“Just returned from dinner at Pine. Wonderful evening. As my daughter said, the "vibe" was exactly what you'd hope for in a restaurant in this setting...energy was great in the room. The food was extremely good (two pasta dishes, a soup and an app), although the portion sizes were really too much (not much of a complaint, but I feel guilty wasting food). The standout of the night, however, was our waiter, John. I say "waiter" rather than "server" because he truly embodied the old school spirit of the professional waiter....something you don't experience too often any more. I can safely say I've dined out a few thousand times (probably much more) and I am prepared to crown John as the finest waiter I have ever had. Kind, informative, unpretentious, attentive...I can't say enough good things. Well done, Pine, and bravo, John!“
