A true heritage tradition in Bend, the Pines with it's two pine trees rising though the floor and ceiling, offers great food, superb service, and a relaxing atmosphere.
Our reservation was for 5:30 and the restaurant was already busy. We were quickly seated in the back overlooking the water.
Our waiter was a high energy person and was very attentive without making us feel hurried.
The steak fries and garlic fries appitizers were both great, although the steak fries would be my choice next time.
I had the pulled pork without the bun (gluten intolerance) and was offered seasonal vegetables ( superb green beans ) all of which were very tasty. My wife had the chicken Marsala which after I had a taste was a much better choice.
Our companions had the blackened rockcod and rib eye steak which they enjoyed.
The Pines has an excellent wine and beer list. Wine is offered by the bottle or glass.
All in all an excellent dinning experience.
If you have not been be sure to try it.
