This is one of our friend's favorite restaurants in Richmond, and I can see why! It's a really trendy spot. There's indoor and outdoor seating and the table arrangements are clearly pretty flexible for groups of different sizes. The outdoor area is covered and has space heaters as well. We really enjoy everything we tried - the pistachio salad was phenomenal, and the pork belly was really good too. The octopus was shockingly tender, just like our server promised. We ended the night with a generous slice of tiramisu a la mode, and I'm already thinking about when we can come back to try the rest of the menu! The staff were incredibly helpful. We sat outside, and when it threatened to drizzle, they moved us first under the awning than inside (when it started to rain). Both times they offered proactively, and were warm and helpful with each transition. Impressed with the quality and friendliness of the service. Highly recommend!

Met here on a Friday with a friend for lunch. The place was nicely decorated and very clean. The bathroom was well stocked and very clean as well. The food was very tasty. It was seasoned well. There were a lot of vegetarian options but if you don’t like lemon, there’s a lot of lemon added into the meals. the staff was very kind and attentive to our needs. The pricing was appropriate and they were healthy options such as swapping regular noodles for zucchini noodles. I would definitely come back.

The flavor combinations + freshness and quality of food are unreal. Whoever is coming up with these recipes is rocking it. So used to the Charlottesville food scene and this just blew us out of the water. Highly recommend! We came for brunch and tried several items off their brunch menu as well as a few of their tapas items. Also ordered a few cocktails. Everything was superb. Service was spectacular.

My friends and I celebrated our birthdays at Pinky’s for brunch and had such a great experience! We shared several tapas and loved trying and rating them all together. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. Our server, Kelsey, was amazing—so professional and attentive—and she surprised us with ice cream and birthday candles at the end. Such a thoughtful touch. We’ll definitely be back!

This place is seriously service driven as it is purpose driven! Amazed to see how lovely it is was. We were so happy that the the host, server and couple others accommodated us so well just cause we mentioned we have a movie to catch. Noelle and Charlie took the best care of us service like that is unmatched, so nice so polite, and might I add so so fast came to check on us soooo many times when we were there less than 30 minutes! As for the food everything was absolutely delicious and everything came out perfect. Hummus is a must along with the meatballs, beet salad was the best, and chicken piccata, seriously out of this world. I cannot wait to come back

Literally the best restaurant experience I have had anywhere, ever. Every member of staff seemed passionate about what they do and they did it well- service was flawless, space is beautiful, food was DELICIOUS, high quality, perfectly prepared (I didn't even know calamari could melt in your mouth like that...) and generously portioned. Prices extremely reasonable for the amount and quality of the food. I sincerely cannot overstate how incredible it was eating here!
