The place has a great atmosphere, you'll feel more like you're in an elegant dining room than a restaurant. The food is delicious. It is Italian, but it definitely has a unique quality about it you won't find at your typical Italian restaurant. The desert and wine selection is also very good.

Neighbor Restaurant and Bar

Located in Grandview, the newly remodeled Knotty Pine is a great place for food and drinks. There is a friendly atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating. The seating inside is very comfortable. All of the rooms have large flat screen TVs, so you can always catch a baseball or football game. However, the TVs are off the evenings when there is live music being played on the Baby Grand which graces the main entrance. The prices are reasonable, and the food selection ranges from Subs and Sandwichs to Steak and Seafood.
