Great lunch at Pinchy’s. We had the tasting plate which had 2 starters, and 2 mains (each). Excellent way to try out lots of things on the menu. The lobster roll and the prawn latsu were absolute standouts but everything was so tasty. Some reviews I read said it wasn’t good value and people left hungry after ordering this but I tend to disagree. I thought it was a good amount and didn’t leave feeling too well. Will definitely recommend for the spot and the eats!

One of the best restaurants in Melbourne by far. The best Oysters I’ve ever had. Everything was perfect. This is our new favorite spot.

The service was disappointingly slow, especially considering the restaurant was only half full. The noise level was surprisingly high for such a quiet night. As for the food, the Wagyu burger was enjoyable, but other dishes fell short. The scalloped potatoes were delicious but tiny and overpriced. The octopus was beautifully presented but disappointingly small for the cost. I also tried their signature lobster roll, which was the size of a dinner roll, underwhelming, and far too expensive. Overall, while some flavors impressed, the experience was let down by portion sizes, pricing, and the overall atmosphere.

Our outdoor table provided a quieter ambience compared to indoors. The food was good, however we thought that the signature Lobster Roll should have been an entrée, not a main. Out of the 4 Lobster Rolls that we ordered, two were particularly lacking in lobster meat. Whilst the wine list was very good, wines were very pricey. Overall, we thought that Pinchy's was fair value for money. The decor needs a bit of refreshing - in particular the outdoor seats were in poor condition. Some staff seemed inexperienced, but were pleasant and friendly.

Waitress should be in standup comedy. I loved it , our client (and the rest of us) were giggling and laughing everytime she came to the table. Well done. Also, the food was 10/10 so fresh and light. Will be taking my clients here again.
