   We had reservations and showed up on time. We were greeted by the hostess and she took us to the noisy Bar area for seating. My wife immediately asked her to seat us in the restaurant area, which we passed through on the way to the bar. We seated and waited to be waited on. The room we were in was part of the old tavern built in 1742 it had history. The room was not decorated for Christmas but we conversed about the history. Unlike the online photos, the room was NOT that way. No table cloths the napkins were paper. Anyway, it was from 1742. We’re were greeted by our waiter and ordered or food. Meanwhile the room was filling up with other customers. As time went by we couldn’t help but notice the customers that had come in well behind us were being served their food. After seeing about five tables served I asked the waiter when we could expect ours, he said he’d check. About five minutes later out it came. Now keep in mind we had been seated for at least 45 minutes by this time. The FOOD. My wife had ordered the crab cake with grilled Brussel sprouts. The crab was great full of meat but, the sprouts well let’s just say WAY OVERDONE. My daughter and I had ordered the steak. Mine was BURNT on the bottom and hers was underdone. Sine we had been there for almost an hour we didn’t send them back. We finished and the waiter brought our bill. It was correct and I signed a copy BUT WAIT it was the wrong copy. My wife read the fine print on the MERCHANTS COPY. If I had left the customers copy they would have changed me an additional 15%. SO BE AWARE. Bottom line our dining experience was less than we had expected. Maybe a steak sandwich with fries would have been better.

   Pineville Tavern is a good restaurant not fancy but good food that you can always count on! We always love the chicken parm and my husband had a great filet mignon! Great service! The outdoor greenhouse does get chilly in the winter even with the heating but the ambiance is lovely!

   Pork Schnitzel was raw (both orders) Manager was great though. Comped two of the meals and dessert. Very disappointed for a place I heard so many great things about.

   We've been here several times before. If this were our first time, we wouldn't be going back. Our food (both appetizer and entrees) took a very long time. Over 45 minutes to deliver a burger and French dip sandwich? And when it came, my husband's medium rare burger was actually well done. I could understand if the restaurant was struggling to keep up, but I saw other diners order after us and get their food before us. Our server repeatedly forgot about us, as most of her tables were in another room. We had to ask a bus boy for refills on drinks, and I had to track her down to ask for the check. Our bill for a shared app, 2 soft drinks and 2 sandwiches came to nearly $70.

   We ate in the enclosed garden area. Hostess said it wasn’t cold out but everyone was eating with there coats on including us. Very cold which made dinning disappointing.

   We loved the chicken wings and the crab cake was delicious! Valet parking made it easy to pull in.
