    Overall, it is a nice place with good food and a great location, perfect for business meetings. However, I had to take off points due to the noise issue. We were the only group on the second floor and came for a business lunch, intending to discuss important matters. Unfortunately, in the middle of our lunch, the waitstaff started sorting utensils loudly right next to our table. It became so noisy that we could hardly hear each other, making it difficult to hold a conversation. What made it more frustrating was that the staff did not even try to be quieter, despite clearly seeing that we were having a discussion. I hope they will be more attentive to their customers in the future after reading this review.

    We had a rowdy group of 17 after my daughter’s senior class performance and Pinstripes was exactly what we needed. The food was good, the service was better and everyone, school-aged kids to seniors, left well-fed and happy. The cherry on top was that they were able to accommodate us on relatively short-notice with an a day of expansion of our group. I like Pinstripes before, I love it now.
