The Pines

Not bad, not the best. Cute little bar. Wish I'd known there was curry powder/garam masala/something on everything because I'm allergic to that. Complimentary popcorn? Spicy. Tartar sauce? Spicy. So that kinda ruined my whole night. That and the original waitress's bad attitude (she wasn't supposed to be waitressing, but the other person was late to their shift) as well as the waiter's smartass comment about my diet soda - "I know who this goes to." Excuse me? My husband drinks diet too. The brisket burger/sandwich was pretty good, not quite what I was expecting. Udi's bun. Fries are good. Decent prices.

They are owned by same people that own LJ’s Bistro. So expect the same quality and great food. Menu items are marked and they are well versed in allergies/vegan diet etc. never concerned eating here. They also have some of the best cocktails around.

The chicken sandwich is amazing and totally gluten free. They don’t skimp on flavor and add a cranberry chutney. It’s rare to have a gluten, dairy free meal that tastes indulgent and decadent. Two thumbs up!
