I have great memories of the Pinestone Inn shortly after it opened so my husband and I decided to treat ourselves to lunch in the restaurant after a hard days work at the cottage.We entered the restaurant and sat with a pleasant view of the pool. There was only one other couple dining and it was not until after we had ordered that I overheard them complaining about how bland and tasteless that their food had been.The bar restaurant was in desperate need of vacuuming with crumbs all over the carpet, including under our table and croutons on the windowsill beside us.When I mentioned the filth to the waitress on my way out she did not apologize but stated " I know, we are not allowed to vacuum when there are any customers in the restaurant.The two young waitresses talked together and were on the phone most of the time, did not offer to refill our water and one coughed frequently without covering her mouth. I hoped fervently that the kitchen was cleaner than the restaurant.I ordered a salad Nicoise which was passable though I had not recalled that this salad apparently contains no lettuce or leafy greens of any sort.My husband ordered a burger and fries and the most positive thing I can say about this overpriced bar meal in dirty surroundings is that we did not get sick!Ruth SOttawa
Great ambiance, service and food. Our server Stephani was friendly and professional. The food was very good. The view over the pool and small lake excellent. Recommend.
Food was absolutely horrible, bland , food did not meet the atmosphere. we were served raw chicken wings and the Chefs pasta was gross , I will not eat here again as it was way better in the past as you can definatly tell the experience of the chef.
