The food is always amazing and the service is great last night only complaint is the wait time to be seated and getting the food even had a reservation! We were there for over 2 hours and it was my Birthday dinner! It was busy being Valentine’s Day and I understand overall food was outstanding as always!

First time to Pink Door and it did not disappoint! Everything we had was fabulous, the service was great as was the atmosphere! I felt at times I was in the 50’s with the decor and music which was fun! They even had real candles! We will definitely be returning!

I'd rather you raise the prices on the menu then bring me a bill telling me to pay your kitchen staff. I know minimum wage is higher but it reflects on ownership and management more than anything.
