When you are tired of turkey......

And looking for a change in menu here’s a great place to try. Pinecrest Bistro located at 12313 S. Dixie Highway in Pinecrest. At this time they are only open for dinner.

Chef Bente Lamchick (her brother was a former owner of Flemings) and husband Randy are co-owners.

Although they have been open for 3 years I had dinner there earlier this week for the first time. What a delightful surprise.

For starters they brought out warm fresh pita bread with homemade humus. I think it’s the best pita I’ve ever had. My choice of one of the specials turned out to be an excellent one - grilled salmon on a bed of fresh sautéed spinach with a wonderful, flavorful sauce. It was accompanied by brown rice and a crispy salad.

The setting is small and intimate. Scott, one of the servers, made the visit special and we found he was very knowledgeable about the wines.

Chef Bente is happy to try to accommodate any special dietary wants or needs.

If you give them a try, I don't think you will be disappointed.
