    Always a delicious variety of breakfast and brunch choices, friendly and attentive staff and clean and comfortable environment. Our favorite weekend brunch buffet spot on the peninsula. The chocolate fountain was my daughter's favorite part of our visit. Rice krispie treats, marshmallows, strawberries, brownies, cookies.. everso scrumptious!! The omelette station never ceases to amaze the taste buds with all the essential ingredients and toppings necessary for a mouthwatering omelette. There's definitely dishes I would have loved to have enjoyed, but I had to save room for the hot, crispy and fluffy waffles with whipped nutella, fresh strawberries, blueberries, banana slices, topped with whipped cream, drizzled with rich syrup. We enjoyed every moment and every bite of our brunch buffet experience. We would have appreciated the bacon, sausages, scrambled eggs and potatoes a bit more if they were a few more degrees hotter. They seemed just below room temp, by the time we got back to our table and took our first bites. Some items, such as the roasted chicken and prime rib required a bit more seasoning for our taste. A few dashes of pepper and salt at our table made these servings almost perfect. Thanks to our server Alyssa, our glasses were never empty, every sip of our coffee was always hot, and our table was never cluttered with used plates. We sincerely appreciate the Pinstripe staff for consistently making our brunch experiences amazing!! Can't wait to come for another visit for a plateful of seconds, thirds, fourths, etc. etc. 😋

    I am in a wheelchair and the elevator was broken. The nice receptionist showed me the outside elevator in the mall and she assured me that it wouldn’t be shut off until late. I left Pinstripws at 9:30 and it was turned off. Mall security didn’t answer their phone. Finally a security guard walked up… after I had Venn sitting in the cold for 1/2 hour… and he said that they didn’t have the key. The Engineer is the only one with a key and he locked up at 9:00 and went home!

    Extremely chaotic service. Our waiter was very nice, no issues with him personally, but hardly came by to check and do refills. Took forever to get drinks. Appetizer took awhile to come too. When we asked for something it also took very long to get it. Restaurant is just so loud. Not sure if it’s just acoustics? Totally understand it was a busy Friday and a small concert going on outside but the service just always feels chaotic and unorganized.
