, not having crackers was again, not the end of the world but I would probably get a couple of those for that specific night since it's going to be a lot of crab being served. Just a couple of things to note, Be aware that there is an 18% gratuity added to all checks so don't get it confused when you see your bill. Also, parking is basically get it how you live. There isn't a lot of parking there, but when you do find it it's all street parking so you may have to park around the corner a little bit. Just don't expect a specific parking lot dedicated to this restaurant. Around the corner is poor Calvin's so you can probably park there and it's just a minute or two walk.

    I loved my experience at Taste on Pine! The place is beautiful, the staff is super friendly and attentive, and the service was on point. I had the salmon Rasta pasta, and it was hot, fresh, and seriously delicious. I'm from out of town, but I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Atlanta. Highly recommend checking it out!

    What a cool place. Discovered it incidentally while in downtown Atlanta. Upscale with a dress code…read morethankfully. The entrance code can be obtained from their website or local hotel concierges. Dial the number on the antique phone and the door magically opens. The staff super friendly and helpful. The bartenders are the best, clearly passionate about their work. I highly encourage you to try one or several of their signature cocktails. I sampled the Left Bank Martini and Vesper. As expected they are fully stocked with Pappy Bourbon, hard to find Amaro Noni. Ask a bartender about the ice block. The place is spacious unlike other speakeasys I've been to. Lots of niche areas with couch reservations, pool table available. No time for a cigar but that is on my list when I return. Food available from their upstairs sister restaurant.

I sat at the bar and had a little light banter with the bartender who is a brother looking to be in his late 30's-early 40's. When I asked about two fruity cocktails from the menu, he flat-out said he wasn't going to make them. That alone was off-putting. Trying to move forward, I asked what he specialized in, and he said he'd "come up with something." I agreed--but very clearly stated: no rum, because my body does not react well to it. After watching him make drinks for people who ordered after me, he eventually handed me a cocktail I never even saw him prepare. That already raised a flag. I took a few sips, and sure enough--my stomach immediately started reacting the exact way it does when I've had rum. When I asked what alcohol he used, he said, "I don't even know." That response alone tells you everything you need to know. At that point, I reminded him I specifically said no rum. Instead of taking accountability, he tried to argue and backtrack. Let me be clear--when a customer tells you not to use a specific liquor, you don't ignore it, guess, or "forget." That's basic service and basic respect. This situation completely threw off my evening, as I had plans afterward and ended up feeling sick. To make matters worse, I reached out to management and received no response. That lack of accountability speaks volumes. At the end of the day, this wasn't just a bad drink--it was careless service. This staff does not prioritize customer care, and that's a problem. If you choose to visit, be very direct, pay close attention, and don't assume your requests will be respected.

The presentation of the drink was very nice and it had a good creamy flavor to it. This drink was a nice way to wind down the evening. As someone from TX, I did think the drinks were a bit on the pricey side but it's not surprising with it being the ritz. I liked that the bar had a fun yet casual ambiance and there were plenty of people around. We did ask what time last call was and were told midnight so we didn't hurry to order a second drink. Unfortunately, when we ordered another at 10:40... we were told they had closed which was frustrating.

It also had some absinthe, which I was worried about when I first ordered it since I hate the taste of it (not a big fan of black licorice flavors), but I didn't taste it at all!
