Pinky's

Enjoyed dinner here on a Sunday evening as part of a family trip visiting friends in Richmond. The food was excellent! Service was super as well. Can’t recall our server’s name but she was delightful: Attentive, good suggestions and knew the menu well. When we visit Richmond again we’ll be back and continue working our way through the menu trying things we weren’t able to try on our first visit. As for some details on the food: Flavors, plating, visuals, fresh ingredients, everything was really very good! The crisp lamb in the risotto was a super contrast to the creamy risotto. Loved the flavors in the vegan squash puttanesca. The seasonings were really well balanced and seemed really fresh. We’re not vegan and decided to add shrimp which were cooked just right! Definitely try the grilled octopus! The cocktails were very good too. Really liked the Smoke + Chili! Nice little kick of heat to this without being fiery.

We had such a great experience at Pinky’s! I was very silly and accidentally made our reservation for the wrong day, but the staff was incredibly sweet and attentive when we arrived. Their brunch was really popping, yet they still offered us a few options right away. We could sit on their patio immediately or take a table inside that they would need back by 12:30. The weather was beautiful, so we chose the patio. It’s also equipped with heat lamps for colder days, which is such a thoughtful touch. We were a party of six and were genuinely impressed with how quickly they were able to accommodate us without a reservation. Our server was fantastic and the menu was full of unique and delicious options. The Pinky’s BLT was AMAZINGG and they were super accommodating with my dietary restrictions. Definitely recommend coming here for a fun brunch date or hang. Great vibes and great food all around!

We went to Pinky's this past weekend to celebrate some fun life events, and it was the perfect place. They had lots of fun drinks to pick from as well as some mocktails. The food was delicious. We did a bunch of tapas, and everything was super tasty. The food came out at a good pace. We tried a bunch of desserts too (not pictured), but could not rave about the cheesecake enough. The tiramisu was also to die for, but if you don't like the taste of alcohol, you may not enjoy it. We hope to go back if we're in the area again even if its just for a small plate or 2.

Adorable place with great, fresh-tasting food. Lots of options and all sounded great. My risotto with charred octopus was good although for my pallette I felt like the complex flavors of the seasonal squash risotto was overpowering and took away from the wonderfully charred octopus that was tender and beautifully cooked. That may be my own fault though and the octopus was my choice to add. The Giardino board was great, fresh fruit and a nice selection of cheese we enjoyed. My husband thought everything looked so vibrant and fresh and enjoyed his dish as well with eggs and breakfast potatoes. Speaking of potatoes, if you order a side of them, it's enough for 2 people, a nice healthy portion but so delicious you may want more 😆. Of note, parking was hard to find and some of us ended up walking a couple blocks so give yourself time if you're meeting up with folks. Overall great find, and we will be back to try more.

Gave this place a try for date night out on the town. Located in Scotts Addition this restaurant has a stylish warehouse vibe with plenty of seating. It was busy and packed when we arrived; but, we were seated in no time at all. The menu has a lot of options to choose from which all sound delicious. I had the pork chop which was plated wonderfully and the flavor was awesome with the sauce. And the snap peas added a great option for a side I was pleased as that is not an option at most other restaurants. Our waiter Ryan was really attentive and had good knowledge of the menu and the ingredients. Service was great and so was the food.

This was just ok. I think saying this is Mediterranean food is a huge stretch. I found my chicken pesto and garlic aioli, to be extremely salty.I was also confused by the options, and sides offered in relation to it being a mediterranean restaurant the ambiance was nice. I liked the open seating, but the chairs were extremely uncomfortable. It would take a lot for me to return to this restaurant

Excellent option to go with your partner, friends, or family. The Prosciutto Patino Sandwich is divine, and if you like spicy flavors with a touch of curry, you must try the Spiced Lamb Risotto. The Crispy Pork Belly brings back a taste of Latin flavor. The only downside is that sometimes there was a garbage smell because we asked to sit on the patio, and they placed us near the trash

A quaint restaurant with delicious food but a small amount of space. Our server was very kind, and there was also a solid drink selection (Aperol Spritz was top notch, Prosecco was so-so). Foodwise, I got the Grilled Octopus and the Pork Belly BLT. Highly recommend both of these! Best octopus I've ever had. I do recommend checking it out, but go ahead and look into making a reservation first. **Sidenote- it's a tad pricey. We were celebrating a birthday so it was more of a splurge day.

Pinky's is such a lovely restaurant with a diverse and delicious menu. I came here with my parents for dinner while they were in town, and between the three of us, we shared five small plates of varying sizes. The crispy pork belly was delicious and so flavorful. We felt like the octopus was a little bit overcooked, and I wish the fries were crispier. Our waiter recommended the Atlantic crab risotto, and he did not lead us astray. This portion size is very generous, and the crab and corn provide a lovely contrast of flavors. The pistachio topping added a lovely texture as well. We also shared one of the paninis and really enjoyed it. The waitstaff were very attentive, and the food was quick to come out. Overall, we had a lovely time, and I would definitely love to come back to try more of the menu.

My wife and I have enjoyed Pinky's a number of times, great food, great service. That was, until, Nov 22, where all that went south. Our appetizer, the Zeppole, was raw on the inside with raw dough inside. My shaved Ribeye sandwich had two or three tiny slices of beef and was too dry to eat, the lemon greens were all that was edible. My wife's Mushroom and goat cheese omelet had two tiny mushrooms on top of the eggs and mayonnaise, not goat cheese drizzled on top. Service was good, as always, but we'll be going elsewhere when dining out moving forward

Great experience. Excellent quality. Interesting ambience. Food/drinks: Fabulous! Honestly, no complaints. The fish was delicious. The fries with the dipping sauces were fun. The kids menu was reasonable for a higher end restaurant. The drinks were creative, complex, and top notch. Service: Excellent! I wish I remembered our server. I believe he also came up with one of the cocktails on the menu. He was responsive, professional, helpful but not imposing. Warm and effective service. Ambiance: The restaurant is in a repurposed warehouse and has a fresh, bright, modern feel. I liked that it felt high end without feeling stuffy or pretentious. Kid-friendly? Yes! Changing table, high chair, and kids menu all available.

Pinky's is a Southern-fusion restaurant masquerading as Mediterranean, where every dish seems to be crafted to sucker-punch diners with one aggressive flavor after another, under the dubious pretense of being "Calabrian cuisine." The food is technically competent and generally tasty, but the composition screams "young and insecure chef." There is no palate rest, no quiet, and little trust in subtlety. The menu reads sophisticated, but the experience is more like being tenderized from the inside. Not recommended for those with digestive sensitivities or for diners who believe a beet salad shouldn't open with a right hook. Our server was excellent, the drinks were just okay - one being dominated by chili pepper and the other by piquant lime oil. Multiple dishes looked as though a bag of whole pistachios had been spilled on them. Even the cheesecake dessert, which one might expect to be a safe harbor, was acidic, spicy, herbal, and assertive, (vinegar, lime zest, fresh ginger, torn basil,) like the kitchen couldn't imagine a dish succeeding unless it punched every receptor one last time on the way out. If you enjoy this kind of Southern-fusion flavor maximalism, and the bravado it implies, Pinky's may be for you. For me, it was a skilled execution of questionable ideas. Pinky's adheres to a culinary philosophy that's trying to dazzle by force, not nurture by craft.

This was good. Service was alright, spot is very cute. My food was pretty good, but nothing special and I probably wouldn't return the price.

They serve Mediterranean food. Although we made a reservation, we still had to wait 20 minutes, but the manager was nice about it and "reimbursed" us for our time. All of the drinks were pretty strong. Mine was supposed to be sweet, but it was still strong for my taste. For the entree, I got the lamb chop. It was a bit on the pricier side and a bit salty, but the food was good overall. For the dessert, I tried the Tiramisu and the cheese cake. Everything tasted fresh, but I liked the cheese cake more because the Tiramisu was a bit dry. Overall, I'd come back if there was a birthday dinner, but probably not for any regular occasion.

Came for brunch on a weekend with a reservation around noon and we were seated promptly. There was a bit of a wait for the food to arrive, but we were able to enjoy our drinks in the meantime. The ambiance was naturally bright + pink + positive. I had the Secret Garden cocktail which was refreshing with strawberry and lime flavors. The serrano ham omelette was tasty, though the ham on top had parts that were extra salty. The drizzle of harissa aioli was a nice touch. The greens on the side were fresh and had a lemon dill dressing. Our server was friendly and prompt, though there were a few moments when we felt a bit rushed towards the end of our meal. Overall, a good brunch experience!

Enjoyed a late lunch at Pinky's today. The food was good- the service was great - and I appreciate the airy ambiance with a high ceiling, big picture windows and great handicap accessible entry and facilities. (I use a walker). I had the citrus, fennel, arugula and pistachio salad with dill salad dressing. Husband went for the chicken and chili sandwich with side salad. My friend chose a charcuterie plate with cheeses, jam, fruit and bread. We all really enjoyed our meal. Drinks were also good - my friend's orange wine was bright and crisp - my cucumber citrus mocktail was beautiful and just what I needed for a hot summer day and my husband enjoyed his beer. We weren't rushed and all staff were very friendly.

The food and service were GREAT! I did not expect the food to be as tasty as it was. The Octopus was the star of the show with the Risotto and Cheesecake not far behind. I'd definitely eat here again!

I've been to Pinky's several times now and each visit is better than the previous one. The menu isn't large but it does cover all the bases and is very dietary inclusive. They use fresh ingredients in their food and drinks. The cocktail program is quite exquisite. I enjoyed a cocktail with flower sprinkles in it. This restaurant is located in Scott's addition and does not have its own designated parking lot. Finding parking can be an adventure so plan ahead for that. Overall I enjoyed dining at Pinky's and look forward to my next visit!

A Mediterranean restaurant featuring creative dishes near downtown Richmond. The place was not easy to find, and it looked humble outside. However. the inside had nice decors -- including the diningware and napkins, all of which correspond to the name of this restaurant. I came there twice during my visit to Richmond. First time was for brunch. I ordered a crispy chicken & chile sandwich sub a side of fruits, plus a side broccolini. The fried chicken was drizzeld with honey and tasted spicy-sweet. The Fresno chiles was juicy and sweet, which paired greatly with the chicken. However, the bread they use was not baguette (indicated by the menu). Worse, some grapes were spoiled. The broccolini was good. The second time was for dinner. Ordered Rockfish Cartoccio because I never tried having fish baked in a "bag". The dish looked interesting. The meat was tender. However, there was little fennel and everything was too salty for me. Plus, they charged $8 for just several pieces of bread! Service was Okay. Vibe was a bit loud but I like it. So in general it is a good place to try/learn some new dishes but not a "safe" place to have an amazing meal.

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!

If you don't enjoy Pinky's, you don't really like good food, service and a fun, albeit loud, atmosphere. It's a perfect place to start my birthday week restaurant crawl and beach vacation. We made a last-minute reservation for 12:30. When we arrived the restaurant was crowded but there were some tables available. We were sat at a 2-top by the bar. I'm not a fan of 2-top tables. I wish restaurants would just do 4-top tables or larger 2-top ones. There's just not enough room to spread out a little. It's the equivalent of being an adult at the kids' table on Thanksgiving. The table was wobbly too. I hate to complain but at this point I was feeling like my expectations were too high. When our server Megan came to the table I asked if there was a way to level the table and apologized for asking her but she very graciously went and got the thing that could slide under the leg, making it stable. Ahhh. So much better. We started with drinks...smoke and chill and the manhattan. Megan brought water over when she first greeted us so we were set. The menu. Oh my gosh...the menu! Well, I should say menus. We were there on Saturday, which means brunch and lunch, plus cocktails and wine. And they had a couple more cocktails on special on a little stand that were for the Flying squirrels. Nice! I've always wanted to be one of those people who could just say 'we will have one of everything,' like the judges on Top Chef when they are doing restaurant wars. But we don't have that luxury because frankly I hate food waste and I can only eat so much. So calamari for my husband and scallops for me. Y'all, go look at the scallop picture I posted. It was amazing! It had a cream sauce with a hint of spice, polenta cakes and a garlicky gremolata with pickled fresno chilis. There was also a sherry reduction. Holy cow This was good. Honestly, if I had that with some crusty bread or pasta...I need to get back to Pinky's before that leaves the menu. Go there, Get the scallops and a slide of bread and thank me later. For mains we got the red snapper cooked with wine, butter, garlic, saffron and fennel. It had tomatoes too. It was baked in parchment so steamed perfectly with the flavors intermingled. It came with grilled bread and asparagus. I ate as much as I could but ended up giving half the fish to my husband. I wanted to make sure I had room for dessert. Tiramisu and Pinky's version of an espresso martini. Probably the best I've ever had. I was around for the first round of espresso martinis being a thing in the 90s so I've had my fair share. This one is next level. My husband has been on the hunt for Strega, a digestive he used to drink in Boston, where he is from. He said Pinky's is a cool bar so they'll have it. I said no way, but lo and behold, it showed up at our table, making the day special for my husband too. What an amazing meal to start a great week. If you haven't tried Pinky's, you must go. Especially if you like Mediterranean-style food and enjoy amazing seafood. Can't wait to go back. Megan is on my list of fun servers. She made great recommendations and made the meal so much fun.

Went to check out Pinky's during restaurant week and I was really impressed with everything. Our waiter was extremely nice and made me and my friend feel really welcomed and checked up on us often. We never felt rushed when we were trying to order and they offered some great suggestions. Started off with cocktails , I ordered the marigolds vs peonies which was great, has really light and has an airy feel to it which was perfect for a nice day and also fits into that coastal Mediterranean theme. When the food came out, everything looked as good as it tasted. I ordered the seasonal risotto and you have the option to add a protein to it if you like and I chose crab. My friend ordered the Atlantic crab French omelette with a side of potatoes, and we both agreed that everything hit the mark. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and a nice patio area, which is great for a sunny day like when we went. I definitely recommend this spot, this was a great experience and I'm definitely planning on coming back.

Normally, I love this place. Pretty much been happy with almost everything Ive ordered here. Today I got the pesto chicken panino sandwich, which was very good. However, I asked if I could add barrata to the sandwich and the waitress said no problem. She didn't mention an up charge, but I figured she'd either tell me or it would be like three or four dollars at the most. They charged me nine dollars. I think they should have let me know that and given me the option of declining the addition. A $17 sandwich turned into a $26 sandwich. It was good but I don't know if it was $26 worth and kind of a bummer on what was a nice meal with a friend I hadn't seen in a while. The only criticism I have about the sandwich itself is that the bread was too soft for a Panini. Needed something more substantial to hold up. My friend enjoyed her mushroom and goat cheese sandwich and said it had a little kick which was nice. Parking is a challenge and no fun in rainy weather which also means the patio is not an option. But the inside is a nice size and feels somewhat tropical.

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.

Good food, nice ambiance and good service. There is a wide selection of items that are gluten-free or GFO.

Had a great meal while traveling to Richmond. A local Hazy IPA followed but their Caesar Salad and Octopus from the Tapas part of the menu. Staff was very attentive and efficient. I would definitely come back if in town. I also saw a lot of gluten free and vegetarian options

Pinkys was a great experience! It's such a cute restaurant and service was excellent. They had so many clearly marked vegan options!! We started with the fried artichoke hearts made vegan-the sauce was so good! I had the Vegan summer squash puttanesca with added grilled mushrooms- it was HUGE and really delicious! I would love to come back and try more!

We had such a lovely experience with excellent and attentive service! I loved the high ceilings and spacious decor of the converted warehouse space. Our waitress was very accommodating to our table's gluten allergy and ensured the shareable apps were gluten-free without us asking. The salumi board was excellent pickings with our beverages. The side of sautéed broccolini was fresh but a little heavy on the butter in my opinion. I absolutely demolished the ribeye sandwich and I would go back for it again.

Perfection as always. Had their home made hot sauce for the first time - wish I could buy a bottle it was that good

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.

I absolutely love the vibe at this space. The patio is incredible for nice weather day. The goal for the food toes the line of Mediterranean, but tends to have a difficult time with execution. I love that it's a great go-to for drinks and brunch. Brunch: I recommend the lamb papas with a sunny side up egg on top. It's close to my job, so I'll end up there for lunch from time to time. I do wish they had more filling vegan options. Lunch: I recommend the Autumn burrata and anything lamb. The service is usually great, and the drinks are consistently good.

We stopped by as part of the Richmond Restaurant Week 2025. Our reservation was for 6 and were seated immediately. The place is one large open, high ceiling rectangle. Industrial but nice. The was no issue with noise even though the tables are rather close together. We had the set menu. We started with the meatballs and the chicken croquettes. Both were very tasty. The sauce on the meatballs was very good. For mains we had the spicy pork chops and the chicken piccata. The pork chop had a nice kick from the peppers and the wonderful sauce. It came with a super tender and tasty baked potato. The chicken was fork tender with fried potato and. Micro green salad. Everything was so tasty with a nice level of seasoning. We got the desserts to go. Oh yeah, great cocktails too!!!

My fiancé and I are new to Richmond and looking for a good place to eat. We randomly picked Pinky's, and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere was vibrant and cozy, the food was absolutely delicious, and the service was next-level. Our server, Iyanna (M), was incredible--super friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. She kept our glasses full, checked in just the right amount, and made us feel cared for while still handling her other tables like a pro. Service like that is rare and deserves to be recognized. Food-wise, my fiancé had the risotto with added chicken (SO good), and I went with the shaved ribeye and fries--both were flavorful and perfectly cooked. We even grabbed a dish to go and topped off our meal with a slice of cheesecake for dessert. Everything was on point. Pinky's has officially earned a spot on our list of favorite Richmond spots. We can't wait to come back--hopefully when Iyanna is working again!

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.

Great food, fabulous people, albeit a bit too noisy. I'd definitely go back when I'm in Richmond again.

Excellent food, warm and friendly service, and I love the ambience of the inside design. Can't say enough good things about this great restaurant. Highly recommended.

We were a huge group and sat outside. Beautiful patio but unfortunately it felt super warm at times. We started with mixed appetizers, among which was the grilled octopus - fantastic dish. We also shared some fried zucchini, pancetta version of pimiento cheese and chicken meatballs. All delicious! For mains the table ordered an array of dishes from the pork chop to sandwiches and salads. We also had 3 desserts, tiramisu, ice créame and sorbet. All of that was paired with overflowing cocktails. I believe we must have ordered all the menu. And they were all fantastic! I'd recommend the matcha cocktail and their take on the Aperol spritz. Service was incredibly sweet and attentive. And we value it even more considering we were 16 people! Can't wait to come back!

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

We popped in here for a bit to eat on a Sunday afternoon and stumbled upon a great brunch spot. We were immediately greeted by a nice hostess and an unfortunate haze of smoke from the open air kitchen. The hostess asked if we had a reservation, which we did not, and told us it would be a 45 minute wait. Fortunately, we spotted an opening at the bar and asked if we could sit there and she happily obliged. Sitting at the bar was nice to watch the 3 busy bartenders do their thing. It is built in entertainment. Our bartender/server took our drink and food order promptly. We had mimosas which were very good. Our food came out timely and the three of us were in the clean plate club. We enjoyed: *Goat cheese and mushroom French omelette *Crispy chicken cutlet bowl *Make it a Sammy I had the omelette which was nice and fluffy with just the right amount of goat cheese. I could have gone for just a bit more mushroom. There is no mushrooms inside the omelette, just 2 of top. I chose the side of fruit which was pineapple and grapes. The downfall of Pinky's is the haze of smoke throughout the restaurant. It was pretty unfortunate but not so bad that it was a dealbreaker. Being in the heart of Scott's Addition, the parking is all on the street so it might take you a minute to find a spot and walk a block.

The was fine but not fabulous; definitely not worth $150 for a dinner for two. So sorry....

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.

Friendly and prompt service. Great outdoor seating area. Decent menu. Risotto was a less rich and creamy than I expected. It was more of a vinegar taste which was not unpleasant, just not expected. The chicken sandwich and fries were tasty. Chicken was crunchy and flavorful. Fries were also tasty. The homemade reach was great as a dipping sauce. The star was the meatball appetizer. Meaty and flavored with a rich tomato sauce. Very impressive.

This restaurant was such a lucky find! Creative cocktails, welcoming fireplace setting outside, interesting and artistic food, and fantastic service. Ayanna, our server, had a broad knowledge of the dishes and was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Bonus: everything was gluten friendly and delicious!

Love this place! Had a delightful meal and everything was top notch, great. Portions for tapas were surprisingly large - we got the zucchini fritti, the crab risotto and braised lamb and there were plenty of leftovers, with a cheesecake and some insanely delicious house made chocolate-hazelnut ice cream for dessert. Our server was Nina and she took excellent care of us - funny, attentive but not over-bearing. Relaxed, modern atmosphere, perfect food and service. I don't live in Richmond but I hope someday I get to come back. Delicious meal, beautiful experience.

The best for Gluten free eating! I took my Midwest parents and they enjoyed everything too and since it was all gluten free, I got to try everyone's dish :) Meatballs are great, get the crostini to soak up the sauce. We even had the Octopus, which was so yummy! The staff is super awesome. My husband got a non-gluten-free drink and the waiter gave me a heads up not to drink it. But he put everything else in as gluten free with no extra charge. We went on a cold day, inside was nice and cozy. I am sure sitting outside in the summer will be great.

Great food!! Great atmosphere!! It's a happening place. The indoor is industrial so is load. The open kitchen can make it a bit smelly. The food was amazing! Our server was a doll. Thank you Maddie!!

We visited this cute cafe for lunch over Labor Day weekend. From the hostess to our super helpful server to the fantastic brunch menu, this place was a hit. I had the Serrano ham omelet which was complimented perfectly with manchego and a harissa aioli with a kick. My husband had the more traditional breakfast with over easy eggs and toast with ham. The coffee was lovely as well and they can offer you oat milk if you don't do dairy. I love that you can get a healthy side as well of either fruit or salad. I will definitely return!

Good was excellent...so many options! The white bean hummus had a nice spiciness to it. The pork belly BLT was terrific. Never had anything like that! We were out on the patio and it was very pleasant. Service was outstanding, water bottles were always attend to, and the specialty drinks were really tasty! We will be back!

Scrumptious food - we love a tapas style restaurant, so my family ordered almost everything on the menu and we ate every single bite. The food here is incredible, as well as the drinks! Service was awesome and they were so helpful with recommendations. Must tries are the Burrata, zucchini, and risotto!!

One of the best meals I've had in Virginia! When I planned a day trip to Richmond, I asked a few friends for restaurant suggestions and every single one of them included Pinky's on their list. Their picatta is truly to die for. One of the best chicken picattas Ive ever had and its a favorite of mine, in general. Their Caesar Salad is also super unique and delicious! Highly recommend trying both!

The food was beyond delicious! Everything was seasoned perfectly and flavorful. I would highly recommend the shaved ribeye Ras El hanout with the side salad. They put a twist on the caesar salad dressing and it was amazing!!

4.5 stars I've really enjoyed Pinkys everything I've been. Very attentive Service, appropriate timing between courses. Nice menu variety. Many gluten free and vegan options! My only real complaint is it is very loud inside, especially when they are full! Street parking, usually not an issue if you don't mind walking a block or two. What we tried: Zeppoles: Classic Italian pastry lightly fried and dusted with powdered sugar. served with fresh fruit with honeypeppercorn ricotta (V, GF, T) Seasonal Risotto: Butternut squash puree, roasted butternut squash, leeks, green onion, grilled carrots, aleppo pepper (VEGAN, GF) Serrano Ham Omlette: Asiago, manchego, harissa aioli*, chive, aleppo pepper (GF, P) Mimosa Coffee My rating rationale +1 Service +1 Food~Taste/flavor/quality +1 Presentation + .5 Atmosphere/vibe +1 Value

Was pleasantly surprised with this restaurant! All the food was absolutely delicious! Surface was top-notch, anytime I'm in the area. I will definitely come back. We truly enjoyed the asparagus!

Pinky's is a solid restaurant with a nice assortment of menu and drink choices. Good for all meals but I really enjoy their brunch. Great service and a pleasing layout. You'll be greeted immediately upon entering and the tables are spaced nicely and the seating is comfortable. A couple of negatives would be that parking could be tricky and the restaurant can get loud when crowded.

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.

I love Pinkys and went during RWR. I was a bit sad as I brought a friend who has never been to RVA and is Celiac. I told her how Pinkys is very safe and they have great options and a separate gluten free fryer. I must have misunderstood as I DMed to see when the RWR menu would start and I assumed 3pm when brunch was over. I ranted and raved and unfortunately the RWR wasn't being served until 5p. This didn't change the quality and great taste of the food. We ordered an appetizer, salad and our entrées. Everything was great and the vibes are always great. I still have yet to try brunch so that is next in order for me.

We were there on a beautiful night and sitting near the open windows was just glorious! The menu has lots of gluten-free items and they take dietary restrictions very seriously. When the server brought us the wrong bread, she did not charge us for the appetizer. The food was delicious! The watermelon and feta salad was the perfect combination of sweet and salty, crunchy and creamy. Cocktails were delicious!
