Tiny Pine Bistro

I rarely review places, but this deserves an enthusiastic 5 star review. Best meal I’ve had in months!

Incredible food— seriously the best meal I’ve had this year. Cozy, lovely, cool ambiance. Service is legit — they know what they’re doing there. Highly recommend! Get the pasta and the chili… and don’t forget the desserts.

As usual, phenomenal service at the bar and the tables. Host/owner readily available to check in on diners’ experiences and even remembered us from last time. Food was great as were the drinks. Tempura Shrimp starter with pears was a combination I didn’t know I needed. Crispy chicken sandwich did not disappoint either.

A cozy atmosphere with an incredible staff. The entire energy felt like that homemade meal (that you can't quite pull off yourself) with a family (that you actually like). Tiny Pine Bistro is an absolute gem in the mountains. Must visit.

Nice drinks. Cute ambiance. Food quite good.

My favorite kind of high-end dining features sophisticated comfort food, where stalwart staples are executed with precision and flair. So yes I may be any easy mark for Tiny Pine Bistro, but those dauphinoise style taters can speak for themselves just fine. The environment is cozy and relaxed, the service effortless, genuine, and attentive. Here a classic fried chicken entree sits comfortably next to a more refined tagliatelle pasta dish. Their secret weapon being that there is nothing actually classic about anything on the menu. Familiar favorites are injected with innovative ingredient combinations to mouth-watering effect. The appetizer game here is on another level, and these are without doubt the best craft cocktails you will find in town. Downtown Carbondale's dining scene is a self-sustaining ecosystem; where the old guard of main street's restaurants stand watch, holding off any attempts to invade their domain with anything less than exemplary. Good restaurants come and go here with shocking regularity, partly because being good simply isn't good enough. In such a small town with so much quality food to choose from, you just have to have that special extra "something" to endure. Thankfully, I truly do believe Tiny Pine Bistro has that extra something, and I'm not just selfishly saying that because I want more of those potatoes.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. Not only are the food and drinks amazing but everyone working there makes you feel so special and appreciated. The attention to detail and guest service is like no other. It’s such a fun, cozy and intimate setting. The portions are large and so is the love, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Best burger ever and best fries
