This is a must try place in Athens! The bartender recommended the espresso martini too with cold foam and it was absolutely delightful. One of the cooks came out of the kitchen too and recommended the short rib which melted in my mouth! Fast and attentive service! I will definitely be back!

The focaccia was the showstopper! Really interesting menu, and great service and drink specials. Portions are small, but of course they are tapas. The charcuterie boards are pretty fun too.

Tapas, wine, cheese, and a nice comfortable feel.
There’s a nice variety of dishes along with some pretty interesting wines and good cocktails (and mocktails)
The dishes are flavorful with deep savory flavors and interesting mixes like bacon-wrapped dates.
All in all it is a great place for a date night or a social gathering. It feels like a place to have a good conversation over interesting food and wine.
I wouldn’t go here to fill up on food, but rather have a great conversation about the food. Might be a good place for you single folks to bond a little!
It is not a bargain in terms of quantity of food or prices. But you get excellent service and high quality dishes.
We’ve been here several times and on this last visit We did note a few inconsistencies on the dishes. But nothing to be upset about.
Our server, Rachel, was excellent and attentive. It always helps to have a pleasant, cheerful person interacting with you as you select your choices.
We like this place so we will be back. But if you’re expecting a speedy, inexpensive, plates overflowing with food kind of experience, keep looking. The food and wine is the experience here.
A couple of other notes.
They have a nice outdoor seating area. We haven’t used it. But in July in Athens you can sweat out more water than you can drink…
Parking is a challenge. They do have a lot in the back but it is often full and there are several restaurants lined up in this area. The parking lot is a lot like musical chairs in four-wheel drive. I suggest dropping people off and circling the block and parking on one of the side streets. Just don’t park on a yellow curb.

The Pine is a great spot for date night. We made reservations for a Friday night and had a great seat. Our waitress was super sweet and gave some good food and drink recommendations. We tried six of the tapas dishes but our favorites were the focaccia, pimento cheese crostini, and dates. The brick oven in the kitchen have the space a cool vibe.

First and foremost, The Pine decor, ambience, location and food presentation are fantastic but the flavor of most of the food (I ordered) left a lot to be desired.
I had the Crab Cakes to start with, and to be honest they were the best thing I had all night! They were HUGE! As in tons of crab meat and were nicely cooked with great flavor and crunch, even as they were incredibly thick. The peanut sauce under it added to the complexity of the flavor profile and concluded what was my favorite dish of the evening.
The bartender made me a delicious cocktail next, a mixture of Reposado Tequila, lime juice and soda water – my version of a margarita. She did a fantastic job making it and it tasted as if I’d made it myself.
Pimento Cheese Appetizer was next on the agenda, it had great A++++++ Presentation and a decent flavor profile. The sweetness of the balsamic reduction overpowered, what I thought the flavor of the pimento cheese should have taken mainstage, the namesake of the plate. Made for a fantastic picture though!!
My final dish of the evening was the Hand Rolled pasta special – Fusilli Pasta with Chicken, Okra and Butternut Squash and a Alfredo sauce to bring it together. While it sounded like it “Bursts with flavor” on the plate description from the waitress, It was very bland IMO.
I was a little late getting there and felt like the waitress rushed my dinner due to me being one of the lone patrons in the restaurant. I was probably asked at least 7-8 times was I ready to order and I like to take my time choosing which dish I’ll have on the evening. I like to give every restaurant at least two tries because you never know what influenced the outcome of your dinner on any given night and I’ll go back for lunch here in the near future to see if it was just me or a off night for the kitchen…….

Great place for brunch in Athens, friendly staffs and quick services. They have the patio seats outside perfect for sunny days. Parking is limited in the back but you can park at Earth Fare and walk over (5mins). I got the Hot Chicken Biscuit (the hot sauce was separately) and my friend got the New Orleans Style Eggs. The chicken on mine was a bit dry/overcooked but the biscuit was good.

We enjoyed the tapas very much. Amazing oysters, creative dishes like spiced watermelon and bacon wrapped dates. I get this shrimp dish with ham, garlic and crusty bread every time I got there. The drink selection is incredible. Cheers!

Sat at the bar, good service, food was hot but some was a little salty for my preference. For a tapas restaurant with a couple of people in the group, it would be nice if the kitchen sent out cutlery for sharing dishes, not for every dish but would have been nice to have a knife and serving spoon for sharing.
Had several dishes including the cauliflower elote and sliders. Elote was really fantastic, sliders were just ok heavy on salt and overcooked. I expected medium since she did not ask about a temp but they were almost well done, dry and overcooked.
I like that you can pick what you want on the charcuterie plate & everything else the group had was decent.

Good restaurant with great service. A couple of vegan options on the menu. Okra, cauliflower, and hummus were all great.
