Went there for a company event. Served buffet style so I don't know the normal menu. We were in the upstairs bowling alley that had a well stocked private bar.

Good food but very expensive given the atmosphere with very noisy large groups.

This is a review only for the event side of things - NOT THE RESTAURANT.We had friendly service for our event but were very disappointed with a few things.- There was conflicting information and details coming from the event coordinating staff. After some back and forth they eventually held true to what they originally offered.- Food buffet was not ready until 1:20pm. It was supposed to be out by 1pm. (The events team later came back to us after the event, framing the situation as a favor saying they let us stay later past 4pm. But our food came out later, hence, we stayed later. We checked in with the onsite staff at the event and they allowed a later check out. This was more accommodation out of obligation than giving us grace.)- We had to look for a server to provide serving utensils for the buffet. - We had to look for a server to replenish buffet items several times.- The most disappointing experience we had was when the server(s) took all our food away. It was our understanding that Pinstripes will not pack it for us but we can bring our own containers to pack all the leftovers. This was even communicated and confirmed with the event coordinator, Angel, prior to the event in writing. We had family and guests that traveled a long way from NY, WA, OR, Sacramento, San Rafael, Tracy, San Pablo. We were anticipating feeding our guests for our after party gathering as there was still so much food left. We had our containers all ready when we were told the horrifying news that all our food was dumped. There was no notice or warning that they were collecting the food to dump. We had advised the staff of our intentions in advance... It was extremely upsetting. We had paid thousands of dollars for this service only for our food to be thrown away. The onsite manager said he spoke to Angel and conferred with everything stating that we were to take all the leftovers. All he said was sorry and gave me a few coupons to try to appease the horrible situation. We are looking to rectify this situation and a resolution for service that was NOT fully rendered. As of now the events team refuse to give us any compensation or credit.-Lastly, I called the staff the other day to let them know we may have left some items. The host said she would let management know and get back to me. I did not hear back.Overall, I would be wary of booking events as there were a lot of miscommunications on their end. The onsite event wait staff were all pleasant though.

I always have a great experience at Pinstripes. I go there at least once a week. Pablo, Brian, Andrew, Niki and Heidi always make sure the customer gets the best service. I give them 5 stars.

My family and I recently dined here and was pleasantly surprised by the exceptional service provided by our server Alfredo. Not only was he attentive to our needs as adults, but he also went above and beyond to ensure our kids were well. We were taken care of throughout the meal. From recommending kid-friendly menu options to engaging them in conversation, Alfredo truly made our dining experience enjoyable. His warmth and attentiveness added an extra layer of comfort to our meal, and we left feeling grateful for his outstanding service. I have only dined here once and the past and our experience wasn’t great.I’ve also hosted events anywhere from 40-1500 people through our company and this by far was the best experience. I hope that servers and hosts are compensated fairly here. Especially when you’re charged 20% fee for service and gratuity
