I like to bring visitors from out of town here for a classic "Old Bend" atmosphere. McCormick runs a good restaurant. The last couple times, service has been a bit spotty, but Bend is a very expensive place to live, and finding and keeping staff is no doubt a significant challenge. The food is consistently very good.

The food was delicious, especially the sauces on the meat. The specials are very tasty, highly recommended. We went late night on a weekday, and was still very lively, the front room is very energetic, and the back has great views.
I have never written a bad review before, but I hope that this will help a local restauraunt make positive changes. We have eaten here many times, always with good experience. Tonight, 3/28 was an absolute 180. Our waitress came right over to take our drink order before we had a chance to look at the menu, usually not a problem, but tonight I asked her for 1 minute and held up 1 finger. It took over 20 minutes before she came back. It took another 20 minutes to get our drinks after they were ordered, and another 20 minutes to get a glass to drink our now warm beer out of. It was another 1/2 hour to come back for our meal order. I wanted another beer and even though the empty glass was sitting out in plain sight near the edge of the table, no re-visit. My daughter's margarita was rancid, almost like the citrus had spoiled, we sat it, still full, at the edge of the table, opposite from where she was sitting, it was ignored until after the bartender came to clear the drink glasses. The food, however was good, as we expected from other visits.

We stayed in Bend for one night and really had trouble picking a spot to eat since everything looked so good and was rated well! Eventually we settled here and made a reservation for a private booth (definitely recommend). The food was FANTASTIC, the only reason I gave a 4/5 is the buns, we only got 4 of them and they disappeared too fast they were sooooooo good. Next time we're in town we're gonna stop by again!!
I recently had a positive experience at Pine Tavern and left a good review. However, my opinion changed when I visited with friends on February 29th. Despite arriving at 7:38pm, well within the posted hours (open until 8pm), we were informed by the hostess that the bar was closed due to winter hours not listed. We politely asked if we could quickly have a drink with our out-of-town friends, but were told by the bartender that they were closed.As we were leaving, we encountered another couple arriving who claimed to have reservations. Confused, we went back in to inquire, only to be met with sarcasm from the bartender who reiterated that they were closed & have a nice evening. Disappointed, we decided to try elsewhere and ended up at the Brickhouse, where we had a great experience & a very nice evening with drinks and dessert. I would highly recommend Brickhouse for dinner or drinks.

Every time we visit Bend we have a dinner at The Pine Tavern. We have dined here for 30+ years. Always fun and consistently good.
Normally, the food is great, but not this time. Onion soup prepared by non-talented kitchen person. Yucky. Caesar salad, got the dregs of produce bag. I can get much better from store. It will be a long long time before we return. This place has the time and reputation that NOTHING should leave the kitchen less than gorgeous and tasty.Parking: Better have the parking app. Hopeful a manager person will read this and contact me. Onion soup has gone way way down in quality. As did the caesar.

Not the Pine Tavern of 30 years ago. It's time for a major makeover of the menu, service, and facility. The menu is unimaginative, and portions are much too large.
