Visited for a team lunch and appreciated the spacious layout—perfect for weekday conversations since it wasn’t too crowded. The food was decent, though not a place I’d visit just for the menu. The venue appeared clean, but something about the atmosphere felt slightly off. Tip: use the upstairs restrooms. The first-floor family restroom is shared and didn’t feel very hygienic.

I've been to Pinstripes several times over the last few years and enjoyed each experience. The staff is attentive and responsive, the food is good and plentiful, and there are often themes and specials. They also offer bowling and bocce, although you want to reserve in advance, in case it is a busy day.

I went there to celebrate a friend's upcoming Birthday, it was my first time, it was a group of us, the atmosphere was ok, as we were there for Brunch, I had a Lemon Martini it was just ok, I had an mto Omelet,Fried Potatoes,very good, Spinach Salad, Breakfast Pizza it was so good! I believe there is a 2-hour limit when dining.I just expected more of a selection of food.

Went for a team outing and had a great time! The venue is really nice and I particularly appreciated that every area was its own little vibe (the restaurant, the bar, the patio, bowling, etc.) Jose was our server for the evening and he was top notch! Super attentive, thoughtful, and pleasant personality. The only reason I’m rating a four is because there were no pizzas or flatbreads available and the soft drinks were a little flat. Definitely willing to give it another try soon!

Spent an afternoon bowling with family over the Christmas holidays. Overall, we had a great time. While I’m no bowling expert, the lane we were assigned seemed to have an odd slope. The fountain drinks were a bit watered down, but the truffle fries were delicious.

We missed the window to reserve for Father's Day Buffet Brunch here at Pinstripes in Rockville; but we still went there for a regular dinner. We chose a time in between the lunch and actual evening dinner crowds, but we were surprised that many families and groups had the same idea. It was our first time here, and we liked the huge place. It definitely didn't feel cramped in there. We knew they had a bowling area and patio seating (we didn't check those); we sat inside. The first thing that we noticed was the dirty floor. But we understood that they just got over the sold-out Father's Day Buffet Brunch crowd, so they probably just had a bit more foot (and spillage) traffic than usual. Pinstripes definitely gave a casual, unpretentious vibe, which was good for family and big group camaraderie. They had a two-hour parking area adjacent to the restaurant block, which was free yesterday (not sure about other days). The food was good, not extraordinary, but flavorful enough. We had appetizers, which included Crispy Calamari, that came in a plate big enough for us to note that it looked only half-full. We totally enjoyed the Tenderloin Sliders. The Pesto Focaccia bread was good. It was fluffier than regular crusty focaccia. For drinks, we had Sauvignon Blanc and Ginger Rose (mocktail). The entrées proved appetizing. We ordered the open-faced grilled salmon sandwich, the gnocchi with vodka sauce, their "famous" prime rib dip sandwich (very good!), and the chicken & goat cheese family platter. We were deep in conversation while eating and didn't notice anything was amiss until after one of us took a portion of the chicken & goat cheese pasta. Well, the pasta and goat cheese checked out fine, but where was the chicken? We thought, "Maybe they used chicken broth?" But we did ask the server, the courteous "Juliana" with the winsome smile. She went to seek out her manager, who came back with her. After hearing the situation, the affable Manager "Jessie" (without hesitation) made a proactive decision that, actually, turned the tides in Pinstripes' favor. Instead of us departing the place vowing not to return again (because leaving out the MAIN ingredient and serving a "dry" dish was a BIG omission), we thought that one crew member's (big) mistake wasn't everyone's burden to carry... not when they have personnel who KNEW what to do to appease disappointed customers. So yes, they may not have deserved a 5-star rating from us, but we would be willing to go back another day._//

Went here for Mother’s Day brunch. We had a lovely time and the place had really outdone itself. The only thing I would say was, they got overwhelmingly busy on their Mother’s Day brunch which means food was scarce in some cases and service was a little strained. But still great nonetheless given it was very busy. It’s personally one of my favorite places since I’ve been there more than twice hosting professional events and also for personal dining. Each time I’ve been met with professionalism and hospitality. And it’s just a cool spot for hanging out and spending a chill afternoon at the bowling alley.

Very nice with downstairs restaurant and bar, bocce ball, upstairs bowling alley and private party rooms, and outside patio. Food was good but pricey. I recommend going during happy hour for their limited menu. Service wasn’t the greatest in the bowling alley as our server disappeared but that was her fault and not the venue. Food and drink too long to get to us without communication as to why. But the sliders, calamari, truffle fries, and chicken bbq pizza were delicious. The alley is nice but the couches need some updating.

My niece's college graduation celebration was seamless during the brunch time we reserved. The food was beyond delicious and the servers were very attentive. The place is immaculate and the atmosphere is a very friendly. Everything about my experience was five star.

Team off sites are about coming together, doing something as a team while talking. Laughing and just having a good time. That's what Pinstripes provides; especially after COVID. Our team ordered food ahead of time to ensure we had a great spread and variety of choices from Pinstripes for the evening, accommodating dietary restrictions while having (not always healthy) but yummy options available to everyone. I don't remember how many lanes we took over, but I know it was more than four. I guess the hardest part is splitting and picking teams and who will go first vs. last. (LOL) Now that's funny! The staff at Pinstripes was friendly and ensured prompt service. They checked in throughout our time there to make sure we had everything we needed. If you are looking for a group activity - be it your work colleagues, a birthday celebration (old or young) or just a night out with family or friends, I would recommend Pinstripes as a cool contender for your vote!!

Positives - The food from the presentation to the taste was the highlight of the experience. The seating was comfortable, and the ambiance was also very warm and cozy. Negatives - Service was completely lackluster and it completely killed the dining experience for us. It started with the apps being served to our table without us having utensils, napkins, or plates. We had to look for a server that wasn't our server to help us. The small plates provided to my wife were dirty, and even when she asked for a new plate, the second plate was dirty as well. She just ended up having to share a plate with one of our kids. Then when it was time for the entrées to be served, one of my daughters' pastas had a meatball in it even though she ordered it without it, and my son's cheese pizza didn't arrive with the rest of the orders. We were told not to worry since the price of the pasta was the same with or without a meatball by the server, which we knew wasn't the case as the menu clearly stated an up-charge for the meatball. We were told the cheese pizza was a kitchen error, and my son didn't receive his food until I was almost done with my entrée. Then the person bussing the tables came by and eagerly wanted to clear and take away the plates of my wife and me. We were fine with him taking the plates, but he cleared our utensils as well without providing us with a clean one to finish our sides. Then the cherry on top was when we ordered my kids' desserts, we asked if any of the items on the kids' menu had nuts as we have an allergy. The server said no, so we ordered 2 kids' sundaes and one brownie. The 2 sundaes came out without error, but the server then returned to the table saying the brownie did have nuts in it. My daughter's switcher her order to a cookie, and then a few mins later, she returned again to tell her that the cookie had nuts as well, lol. At that point, she just settled with the sundae even though it wasn't what she wanted. In all this mess of a dinner service, not once did a manager visit the table to apologize and try to see what went wrong. Nor were we offered any options to accommodate my daughter's nut allergy. The server clearly didn't know the menu well enough to be serving it. When the check came, we did appreciate that they dropped all the kids' meals from the final bill, but in my mind, the lack of accountability and acknowledgment of the service issue just doesn't give me confidence that the next experience will be any better. We really wanted to love this place and hope we can give it another chance for them to prove this experience wrong. Summary * Food Quality: The food was delicious. * Service Issues: The service was poor, with multiple mistakes and a lack of attention to detail. * Allergy Concerns: The server initially stated that the kids' menu items were nut-free, but later found that two items contained nuts. The restaurant failed to accommodate daughter's nut allergy. * Service Issue: The server lacked knowledge of the menu and no manager apologized or addressed the service problems.

First off, this is a bowling alley with a hip vibe. It's still a bowling alley and the laws of physics apply. It's not a fine dining experience and thus the three . High point is they had easy accessfor my wheelchair bound companion.. That was nice. They are a bit understaffed. Food and bev is a B. Better than average bowling alley.

We really loved the filet and Caesar salad dinner tonite. A good time was had by all. Love the ambiance and bar area. And fun games

Great place in a nice area to explore and enjoy beautiful ambiance. I came here yesterday to celebrate with a Veteran friend (they offer free meals to Vets!), and we had a wonderful experience. The service was efficient, and all servers were very personable. We were seated immediately and enjoyed the aesthetically pleasing atmosphere, while sipping on our respective cocktails. I ordered the Blueberry Mash and the Tuscan Sangrio, both very tasty the perfect blend of sweet and smooth. As an appetizer we enjoyed the calamari it was cooked to perfection, though I would have loved an Asian sweet chili sauce as opposed to the marinara sauce that it was paired with, and I ordered the Chicken avocado club sandwich which was very tasty and came with a side of fries. All in all, a great experience--excited to come back to the area and explore to nearby shops!

Careful with online reservation. I tried to book bowling and somehow it reserved brunch. We got there and it was completely packed and my young son was very disappointed. Never coming back.

I organized an event for the office on a Wednesday night in September. I thought the process to do so was very easy, Bezi the catering or event manager was great to work with. I thought their food options were great and they were really delicious! We used the patio room that does NOT have any A/C or anything- and of course it rained on our day so people that were going between the bowling lanes and the room were getting wet- I wish they would put some kind of awning in between for that exact reason! I really liked the staff- they were all over things and very helpful. I have also been here for happy hour and I always think the food is good. I would highly recommend use Pinstripes for events- they were great!

Located at Pike & Rose with 2 hour free garage or surface parking. I've been here many times on dates, happy hours with friends at the roof top, and most recently a birthday dinner with friends tonight. The ambiance is nice, low-lit and intimate, a nice vibe to unwind over drinks or a meal. I've played some bowling and bocce upstairs and that's always a nice way to continue the night and have some fun. The service has been great each time I've been here as well. Tonight, the waiter also joked with us and despite asking some questions and making some requests, he was amazing in trying to accommodate. The food was good, but not great. We had some flatbreads to share (margherita, chicken & avocado club, and ultimate veggie), my favorite was probably the margherita. The buffalo cauliflower was also good. I was hesitant to order the Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl at a "bowling alley" restaurant and I was right... it lacked flavor and some texture like some crunchies the fast food poke bowl places add. The avocado would've been better chopped up and seasoned a bit. The gnocchi was probably my favorite and the rest was average. The drinks were good, but honestly the presentation could've been better. Service I'll give a 4.5, ambiance a 4, and food a 3. Overall probably a 3.5 with food having heavier weight, but I'll round up because the vibe was good and I've always had a good time here!

Visited for happy hour and it was amazing! The food was phenomenal; everything we ordered was delicious including the sweet chili wings, calamari, and brussel sprouts. The house white wine was very good as well. Loved sitting on the rooftop outside because we had a beautiful day and the tables had umbrellas to cover. The service was a bit slow but friendly.

Yelp
This review is solely for a private event we attended several weeks back. Pinstripes catered the entire event with small bites and sweets downstairs, fresh pasta station upstairs, and hot dishes in the open banquet area. Food: everything was delicious, especially the chicken and beef on the stick and steak sliders. Pasta station offered all the essential ingredients for pasta making, simple but good enough. Drinks: open bars, for both upstairs and downstairs, with additional wine & beers stations . Service: efficient. Given the number of attendees they had that night, with long lines at serving stations, they managed to take people's orders based on memory and got everyone took care of. Atmosphere: fun and lively. One of the bowling lane was down even after they attempted to repair it was still no use. Outside of that, mostly was good. We will definitely be back for more fun and to enjoy the beautiful outdoor areas when weather gets warmer. Highly recommend by @winedinenvacay

You must go for brunch! They have an all you can eat and drink brunch on Saturday and Sunday and honestly, it's one of the best deals in the area with such good quality. The bottomless mimosa or Aperol spritz is $25 and the brunch buffet is $35. The food was very tasty. They had an Omelette station, they had prime rib, waffles, lox station plus more! Everything I had was 10/10. The service was also very prompt! We never had an empty carafe. The downstairs where the buffet is located is really cute with a nice upscale casual vibe. The upstairs is where bocce ball and bowling are located.

Hello ! Was there yesterday for bowling with my niece. We made our reservation and were seated as soon as our space was available. Service was AMAZING AGAIN! I even ran into our previous server from years ago and reminded him how wonderful he was. He continued to be super sweet, polite and helpful. The reason why I'm giving it a 2 star rating this time is something I discovered when I got home and it's unacceptable. We ordered our food while there, I ordered from the kids menu for my niece which has a great price of $11 !! In includes bread with marinara, an option of noodles, pizza and other items as an entree and a dessert. She didn't finish her food so we asked for a box. Upon opening the leftovers we discovered that the bread HAD MOLD !!!!! I kept looking at it, though could it be parsley ?? NO IT IS MOLD. I've added a picture. PLEASE patrons be careful with what you serve. There were so many kids eating there that day and I'd hate for them to have eaten moldy bread. So disappointed. I love pinstripes and have had great experiences there, but this just seems very careless. How did this happen? I'd love to go back but now I'm worried. I hope this gets addressed and it never happens again.

"Everyone was super friendly and accommodating from the moment two arrived. We arrived 30 min early and we were seated in the waiting area. When we did go to the bowling lane the staff quickly sat us and gave us a menu. The food was warm and tasty and good proportion. The area for eating was separate from the lanes which I appreciated. The staff kept us refilled on beverages and food. The shoes were clean and the vibe was family friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend to all."

Great place to go for a friends dinner! I have been here twice and their food quality is definitely a hit or miss. They have good options on their menu for apps and dinner. When I sampled the white wine I was not too impressed. The service is nice, but they can be a little slow.

Went to brunch yesterday. It was good but I definitely recommend getting there earlier rather than later because the food will be fresher. The breakfast pizzas are a unique touch. Omelette bar was my favorite.

I've been to pinstripes a few times now but this was my first experience on their rooftop! - lovely view and setup. The weather was perfect for sitting outside and felt like a great scene for a variety of ages/occasions. I got the chicken & waffles - 9/10 the waffles were fluffy and the syrup + cream on the side really added to a great taste. Wasn't the biggest fan of the hot sauce flavor used on the chicken but it was small enough to avoid. Really loved this dish overall. My friend got the steak and eggs and let me try a bit.. the steak had a savory flavor but was a bit too much fat. Potatoes had a nice honey taste to them and the egg was just right. Drink of choice, mimosas! You can never go wrong with them! Our server was kind and checked in a few times with us. Additionally another server and a manager popped in quickly when he realized my friend didn't have the correct knife for her steak. Good catch! Overall great brunch spot with views and kind + quick service.

Pretty awesome spot. A few coworkers and I stopped by Pinstripes to have a mini TGIF happy hour. From my observations, everyone was pretty happy with the quality of our food and beverages. Personally, I stuck with liquid refreshments in the form of the paloma margarita, which was absolutely amazing. While the food and beverages were great, I have to give the service an A+++. Our servers never left us waiting for anything. Also, one server went out of his way to secure an extra seat for our table. I definitely will return for another paloma margarita (or three) and a round of bocce.

I've been a total of two times and both experiences were amazing! The first time was an endless brunch experience over a weekend and this recent time was for a birthday celebration on the roof top. They have great deals for each day of the week on alcoholic beverages (such as $6 whiskey wednesdays). I ended up ordering a mock tail of the blueberry mash ($15 with alcohol and $11 without). It was refreshing and the perfect summer drink. As for the menu the bruschetta looks delicious, but pinstripes is definitely known for their pizza. I went with the avocado club on a flatbread and it was definitely a 4/5 ranking. I wish there was some arugula or peppers added in as it was definitely a lighter entree for me. Service was decent. It was a bit confusing as a female waitress took our orders but a male waiter came to serve us the rest of the night and we never saw the waitress again. As for the atmosphere, it is definitely stunning. I really enjoyed the rooftop much more than in door dining but it's well decorated too.

Pinstripes is fabulous!!! We went for brunch on a Saturday and The food was delicious!! There was such a huge variety!! My faves were the sausage, crispy potatoes and Brussels sprouts. My bestie had the steak and omelettes and she said the waffles were also delicious. The bottomless mimosas were great, the flavor was more of a Rosé but on a sweeter side. Dessert was really good too!! Our server was André and he was attentive and helpful. The restaurant was beautiful and there were quite a few parties there. We had a great time!!!

The moment you walk in, this place is buzzing. Brunch is very huge here from 11:00 am to 3 pm with a wide range of hot and cold food items to select from. Service is great, especially during brunch time. Replenishes are well taken care of. Heading upstairs takes you to additional seating and heading to the outside patio, which is quite large and accommodating to handle large groups/ individuals. Their live music will keep you stimulated while you eat, and for additional entertainment with family or friends, you can also play habatichi both inside or on the patio. I also want to point out that there are outside seating upon entering the restaurant. I am definitely returning to enter the deliciousness served during brunch. I recommend this venue.

There's a Pinstripes in California so I made sure to visit this location while visiting family in Maryland. It was wonderful as expected! We had a reservation for 9 people and they had a nice table set up for us. Menu is varied and has something for everyone. All good was delicious! The super salad is my favorite but we also enjoyed the pizza, burgers, flatbread, prime rib sandwich and soup. Pinstripes is a consistently great experience and I highly recommend. Parking is easy because of the lot. Service is excellent.

The restaurant is in Pike and Rose and has decent food. The super food Salad was delicious with a good mix of greens, grain, fruit, candied nuts, and avocado. I added the chicken which made it an adequate portion for dinner. The brownie and gelato was so yummy, being the perfect end to dinner. The reason the restaurant only gets 3 stars is because the service was a bit lacking. The server messed up our drink order. We wanted a bottle of wine split into 8 glasses, but he started to bring us 8 full glasses of wine. Then some of us ordered coffee and only the regular coffee came out. We had to ask where our decaf coffee was and only when we asked did they tell us that they had to brew it so that is why it took longer. At least the restaurant was relatively quiet so everyone in our party could talk to each other. I've had better service at this restaurant in the past with no mixed up orders or slow service and would recommend happy hour, but the service this time was a bit lacking. I'll update if I come back and the service improves.

Came here for a work luncheon and ordered the Roasted Turkey Cobb Salad which was delicious. Not sure what type or dressing was used but it was light and mixed so well. I got parmesan cheese instead of the gorgonzola that it comes with. One of my co-worker ordered the Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich and it was huge! Came out in a big brioche bun and paired with parmesan fries. She said it was very tasty. Someone else ordered the Sweet Chili Glazed Chicken Wings and I had the chance to try one. It was so well battered and the crisp skin tasted airy and very flavorful. The service was great. Our server was so attentive and checked in on us multiple times. Pinstripes definitely gives off the feel of an upscale bar/ hang out spot. Would definitely recommend and come back to try their other menu items!

Very much enjoyed an Fridays happy hour here ... Great good and prices when doing happy hour, but pretty hefty $$$ beyond that. Many spaces for seating - inside and out. Bowling alley is option but ding dang dilly - it is about the highest priced I have ever seen. The food and drink for a m-f happy hour -- that is what will bring me back.

We had two events at Pinstripes during a wedding weekend and they were both great! Food, fun, staff all contributed to a great time! A special shout out to Selin Sik for all her help in planning and preparing for a great Rehearsal dinner. Selin was very helpful, professional accommodating and kind! Thank you Selin and Pinstripes!!

My coworkers and I love coming her for happy hour or even for a team building activity like bocce. Recently we had a happy hour on a Wednesday and to our surprise it was actually Whiskey Wednesday. They had a wide assortment of drink specials. I ordered the Whiskey Sour which had orange marmalade (so delicious) and then I requested a Whiskey Smash (heaven). I also had the meatballs and polenta and the polenta had a hole corn pieces. It was a delicious comfort meal for a cold day. If you order the Brussels sprouts know they are tasty but the chili oil is also very much prevalent and so they are spicy.

This place is awful and I will not be returning. Our waiter seemed too busy to ever come back. On the rare moments he did, he got our orders wrong. The food was cold when it did arrive. The lobster Mac and cheese was dry and flavorless. The pizza was more like a breadstick with cheese and sauce, equivalent to what you'd find at Little Caesar's. On top of that, the 3 in our party that did get the lobster Mac and cheese, ALL have stomach pains currently. There's zero value for money here and it's crystal clear that all you pay for here is the ambiance which is average at best. Typical DMV bourgeois spot that focuses on the aesthetics rather than the food and service. I can think of a multitude of establishments that are considered "holes in the wall" with TEN TIMES BETTER food and service. Go here to try it if you must but I'm glad I tried it, if only to cross it off my list. Never again.

Finally made it back to Pinstripes for lunch today. My Mom had the Burger with Parmesan Fries and it was delicious. I had the lunch combo so I got the Turkey Cobb Salad and the Lobster Flatbread. The portions were excellent and the salad was super fresh and tasty but the flatbread was fabulous. I will definitely have that again next time I go back. The manager walked around to every table checking on everyone which was super profesh and he seemed to recognize and chat with repeat diners. Love this place!

Birthday dinner with family - good times - but enjoy what you can and lower your expectations. It will end better. We made a reservation for eight folks, and with the rain, the greeter took our heads up call that we were running late. We were seated quickly upon arrival and our server, Sofie, took good care of us. Ambiance was good. She got us our waters, took our drinks orders and gave us the appropriate time to ponder what we wanted off the menu. I enjoyed the Rocco Pinot Grigio. I enjoyed the crispy buffalo cauliflower. I was confident they would get my kid's pepperoni pizza right. My daughter totally devoured the mac and cheese. The tomato brushetta was okay, the presentation was nice, but the taste was less than impressive. Same for the pigs and blankets... c'mon Pinstripes, you're better than this. The meatball on the meatballs & polenta, but I prefer my polenta to be grounded better. I hate pieces of corn that distract me from the taste. Also, consider the use of sauce and less use of melted mozzarella (?). The potential of this appetizer was not met. I had the lobster mac. It was creamy, there was plenty of lobster, but it was lacking some flavor. Also, compared to the other dishes, it was rather small. My cousin ordered the delectable wings, and was suprised by the taste. She commented that it tasted like buffalo chicken wings, despite the promised flavors of balsamic bbq, sweet chili glaze, and spicy calabrese. Liz ordered the chicken and goat cheese, and aside from being a good sized portion, and she enjoyed it. Sofie was very gracious in getting me some birthday attention by getting me a brownie and vanilla ice cream sundae. It was more than enough for me, and my daughter snuck about half of it behind my back. She really enjoyed it. Because of the service and the ambiance, I'd come back to try it again. Maybe roll a couple of balls at some pins.

I recently went to a birthday party at Pinstripes, and we rented out the patio area, opting for a buffet-style meal. The venue itself has a cool vibe, perfect for hosting events. While the service did leave a bit to be desired, I must commend the staff for their accommodation. They made sure our party had everything we needed and were responsive to our requests. The buffet-style food was decent, and the variety of options pleased our guests. Despite minor service hiccups, Pinstripes offers a great space for hosting gatherings and parties. The ambiance and versatility of the venue make it a cool spot for memorable celebrations.

If you are at Pike and Rose and looking for a good lunch, I would recommend Pinstripes. Good Italian food. I do not drink but they have a large selection of wine, beer, and cocktails. I had a cheese burger with fries. The fries are so good. I also had the lobster bisc. It is so creamy good. We had good service and were able to be seated quickly. The ambiance is nice and cancel. They also have bowling upstairs and Bocce ball downstairs. This gives you an opportunity to do something fun after or before eating.

I would come back for Sunday Brunch buffet but with this in mind: - you have to add your own salt & pepper after getting your omelette from omelette station - the rooftop patio is idea, but not for brunch. They keep the food on the lower level so you'd have to go up and down between the floors Recommend: - crispy potatoes aren't very crispy but they're good - brussel sprouts were really good, get more - the chocolate chip cookie was hard but good - omelette & waffle stations - roast beef - mixing the cranberry with the regular orange juice mimosa - caramelized Cheesecake - all the fruit was fresh, didn't taste anything rotten or even bruised - biscuit (think it goes with the Grady to make biscuits & gravy, but I left the gravy) Skip: - skip the brownies, they were hard - granola with fresh fruit & yogurt, yogurt was too thick for me Before arriving I read that they have a private parking lot. They don't. The lot right around the corner is small and fills up quickly. But there's a multilevel garage on the other side of the dog park.

Great atmosphere and something for everyone. They've taken a sport that used to be played in dingy bowling alleys and elevated it. Not cheap by any means, but it makes for a great date night or night out with friends. I was shocked at the size of the private dining space and this location has enough room to host a wedding (which they do)! The drinks are a bit on the sweet side, but the food is good and most items are great to share. They didn't nail it the first time I was there, but blew me away on a subsequent visit. Everyone has an off night and glad I gave them a second chance!

I went bowling with my friends a few weeks ago and the place was pretty clean. Service was great. Food was pretty good. Bowling shoes were stacked neatly for people to take as they walked into the alleys.

The first time I had a bad experience but decided to give it a second chance and let me tell you my compliments to Oscar the bartender, that man really knows his job compared to the other slow servers He was very Helpful and Attentive! My friend and I ordered pasta and it was very flavorful. We will definitely be back and request Oscar as our server.

I had so much fun at Pinstripes! I came here for a work-sponsored bowling social event. First impression: This place is huge! There is so much space. They have a large downstairs restaurant, a bar upstairs, a beautiful patio, and a whole bowling alley. The place is also very swanky /chic. People were dressed up like they were going out on the town. Our office had four bowling lanes reserved, which was perfect. We had a whole spread of hot food, including calamari, meatballs, polenta, brussel sprouts, sliders, wings and fries. The drinks were very yummy. I tried a margarita and blueberry mash. Highlight of the food: the brussel sprouts! The Oreo gelato was also amazing! Bowling was a ton of fun! We had a blast. The service was helpful. The area was very clean. I would come back again for another night of bowling and food!

Awful event experience. Do not host your event here unless you want to be underwhelmed and overcharged. The venue is run down and poorly maintained for as much as it costs. There was severe water damage to the floor in the ballroom and nearly every seat had stains on it. Even before the event we were hit with extreme minimum spend levels because our party ended up being smaller than we'd anticipated, and after promising to make it work, they blasted my credit card with a surprise $600 the day after the event. That's after they failed to deliver what was promised, dumb things like $100 for a microphone that wasn't provided, food served as a buffet instead of family style, etc. What's worse? The pasta was super bland and the salmon was severely overcooked. Take your business elsewhere.

My best friend insisted on meeting here for dinner. I think he was more excited about the bowling and bocce, which I don't care for, but figured I'd go along with it, even though I was skeptical of the dinner menu from the Pinstripes website. We and our partners ended up not playing any games, and I was pleasantly surprised by the burrata and acorn squash salad that I ordered, and my partner loved his veggie flatbread. The salad was probably a bit on the small side for a meal all on its own, but it comes with a major hit of delicious burrata and a generous drizzling of olive oil and dots of balsamic vinegar. I saved half to take home, which I ate with a piece of bread, and it ended up being a very filling meal. My best friend got the chicken parmesan with fettuccine, which he really enjoyed and ate most of, it was a very generous portion. His wife got the same thing that I did and she was a bit befuddled because she was expecting more green in a salad - that's why you gotta look up the pictures on Yelp baby! At least I knew what was coming. The ambiance has a bit of a clubby, upscale feel, but also very family friendly. Not sure I'd return for a meal, but they have a great selection of local craft beers that I'd be willing to come back for.

Pinstripes rolled a gutter ball on our latest visit. On a not-very-busy evening, we counted 10 workers who walked past us without saying a word in the 30 minutes it took for someone to greet us once seated. Our cocktails at $15+ each spent an extra 15 minutes on the bar before someone decided to deliver them to us. It all seemed like a Bar Rescue episode. Food being delivered to wrong tables, waiters bringing plates but no food.. empty apologies. Our bill, however remained full!

Great place to have fun! Took the family and played games. Food was excellent and the service staff make you feel like family. Tried many dishes and their lobster pizza and Italian dishes are just amazing! See you next time.

Pinstripes stands as the ultimate hub for bowling, bocce, and delectable cuisine in North Bethesda. Boasting a stylish ambiance and a vibrant atmosphere, the venue is impeccably clean and well-maintained. Its extensive food and beverage offerings allow guests to savor delightful Italian/American dishes and signature cocktails while enjoying the games. The welcoming staff escorted us to our lane and offered a clear explanation of the process. Throughout our bowling session, attentive servers were readily available. Our server, Herberto, exemplified efficiency and kindness, ensuring our experience remained engaging. Although we didn't explore much of the menu due to our prior commitments, we indulged in a great wine selection and sampled some delightful small sides. This review primarily focuses on the bowling experience and the exceptional customer service provided. I'm eagerly looking forward to returning and exploring their brunch, lunch, and dinner menus.

Went here a couple of times for lunch and brunch and it did not disappoint. Busy restaurant but delicious food servings and portions.

If I were writing this review based on the food and the bottomless mimosas alone, or even our server, it would easily be a 5 star review, but sadly that's not the case. My friend and I made reservations for a Sunday brunch and arrived on time. We were seated, placed our bottomless mimosa orders, and got up to retrieve our plates for the Sunday brunch buffet selections. When we sat down I noticed the large party next to us had a dog inside the restaurant. It barked, then the guests picked it up. I was immediately annoyed and confused. Full disclosure, I'm not a dog lover, especially in a restaurant where EVERYONE is retrieving their food with the same tongs from the various food stations. Those same customers were petting and passing this dog around and then getting up to get plates of food. It's unsanitary! They had outside seating, yet they were seated inside. Why was this allowed? I immediately asked for the manger so we could be moved. The manager claimed they were fully booked that morning and we couldn't be moved. He also mentioned that the party was there for 1 hour 1/2, and they would be leaving in 30 minutes. LIES! Umm, they were there for another 2 hours and several tables were vacant for that same amount of time. We could've easily been moved. When the manager first came to our table, he asked where was the dog and we told him. Then I asked if this was normal and if they allowed animals in their restaurant. He proceeded to inform me that it was a service dog. So if he all of a sudden knew it was a service dog, why did he come to the table as if he were ignorant about the situation? He literally acted like he never saw or knew the dog was in the restaurant, yet magically knew the dog was a service dog when I said something. I've personally never seen a service dog that didn't have a leash or was passed around the table like a bread basket. I'm fully aware about service animals and what their jobs consist of, but I still take the stance, if your customer isn't comfortable with their surroundings, something should be done by management. Some people are allergic to dogs or just don't want to be around them. Period! The manager failed us this day. He left me his business card and told us if we required anything further to let him know. Gee thanks, he was such a help during the brunch...NOT! I left the card on the table. Blah!
