The place is comfortable and welcoming. Service was warm and attentive. Most of the dishes were good but we did need to ask for salt as the pork ribs because they really needed finishing salt. On the other hand, the radicchio salad was amazing!!! Definitely get this dish. We'd go again just on the strength of this salad. read more

Beautiful new restaurant in downtown McMinnville. We stopped by on a busy Friday night sat at the bar to try their fabulous craft cocktail menu. We didn't have dinner but we will be back! I had the Hold The Reins - Beefeater, allspice, cardamom, clove honey and lemon. This drink is light and well balanced with subtle hints of spice. This drink is not sweet and perfect for a person whom likes a low sugar drink. My husband had a Cale Entay ~ habanero infused tequila, lime grand marnier and cranberry. This drink is incredible spice and slightly sweet with a little bit of heat. Fun date night spot. read more

Service was incredible, very attentive and super nice. Wine was delicious, we were even served a little bubbly to celebrate our anniversary (so nice) but the beef carpaccio was insanely delicious and it a must order. read more

WOW on every level! I was visiting from Los Angeles, but if I lived in the area, it would be my regular go-to spot. Pinch is perfect for a romantic dinner all the way to a large dinner party or celebration with friends. Our party of 8 all left feeling we received great value for the price of our dinner. The restaurant has a great vibe to it - super comfortable but still chic atmosphere. I believe locals come back often and it had a very friendly feeling throughout the dining room. And I appreciated that all 8 of us could hear each other at the table so the design was well-planned - and no one was crammed/packed in! The wine list is comprehensive and well thought out - and has something for everyone. We ordered a great champagne and a white burgundy to round out the bottles we brought. They really worked with us crafting a multi-course meal knowing we'd be going through quite a few wines...from bubbles, to whites to reds. And they provided ample stemware. The service was impeccable. Danielle was a delight - so warm and friendly and perfectly professional. She was on top of everything! And we all really appreciated that the owner/chef Paul brought out many of the dishes himself and took the time to explain them. We got to visit with him later in the evening and we all enjoyed our bit of time with him. As for the food, he really has an amazing ability to combine flavors that are a creative and delicious surprise - and enhance all of the other ingredients in each dish. All of us kept commenting on the touch of a little something in a specific dish that really elevated it. And we loved the sharing concept - and there were ample servings of every course. I kept flip-flopping on what was my favorite dish - there were so many amazing surprises in terms of flavors. Starting with the chick pea "fries" - with just that dash of lemon - they were addictive. Among the other courses, the wagyu carpaccio was perfection, and the oysters were perfectly presented. Then the delicious radicchio salad (which is not just an ordinary salad), the tender and perfectly prepared steak, the pesto potatoes, and oh my - that cacio e pepe bucatini...I have craved it every day since I was there. It was the most perfectly textbook al dente prepared pasta and the flavors were outstanding - the best I've ever had. It is clear Paul is working with the very best ingredients. Pinch will be on my list to ALWAYS return when I am in the McMinnville area! read more

Nope. Just nope - customer service is key for me! On a recent, mid-week (Wednesday), late afternoon (before 5PM), I entered asking to see the menu - as at this writing - there were neither hours nor menu posted either on or near the doorway. The menu looked yummy and well within my budget -however ... - when I asked about seating, I was told I "... could sit at the window" (mind you, full sun, in your eyes isn't necessarily conducive to a positive dining experience!); - so I asked about other seating arrangements - "Is there another space or table - it is quite bright there?" (pointing to the afternoon sun glaring through the window) and was politely told "No. There's nothing else available"; for the record, one booth and two tables each had two people in them (6 people total); - I inquired further, giving the hostess an opportunity - asking directly, if there were "... any immediately pending reservations?" and was succinctly and directly told "No." So ... I left. I didn't even say "Thank you". Here's the deal - if an establishment turns away a customer, without pending reservations (understanding potential impact to future income to the establishment), then your customer service capability is in question. Oh - my attire? Just in case that would come into question - it was "business casual"; pressed khaki chinos, and red blouse - I was in McMinnville on business. I cannot, in good conscience, recommend or refer a poor service location, especially as a business woman. read more

Four people for Friday evening dinner with varied food desires--all were handled extremely well by our server Katelyn. Fresh oysters, salads, drinks, duck confit, pasta, octopus, steak -- all well prepared and served at the appropriate temperatures. The restaurant had lots of local art, alien rest rooms and a good atmosphere. Parking is the only negative and was a challenge as Pinch does not have their own parking. But the food and service are worth repeat visits! read more

Last minute dinner at Pinch. Ate at the bar. Bartender was excellent and spent time answering questions for us. The food was fantastic. I had the rigatoni with a duck sugo (ragu?). I'm still thinking about the wonderful flavors. Husband had the tuna and loved it. We split a salad; it was delicious as well. We will return!! read more

There were 4 of us and we were hungry, but didnt have a reservation. They said they could fit us in at 7:30. At 6:45 they called to say they could get us in eatly. Ive never had any restaurant do this. It was wonderful & only started the wonderful for our evening. The bartender got creative when we threw ideas at her... Tastey results. She plays well with others and came over to meet us. Our waitress never hesitated to go above & beyond. She steered the table to the fresh oysters for an appetizer (not my favorite) but everone else was raving over the oysters & thanking the waitress. The chef should be commended. The 4 of us all ordered something different so we could sample. While each of us was pleased with our choice, all of the dishes were deliciosly spiced & presented. The portions seemed small until you dug in. They were rich & filling. No one had room for more, but we all cleaned our plate. We sat in a comfortable booth. The space is beautifully appointed and not so loud we couldn't hear each other. The food - delicious! The service - magnificent! The ambiance - welcoming! read more
