Service was objectively fine but felt a little superficial... pacing of dishes was also off. Food was good, but again, underwhelming for the price. Parking is impossible in the location.

Let me first say this, why hadn't I been to The Pine earlier? This restaurant is soooo good and in…read morea perfect location, Five Points! Pine Bar is a small restaurant that has a variety of wines, mixed drinks and tapas. There are 2 outdoor patios, one covered and one uncovered and in an inside too. They take reservations as well, but we came around 6pm on a Wednesday and they weren't too busy. By 6:30pm, it started to pick up though! We came specifically for the happy hour. Which is 5-7pm and they $15 bottled wines and $1 off raw oysters. We were promptly seated on the patio when we arrived, given water for us and our pup that had joined us. We started off with drinks and a dozen oysters, let me say these oysters were very good and they give you everything you need to eat with them. I wonder if the saltine crackers are homemade! Next we ordered 3 different tapas: the cauliflower, hummus and slider trio. All were super delicious! Overall my experience at The Pine Bar was spectacular and I'm pretty sure I'll be a regular in the future!

We visited a year ago, and everything is still just as good, along with the wonderful service. The focaccia bread is delicious, I highly suggest that you order it.

This was my first visit, but my friend had been before and couldn't wait to bring me. Now I completely understand why. From the moment we pulled up, the valet parking set the tone for what turned out to be a wonderful experience. It's such a nice touch and instantly made the visit feel special. Inside, everything felt elevated without being pretentious. The atmosphere was beautiful, the service was warm and attentive, and the food absolutely delivered. Every bite was flavorful, and the cocktails were just as impressive. What made the experience even better was discovering the spa next door after brunch. We took a peek, and now we're already planning our next visit--a relaxing spa day followed by another amazing dinner. It's always exciting to find a place that feels like a little getaway without leaving home. If you're looking for great food, handcrafted cocktails, exceptional service, complimentary valet parking, and a sophisticated vibe right here in Athens, this spot deserves a visit. We left already planning our next visit, and I can't wait to experience it all over again!

Why did I just pay 60 bucks for two drinks and a four slices of bread and didn't even get the food. Also they charged 20% gratuity for all of us. I DIDN'T GET MY FOOD. HELLO? When we asked if our food was coming out the waitress was rude. Like seriously. She said oh well the other table ate it. Ok well you didn't serve it to the people who ordered it? Make that make sense. Then all the staff went in the back and were definitely talking about us. Don't go and get ripped off.

Max took amazing care of us and made sure he went above and beyond to make sure that we were well taken care of. Ambiance: the air is very energetic on a Saturday when it's game day.

Please keep in mind that the reason why they call us five is because there is only five menu items for appetizers and for entrées . Therefore, there is a limited selection.

But oh man, we have at least 4 meals off of this plate of nachos, so they can have my $24 anytime.

I think they make their chips as they are thicker than most, but have an amazing actual flavor, and the toppings are ABUNDANT. This was carne asada and it was absolutely delish. The bartender greeted us when we walked in, showed us where to order and to pick a seat inside or on the cute little patio. They brought the food out within 10 minutes and we chowed. Others around us had margarita buckets and pitchers of beer, so plenty of options. Someone was raving about a pickle margarita...next trip that is on my list. Super clean, very friendly, great food, and it is labeled vegetarian and gluten free on the menu for those of us who need that info. I will most definitely be back.

I can see the appeal of this place for parents and students alike.
