“ I went to Pinky's for a girls night dinner, and we had an excellent time! I was very impressed with how accommodating and caring the waiters and kitchen were. I have a tree nut allergy and another person in my party is vegan. Our waiter did an excellent job confirming what modifications could be made. I was so happy when they were able to make the seasonal risotto without nuts! ”

“ We went to Pinky's to celebrate my wife's' birthday and we had an amazing time! The charred octopus was on the level and the Hasselback potato (potatoes cut about halfway through into thin, fan-like slices) was the perfect compliment. The cocktails were also picture perfect. For the main entrée I had the 18 oz. bone-in ribeye which was to die for. They cooked it a perfect medium-rare and it with a big glob of their "Pinky's steak butter" which I devoured. Just like the charred octopus the accompanying fingerling potatoes were a perfect match. I tried a few bites of the lemon-parmesan arugula but for me arugula tastes like licking a battery. My dark leafy greens of choice are Kale, Collards, and spinach. My friends got the Crispy Chicken Piccata and let me tell you, Pinky's hooks you up when it comes to portion size. Nobody was leaving hungry that night. The chicken piccata comes with broccolini and I should have asked for that instead of what a nickel tastes like (i.e. arugula). The birthday girl had the Pesto Chicken Panino and enjoyed it. That dish also came with a side of dark leafy car batteries. Lasty, the 4th member of the squad got the seasonal risotto which was cooked very well. Overall, the food was excellent, the service was lovely, and the setting was super pleasant. My wife had a wonderful birthday dinner. Thanks, Pinky's! ”

“ It's been awhile since I was thoroughly impressed by a local place and wow does Pinky's deserve it. Drinks were great, and it's a cute atmosphere. Nina was a great server!! The food here is unbelievable. The lamb papas was some of the best food I've had in Richmond. My other person got the risotto which was equally as good. This place is a gem!! ”

“ 3.75 really lol. When i walked in, around 8pm on a wednesday, the place was EMPTY..which i found odd, but two other parties dined while i was there. I liked the atmosphere- industrial but still intimate feeling. Waitress was nice. I had the calamari and the chicken piccata. Both were flavorful but the calamari was a touch too salty (and i like salt). The piccata was seasoned nicely, plenty of capers, too much breading. Hefty portion- enough for 3 ppl because it was also a rich dish- a lot of butter sauce, even on the broccolini. I could feel my blood pressure and cholesterol rising with this meal - not that i was trying to be healthy but dang! Welcome to the south i guess.. ill be back for other offerings though.. on occasion. ”

“ We went on a Saturday evening and the place was packed at peak dinner time. I would recommend a reservation, which can be made on RESY. Everything we had was delicious from the cocktails to our food to the dessert. Our server was super friendly and patient with us. We never felt rushed although we were admittedly there for awhile catching up. Half the menu is tapas. The server let me know they are large enough to be an entree for an individual. The restaurant was quite dark and my only gripe from the experience was that the whole space was super smoky since they have an open kitchen. ”

“ When driving from Connecticut to South Florida, we often stay in Virginia. Twice we've had dinner at Pinky's on our journey--and I'll stop there every chance I get! We love sitting at the bar. The food is interesting and delicious, as are the cocktails. Cheerful, energetic atmosphere, attentive wait staff. ”

“ Nice location, seems to be in an old garage, very tall ceilings and big garage doors. Service was very good. We enjoyed the food, lots of garlic in the calamari dipping sauce which I liked but if you are sensitive to that, maybe try something else. Overall a nice place to have dinner in Scott's Addition ”

“ Amazing vegetarian options, and the food was plated to perfection. Service was good, could have been a little more attentive. It was also early in the service and they may have been attending to prep. The ambiance and decor is as cool and laid back as the food. Will be back. ”

“ Pinky's is a Scott's fave! The ambiance is so bright and airy between both the indoor and outdoor space. I've enjoyed many brunches and dinners in both spaces. I absolutely love that the linen napkins are pink. So great for a hang with the girl's but also such an inclusive space for all. I've been to Pinky's so many times with large groups and let me say I'm always so impressed how they handle large parties. I mean like no sweat loss to split checks and apps and all the things. I'll say the food still comes out in such a reasonable time for large parties also. I've had dates here also with just two people and it's equal service in my experiences. Y'all know I'm always going to shout it from the rooftops when a business has superior service. Way to rep hospitality! Everything I've ever tried at Pinky's is delicious, even things I wouldn't think I'd like. Lamb papas - just do it. Calamari - so crispy and fresh and the aioli that comes with it is yummy. Meatball - perfectly fresh and homemade with beef, chicken, and lamb. I love a good pork belly, so I always enjoy the pork belly BLT. On this particular visit, I opted for something new and tried the shaved ribeye ras El hanout which was great. I opted for my side to be fries. I'm a fry girl at heart and will give any place with good fries bonus points, and they didn't miss here. So hot, crispy, salted, and you get sauce with them. Get the homemade ranch..it's just different and delicious. Pinky's always has nice drinks also. I enjoy the le bolle, secret garden, and orange wine is refreshing. Mocktails are good too. So many fun food and drinks options, good vibes, and excellent customer service. ”
