However, there are two different priced menus, one for the restaurant and one for the bar. They serve the same food for much less in the bar. Example is the crab cakes, restaurant @ $15., the bar's price is @$7. sHowever, the restaurant is more elegant, the bar more casual and much less seating. If you go on a week-end and want to sit in the bar area you have to be there by 5 PM. My husband and I are there at least two a month, we like the atmosphere and the food. I do recommend it. Good luck!

We usually dine out at ethnic places (Chinese, Japanese, Tex-Mex, Indian, Italian) so we don't have American food high on our list of priorities. However, if you do like American food, you'll probably LOVE The Pines. DG (also of Katz!) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dennis F.

The prices are lower and I personally like the atmosphere in the bar much better. Try the peppers from hell as an appetizer. They're really good!! CindyK
