   Was thereto celebrate my daughters birthday. Was seated at 6:28 pm for. 6:30 reservation. Waited 18 minutes before we got drinks. We ordered appetizers at that time. Received appetizers one hour after being sat. At that time we ordered dinner which it did not come till 8 pm. I had to send my dinner back because it looked like it sat out for at least an hour and it did not taste right. We order dessert for my daughter and asked for a candle. Desert came out 30 minutes later without a candle. I felt horrible for my daughter because it was the worst experience.

   Garden area is very warm and the fans don't have a major impact to improve it. Everything else was great.

   Brought out of town family for dinner. It was delicious. We all ordered different entrees and they were all cooked to perfection. Appetizers were also good. Service was great. We ate on the patio which is beautiful. Was a very warm evening so I think overhead fans would have worked better to cool it down. The new enclosure keeps the heat in. Other than that a perfect evening.

   What a horrible experience. 5:30 Reservation on 7/2/22. Dined there many times for years, but first experience for our friends. One round of drinks. No rolls, no visits from waitress with updates. When waitress finally was flagged down after many attempts ( 75 minutes into our stay) the news was our order was put in 10 minutes ago and would be there in 10 minutes. I had watched entire room empty and be refilled with new guests. Ten minutes later, manager stopped by, was informed we were not happy. His reply to us was …it was a holiday weekend, they were short staffed and it takes 25 minutes to make the fish order and the chicken order( other 2 items were burgers). It was announced “We will not be back”. His reply, SIR, I’M GLAD YOU ARE NOT COMING BACK! We were not charged, but three of us left hungry. Tile fish ( the special) was fine, both burger orders were wrong, and the baked chicken with mushroom sauce was barely warm and too salty to eat. Valet service was great, I must say, the only positive of the evening, and the only reason for a star.

   The only suggestion I can make is for more fans, perhaps ceiling fans, just to keep the air moving

    Food has dramatically changed in a negative direction since out last visit. Order sautéed red snapper it was dry and super fried. Million dollar burgers lacked flavor. Had the mussel appetizer very bland and lacked flavor. Not sure that I would go back.

    I was really looking forward to sitting in the greenhouse! I was so disappointed because there were a lot of tables in there and only four fans. I think it was just a little too warm but they needed more fans to keep the flies away! I would only sit out there in the fall maybe spring.

    The service was slow and the food was mediocre except for the steak. There was no bread served with the meal. There were no sides served with the ravioli - I had to order a salad, otherwise I would have just had a plate of ravioli (which wasn't that exceptional). The chocolate cake was dry and just not very flavorful. We were not offered coffee/tea with our dessert. The server was not very attentive and didn't go out of his way to make our meal a pleasurable experience. It was our 42nd wedding anniversary we did not have a very celebratory experience. We will have to go elsewhere to have a "make-up" dinner to counter the not so good experiencewe had at the Pineville Tavern.

    The greenhouse room is lovely, but being completely glass enclosed without any cross ventilation, on a summer day, it is a hot house! The food and service, however, does not disappoint. Excellent Clams Casino, outstanding Ravioli, delicious Roasted Beet Salad and scrumptious Eggplant Napoleon!

    The food was good but the service was sub par. Very slow to serve and poor communication. We dined in the tent outside which is nice except that is was uncomfortably hot and stuffy. Better circulation and climate control needed for summer months.

    What a huge disappointment!! We were here approximately 8/9 months ago and had a very good dining experience. Tonight, was the complete opposite. Food was beyond awful. Their "famous" snapper soup was completely inedible! No taste, thick and just disgusting. Ravioli were ok, Tuna special was very mediocre. Only hoping Matt Levin is no longer the Chef because that would be the only explanation for the lack of quality in the food. Will not go back!!

    We usually come here and LOVE the ambiance of outdoor and the food is usually great. Especially the fried chicken. This time the mood just seemed a little off. I came here this time to celebrate my birthday with my family and figured this was a safe bet. I also have some strict dietary restrictions and figured I would get the roasted beet salad with frisbee and goat cheese and salmon with cauliflower. The beet salad was mostly Arugula with small little squares of beets. Not really a "beet salad" more an arugula salad with some beets - The goat cheese was very good though. The salmon was over cooked and came with a pickled cauliflower mush on top (YUCK) and mash potatoes with some sort of tomato sauce underneath. Which I would not actually eat. My daughter cauliflower tacos we also a bit over cooked and the shell was really hard to bite. My sons steak and mash potatoes were fine though. All in all - Not the best visit this time.

    We saw that the Greenville tavern was featured on the news regarding their outdoor garden seating. My husband's birthday was approaching and we decided to go there for his birthday dinner. The outdoor garden area was very nice. We were seated and our drink order was taken and we put in for appetizers. There was a misunderstanding with the mussels my husband wanted and even when they were corrected, they had sand in them and had very little flavor. He could not get them down. I had clams casino and they were pretty good. My husband initially ordered the prime rib and shortly thereafter was told that they did not have any left. I had the crab cake. Again very little flavor. My husband had a sirloin steak and it was chewy. So after spending more than $150 on a meal that we were not satisfied with needless to say we will not be back. I reached out to the Pineville tavern to share our experience and was never given the courtesy of a reply.

    Dined inside on a fairly warm night, lightly populated back dining room, reservations for two and were seated immediately. Decor is a little random, one expects a more straight colonial tavern theme from the website and the exterior, but it was not unpleasant. The waitress brought our menus and took our drink order quickly, though our requested tweak the Moscow Mule to add muddled basil was scuttled owing to lack of basil in the kitchen. There was a special fried oyster appetizer with jalapeno remoulade that was outstanding and generous, and arrived fairly quickly after the order had been placed. The mains were skirt steak and frites and the million dollar burger, both medium rare. The skirt steak was spot on for doneness, very well seasoned, flavorful, and generously portioned with a likewise ample supply of fairly good but not outstanding frites. Condiments (ketchup) arrived in small plastic cups, the requested salt and pepper were picnic packaging plastic and a disposable pepper mill type, respectively; serviceable, but, um, rustic. The burger was outstandingly good, cooked to perfection, very meaty and flavorful bacon slabs, beautifully caramelized onions, and a quite decently sharp cheddar slice, accompanied by nicely cooked, slightly brown potato planks/fries. Also on the menu were more upmarket, bordering on fine-dining entrees with fine-dining prices. For what we ordered, were were very well pleased, but the tavern seems a little conflicted about its target diner. I'd love to see this place emulate Monks from Philadelphia; give me a 30 or more craft beer options, a deeper wine list, a short, eclectic, but killer menu of tavern fare, and I'd drop by frequently. I'm not sure inexpensive flatware, picnic salt and pepper, and the casual, non-uniform attire theme is what the fine-dining crowd expects, but it is cool for the beer-seeking, authentic tavern crowd.

    Everything here was great! The food was absolutely phenomenal. I had the chicken parmesan, and that was so flavourful. The sauce with the chicken and spaghetti was highly seasoned and hearty. My girlfriend ordered the steak, and she said it was also spectacular. The two sides that she ordered she said were great, too. The French onion soup, clams casino, and the ravioli was great too. The drinks were fantastic as well. We will definitely come back here, as the food is so delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our time.
