    I’ve been to this place a few times on weekends and found it to be relatively solid. When I arrived on Saturday for a business lunch, the young person at the host stand could not find the reservation then threw some shade, then dumped us in the bar. No menus or explanations. After several minutes of waiting, I returned to the host stand to ask for menus—but was informed with an eye roll that they only do a buffet. We had seen the milk chocolate fountain but figured that it was for some teenagers’ party. Nope. That nasty, unsanitary, early 2000’s event was part of the buffet. We had a great lunch at Shake Shack. No need to return to Pinstripes.

    Food is good but service is not. Waiter was friendly but took a while to take order and with kids it’s really hard.

    Restaurant couldn’t find my reservation from OpenTable and wouldn’t take my certificate from OpenTable. Most likely will not go back. We had to wait a long time for everything.

    Food was good and the Santa was very charismatic with great stories for the kids. Waitstaff was noticeably absent much of the time and when present they took a while to get us our beverages. Our table was set without utensils and we had to wait a while after requesting from our server. Empty plates took a while for them to take away. For a mandatory 20% gratuity, the service was very lacking.
