    Chilaquiles - SALTY and OVERPRICED
    Joshua P.

    As a foodie, I'm usually excited to explore new spots and this dinner had some highs and rock-bottom lows. The Cowboy Ribeye and Tomahawk steak were fantastic. They were perfectly cooked and flavorful, and the broccolini and potatoes were great sides. The Chilaquiles were a complete disaster. The waitress sold them hard, so we decided to give them a try, but they were ridiculously salty. One bite and it was like your taste buds were completely overwhelmed with salt. The chips had a strange, almost Dorito-like flavor, but not as good as Doritos and between the 4 of us we couldn't finish the dish. To top it off, these awful Chilaquiles were priced at $68, which is basically the cost of the Tomahawk steak! It was so frustrating, especially since it was my friend's birthday dinner. It completely killed the vibe and left us all with a bad taste, literally and figuratively. I'll be back for the steaks, but I'll be skipping that overpriced, inedible mess next time.. TL:DR - The Chef Special-- Chilaquiles are terrible and incredibly overpriced. Do not get them!

    I give this quaint little place an A plus for effort. I love that they greet you with a glass of champagne. The menu is a little pricey so good for a special night out.

    Loved this restaurant! My husband and I had the filet and it was so good! Go for the bigger size! Cocktails were delicious! Can't complain it was all delicous!

    We visited Lonely Pine for my birthday dinner and I'm so glad we did! Upon entering, we were offered a small glass of champagne, which really set the mood. The restaurant itself is a little dark and moody, and decorated nicely with mid-century vibes. The old fashioneds were perfect, and the pimento cheese appetizer was delicious. I had the petite waygu 8 oz; it was tender and cooked perfectly. I ended up taking half home though because I was so full from all the sides. I did the asparagus and zucchini veggies sides; the asparagus was amazing but the zucchini was just okay. We also did the crispy potatoes and Gouda Mac and cheese for the table. The potatoes had a great flavor but were maybe just a little overcooked for my taste. The Mac and cheese was excellent.

    I visited Lonely Pine in combination with the Christmas pop-up next door. They have the same owner, and I'll tell you the entire experience from start to finish was stellar! Upon walking in, we were greeted with a champagne toast and led to our table. The service was amazing, attentive, and very friendly. The food was very delicious. I got the broccolini as an appetizer and the filet mignon, macaroni, and fingerling potatoes for my entree. The steak was prepared perfectly, and the macaroni was literally some of the best restaurant macaroni I tasted! It was really hard not to order a second order! I finished my meal with the tres leche cake which was also good. I do wish it were a little sweeter, though. Overall, without the pop-up next door, I wouldn't have known this place existed, but now that I do, I'll certainly seek it out again!

    A well run experience with a single fault. This the second time for me here. Brought a friend because the first experience was darn near perfect. Service was great, oyster were tasty with the addition of craft breads. Tried the Bone marrow and was pleased with the new flavor. The photo of the filet is from my first visit.. perfect temperature for me (rare). This time around the filet was over cooked (mid rare) not rare. I did not send it back but was less than enthused. Everything else was perfect.

    Is there a kids menu?

    No, but all menu items are child approved! Mine is a huge fan of the noodles.

    Can you split steaks?

    My friend and I split a small steak just to taste as we were there for oysters. The couple next to us got the porterhouse which was huge and they split it.

    Came here during restaurant week just to try the restaurant and can say I will be back!…read more I ordered the Ceaser salad with the short rib empanada and short rib gnocchi. The Ceaser salad was the best Ceaser salad I ever had! The short rib empanada and the gnocchi was good as well but the gnocchi was covered in scallions. That wasn't stated on the menu or by our server when I asked if onions were in the dish, so unfortunately I did have to send that back and have it remade then ate the rest once I got back home. I also tried the Black Angus NY and it melt in my mouth like butter. They were busy and it did take a while for the food to come out but the wait was worth it.

    Wow! What a way to spend our 1 year wedding anniversary! I loved this place…read more It has been a few months since eating here but I still find myself thinking about it. Our next trip to Cincinnati; It will be extremely difficult to stay away from here. We spent the day in Newport and around Cincinnati and wanted somewhere nice for the occasion. I was iffy on this place at first... you can throw a rock all over America and hit a place with 'Barrel' in the name these days. The Yelp reviews swing both ways here but I'm here to tell you my take... because it swings so far towards the 5 stars that it's very much a 6 or 7 star place(maybe more). We gauged our arrival time based on other activities that day. We wanted ample time at the nearby Lego exhibit so when we arrived there, we made a reservation for 4:30-5. Eating early and making our way back to Louisville was a great idea. The entire time we were there, no one else came in so we had the entire place to ourselves(It was a Friday). The atmosphere is homey but during busy times, I could see it being noisy. The booths could easily fit 6 people comfortably... probably 8 in some cases depending on how wide some of you are. Special Note: This place highlights The Parrillada Experience for Two on their menu and we wanted it! We didn't order it because at a price tag of 130-and pictures online, we didn't want it to be a failed outing. After our first trip, The Parrillada Exp will be on the agenda next time. It's a mixture of different steaks, sausages, shrimp, sides, and salads. Definitely worth the cost. On to the food: Sausage App - Argentine Chorizo. Farmhouse Sausage. Grilled Ciabatta. Hearts of Palm. Green/Red chimichurri. Pepper Relish. I don't like ordering this type of dish when I go places because you never know if it's going to be delicious or very bad. It ended up being super delicious. We couldn't make up our mind which sauce we liked the best and which meat we liked the best. App PERFECTION! Land and Sea - This is what my wife went with. Asada Skirt Steak. Jumbo Shrimp. Asparagus. Red chimichurri butter. I had bites of the shrimp and it was good. I had to save room for my dish. Wagyu Denver Cut - I went back and forth. Lobster ravioli being on the menu almost made my decision instant but I was going back and forth between ravioli, steak, and a few other things. I asked the server which he recommended of the 4 Chef's cuts. He recommended two... one of which was the Wagyu so I went with it. I wasn't disappointed AT ALL. He mentioned that the Wagyu Denver Cut was a new addition to the menu... I'm not sure but you could definitely tell it was cooked, arranged, and presented with care. I savored every angle of every bite. We also ordered a side of brussels because of course! Originally we were going to dessert somewhere else but went ahead and ordered the Hazelnut Vanilla Creme Brulee here. Perfect ending to the meal. This brulee was light and had the right amount of crunch. It was also larger than expected. We had no complaints with this place. Easily one of the better restaurants I've had in Cincinnati. If you're doubting visiting this place, take the dive! Other notes: They have beer and a small cocktail variety but they primarily seem focused on wine(plenty of options to choose from).

It's a nice vibe, though definitely on the darker side. I ordered the black kale salad, cappellacci (short rib, shallot, thyme), and the branzino. * The kale salad was solid, but a bit heavy on the pecorino. * The cappellacci was decent, though the accompanying elements didn't quite work for me. * The branzino was cooked well, but overall the dish didn't stand out in flavor. In general, the food felt underwhelming for the price. My bill was around $100, and I didn't feel the quality or flavor justified it. Some dishes came across a bit muted -- not sure if that's the intended style, but it didn't land for me. Parking in the area was also a bit inconvenient. Overall: great ambiance, but the food didn't meet expectations for the cost. I probably wouldn't return.

Both were friendly & acknowledged the birthday girl in our party. Atmosphere is great. You could comfortably walk in wearing jeans or come dressed up. Neither would be over or under dressed. The menu has juuuust the right amount of options, which is great! Heather was our waitress & while she was kind, her service skills were lacking. Granted we weren't at a Michelin Star Restaurant, but we also weren't at a dive bar. There was an endless amount of awkward reaching through, over & around when refilling drinks. There were a couple of instances where she actually touched our shoulders to nudge us to the side so she could reach through. Totally not okay during service at a restaurant nicer than a dive bar. We ordered the cheese sticks starter which were so yummy! Highly recommend! A couple of us ordered the Cesar side salad & were highly disappointed. The dressing tasted like it was mayonnaise heavy & then watered down by lettuce that wasn't dried after being rinsed. Even adding tons of extra pepper didn't help. The lettuce also tasted like it has been too wet for too long. The lobster mac was ordered in the group & it was tasty but soooo greasy. So, order with caution. We had the Black N Bleu salad in the group & that was good. The Atlantic Salmon was another dinner ordered & the crust seasoning was delicious! Sadly, the salmon was a bit overdone. It does come with a lobster cream sauce, which confused me. It was only so so & I definitely skipped it entirely. The steamed broccoli was done to perfection though. Not soggy & not too crunchy. We also had the 12oz ribeye & that was great! Flavorful, cooked perfectly! I will add though, that the steak knives need an upgrade. I really wanted to love this place, but we won't return on our next trip to Newport/Cincinnati.

(I will be booking this option from now on.) I ordered the surf and turf seasonal option with lobster and filet mignon cooked medium. I was surprised when a sea scallop I didn't order and a small glass of wine spritzer popped up but this is part of the chefs table experience - it was a sea scallop grilled with a chimichurri sauce and some crispy prosciutto. I would have never ordered this on my own so it was nice to try. I am a not a huge seafood person - the minute I cut into it I smelled the sea which was a turn off and I wasn't a fan of the texture but once I cut into tiny pieces and mixed with the sauce and the proscuitto I was able to actually find myself enjoying the dish plus boy did it look pretty coming out! The chefs table is nice because you get to watch everything be cooked - the mac and cheese looks amazing every single time - omg I must try it sometime. My waitress was phenomenal with purple and blue hair and the glittery eye shadow. She was so attentive and helpful. The steak was so juicy and cooked perfectly - I think next time I would get a larger steak or the grilled shrimp option as I wasn't the biggest fan of the lobster tail but still finished it. The salad was okay - I wish it had ranch instead. I also got the orange cream cloud for dessert to go which was shockingly light, airy and delicious - the citrus flavors with the passion fruit are so refreshing. I can't wait to come back and try something new . The place is beautifully decorated and they offer free parking options - the music is very low so you can have a conversation and even the chefs table wasn't too loud even though it was right next to the kitchen.
