South+Pine American Eatery

Food was amazing, super fresh, and well crafted with a lot of attention before it gets served. The sous chef Amanda personally helped with recommendations and we were able to sit by the kitchen where we got to watch first hand the care that goes into every dish. Highly recommend the Polenta fries!

If I could give over a 5 review for each category I would! First time here and was blown away by the service and had the pleasure of sitting right behind the kitchen and observing the owner and head chef running the place like a true BOSS! I heard her say at one point, “This dish isn’t pretty enough. Make it pretty.” She gave it back to the cook. She wiped every open area of the plates of prepared dishes that came out, making sure they were pretty. Top notch! The food was just as good.

We recently celebrated birthdays / Mother's Day with a great meal at South+Pine American Eatery. I highly recommend this BYOB restaurant as the a Chef / Owner, Leia Gaccione, is super talented. She knows how to make creative dishes that have bold and delicious flavors using ingredients that are sourced locally. The outdoor terrace was also a pleasant experience.

This is one of the best restaurants in the region. Their menu is seasonal, which keeps things unique and interesting. Their staff are warm and knowledgeable. Not to be missed!

Really enjoyed our meal at South & Pine tonight. I love that they use local farms and purveyors and it’s really reflected in the freshness and taste of the food. Appetizers were stuffed squash blossoms with pesto and PEI mussels in a shandy broth with saffron butter. Mains were the crispy fluke with a delicious slaw and the tilefish with orzo and braised fennel with orzo in a saffron broth. Outdoor patio is awesome on a beautiful night.

Came with a friend who recommended it. Overall, I was underwhelmed with the food for the price. $42 for a steak with deep fried potatoes is a bit ridiculous. No acidity in the salsa verde and just bathed in oil. You could get a nice salad with a side of the same steak for less. Chicken lollipops had good flavor but they were gamy. My husband got the salad with steak but it came out with salmon. I don’t believe in waste either but instead of making a new salad they just removed the salmon and brought out the steak later so the salad tasted like the salmon that sat on top of it. I appreciate them taking half off the steak addition, but again the food just didn’t match the price. Not the place for me but best of luck!

Food was very tasty due to some very unique flavors and menu options making for a new, fresh experience. Sourcing local ingredients makes you feel like you're supporting the local community directly. Overall vibe and atmosphere was laid back and relaxed. Seating was rather crammed though during dinner time. Service was pretty sparse once we ordered though and the food took a long time to arrive. Portions were rather small for the price. It was about $50-70/person to feel satisfied and while we enjoyed our dinner overall, most likely wouldn't return.

Jordan, our server had amazing energy and was full of life. She did an fantastic job navigating us through the menu and curated a beautiful dinner experience.
