We stayed at the Hanover Inn and had a convenient lunch downstairs in the PINE restaurant. The Poached Pear salad (red looking) with the two fried chevre cheese balls, mixed greens, almonds, raspberries, prosciutto was fresh, big, and enough for a good lunch. My husband got the quinoa salad with black beans, edamame, corn, and it was huge and kept him filled until dinner. I liked the decor of the restaurant with the huge wooden beams in the ceiling.

Food was good and the service was even better. Hard to say if this is the case all time, as our party ate a late lunch so there were very few customers. Everything was prepared quickly (even though there were 11 at our table). The menu has good variety and everything is tasty. I would recommend the truffle fries, they do not disappoint.

Title: Festive Breakfast at Pine Restaurant☕️🥯 Review: During our quick tour of Dartmouth College, we found ourselves at Pine Restaurant, conveniently located right in front of the university's main park. Visiting on Christmas Day at 7 in the morning, it was a relief to find it open when most places were closed. The atmosphere inside was absolutely amazing, adorned with festive decorations that added to our holiday experience. However, it's worth noting that the food prices are on the higher side. I ordered toast with cheesecake and a latte, which was so generous in portion that I couldn't finish it and had to take the rest with me. My daughter opted for the Dartmouth breakfast, and my husband enjoyed pancakes with regular coffee. Each dish was well-prepared and delicious, making our Christmas morning breakfast a memorable one. Pine Restaurant is a great spot for a special breakfast, especially if you're visiting the college.

Perfect place for fine-dining in the Upper Valley! Loved the atmosphere, decor, and the service! Food-wise, Lobster Benedict and Crab cakes were my top favorites! Other items that I liked was the Day-in-Milan sandwich and the Faroe Island Salmon. Price would be ~ $30/head for lunch (w/o alcohol).

Had a lovely lunch here before flying back to New York via Lebanon. I had the lobster BLT and it was a well-balanced dish with generous lobster portions. The fries were also crispy. Dessert was also really yummy and my friend enjoyed her bday treat! Franky was very polite and accommodating. Christina was lovely as front of the house.

Service started out good then got real slow. Crab cake was excellent. Halibut was good. Scallops were unacceptable for the price. 3 tiny scallops for $45, outrageous. Steak was very good.

Stopped here bc I couldn’t find the restaurant I was looking for (poor gps directions) and I was pressed for time. I walked past and it was not busy early on a Friday evening (bad sign). Turned out it is part of a hotel which I didn’t realize. However I didn’t have much choice due to time constraints (show at opera house) so I decided to get dinner. I sat at the bar (solo) - the interior is beautiful. Opened the menu and stared at the prices. Yeah Dartmouth is here and the town needs a spot for the richer parents but really. Typical price for a glass of basic wine -18$. Anyway I ordered the bolognese with pappardelle. Came out in less than ten minutes (everything evidently premade including the pasta). Decent presentation- fairly small if one has an appetite but I wasn’t terribly hungry so it was fine. Lukewarm at best, pretty flavorless. 36$. I ate it anyway as I wasn’t in the mood to make a fuss for decent food. I just won’t come here again. I’ll explore the area for better places and make more time.

A good place for a comfortable lunch but the menu, which rarely changes, is rather limited and, for vegetarians at least, nothing stands out. Service is always good even though the new management (Dartmouth no longer runs it) fired our longtime favorites several months ago. We go primarily because it is convenient and comfortable.

Our large group had a great time at Pine. The shared appetizers were delicious and disappeared quickly, and the main courses were also good, although I would have expected better for the price. On the downside, our drinks took a long time to arrive, and the acoustics made it difficult to have a conversation at times. However, the positive aspects of our experience outweighed the negatives, and we would recommend Pine to others, especially those who are looking for a fun and lively atmosphere.

We really wanted to like this place. The food was absolutely excellent. That aside, the loss of stars occurred from certain expectations: for a table of four where three people ordered the same entree, remembering who got what should be easy. Drink delivery times were very slow and we had to grab some of our silverware from another table. The waitress didn’t know the menu and even with making a reservation, instead of simply being nicely told that the table wasn’t yet ready and shown somewhere like the bar, we were told that the hostess couldn’t possibly predict when guests will leave their table and to just go wait in the lobby. Obvious about wait times but the absolute worst way to approach such a situation. Also, when you make a reservation and are up front that you have vegetarian guests, you should be told how the menu of a very few select items can or cannot be made to fit your needs. Again, food was good but the experience was made fun by our friends, not the restaurant. Two stars only for the food quality.

Service took forever, cocktails at minute 45. Felt forgotten most of night. Spent way too long for a burnt burger (ordered medium) that was absurdly overpriced. Will definitely be advising my friends to eat somewhere else if they want to feel seen and get served edible food. Spent nearly 3 hours for subpar service, poor food, and mediocre ambiance for a high price.

Desserts were yummy and food presentation was great. Aside from that, I don't really have any other positive review. My wife and I came here for our anniversary. We made reservations online and got seated promptly. It will be about 10 minutes before our server gets to us though. A manager poured us some water while we waited. Now, here's the fun part. The pork loin appetizer was very tough. This is the first time we went to a "fine dining" that sold very tough pork. It was a chore to just eat the small dish. The ossetra caviar, such an expensive ingredient barely shined and drowned in the grease of the potato mille feiulle. The ribeye at $57, ordered medium-rare, was incredibly stringy. What does that tell us? That the cut is cheap and very poor and the restaurant is ripping off its customers. Paella was underwhelming. I get the "modern" twist on it but it was honestly bland. It seemed like the rice was only cooked with saffron water and nothing else. The seafood wasn't cooked with the rice so there was no other flavor unlike a regular paella. Dessert was the best part of the evening. We were very hesitant about it because of how underwhelming everything is but we decided to complete the night. Please hire a better chef! One with pride in his work!

The restaurant is beautiful, the bartender who took my order was very friendly, but the fish tacos were horrible. The batter on the fish was heavy and greasy and the vegetables were overcooked and oily.
