    Custom Poke Bowl with Salmon
    Tim G.

    We had an exceptional lunch here. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and were helpful explaining the process of creating a bowl (or choosing one of their signature bowls from the menu. The ingredients were super fresh, beautiful, and delicious. There are some tables inside and outside, though not too many. Most folks seem to get to-go orders though, so even during the lunch rush there were some seats available. The restaurant was nice and clean both inside and out. We've had a lot of poke bowls in a lot of locations, and this definitely stood out as one of the best we've had. Definitely give them a try!

    Came here for lunch on a Tuesday. We got 2 custom poke bowls. We tried the firecracker and citrus ponzu sauces. Both were good. Nice variety of toppings though the miso pickles were too salty. Decent size portion. Prices have gone up. Outdoor seating only. Located in Blair Park at Kismet building with ample parking.

    My first time having a poké bowl and it was really good!! The firecracker bowl was delicious. Came with ahi tuna, sriracha aioli, scallions, cucumber, togorashi, sesame seeds, onion crisps, and I added on cabbage slaw, red onion, and seaweed strips... everything was on top of brown rice (you could also choose white rice, zoodles, etc). So good. Everything tasted very fresh. The land lovers bowl was great too with local chicken, pineapple teriyaki sauce, cucumber, gochujang mushrooms, pineapple, scallions, onion crisps, and added jalapeño peppers. Oh, also, both bowls were "regular" size and I thought they came with a substantial amount of food! I was very full after eating mine. The premium açaí bowl was so refreshingly delicious. I split it with my SO but honestly could have happily eaten one all to myself!! Açaí topped with banana, strawberries, blueberries, GF granola, drizzle of honey and added on almond butter. They also have some CBD infused beverages here. I would go here again if/when I'm in the area. Very fresh food and the place was super clean.

    I was so excited to hear Poké was coming to Williston. Poké is a Hawaiian dish that can have fresh raw fish, sometimes with marinated veggies, over sushi rice, pineapple, red cabbage. I love that many places today are branching out and using quinoa, veggie noodles, etc. as awesome rice substitutions for those looking to go more low carb. I ordered the Firecracker Bowl with 1/2 spicy salmon and 1/2 spicy tuna, zoodles (zucchini noodles) plus a ton of toppings. I also ordered the smoothie bowl. Both were freaking fantastic. I chose to eat the Smoothie Bowl the next day, so I froze it when I came home. The owner is really nice and staff are super friendly and helpful. They have a separate paying line for those who order online. I'll def be back.

    Seattle has a LOT of poke, so the bar was set high for this little place in Burlington. Overall, I was happy! They have lots of options to choose from and you can easily customize your bowl depending on your mood that day. We went around lunch on a weekday and it took longer than I would have liked to get the food, but the staff was so nice and I overall thought it was a good value for the amount of food we got. It's a wonderful place in summer because the majority of seating is outside. If you're going in cooler weather, I would plan I'm taking it to go as seating inside is limited. There's lots of parking nearby and it's a great, fresh addition to the same old chains that have been in the area forever.

    Crave Açaí bowl with no bananans

    These are by far the best açaí bowls I have had in New England. Great portion size, high quality toppings, and delicious. The staff is always so kind and seating outside is awesome during the summer. This is a need to go place.

    Firecracker ('ran thru the garden' with just about everything except fruit) YUM!

    Quick, easy, health conscious option with a bit of a zing to it. Recommend the zoodles.

    I have a pineapple and shrimp allergies(I can't consume either), will that make eating here difficult? Is the staff pretty accommodating as far as allergies go?

    Now I better understand the relatively low rating having had dinner one evening and brunch the next…read moreday at Pine over the holidays. Dinner Service was excellent and Loretta gets a shout out for her tableside manner. Manager on duty also gets a call out for accommodating my special request to slice and serve the ciabatta rolls we had just made earlier that day at King Arthur Flour. The ambiance was great, it's just sad that the food, every item we ordered whether a pasta or a short rib or a fish, were all just meh. and an expensive meh. Brunch I had higher hopes for brunch the next day given my excellent experience the last time we were in town. Should have stuck with what we ordered the last time (lobster eggs benedict, pancake, frittata, day in milan chicken sandwich). This time we ventured out and ordered the recommended duck hash which was just a bit of a mess, greasy, and not that tasty. The Day in Milan chicken sandwich was still amazing and amazingly messy to eat and the fries excellent - 5/5. But overall, most of the food we had a Pine this time was a miss.

    You can tell I've been here many times. Unless you think I ran around the restaurant taking…read morepictures of EVERYONE's food. It's my friend's favorite place. It's beautiful. Great atmosphere. Well marked for people with allergies. Great staff. Great drinks (even mocktails). Here's my problem. The menu changes and the food isn't consistently great. Some dishes are, some miss the mark. Over or under cooked. Plated in a challenging way. Something listed in the description of a dish is manipulated in a way that you think it's missing from the dish. Things like that. I think they don't test their dishes enough before putting them on the menu, or it may also depend on who's in the kitchen. So it's not my FIRST choice of places in the area. But, it still is one of the best places in the area.
