We haven’t been to Pinch in a year and a half. The menu has changed as they don’t offer the gourmet entrees they used to have. They are now catering more to the neighborhood. I understand but maybe as a special they can bring back a dish or two. Either way, they always serve great tasting food and good portions.

I cannot overemphasize how excellent the wine dinner experience was for me and my family. We were 5 seated at our table. There were about 6 tables of similar size. The 5 course meal was outstanding. The wine pairings were memorable. It was especially exciting to have the winemaker present to explain the wines. I highly recommend others to take advantage of any similar arrangements. My family has dined at this restaurant multiple times, without benefit of the wine dinner. It has never disappointed us. We always prefer to dine on the enclosed terrace. The food is always excellent.
