   It was my first visit to Pinchy’s and I was originally lured by their Lobster rolls, which did not disappoint. The food overall was outstanding. The cocktails imaginative and delicious. The service was very warm and friendly. Thank you for an all around enjoyable dining experience.

   Fantastic seafood, lovely setting and great drinks. We went on a Tuesday and tacos were only $4.50- we ate so many! The tuna ones were so delicious. Lobster roll and kingfish ceviche also a stand out. Efficient service, not overly warm, but attentive.

   What an amazing experience. Staff were ALL impeccable. The food .. to die for! We had the Tasting Menu and every bite was an explosion of flavours. We ended the night with Madeleines (must do!) and coffee. My only complaint/issue would be the advertising of $80 per person (which did not include GST). So when I paid my bill it took me a while to calculate what we paid for. Happy to have paid the $88 however!

   Service was fantastic! The lovely lady looking after our booking actually took into consideration that I noted it was a birthday when making the reservation. She came over to our table, took a Polaroid picture, and wished us a happy birthday — such a thoughtful touch! The food was great — smaller portions than I’d hoped for, but the quality and presentation were spot on. The restaurant was quieter when we visited, but I can definitely see its potential to be more of a vibe when busier. Will definitely be back!

   Nice dining space and outside area. Staff mostly very good but one had an element of dismissiveness and arrogance. Not sure why, we were just trying to order food! Burger was (according to the diner) excellent. Lobster rolls were disappointing given that it is billed as a venue specialising in seafood: Toasted white bread with very little lobster and very much lettuce. Otherwise starter dishes were good.

   The food was delicious. We had 2 small plates and 1 entree and 1 main. Dessert was very good. I would recommend this restaurant.

   Beautiful weather on the outdoor balcony overlooking the happenings on the street below. Food a little pricey. But still a nice date night for hubby and me.

   Staff were excellent and attentive. Food was excellent and we tried almost everything on the menu. Reason for 4 stars was, I found the lobster linguine a bit boring after having the amazing taste of the snacks and entrees. Definitely worth a visit.

    Absolutely wonderful experience every time! The waitstaff are friendly, kind, approachable, and incredibly attentive. The food is sensational—flawless in every way. We especially love the small treats and entrées, with our favourites being the tuna tartare, tacos, kingfish, oysters, and grilled octopus. Having visited twice, we’ve been impressed by the consistency in flavours and exquisite presentation, which rival fine dining. We will definitely be back again!
