Pine Bistro is a fabulous upscale restaurant offering delicious Mediterranean and Lebanese cuisines. You'll find them on Dean Martin and Cactus, they're in a serene neighborhood near the apartments of Keller Cactus Hills. Parking is limited.
Interior dining space is gorgeous with plenty of seating for tables, a banquette, by the bar, and they have a lovely outdoor patio. Atmosphere and music vibe is peaceful and relaxing, the place is embellished with natural decor that's appealing and is captivated with alluring artwork by Koa Paden.
Every table has a foldable menu that's cleverly designed over cloth napkins. Offerings include a nice selection of cold and hot appetizers, refreshing salads, savoury grilled kabobs and shawarma plates of chicken and beef, and there's option for seafood and vegetarian dish.
Fry Trio ($11) is a great starter for a shareable, it's crispy french fries topped in a trio of seasonings of original, spiced, and za'atar, served with mild spicy shatta, garlic whip, and ketchup. I love Hummus ($13) and Baba Ghanoush ($13), both appetizers are fantastic! Hummus is smooth and delicious with toppings of chickpeas, and the roasted eggplant dip is chunky, very flavorful, and complements wonderfully with sweet pomegranates.
Fattoush Salad ($15) is glorious and full of beautiful flavors of pomegranates, sumac, toasted pita, and lemon vinaigrette. Batata Harra ($11) is also very delicious, it's well-seasoned potatoes cooked to perfection, and I really enjoyed Fatayer ($13) which is a crispy pastry stuffed with tasty spinach, pine nuts, and pomegranates, and it's delightful with hummus.
They offer an array of cocktail drinks. I opted for Temple of Niha ($15) which is similar to a mojito, it has lime with orange blossom syrup and is very refreshing with Baklava & Ice Cream ($11), the yummy pairing of sweet and crunchy dessert with house made pistachio ice cream makes it excellent!
Overall service is exceedingly remarkable, friendly, attentive and welcoming. Trevor, Low, Drew, Chef Dany, and Daniel made my dining experience memorable and so amazing! The restaurant is a beautiful venue for date night, special gathering and for hosting parties, and the food and outstanding service is phenomenal!
