I had fun here and plan to return. I had never played Baci and played a few games. Staff was helpful and nice. Drinks were good as was the food. My only suggestion is to consider not allowing young children on the Baci courts after 6 pm. The number of little kids running around almost made us feel like we were at a day care. One other suggestion-nix the r&b and country music. This music is fine for the burbs-this is downtown Chicago---Pop/rock music would be preferred! read more

We had a private event for 15 members of our leadership team over here and the service in the private room was quite good, the room was quiet for conversation and we then played bocce ball outside. The manager took personal care and checked in a couple of times and they were flexible with a change in our plans last minute too. They had gluten free vegetarian flatbread btw! Great venue to host events! read more

Never did I think I would see good food, reasonable prices and bocce in one place.

Even though it's pricey and fancy, I did not like the food at all. I only ate there so I didn't get the full experience of Pinstripes but the food was not to my liking. The appetizers (spinach artichoke dip and mozzarella balls) weren't very appetizing and the caesar dressing on the salad didn't taste right either. The food gave me a headache after too. While there was a nice atmosphere and the service was great, the food didn't meet expectations. read more

Great new spot in Streeterville. The happy hour is fantastic (half off most apps and discounts on drinks until 6:30pm M-F). The outdoor fire pits are cozy and relaxing. The dinner menu is slightly more expensive than I would expect, but happy hour is a great option. read more

I've stopped in here with friends a few times for happy hour (Monday- Friday 3-6:30pm). Great place to grab a couple drinks and appetizers - the spinach & artichoke dip tastes amazing. The bartenders are always friendly and the atmosphere is great to kick back for a couple drinks. read more

Came here with family to bowl yet we ended up playing bocce ball it was so much fun. First time here... we ordered a couple of beers and some appetizers. Our server was attentive he recommended the calamari as well as the mozzarella cheese balls. Everything was done quickly and delicious. I loved the fact that our server taught us how to play. Oh and I checked in and was able to get a gelato for my niece. It was good white chocolate peppermint with a waffle cone. I hope they had this in LA I would recommend it to the fullest. read more

Really, really like this place. Pleasant, good food, good prices. Bryce is my favorite bartender--pleasant, kind and always remembers my name and what I like to drink. The hallmark of a good bartender. read more

Food was really good, didn't have a bad dish. Overall a very fun restaurant. The atmosphere was great. Would definitely return if I lived in the area, but probably wouldn't make a special trip given the plethora of better spots in chicago. read more

Worked w/ Bianca in catering for a 25 person gathering & it could not have gone better~ Delivery was on time, everything was exactly as ordered and the food was darned good. We highly recommend! Thanks Bianca~ read more

The food was okay. It was edible and a little tasty but service was ridiculous. I said no cheese and got extra cheese. Lactose intolerance is not fun. I ordered a burger with only avocado and the avocado was not included. They also forgot my fried so by the time that came everything was cold. No apology or attempt to rectify. Soooo I wouldn't go back but if the service was better maybe I would have. read more

The service was terrible. Very disappointed. Jumbo pretzel was inedible. The lack of service and quality of food was not covid related. I worked in restaurants and am always gracious and understanding but the lack of attention here was shocking. I actually never figured out who was serving us. We would have ordered more but could not get anyone's attention or help. It's such a good location and I wanted to it to be good enough to go back but I never will!! read more

Went to Pinstripes with a group of 9 to celebrate a birthday on Saturday night. We had a dinner reservation at 5:30, but the restaurant was pretty empty at that hour. The first floor of Pinstripes is really nice, with a receptionist desk in front, a large bar/lounge area and then the general seating area. There's outdoor space as well overlooking the river. Food overall was good. I had the spicy chicken sandwich and enjoyed it. The Italian jambalaya looked really good as did the chicken parm. The lasagna was a rather small portion. My primary complaint is everything was pretty expensive. The food was good but let's not pretend Pinstripes is a Piccolo Sogno or Siena Tavern... We ended up paying for 2 hours of bocci ball downstairs. The courts are great and a server came around regularly taking our drink orders. Again my complaint is cost. Saturday night bocci was $10/hour/person. I realize we had a ton of people for one court/game but $90/hour for bocci for the group? Feels like a rip off. This is a really neat place, and I had a great time, it's just really expensive to fully take advantage of everything they had. Definitely a once and a great while type of place for me. read more

Fancy bowling! Although I didn't actually try any, the food looked absolutely fantastic. Our service was great, the bowling ally was clean with a fresh, modern, upscale feel. We went during the day when games are cheaper than at night. This place would make a fun date night! read more

Made reservation online to eat at the restaurant and then called to reserve a bowling a lane. All of this went smooth and and you can always change your time if necessary. The lady at the front desk asked if we wanted to eat indoors or at the patio. We asked for Patio. It was really nice outdoors, surprisingly no flies got near our table. Service was really good. Food was decent and on the pricier side. The bowling lanes have a clean modern look to them and comfy couches. You can order food while you're bowling as well as drinks. The service at the bowling lanes was good, too. Overall, I recommend for family and friends to go out and have a good time (: read more

great food. had the salmon and loved it. also have eaten many salads there and enjoyed all of them as well

Hmmmm...bocce ball, food and booze. Great combination! However, not so much. We came here for my wife's work holiday party. They had a special going that evening, however when I received the check it was regular prices. Little did we know, parties are exempt for the specials. UGH! Furthermore, we only got one round of food. People that paid and came later were SOL. I felt so bad. The food was decent. But then drinks...o my. If I have ever had more watered down drinks in my life. OOOOOOOOOO my! Restaurant looked nice. So, so. Indoor bocce ball is cool though. read more

Great food and good service (eventually). After bringing us some bread, our waiter never appeared again (I'm not sure the person who brought our bread was actually a waiter, as he never introduced himself). We waited a good 15 minutes before a waitress from another section came to check on us since we didn't even have any waters yet. She ended up comping a lobster bisque for each of us and it was delicious. My friend ordered the boneless short ribs and I ordered the shrimp, spinach, and tomato flatbread. Both were very delicious, especially the short ribs. Environment was causal and a little noisy but it wasn't bothersome. read more

The place is fun, has a great interior and nice lanes for reservations. The server was a little slow...ok, a lot slow...and he made a lot of mistakes but I'm willing to give it another try. read more

We only ate here but the bowling and bochee ball look like a very good time. I had the shrimp flatbread and felt is was very well done. We had some beer and the list was pretty decent, they had a grande beers (750 ml bottel) which was nice and not every place carries these. Overall it was a very nice time with good food but nothing I would go out of my way for unless you really want to bowl or play bochee ball after you eat dinner. read more

We went in with a huge party and our waiter was extremely attentive and organized! Our food was delicious and it came out pretty fast for a group of our size. Our waiter even split up our checks individually! I went back a couple days later with just a couple friends and we were pleasantly surprised by Pinstripes' brunch buffet. It was reasonably priced, included a mimosa, and the spread was wonderful! read more

Food was ok. I did enjoy bowling with no body around, that you cannot replace. I didn't realize how distracting people are until you are bowling next to a wall. Privacy was awesome. I was not a fan of how clean the bathrooms were, they could do a little better with that. Overall it was a pretty good experience but not as great as I expected. read more

Excellent food and service from our waiter Jacob! Lovely atmosphere and great place to grab a bite to eat before boarding the Chicago Cruise Line Tours. read more

I normally do not write reviews, but this place is so phenomenal that I just felt compelled to doing one. I came here for my birthday, I actually had another reservation for the night but after walking in just out of curiosity, I was greeted right away by a friendly staff from hostesses to the manager that night Anthony who was beyond courteous and welcoming. Mentioning that it was my first time there, Anthony showed me around a little bit and told me about their wood fire burning oven and how they make their own pastas in house from scratch along with other food. The atmosphere was so nice, and the food looked so good, I ended canceling my previous reservation and making one for that night instead. Our server Amber was also phenomenal she was very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious, for an appetizer I had a Margarita pizza which was one of, if not the best pizzas I've had in Chicago. You could taste all the ingredients were top quality from the dough and San Marzano tomatoes to the cheese which I'm pretty sure was Buffalo "ball" Mozzarella. I also had Fettuccine Bolognese which was also delicious. The drinks were also great, I recommend the Old Fashion. Overall, this place is incredible, great food and atmosphere with a fantastic service. I will definitely make it my go to spot in the area. Can't wait to try the bowling and bocce with a group of friends. read more

See all

Hosted an event here for work with 35-45 people, and they were very accommodating. They let us design our own signature cocktails and served them at the bar in the private room. Bowing isn't my thing, but if you are even casually interested in it, this is a good spot to hit. The food is okay - nothing extravagant but sort of what you'd expect from a place like this. Overall, earns the 4 stars because of the concept, location, and event accommodations read more

BBQ Ribs were good. I love their bread. The pasta (sorry to forget its name) was terrible--it was so firm that I suspected if the pasta was cooked over 5 minutes. Service is okay. read more

This review is for the restaurant, specifically their Sunday brunch. O.M.G. I went there with a friend this past Sunday and I couldn't have been happier with my decision. Bottomless mimosas-Check. Nutella waffles-check. Creamy and rich chocolate fountain-check. Delicious desserts-check. Excellent food-check, check check. They have a wide variety to choose from, like chicken tenders, pizzas, Mac and cheese, salads, a couple of entrees, smoked salmon, filet mignon, Turkey , endless shrimp, and salmon, bruschettas and an omlette station. They also have a mini waffle station that has the aforementioned nutella waffle along with a couple of others. Unfortunately, my mind stops thinking and seeing anything once I see the word nutella so I've clearly forgotten the others they had to offer. The fondue or dessert station had brownies, cookies, a decadent chocolate cake (which I suspect was flourless). The fondue came with marshmallows, rice crispie treats on a stick, strawberries to name a few. The food was excellent, the bottom to those mimosas was found but I do not regret my decision to come here. I'm actually planning my next visit already, so yeah :) read more

Came here for dinner and drinks - the night started off well and just got worse from there. Started off with the bruschetta and it was very good - lots of flavor and soft bread. Not the awkward hard to eat bruschetta. After that I had the chicken and goat cheese pasta. It was good - not great - but it exceeded my expectations. From there we went over to the bowling ally. I'll put aside the fact that I thought our lane was rigged... The service, the music, and the drinks were so subpar. I won't say they were the worst because I guess they could have been worse... But I will say their cocktails tasted like something I concocted in high school, aka throwing fruity shit together and forgetting the alcohol. All jokes aside I was disappointed because the atmosphere is great there and it has the potential to be so much better. Better music and some investment in better cocktails would be a great start... Oh also service within half an hour of ordering a drink would be cool too. read more

Really cool concept. Expansive layout with bowling and bocce that you can reserve and play while you eat. The food here is solid but unoriginal but that is to be expected. We got the calamari and spinach/artichoke dip for starters. Spaghetti and meatballs was meh as the meatballs were dry. Italian beef pizza was surprisingly good for how it looked. Striped bass entree was decent. Sadly we didn't get here in time to grab a lane but based on my experience this is a fun environment for hanging with friends and family over food and games! read more

Great restaurant with excellent food and service any time day or night. Glad they remained open during COVID and hope to see them thrive in the future. read more

Great place but overpriced! Staff was super friendly. The decor and place is cute! We didn't eat.. just drank at the bar and watched tv :)

I went to Pinstripes for a birthday dinner and was absolutely impressed by the menu. I kept it simple with a soup and a sandwich, but both food service and food was quick and delicious. The beer recommended to pair with my sandwich was spot on and the décor inside was so warm and cute with light brown wood interior and lounge seating. Looks like I'll pop by here next time I'm in Chicago for a brunch with the ladies! read more

Stopped in for a quick drink on our way to the Navy Pier. I ordered a mojito which was very good. We asked for the bill and before I was able to finish he took it away. Not a good thing to do especially before I leave my tip. Bad service great drink read more

I've been here twice in the past month or so and both times it was absolutely wonderful. The first time we were there I threw a party for my co-worker. The food was really good, but beyond that the service was just amazing. Every little thing we needed the entire staff was so attentive. This weekend we went back for the brunch buffet. The food was soooo good and for $28 and free mimosas, what a deal!! They had an omelette station, waffle station, carving station, plus a huge variety of breakfast & lunch items including peel & eat shrimp. And the chocolate fountain...oh my!!! The cheesecake was phenomenal and I don't even like cheesecake. I will definitely be back very soon!!! read more

Love the food and cocktails here. But the service is often a little "off". Chicken corn chowder (Mondays) and chopped salad are go-tos Great flatbreads, particularly the prosciutto and fig (pizzas are also yummy) Baby back ribs were surprisingly awesome Apps like the spinach artichoke dip and hummus platter are great for happy hour Skip dessert, just not as on point as the rest of the menu As for the service, there seems to be a lot of confusion over who owns what sections. We've sat in the bar section on the left of the entry and never been served. Every time we sit in the dining room, we've waited a very long time for our drink order to be taken and then are waited on by multiple people, which seems to reflect a sense of non-ownership of the table. (And I'm really not very picky about service.) It's certainly not enough to make us decide not to go back, but it's always a bit puzzling that they don't have this figured out. However, the food, atmosphere and daily specials keep us coming back weekly to this neighborhood haunt. read more

We made a reservation for the patio over the phone. When we came here the face is attitude and said that it's first come first serve and that it's half an hour wait to add two tables together. The only reason we chose this place was for the patio, and when we made the reservation they said that it's not a problem. read more

Went to Pinstripes for Sunday Brunch with my fiancé and we were really impressed! From the omelets, waffles (the toppings they offered for the waffles were both delicious and plentiful btw) to the fresh fruit...can't forget the bacon... Oh and mimosas...everything was tasty! We sat on the patio on a warm day and really enjoyed that as well. The ambience was nice and it was so peaceful. We kinda expected a crowd due to the fact that it was a Sunday and a warm one at that, but that wasn't the case. I had previously heard of some people saying that their service wasn't great but we personally had no issues as everyone we encountered was kind. I would definitely recommend this spot for brunch. 4.5 would be my true rating. read more

Pinstripes - Buffet style brunch, so its best to come with an appetite. The food was great! - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I recently dined there for their Easter Brunch. They were completely unprepared in every aspect including food and service. If I hadn't known any better, I would have thought this was the first time they have ever attempted something like this. We had a larger party of 14 and were seated downstairs. Which, by itself, is completely ok. However, the service we received, the food availability, cleanliness of the food area(s) as well as the friendliness of the staff were at best poor. When we sat down, there weren't enough place settings (knife/fork rolled in a napkin). I was informed I had to ask the host to get them. After being seated, it took our server 10-15 minutes just to take our drink order. It took almost 20 minutes just to get a glass of water. Then, waiting another 15 minutes, a family member and I walked up to the bar to get the drinks for our table. We were never offered a refill on our beverages until we were basically done with our meal (1.5 hours later). I took it upon myself to get up and grab 1-2 bottles of water to refill our table's needs. The plates were only taken away once during our dining experience resulting in many people eating off of multiple plates piled on top of each other. Others decided to take their own plates and pile them up near the dessert table where an empty tray sat. Additionally, we had to wait and return several times for clean plates to arrive in order to get more food (which the majority of the time wasn't replenished ether). There was a constant lack of food prepared in the buffet line. Once it was gone, it took a long time to replenish the dishes. The dessert table was not only out of most everything but when asking when they could replenish the dessert table we were instructed "if you want something quickly go upstairs to the other buffet." Again, not exactly the response I was anticipating along with not expecting to send my children upstairs to get food. When getting a waffle, I asked if there was any plain chocolate sauce and the service employee responded very short and unfriendly with "We have Nuttella and that's it. If we had chocolate we would have it out." Not exactly the friendly response I was expecting. It was an overall awful experience and would highly recommend not going there for any major holiday as they've proven they are not capable of handling large crowds. The quality of food wasn't awful but it wasn't the best they've ever offered. One positive thing that came out of this was they did not include gratuity so we were able to tip based on the server we received. Just to clarify, I've eaten there for both their brunch and regular meals and find their service and food typically very good. read more

Food was pretty good, service on the other hand was a different story. Waitress had no idea what she was doing. She took our plates without asking if we were done, which we weren't. Brought my wine that I ordered when we first sat down AFTER my meal came. Then she brought the check without asking if we wanted coffee or dessert. Then someone came and took the bill off the table and never came back, even tho I didn't put a card in there yet. It was not a good experience. They did take entree off the bill and gave 2 free glasses of wine. Please hire more experienced servers! read more
