We visited for 'elevenses '. The Covid19 precautions include assigning tables to customers before queuing for food and drink. Since the 'Eat out to help out ' scheme was in operation we decided to have a bacon sandwich as well as coffee and cake. The Covid19 precautions made service a little slow, but it was still friendly.

What bernardbluemist dislikes about Pine Room:
Called into Austins department store today to view their sale and decided to break for coffee in their Pine Room restaurant. Disappointed to find that although they advertise as having free wifi available this did not work on my iPad. I did find the same thing some months ago but thought they might have sorted the problem but evidently not. Such a shame as I shan't bother to visit again. I have rated as poor due to t...

The restaurant offers excellent food at a good price in a pleasant environment within a high-end retail store that provides all the shopping essentials. The store is well-staffed and a joy to visit for both shopping and dining.

Definitely recommended
Often go here for a coffee and a cheese scone or a toasted tea cake on a Saturday, A good place. For a meet up with friends .
I have been coming to this restaurant for around 40 years, on and off. The atmosphere is pleasant, the food and service are consistently good. There is a good variety of food options, including gluten-free choices. Unfortunately, I realized I didn't receive enough change until I was already on my way home. This means I will have to go back to collect the missing £10 note, which I won't be spending in the Pine Room again.
Stopped here on the off chance as I fancied a salad for lunch and glad I did. My egg and prawn salad was made fresh and still delivered quickly. At first I thought it was a little on the expensive side but the portion size was really good so was value for money. There was ample seating, some of this extends into the department store itself but I don’t think it would ever get really noisy even when busy. They have a fairly wide ranging menu so definitely worth a visit. The only negative thing is a poor phone signal and no free Wifi with slow 3G
