    Burger was great! Carne asada tacos were pretty dry. The drinks we ordered were also pretty weak. No over pouring going on. I ordered a gin and soda and could not tell if there was gin in it. Probably because there was very little ice so the soda was over portioned. Service was slow and it was pretty noisy in the place.
    Pinch KitchenResponded on October 7, 2026
    Hi Adam, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are thrilled to hear that you loved the burger! At the same time, we truly appreciate you letting us know about your experience with the carne asada tacos, drinks, and service. We are passing your comments directly along to our kitchen and bar teams to ensure our recipes and pouring standards are being strictly followed. We also want our atmosphere to be welcoming and comfortable, so we will look into the noise and service speed. We value your support and hope you will give us another chance soon. We would love to welcome you back and provide you with a five-star experience from start to finish! Cheers, The Pinch Team

    We made a last minute reservation here for our son’s 17th birthday on Saturday. They were very accommodating. We ordered the Guava French Toast & they added a candle and the entire restaurant sang him Happy Birthday, which was sweet. I had the brunch burger, which always good. My husband had the steak & eggs. The steak was so flavorful. Our son had the Eggs Benedict, which he said was good but it was a small portion for the price. We ordered the guava French toast for the table which is always so good. Pinch is one of my favorite restaurants and we always enjoy our visit.

    We had a fabulous birthday celebration at Pinch Kitchen yesterday. The place is cosy and welcoming. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Food is delicious with interesting options on both the Happy Hour menu as well as in the regular menu such as Ham Croquetas, BBQ Porkbelly Bites, Beet Salad and yummy Gambas al ajillo. Drinks were also excellent. One friend really enjoyed her Caipirinha. We sat and enjoyed the vibe of the place while we ate, chatted, and had a lovely time.

    My wife had the chicken wings with fries and I had the flat iron steak with spicy brussels sprouts. My wife just loves the special dressing that comes with the wings and the flat iron steak with the spicy brussels sprouts is quite a good deal. The brussels sprouts are some of my favorite that I’ve had throughout town.

    We reserved our table but found that only one table was actually reserved with a sign. The tables were filled as people walked in so reserving gives you a table but whatever table is left. We sat toward the back although my preference was in the front. Perhaps I should have called in rather than reserve online. The restaurant was full and service was slow. I go for the food which is good. I don’t expect service to be at the level of a “Michelin” star restaurant.
    Pinch KitchenResponded on July 7, 2026
    Hi Judy, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the food, but we clearly missed the mark on your seating preference and the speed of service during your recent visit. We strive to ensure every reservation is handled with care, and we appreciate your note regarding the online booking experience—it’s helpful feedback as we look to improve our processes. We would love the chance to provide you with a much smoother experience on your next visit. Please feel free to reach out to us directly when you plan to come back so we can ensure you have a table that better fits your preference. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Cheers, The Pinch Team.
