I am so sorry to say that we had a terrible meal and service at the Pines Tavern last night. We sat at the bar, and it's hard to imagine bad service at the bar but this server basically disappeared, and only after we asked for some attention from one of the other servers did this woman reappear. The meal was described as perch over potatoes and warm Brussels sprout salad with a Swiss chard pesto. This brownish green covered fish(not perch) appeared and sat over cold hard unseasoned fingerlings with black spots throughout and tasteless mushy Brussels sprouts. The most disturbing thing was the color of the pesto, in no way did it look like food, it was truly gross. Since our waitress never checked on us I just picked at it but it was not edible. The Pines always has had an overly ambitious menu, they need to stick to basics and try to master simple fresh food. It's so disappointing because it's a convenient location.
