The Pine Food Drink - Athens

Next, the bartender crafted a delicious cocktail for me, a blend of Reposado Tequila, lime juice, and soda water—essentially my version of a margarita. She did an excellent job; it tasted just like something I would make myself. Then I tried the Pimento Cheese Appetizer. While it had a great presentation and decent flavor, the sweetness of the balsamic reduction overshadowed the pimento cheese, which I felt should have been the star of the dish. It made for a fantastic picture, though! For my final dish, I ordered the Hand Rolled Pasta special: Fusilli Pasta with Chicken, Okra, Butternut Squash, and Alfredo sauce. Although the waitress described it as bursting with flavor, I found it quite bland. Unfortunately, I arrived a bit late and felt rushed by the staff since I was one of the few customers in the restaurant. I was asked at least 7 or 8 times if I was ready to order, but I prefer to take my time when choosing my meal. I believe in giving every restaurant at least two chances, as various factors can influence the outcome of a meal. I plan to return for lunch soon to see if my experience was just a one-off or indicative of the kitchen's performance.

My group visited this restaurant for dinner for the first time and decided to treat ourselves by ordering one of each of the small plates. We really enjoyed the food, the atmosphere, and the staff! Our waitress, Frances, was fantastic and made our experience even better. Thank you so much!

The staff is fantastic, and the food is amazing! I can honestly say I've never had a bad meal at this place.

Always delicious! The service was outstanding! It's definitely one of our favorite places to visit.

This is a fantastic spot for brunch in Athens, with friendly staff and prompt service. They offer outdoor patio seating, which is ideal for sunny days. Parking is a bit limited in the back, but you can easily park at Earth Fare and walk over in about 5 minutes. I ordered the Hot Chicken Biscuit (with the hot sauce served on the side), while my friend chose the New Orleans Style Eggs. The chicken on my dish was somewhat dry and overcooked, but the biscuit was delicious.
