Again not many options on fire island so not much competition…The food is mediocre but good upscale option for the pines to have. Staff is always friendly atmosphere is nice.

The paella special was 💯. Enjoyed the wedge and chicken milanese, but don’t ignore the specials!

We went there in september food was not outspoken for what the interior let it look like. they made it look chique when actually the food was just average you pay for the interior clearly and on top of that they confused our order so we payed 70 dollar from someone’s elses order and they said they would deposit the money but we’ve never received it till this day a bit sad.

Authentic Italian cuisine, thanks to the chef from Florence who we got to know. Strongly recommended

So picture this: we arrive in the pines from Cherry Grove, my wife goes upstairs to see if there's a table available at The bistro. They say no, there's not a table available until 9:00. This is about over an hour wait. So then we send a male companion upstairs to see if he can get a table. He can get a table immediately. Boy when we arrived did these guys look embarrassed. Having said that the food was quite good and the server we had was very good. Females be aware, you may not want to eat at this place. My opinion, extremely misogynistic. Oh, a friend told me to say "PJ train your staff".

Even though this is the only dedicated restaurant space in the Pines, it's not bad. The food is good (not outstanding) and the atmosphere is nice enough. It's pricier than it should be but that's to expected given the location. I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking to take a night off from cooking.
What a hidden gem! I’m used to burgers and fries for fire island eats, but this place could be in the Hamptons! Lovely interior. I don’t know what these queens are talking about, but this place has excellent service! Noah was very attentive and personable. I’ve never had fresh bruschetta brought to the table as a standard appetizer, brilliant! The blueberry burrata special was unique and delicious, and the seafood linguine was chock full of shrimp! (Unlike most places that just throw some on top) I was very impressed by the entire experience. My only complaint is that they don’t have a brunch service because I can only imagine how spectacular that menu would be too! I hope they expand in the future.

Absolute joke of a restaurant. They know they’re the only restaurant on the island so they serve microwave fry ups for $40. The staff has never sat foot in a restaurant before. Absolutely don’t go here. Rude and unprofessional staff and horrible food.

We found the restaurant almost by accident. It’s not easy to find, they could do a better job of making themselves known.It’s the only real sit down restaurant in the pines. The food was good, there was nothing wrong with anything, I just think it had a lot more potential. We got the seafood spaghetti and the steak. It was good. Prices are above average, similar to top of the bay, but not as nice of a place. The best word I can describe this place is normal.

Outstanding and unusual. Much like Fire Island itself. Order one of the specials.
