★★★★★ 5.0 Julia Brandt · Feb 2026

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.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Jim Elayan · Jul 2022

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

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++++++ Pr
