    Crispy Calamari
    Cyndi G.

    Pinstripes Houston Happy Hour Done Right! Pinstripes Houston nails the Happy Hour experience! The Margarita Italiano is a must -- smooth, citrusy, and just the right kick. Great drink specials across the board! Food-wise, everything we ordered hit the spot: the Margherita Pizza, crispy Brussels Sprouts, golden Calamari, bold Spicy Wings, juicy Tenderloin Sliders, and those crave-worthy String Truffle Fries. And the service was absolutely outstanding -- a huge shoutout to Josh and Jasmine who were friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Whether you're here to bowl, sip, or just chill, Pinstripes delivers. We'll be back!

    Parking garbage, but charged 5$ per hour. That is sad. Maybe good for a date night. Will come back and try the food another time. Tuesdays are 2 fer. Bowling 15$ per person. Ouch. Parking, bowling, bocce, food and Drinks. Add up to an expensive date.

    Came in Sunday afternoon after church for brunch and bowling. The parking is located in the garage connected to the building and it is priced by how long you stay. Pinstripe is on the first floor facing Kirby and we took the elevators down. They have a brunch buffet on Saturdays and Sundays for $30/person and the bowling was $20/per person/ hr. You do not have to pay extra to rent the shoes and they also give you socks! When we called to reserve the lane, we inquired about the brunch as well. The girl said that we could eat brunch while we bowl, we just had to get the food and bring it upstairs. We arrived around 12:40 and they escorted us to our lane and helped us get our shoes. The ladies were very nice at the check-in desk. The bowling area is upstairs and is actually kind of small, but luckily it wasn't busy when we arrived. They only have about 15 lanes and every two lanes share a table in between. It makes your bowling area very small to sit only 3-4 people on your side of the lane. I'm also not too crazy about sharing a table with other strangers. Keep in mind that your time starts as soon as you check-in. I noticed that because by the time we went upstairs, got our shoes on and set up our station, 10 minutes was already deducted from our time. I feel that is a little unfair to not let people get settled first and start the timer when you start your first game. Also for that same reason, Bowling first was actually a mistake. You loose your bowling time by going downstairs to get your plate and it was a hassle trying to bowl between every bite of food. We already wasted time going to get the food, so we couldn't eat in peace. We couldn't even finish our second game. If you want to take advantage of brunch and bowl, I recommend you eat first and then go upstairs. We would have waited until we finished bowling to eat, but the brunch is over early at 2pm and they clean up quick. Which is too early in my opinion when most brunches end around 3:00pm. Brunch would have been over by the time our hour was done, so we had no choice. Plus, the menu upstairs during brunch is very limited. Ultimately I wasn't happy that the staff gave that recommendation to eat while we bowled. The brunch food was actually delicious and I loved the wide selection of foods. They had a waffle station, omelet station, ham/prime rib carving station and a variety on the buffet line. I would have definitely had a better experience and enjoyed the food more if we sat to eat first. I didn't get to try everything at the buffet because of rushing to get back upstairs, and there were a few stations unattended. I couldn't wait for them to get back. I would want to come back to try the brunch again, but I know better for next time. Also Next time I'll have more time to take more videos and pics. I barely had time to do that so I didn't waste more of our bowl time.

    Pinstripes is a more upscale bowling alley in the Houston area. It gets pretty popular on weekends and I was lucky to call and get a reservation as it wasn't showing on the website as available. (Pro tip) The biggest complaint I have is the disorganization/slow speed of the staff. The staff member who helped me didn't know how to process the gift cards as they had shown in the promotion and the other staff members looked to be overwhelmed with the guests coming in. I could tell that other guests were inpatient from waiting too. I got there within their grace period time but had to wait for them for an additional 7-8 minutes, taking away from my bowling time. Then we had to wait for that same person to escort us upstairs and choose the shoes. I think they could greatly benefit from better workflows and better trained staff. Once we got to the bowling area and started we didn't have any issues. Our waiter checked on us often but was super busy so we had to wait at times. The food we got was a mix- Their wings were delicious. We got 2 orders of sweet chili. 8/10 Their truffle fries were ok. 6/10 And their pizza was fresh but not that great. 4/10 From bowling for 2 hours for 4 people our total came to about 130$. And then the food (all I listed plus a Pepsi) was about $66.

    I've earned my stripes, and I can pin that experience on Barbi and her friends dragging me here. Summary? If you want to go to a fancy place with multiple levels of stuff and play some pretty cool games for a pretty high price in a very trendy neighborhood, this is your place. We don't have the money for stuff like this, even though we just live down the road, but it's still really cool and a very innovative concept.

    Fun spot to bowl but you have to reserve as it gets busy. It looked like it had great food but we ate before. It had a nice outdoor patio for food and dining even if you go for just that and can wait for bowling. They also have bocce ball if that's your thing. I saw multiple private rooms as it looks like parties can be held so it's large for such events

    Not big on bowling cuz i suck but this is the biggest and best alley. My job likes to come here and do happy hour and order party catering packages. All the food is good but I just experienced their brunch. Blew me away with the amount of options. So worth it! Definitely come hungry because the waffle bar, pastas , and more shall not be missed

    Okay, so we finally stopped by to check this place out. I'm giving them a 3 from my POV, but they are a solid 5 if you have kids. You can park in the attached garage and they will validate your ticket. There is also valet for $10. We walked around to the entrance and were quickly seated. The place is spacious, but tables are really close to one another inside. If you like your space you can sit in the patio. The Brunch buffet is served on the first floor and regular dinning and bowling is upstairs. The brunch buffet has an assortment of, just to name a few; salads, fruit cups, parfaits, pastas pizza, chicken tenders, baked chicken, bacon, sausage, biscuits, eggs, skillet potatoes, smoked salmon, croissants/bagels, omelette/waffle station and dessert table w/ chocolate fountain. Kids under 12 eat for $16, so again I say, a great option for kids. Lucky for us, we had my two little cousins. So it worked out. Enter freely they've been approved:)

    Went for a meeting. The room was definitely large enough to accommodate the few extra people who showed up (maybe 33 instead of 30), however they were not really able to accommodate those few extra guests. Seating. We had to go to the main dining area to get chairs to add to to our table set for 5 people. Silverware and plates. Our table was set with a dinner plate and a small salad plate and two forks, a knife and a spoon. Both myself and another guest at my table gave a plate and a fork to accommodate the two extra guests that we added to our table, because it took multiple times asking for plates and silverware to be brought. When extra silverware was finally brought, it was one fork, then two spoons, then a knife. Surprisingly, very piecemeal. They did bring extra plates and silverware when they brought out dessert. The food. Each table of five, or in our case seven, was brought three appetizers, a main entree of ten pieces of dark meat chicken, a huge serving of spiral mac and cheese, asparagus and a shared cheesecake dessert. Everything was served family style. So for our table of 7, we still spilt what was meant for 5. Since they did not make extra food, they were not able to bring out more to accommodate the additional people at our table which was surprising as I assume they have a kitchen at Pinstripes. No vegetarian entree was offered either. As far as the food, the salad was the best part of the dinner. The rest of the food was a bit underwhelming. Although, I did not leave hungry, I was not impressed with the food or service. The meeting room is next to the bocce courts which looked nice. The room was quiet and the A/V was good. The bowling lanes are down the hall. Neither were included in our experience, but both looked clean and like a nice activity. Parking is $10, but was validated for our meeting. The signage from the parking garage to get into Pinstripes is a bit confusing. There was a piece of white paper that said "enter Pinstripes here" taped onto the door to the stairs. There should have been another sign taped onto the next door, but there was no sign. So most of our party, walked down the stairs, went around the building, entered and then walked up another flight of stairs to get to the meeting room. I did ask and on the way out, the meeting room was literally on the same level as the parking garage through two sets of doors (one that was unmarked). For a meeting where an activity like bowling or bocce is part of team building, this might be a good place to go. For a dinner meeting only, I would look somewhere else.

    I came on a Friday evening. Finding the place from the parking deck proved very difficult. Parking in the deck is validated by giving your phone number to the hostess. I believe it was $54 for two of us to bowl for an hour. I made a reservation for 9:15 and we were taken upstairs around that time. They were very limited in their sizes of bowling shoes. I'm a 7.5 and my closest options were a 9 (way too big) or a 6 (tight but I made it work). Some people were bowling in their own personal shoes due to this. Our waitress came after about 5 minutes and said there was a happy hour menu until 10 so she'd grab the menu. She came back 15 minutes later and said happy hour ended at 8 . We ordered and started playing. The balls are themed after pool table balls to indicate the weight which was a cute touch. About 20-30 minutes after ordering, or food came. I ordered the signature Chop salad with balsamic vinegar on the side and no wonton strips. I got the salad doused in dressing (unclear if balsamic vinegar as it was quite sweet) and there were strips. My friend got a pepperoni pizza which was pretty good. They turn on the lights right at 10 despite the fact that many people still had time left on their hour long play time (including us). Overall it was a bit of a disappointment between the shoes and service but it is nice to have a bowling alley right in the city

    I'm leaving 2 stars, because the food and drinks were great! Now onto the service... for my reserved birthday!! I paid $280+ ahead for my group's bowling experience and made reservations for both the bistro and bowling. Now I will admit, I was 30 min late to my bistro reservation. When i arrived, more than half my party was there waiting for their food and drinks. The server(s) never introduced themselves to me and we ended up placing our food order and having it brought to our lanes. The service was beyond slow, our tables were not pre-bussed, we had to flag down waitstaff to place orders and the icing on the cake (literally because it was my birthday) was I had to request plates, silverware and a knife to cut the cake (which the knife was dirty and we had to again, flag down waitstaff for a new one. On to the checks!! Obviously we were a bigger party (12 guests) and we moved from the bistro to the lanes. Instead of it being a smooth transition, we waited 30 minutes after our bowling experience to get all the checks together. There were double orders of drinks and food on tickets, and multiple tickets given to everyone instead of consolidating them onto one so everyone could have a total. On top of it all a 20% gratuity included. Please PLEASE P L E A S E!!! Train your staff, give groups and parties ONE server, and if possible have a manager greet larger groups. I would not recommend Pinstripes to anyone, but with the holidays coming up, I hope you all can get it together! (Photos for reference )

    Came here on a Sunday afternoon for a friends birthday brunch. When you arrive you can either valet park for $10 or you can pay to park in the garage in which the price depends on how long you stay here (I believe 24 hours is approximately $10). We were able to get our parking validated at the host stand when we left. The restaurant is located on the bottom floor so you'll need to take the elevator elevator from the garage to the bottom level. On Sundays, they have a brunch buffet so it was an all you can eat situation. They had a variety of meals from pizza, pasta, bacon, eggs, veggies, salad fruit, waffles, omelette station, prime rib/ ham station and dessert station. Literally everything was good. The food was hot and fresh and they made sure to keep replenishing it throughout the afternoon. I was also very pleased with the customer service of everyone that I encountered. The servers, the chefs, the management team walking around, everyone was so pleasant! The price of the buffet is $30 per person but if you want to do the bottomless mimosas that's an extra $22/person so just an fyi. Afterwards we went bowling which was on the second level of the establishment. I'm the bowling ally is a little smaller compared to other bowling allys I've been too. Maybe about 16 lanes-ish (I could be wrong). It was cool, they played some music in the background and we had a server (Francesca who was super dope) in the event that you wanted to order food/drinks. All in all, this was a great restaurant to attend.

    I don't know where to start. Eating at this restaurant was a complete disaster. The restaurant was almost full, and it took more than 30 minutes to take our order. Then the food arrived relatively quickly, but the waiter left us without cutlery for about 10 minutes. The food was already cold when I could start eating. The drinks arrived at the end of the meal, and I even had to ask for water. The pasta tasted like it came from a pot. I will definitely not return or recommend this place.

    Is it $25 a person for an hour?

    $27pp/hour when we went on a weekend night

    Is there a rental fee for reserving a lane for bowling?

    No, pay walking in, perperson

    Is there a dress code?

    No, I've visited with casual clothing and another time with gym attire but consider what's on your feet because bowling shoes are required to bowl.

    Can you eat and bowl at the same time?

    Yes, you can. If you have a lane and order food, they bring the food out to your lane.

    Is bowling reservation only?

    It's best to make a reservation; I have never had any luck walking in to bowl.

    What is price for parking?

    No fee if you bring in your parking validation ticket for the hostess to validate it by the end of your time at pinstripes

    Is parking validated?

    Yes it is !

    Is this restaurant okay for children?

    Well apparently the consensus is "YES." Children are allowed. I however find it more suitable as an adult venue. It's very posh and upscale. I must say that I was annoyed with people at the grand opening not watching their little darlings as…

First, we got there pretty early for our reservation. We sat almost immediately upon check in. Our waiter was in training but did a really good job. Ordered a whiskey sour. Was seated at the bar so I got to watch it be made. The bartender- man that guy never stopped. He was organized and just did his thing. So many pretty drinks were made while I was there watching. The pink one, whatever it was, was really pretty! On to the food. We got two apps, two meals, and two desserts. Husband ordered the Brussels, Steak Frites, and the Devil's Affogato. I got the Bacon covered Dates, the Pizza, and the Sticky Toffee Cake. The Brussels were good - husband liked them more than me. They were good. Had cashews in them. Little spicy. The bacon covered dates. Think this was my favorite bite. Sweet, salty, creamy. Came we three & I had two. The pizza was sweet and salty as well. The crust was so good and fresh. The arugula set it off so well. Def a buy again! The Steak Frites was so good. The chimichurri sauce was perfect. Just the right mount of citrus. Steak was tender and the fries seasoned well. The desserts - don't skip them! The Devils Affogato we had the first time we ate at Sixty Vines. Had to have it again. If you like coffee, chocolate and vanilla ice cream just get it.

Had a 5:30pm resy, seated outside right away that Saturday evening--it was a full house 45 minutes later. You'd be a fool to skip the dilly bread--a complete fool! The rolls are pillowy and warm. I could eat the butter by the pint. The fingerlinging potato dish is also a must have...pretty small for $19 but tastes like heaven. Spicy! Zaddy was being a bit of a clutz that evening and knocked over my $20 mezcal cocktail, so what does he do? Orders me another one! (That's why he's "zaddy") ....kind of wish he hadn't...so wasn't worth the price tag. Skip it. The chicken dinner was definitely the winner--fresh, juicy breast, crispy skin...don't be cute, you won't finish it unless your party has at least 4 in it! The flies were ruthless! Very annoying! They were acting like the geekers that come bother you just outside your favorite fried chicken joint in south Dallas! Our waitress brought out a table fan so that made the experience a little more tolerable. The chocolate peanut butter pie tasted like a salt rock and the lemon chiffon pie had great flavor but not lemony enough for me. All in all this place is a bit pricey but truly a gem! Until next time, Nobie!

It also felt like a third space of sorts, because I was hanging out with a well connected friend, and everyone who came in was a who's who of the Houston restaurant/nightlife scene, and gathered for what turned out to be an unplanned hang out. They were hosting a vinyl swap night, so folks were coming in to peruse the many boxes of vinyls, and a DJ spun classic r&b tunes. I hear that on some nights they make space for a dance floor so people can show off their best two step in the space. The drinks were great and well priced but the wine selection is what got me. I was told they were inspired by Japan's many vinyl listening bars-- having been to many across Japan as well as many NYC imitators, this place actually impressively comes close. A true gem in Montrose.

Regarding the food, the Frisée Salad was pretty good, well dressed and flavorful. The chicken sandwich was okay. The batter was crispy and flaky but it had no flavor. What made it a lot better was the coleslaw that brought a great deal of tang and moisture. The steak was not quite for me. It came on a bed of sauce that was flavorful with fresh veggies but it did not go well with the steak. Perhaps chicken would've suited better. The steak itself was dry and quite chewy. For dessert we had the carrot cake tres leches which was decent. The carrot cake flavor was there but the moisture from the cake was not fully spread in the cake. Overall nothing here was bad but with the plethora of restaurants in the Houston area I can't justify recommending or returning.

The atmosphere was laid back and the ambiance was very conducive for a great date spot. The service was impeccable. Never had to wait on anything and the food came out in a timely manner. The food was just like the reviewer had said: the pancakes were delicious and had a lemony taste to them, bacon was just like I like it, crisp but firm with a smoky flavor, roasted potatoes were firm and roasted to perfection and the added sea salt gave them that just right taste that lingers with you, but the star of the show was the Scallion biscuits. They were done to perfection from the texture to the taste and when you added your jam and butter to them, everything went to another dimension. Definitely will be one of my new brunch spots.

The croutons in the Caesar salad are made from actual homemade sourdough bread, fried fresh to order, and they are absolutely delicious. Normally, I have to steer completely clear of bread due to gluten, but they use a high-quality, special flour here that my system handled with absolutely no issues or reactions. It truly makes you feel special dining here. ​A massive shout-out to my waitress, Sarah! She gave off the most pleasant, soft, kind, and compassionate vibes from the moment she stepped up to the table. She made an amazing experience even better. I will definitely be back!

For dessert, tiramisu, then a digestive drink Caffe Non-Coretto which has Fernet Branca bitters, pistachio milk and I forgot what else but it was perfect.

I loved how much Marsala was soaked into the lady finger sponge cake. And the white cream around it was the cherry ** on top! ... the food, the service, the decor was all-so-spitz-ing. Chico was a fabulous and attentive waiter who also respected our time. PSA there's a speakeasy with a ¡POST-IT! wall and photo both to share memories ... SHHH!

    When you're stuck in town but want to feel like you're in a tropical destination, The Toasted…read moreCoconut is where you need to come. The team behind the popular restaurant Nobie's opened up this tiki inspired restaurant. Tiki bars happen to be one of my favorite varieties of bars so I was more than excited to finally check it off my list. I had recently seen them on the Food Network as well. They share a lot with another popular dining spot so parking can be a little difficult in their lot. You can find street parking or park across the street in an overflow lot. Customer service was great from start to finish. We had just ate next door and our intentions were to come in here just for cocktails, but I couldn't leave without trying some of the popular items. I wanted the most tropical drink I could find on the menu so I started off with the Blue Hawaiian. I saw fire on the description so my extra self needed to have it. I'm a big rum guy so this drink was right up my alley and very boozy with two types of rum. It was very coconut forward with pineapple being the secondary flavor. One was enough for me to feel just right. Since we had just ate, we decided to share the World Famous Cheeseburger. This was a great burger. I don't know if they were going for the smash effect, but it had smash burger characteristics. It had all my favorite things that are musts on a burger like American cheese and red onions. It also had a very nice chili aioli that added great flavor to the burger. I came on another stop for a drink visit shortly after and tried the pork dumplings and popcorn chicken. These were also very good. If I lived in the area, this place would easily be a place I would frequent often. I will most definitely be back!

    Passed by this place multiple times and finally decided to stop in for drinks and appetizers…read more The ambience grabs your attention just walking into the restaurant they have string lights along the walkway and low amber lights as you go inside. They have an outdoor eating area, a bar area, and seating in the very back. It's very spacious, comfortable, and intimate. The theme of the restaurant is seen all over from the moment you enter, to the music, the menu and the restroom. They paid close attention to detail with decorating. We had an amazing server, delicious drinks (a must try), and ok food. We ordered four drinks the painkilla, vamos à la playa, captains grog, and the Hemingway daiquiri. All were great drinks and we loved how they give you flavor characteristics of the drinks on the menu. The appetizers that we ordered were the sweet and sour cauliflower and the pork dumplings, which is why I gave this place four stars. The presentation of both appetizers were excellent. However, the pork dumplings were disappointing. They came with only six dumplings for $17, were served cold, and are very bland. In my opinion, they weren't worth the price. On the other hand, the sweet and sour cauliflower was our favorite and is definitely a must-try.

Really good combination of flavors and textures. Everything was nice: lamb tartare was delicious, salad was strong. Chicken satisfying. Had a solid dessert too: hazelnut marjolaine.

The Nancy Cakes are worth the hype, piping hot with that whipped butter and smoked trout roe combo that somehow just works. We also had the dumplings and the double cheeseburger on the English muffin, both excellent. The burger especially punches way above what you'd expect from a bistro. The vibe is perfect. Dark, relaxed, no pretension, and still feel like you're having a great night out. Michelin Bib Gourmand for a reason. This is one of the best restaurants in Houston, full stop. Just make a reservation, the place fills up fast.

Avery was a wonderful bartender and kept up with entertaining conversations and was attentive to all service needs. Tried the g4 tequila reposado and it was very easy drinking.
