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.

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.

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.
