MPowers,

I am in agreement with you on how the employees as well as the original owners were told one thing but that changed into another. Have met up with several long time Pine Cone employees that left. She promised the owners she'd carry on their legacy and not change things too much, but it's evident that isn't the case now.

There were many Pine Cone customers that were there 3 times a day, early morning for the store, lunch time, and then happy hour or dinner. She lost all of those people.

Their pizza this summer started at 18.00 for a small plain and went to $33.00 for one with toppings.

The reviews for Birch show more than half are from reviewers who had under 3 reviews, always a suspicious number, especially for a new restaurant...

I'm hoping the man you mentioned who has bought up all of the surrounding property to Pine Cone (and across the street lakeside) very recently does NOT change this town into Winthrop, but time will tell. What a shame if that happens.
