This was my first time visiting the hyped up Pine Club. I was not impressed. The food was good, but the service was terrible. Our server was not informative, or friendly and for the price I would expect better treatment. The meal was almost $200 with tip and I shouldn't have left a tip other than change careers. They have a dress code so I dressed up a little more than usual and then the hostess met us at the door in leggings. Wow! So disappointed after all the hype, but the food was good.PARKING SUCKS!Kid-friendliness: Not really a kid friendly environment. Mostly a bar feel with some college kids and senior citizens.Wheelchair accessibility: Very close quarters, would be difficult for wheelchair and walkers.

Love this place. My family has been coming here for years. Although it is a little pricey we always feel the value is there for what you get. The steaks are always perfectly cooked and great quality. It is always a tough decision to choose which of the amazy side dishes to pick. The staff and atmosphere is always great.

First visit to this establishment and the food did not disappoint! Best steak I've ever had and my whole group agreed.The environment is definitely small, very (I mean VERY) dimly lit. My camera can take decent pictures in dark environments. Real early 80s vibes.The staff were friendly and personable. The prices seemed steep at first glance, but the quality of the food proved a good price point. Would definitely try again.Parking: behind building. Not many spots available, so get there early. Some on street parking in front. Watch for permit only parking in rear of building as well.

What a treasure. Ribeye was incredible. Get the Béarnaise on the side. Garlic dressing was wonderful. Scallops unreal. Unbelievably reasonable prices for the experience. Go.
Bad Help is hard to find...Apparently, Candy is not at all sweet.When we gave feedback to the staff about our waitress displaying textbook passive aggressive behaviour throughout our dinner, The staff said Google reviews would be a better platform to be heard. One staff member told us her name and that she had been working there for over 7yrs. Many customers request not to be served by her.This then explains why we are given cold bread and frozen butter and expected to use a knife that could skin the cow the meat came from rather than a butter knife,Cheap salad that looks like it came from the College commissary, stewed corn starch with a hint of tomato essence. Really??Skimping on these is just....mean.The River Trout was still superb.Price point for value?Ah, give it a miss...

The Pine Club in Dayton, Ohio, established in 1947, is a timeless gem reminiscent of the 1950s era. With its cash-only policy and no reservations allowed, (I know right, cash only) it's a place where you are transported back in time to a different era of dining. The ambiance is unparalleled, exuding a classic charm that enhances the experience. Known for its exceptional steaks, oysters, and shrimp cocktail, the Pine Club delivered us outstanding food. If you're seeking a taste of nostalgia coupled with top-notch dining, the Pine Club is a must-visit destination. Just sit at the bar, have a few drinks, and wait to be seated ?
