    Both the sign-in crew at the entryway podium as well as the wait staff in the dining room were exceptionally helpful and accommodating to me when I came very early for my reservation. And, then, once my guest arrived, the wait staff continued to go above and beyond. Many menu options tempted us and we were pleased with our choices -- good looking and delicious!

    We enjoyed our birthday celebration at Pinstripes, but I have one suggestion. The "truffle fries" were very disappointing - not tasty or hot. They were thinner than shoestring size and not at all appetizing. I recommend you rethink that offering. Everything else was very enjoyable.
