    Wagyu burger a little too salty for my liking. Cocktails and mocktails were great though

    Lovely food! A delicious and different seafood meal. Ambience was very good, particularly the deck area (we ate inside which was nice too). The service could have been quicker to start with given the restaurant was only half full at that time, but improved later on. The wines were good too. We saw many people enjoying the cocktails too.

    Loved our experience at Pinchys. The wait staff were wonderful - attentive and helpful. They made us feel very valued and welcome. We ate outdoors in the evening and loved the casual feel of the setting. Despite being at a busy end of Bourke St it felt private and shaded by the tree canopy on the street. Really beautifully presented and tasty food. What we noticed particularly was the delicate balance of flavours. The tuna tartare and grilled octopus were top shelf. The only disappointment was my husband's lobster linguine which he found too spicy. We highly recommend Pinchys for great seafood dining in the city. We'll be back

    Was excited to go back to Pinchy’s for the lobster linguine. On this occasion, the food was terrible, our order was taken incorrectly, one of the mains was missed and we all ate at different times. My lobster linguine was swimming in red sauce with very little lobster/ a few strands of pasta ($48). We ordered a bottle wine, and was poured one glass each, then when it was time for a refill there was barely enough for another two glasses. They had mixed up the wine bottles with maybe another table. Whilst they did provide another glass of wine each and discounted our bill by $20 I was not recommend this restaurant to any of my friends. Value for money is a 1 star.

    First time coming here and had a very enjoyable experience! The oysters were fresh and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable with recommendations. The lobster linguine was the standout dish we ordered. Very delicious the pasta was cooked perfectly! The lobster roll was a very close second! The fries were the best I’ve had in a long time! The grilled octopus, not to be outdone was superb! I’m not a big octopus fan but I enjoyed that dish much more than I thought I would! We finished our meal with a few more fresh oysters, they were that good!

    Great lunch at Pinchy’s. We had the tasting plate which had 2 starters, and 2 mains (each). Excellent way to try out lots of things on the menu. The lobster roll and the prawn latsu were absolute standouts but everything was so tasty. Some reviews I read said it wasn’t good value and people left hungry after ordering this but I tend to disagree. I thought it was a good amount and didn’t leave feeling too well. Will definitely recommend for the spot and the eats!

    One of the best restaurants in Melbourne by far. The best Oysters I’ve ever had. Everything was perfect. This is our new favorite spot.
