   We were a table of 6 on a Friday night. We had reservations and were sat right away. It did take the server 10 minutes to greet us. She was very nice but felt like they were short staffed. We ordered drinks, the dirty martinis were very good! We had the calamari and mussels red for apps. The calamari pieces were very small and overcooked. Why serve guacamole with calamari?? The mussels red were very good but needed to be served with crostini or grilled bread (we did not get any bread) I ordered the French onion soup which was good but was missing a lot of the onions. I had the beet salad with chicken. The salad itself was very good but the chicken was precooked/overcooked and dry. My wife had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich which I tried, it was good but the portion was very small for the price. My mother in law had the raviolis and loved them. The burgers here are always good, my son had that. Overall, it was just ok especially for the price.

   We had a great dinner at the Pineville Tavern, following a day at Peddler’s Village. The restaurant was definitely understaffed, but everyone who was working was attentive and friendly. They have a great team! The food was great as well.

   Made a reservation on Open Table for Christmas Day. They were very busy, and we were seated at our table for 2 approximately 45 minutes after our reservation time. While we waited to be seated, we had some great conversations with people at the bar. Bar service was good. Once seated, we were against the wall by a window where it was drafty and easily 20 degrees colder than anywhere else in the restaurant. A holiday specific menu was available, and there were 9 choices, When it was time to order, we were told that they were out of 3 of the choices. I settled for the ravioli which was good, but nothing special. My wife did enjoy the ham. When we were enjoying our dinner, we finally were able to move to a different table that was much more comfortable, but located on a very busy walkway in between rooms of the restaurant. As one who travels 50% for business, I see a lot of restaurants and the good and the bad and generally do not write negative reviews. I felt as if there is a lot of room for improvement regarding food availablity and taking care of drafty seating locations. We do intend on returning on a non-holiday day as we like to try historic places, but will not return on a holiday

   Awful Christmas dinner experience. About half the entrees were not available including all vegetable sides (6:00 reservation). Garden room was cold. Waiter was very nice and tried his best, but it was a tough situation. Food took a long time to come out and was very pricey. Would never go back.

   We had dinner at 5:30 on Christmas. Special menu was only offered and three items were already gone off the menu. The temperature in the garden area was 65 degrees and they did not even have tea when ordered. The server was good and what they did have left on the menu was done well.

   Sadly the Pineville Tavern is one we really enjoy going to BUT it was terrible on Christmas Day., Over booked and under staffed. They left us waiting at our table for 10 min then it took over 15minutes for our drinks to come and I had to signal the waiter 2 times for even that level of service. By 4:30 pm the kitchen was out off 2 main entrees. My husbands enter off prime rib was cooked nicely. but was ghee smallest one we had ever seen. My ravioli was Luke warm at best. it wasn't worth sending anything back we had already been there 2 hours. Several other tables were just as poorly managed and people left without paying or grumbling out loud. Seems like they did not anticipate ,being the only locval place open, that amount of food and or staff that were needed. They also accepted "walking" which was not a good idea! Aslo the valet service was overloaded and couldn't find cars.. we finally had to locate ours by walkjinbg the parking lot

   Nice place. We were there on Christmas for the 2nd time. Wasn't as good an experience. Granted it was a holiday and very busy, but we had reservations, but still had to wait 20 minutes for our table. Bartender had to wait on us for our meal. He was pleasant enough, but seemed like he was busy with the bar, so the whole process was very slow. having owned a restaurant, it seemed like either they were overbooked or understaffed. We would go back, but probably not on a holiday.

   We ate here on Christmas Day and the entire restaurant, tavern and porch were extremely busy. The Pineville Tavern was ready for the rush ! Service was very good and the food quality was excellent. Snapper soup was outstanding. Already spoke about going back next year if not sooner.

    The mashed potatoes were a bit too salty, but otherwise, the meal was excellent. Our server, Conor, took great care of our table. This is a great place for special occasions. I would also recommend the Pineville Tavern for a regular meal. By the way, the side dishes on the Christmas menu were mostly potatoes. This may have been the best way to handle holiday dinners. Best wishes to the staff and servers
