Pine Tavern RestaurantAn ongoing favorite of ours!This perennially good restaurant is always worth a visit. Their "scones," really just rolls with honeybutter are fabulous, and servers are always willing to bring more. My husband's 6-oz filet and my seafood risotto (a nightly special) were both excellent. The view of Mirror Pond and the flower-filled gardens is always a treat. This restaurant has successfully merged old-style comfort foods (meatloaf is still on the menu) and the Northwest emphasis on fresh and relatively local ingredients with more interesting flavor combinations. We have never been disappointed here!5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMHappy dinerWe loved the restaurant with its view of the Deschutes River and its very famous pine tree. The ambience in the Garden Room was good with very little noise. Our waiter was very friendly and very informative of the foods and their specialties of the night, We had a large group and he treated all of us with the individual attention had we been a smaller group. The Steelhead was excellent. We will be back again5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMOur server was attentive,Our server was attentive, prime rib was med-rare as ordered, and the garden area was beautiful with tulips of in a rainbow of colors; we had hesitated to go based on other reviews but wanted to give another try as we have always enjoyed dinners here. We were not disappointed at all!!5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMOne of my favorites of all timeTraveling through Bend for Mother's Day weekend and I wanted to dine at Pine Tavern for my present. We used to live in Bend 20 years ago, and dining at Pine Tavern was always for special occasions. This is the first time we have dined there since we have had our 6 year old little girl. I was so impressed with their menu for her. She loved her food, which makes my dining experience so much easier. My husband and I totally enjoyed our meals too. And then when the bill came, and they said my daughter's meal was free, with the purchase of our meals, it was the topping to the experience. It was a completely wonderful Mother's Day meal and I am so glad we were traveling through!!5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMMothers Day WeekendI made a reservation over a week in advance. Upon arrival the hostesses seemed confused and it took them too long to figure things out. Pretty simple in my opinion....6:30 p.m. reservation and I specifically requested a window table and the first attempt was a table in the middle of the room. Not sure how much experience these ladies have in the restaurant industry but when a customer requests a reservation that far in advance and a window table there should be no question. I got my window table but with a slight attitude from the hostess. Not very professional.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMcharming restaurantwe went to the pine tavern restaurant to celebrate an anniversary. We sat by the window overlooking the garden and deschutes river. the patio would have also been nice if the weather permitted. the scones and honey butter that come with th emeal are yummy and the prime rib was perfect. there is a pine tree growing in the middles of the restaurant that isnt as spectacular as you might think. having some plants around it would make it look more "foresty"5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMWent there for a special BirthdayWent there for a special Birthday dinner. Every single part of the dinner and the staff was just truly exceptional!5/8/2013 12:00:00 AMMust keep coming back!As usual the food was excellent. Our wait person, Katie, was amazing.

Katie was our server and she was awesome! One of my all time favorites in Bend. It is always dependable for great food, great wine, great service.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food is good dependingThe food is good depending on what you order. Disappointed in the overall offerings of the menu-not enough reasonable choice. The menu is in danger of being priced out of the range of upper-middle-class people such as our selves. A 32 dollar steak should at least include a salad. I had the New York steak; it was good but not excellent for that price. I would give it an 85 out of 100. You are competing with many other restaurants that have similar menus but with much greater choice and often better value. These are tough times. Your restaurant is attempting to move up to a level of gourmet dining that may not be practical for today's family dining. We did receive a fantastic complimentary mud pie to celebrate an anniversary! Thank you!4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways an outstanding experience.Always an outstanding experience. We look forward to going to the Pine Tavern whenever we come to Bend. Selections change seasonally and are always prepared perfectly.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMWe enjoyed our meal.
