First visit to this establishment and the food did not disappoint! Best steak I've ever had and my whole group agreed.The environment is definitely small, very (I mean VERY) dimly lit. My camera can take decent pictures in dark environments. Real early 80s vibes.The staff were friendly and personable. The prices seemed steep at first glance, but the quality of the food proved a good price point. Would definitely try again.Parking: behind building. Not many spots available, so get there early. Some on street parking in front. Watch for permit only parking in rear of building as well.

Excellent old school steak house. Whatever they’re doing, it’s working.

What a treasure. Ribeye was incredible. Get the Béarnaise on the side. Garlic dressing was wonderful. Scallops unreal. Unbelievably reasonable prices for the experience. Go.

Bad Help is hard to find...Apparently, Candy is not at all sweet.When we gave feedback to the staff about our waitress displaying textbook passive aggressive behaviour throughout our dinner, The staff said Google reviews would be a better platform to be heard. One staff member told us her name and that she had been working there for over 7yrs. Many customers request not to be served by her.This then explains why we are given cold bread and frozen butter and expected to use a knife that could skin the cow the meat came from rather than a butter knife,Cheap salad that looks like it came from the College commissary, stewed corn starch with a hint of tomato essence. Really??Skimping on these is just....mean.The River Trout was still superb.Price point for value?Ah, give it a miss...

The Pine Club in Dayton, Ohio, established in 1947, is a timeless gem reminiscent of the 1950s era. With its cash-only policy and no reservations allowed, (I know right, cash only) it's a place where you are transported back in time to a different era of dining. The ambiance is unparalleled, exuding a classic charm that enhances the experience. Known for its exceptional steaks, oysters, and shrimp cocktail, the Pine Club delivered us outstanding food. If you're seeking a taste of nostalgia coupled with top-notch dining, the Pine Club is a must-visit destination. Just sit at the bar, have a few drinks, and wait to be seated ?

I was very very disappointed in Pine Club. From them only taking cash, to not having an ATM in their location, to being served cold bread and butter. I most certainly won’t be back. Steak was just ok. If you want a great steak and experience don’t come here. Go to the Oak Club…
Hands down one of the best steak restaurants we have ever been to. I wish I would’ve taken a picture before I started eating. As you can see from the photo, I absolutely loved my meal because there wasn’t much left. And I have no idea what they do to the stewed tomatoes but they are to die for. It is a little bit dark and they only accept cash so keep that in mind.

Long-established steakhouse with attentive service and really good food. The 16 ounce strip loin came to around $70 with side dishes and a drink including tip, which is very cheap for this quality. The guest room is discreetly lit, great atmosphere. Reservations are not accepted.

Ok the service here is fantastic along with the great atmosphere. the restaurant has a great feel to it .great for a date night my gripes are they don't accept card this Is a cash only restaurant so that could change most people don't carry cash these days and then the sides needs some work if I'm paying top dollar for my meal the salad should be top notch as well only having carrot and a little cheese on the salad is skimping out . I have been to many other places that have croutons egg cheese tomatoes all I'm saying is work on the salad and you got to get some sweet tea
