The Pine Club - Dayton Ohio

Not seeing a thread dedicated to Dayton or The Pine Club, I thought it OK to post this. I dined at the Pine Club as the guest of a local couple last night and was delighted with the atmosphere of the place, the top-notch and no-nonsense service and the delicious food.

The Pine Club is best equated - in my mind at least - with the best of the Wisconsin supper clubs sans the northwoods. The space is not large but ample, the bar a double-sided horshoe affair and the small cloakroom and rest facilities hearken me back to the boites of my youth where the Davooda parental units would take us once per annum for an "adult meal."

The Pine Room gets its name from the pine walls, ceiling, woodwork and seating. The fare is varied but heavy on reall good steaks, prime rib, and ground-on-the-premises hamburgers. On Mondays and Tuesdays, one may buy five pounds of excess to inventory burger patties for $4 per pound - prime steaks ground for your enjoyment.

Blue-Red salad dressing a piquant flavor...house-made French with blue cheese chunks with mixed greens...bread basket with plentiful "salt sticks" from days gone by - a real throwback with high quality eats.

I don't think you would be disappointed if you gave The Pine Club a try.

As a graduate of the University of Dayton, I'll throw in a caveat - do not even think about trying to get in here on Homecoming weekend, alumni weekends, parents weekends, etc.... As a student, if mom/dad is picking up the tab, this is where you're going and you're having a steak. It's popular with both locals and the UD crowd, deservedly so. Glad to hear it's still going strong and that you enjoyed it! -Lynn

I was at the University of Dayton for five years and never managed to get there. I tried two years ago ... no line ... but unfortunately a big lunch interfered.
