Went for brunch on Sunday and had a great experience. Food was delicious and $25 unlimited mimosas were great too. The owner’s father came to our table to personally thank us and tell us more about their story. Incredible customer service. Will 100% be going back to try the rest of the menu!

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.
Pinch KitchenResponded on 26 November 2024
Thank you for your thoughtful review, Elizabeth! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the food at Pinch Kitchen + Bar. We appreciate your feedback regarding the menu changes and will certainly share your suggestion about bringing back some gourmet entrees with our team. Your support means a lot to us, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon for another great dining experience!

I'm just so grateful that Pinch exists. The food is always on point. They have excellent cocktails. The vibe is cozy and intimate. And it's less than 10 minutes from my house. The fact that they have a "Last Word" on the cocktail menu sets them apart from so many other places that just don't carry Green Chartreuse. The brussels sprouts were delicious. The spinach dip was delicious. The porkbelly was delicious and I don't even love porkbelly. The banana bread pudding was also delicious. I wasn't hungry anymore but wanted to eat literally everything on the menu.
Pinch KitchenResponded on 19 August 2024
Hi Rachel, thank you so much for your glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that you love Pinch Kitchen + Bar and appreciate our cozy vibe, delicious food, and excellent cocktails.

We can't wait to welcome you back for more culinary delights! See you soon!
