Why go

The smart-casual dress code also sets expectations. The Dancing Pine is not ultra-formal, but dressing neatly fits the occasion. If the table wants something relaxed yet polished, the concept makes sense. It can suit a group that wants Korean BBQ energy without giving up the composed feel of a higher-end steakhouse meal.
