Great atmosphere the food is well prepared. Great for parties or even a couple's night out. I had like the best perloo it was fresh piled high. Definitely going back

I love The Pinery. Have been there about 5 times. But no longer will go back because the food is terribly, terribly, terribly salty. We had the Yellowfin Fin Tuna Tartare appetizer, and could not finish it. Maybe it was the saltiest soy sauce, maybe it was the cheff adding insulty to injury. Also had the Brisket and Brioche, and left more than half because it was unbearable to each with salt. The entrees were salty also, even when we asked to not ade salt to our steaks and other items. What is the chef thinking? The saltiest the more people like it? Probably. But not in my party. Cameron and the staff were wonderful. Sorry about the one star. The amount of salt ruined our experience.

Super delicious food and great service!

For such an expensive restaurant this place leaves little to be desired. It was extremely loud and the entree was brought before I even finished the salad. Poor training, very disappointing. Wish the manager had stopped by the table, so I could have spoken to him/her instead of writing this review.

I only had a Caesar salad and a drink. Both were fantastic. I was alone, so I sat at the bar. The bar tender was nice and made my drink perfectly. I will visit here again the next time I'm in the Orlando area.

Great service and food! We really enjoyed the manager, Ciera! She was great as were all the staff. Thank you!

Disappointed. The duck looked nothing like the menu picture.
Great bread service Fully expected and adequate Cesar salad Duck should have been crispy skin, some char like in the picture. The entree was plated like a kid did it.
Server was cool and helpful It's dark and kind of casual in there

Complimentary valet parking. Indoor and outdoor seating. Specialty menus and drinks. The service was outstanding, well-timed, and considerate. The food was served hot and I have to say quite tasty. You can't go wrong with and dessert you choose. I will be a return customer.

Absolutely amazing. If you are a tourist and want a nice meal with a cool local vibe, this is the place to get away from the tourist traps.
Great food, very clean, great service.
BTW, a shout out to Tiara. A great server! I hope I spelled your name right.
Cold bread service. Cold sides. Best menu items were the cold apps. Cocktail was rather stiff.. that's good. The honey pedal brie was amazing.. the fried green tomatoes were at best room temp but still delicious! Server was very nice and have great service. Paige saved the exp from being a complete let down. Sadly the kitchen did not help themselves at all by serving up heat lamp chewy biscuits fried bread and fries, broccolini, and topping it off I booked a reservation weeks in advanced only to have it go unread until the meal was done leaving me to explain our dietary restrictions to the server after being offered all the things we can't eat. I had to send the Tile fish back as it was very fishy.. it was hard to breath kinda smelly. It was not bad fish.. but it was very pungent to smell and bland to taste.
Overall not impressed with the price tag vs the offerings, I would suggest getting the kitchen staff on par with your image.
The manager was very nice and accommodating. When he found out that I had simply fished back to the kitchen, he comped the dish and they made me some risotto to go. It was overall a 5 of 10 experience.
The kitchen should also be kept clean.. customers shouldn't be able to see through the kitchen door and see trash all over the floor .. it's just a big turn off but understandable in a rush. But it was not busy when we arrived.

Stopped by here late saturday with some friends for a drink at the bar. I liked the quiet atmosphere it was very calming. They also had Tvs at the bar which was nice. I also like the setup they have outdoors for eating/dining.

I cannot say enough good things about The Pinery! The food here is simply outstanding. The Lobster BLT is out of this world—dare I say, better than what you’d find in Massachusetts, and trust me, I know lobster! The Blue Crab appetizer was equally amazing, with every bite packed full of flavor. Both the Caesar and Wedge salads were to die for—perfectly fresh and deliciously dressed.
The drinks were absolutely on point, crafted with care and creativity. To top it all off, our server for the evening, Paige, was exceptional! She was attentive, friendly, and made our dining experience even more enjoyable.
If you’re looking for excellent food, a great atmosphere, and fantastic service, The Pinery is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back!

Amazing views, incredible menu that frequently changes, knowledgeable bartenders and a delightful collection of staff genuinely in tune with every customer experience! A must visit in Orlando!
I am saddened to write this review and to give 3/5 stars to The Pinery, one of my top restaurants in Orlando. The first few times I visited some years ago, I had a stellar experience, the atmosphere, the location, the theme, the menu, etc. It’s definitely one of the best places overall I have ever been. Nonetheless, the last time I left with a huge disappointment around food. Shrimp & Grits were very basic, lacking flavor and let’s not talk about the portions… I left hungry! The Clam Pasta was very good, however, both plates for the price is definitely not worth it. Hoping you can take this very honest review into consideration, this is one of my favorite places in Orlando. Besides the food and prices, the service from our server was stellar, he is amazing!
