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 November 26, 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!
