The Tavern at Pine Barn Inn

The restaurant was beautiful. The staff was very nice and professional. I don’t remember a time when every Person in a group disliked their food before tonight. I Ordered crabcakes. They came with parsnips as a side as well as a baked potato, which was Not cooked thoroughly. Neither tasted good. My son ordered meatloaf. They put cheese on it and then mashed potatoes on top. The mashed potatoes were OK the meatloaf he couldn’t eat it and When I tasted it, I thought it was literally Gross the third person in our party had chicken fingers which he said were OK they were the best of the three meals The desserts we had, though were delicious.

We were with a large group. Waitress was very good. Everyone was served basically together. Omelet was good. Somewhat loud but they had us separated from the main dining area pretty nicely.

I dined here on 2/25. During the meal I found a hair in my salad. I brought it to the waitress’s attention and was told, “I’ll let them know.” No manager came to the table and the item remained on the bill without any follow-up. I understand that things can happen, but I expected a bit more care in addressing it, especially given the overall cost of the meal. The lack of acknowledgment was disappointing. Hoping this was just an off night.

We drove through Danville on our way home and wanted to try something different for lunch. We almost didn't stop here because the most recent reviews weren't great. The outside entrance also doesn't make it obvious where to go to get to the restaurant. But we found it, and a friendly hostess immediately greeted us and walked us to a table. Our server, Shelby, was wonderful! We soon realized that she was handling all the tables by herself. It was busy, and she was doing an amazing job. We never felt forgotten. Plus, our food was delicious and reasonably priced. My husband raved about his smoked brisket melt with fries! He also ordered coconut cream pie and loved that too. We had an enjoyable time, and I would absolutely return if ever back in the area.

An excellent experience, and it was at lunch. Could only imagine dinner or a special occasion. Service was top notch, classy and sophisticated. Quick but not rushed. Food was presented as one would experience in a big city 5 star restaurant. Unique and cultured yet down-to-earth and surprisingly comfortable and not intimidating. Price was surprisingly affordable. Highly Recommended.
