			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I went with some friends to the Pine Tavern to see the remodel.  I had a great time.  We sat by the window with a view of mirror pond and saw a cute little rabbit in the flowers.  It was the first time I had been to the restroom at the Pine Tavern but the faucet in there is pretty unique.   Getting back to the food and drinks.  My food was excellent. I ordered one of the specials.  It was the first time having Steelhead fish.    My friend had the chicken with capers.  It was good but maybe per her suggestion should be served on a plate and not a bowl.  It was very tricky cutting the chicken in a bowl. <img src='http://whybend.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
Here are some pictures of our time at the Pine Tavern.<br />
