The food was great, place is really nice. Truly mediterranean vibe. Fish tacos were great as well as Beignets! The friendly advice would be - increase portion of protein, 3 chevaps are not enough. But overall really nice place to eat healthy and delicious food!

We loved our meals and desserts! Our veggie pita was delicious. I'm not sure what the sauce was on the greens, but it was incredible. Excellent meal that left us full for hours.

We were trying to get away from fast food and buegers and by luck we found this place. Everything we had was delicious. The place is beautiful and the staff is so nice. We rounded a tasty dinner with amazing baklava. We'll definitely come back. Best option if you're in the navy pier area.

Great ambience. We had specialty bowls - Poseidon and Victory. Both were spectacular. Lovely Serbian Pinot that I was exited to try. Amazing salted caramel cheesecake for dessert. Our server, Pamela, was friendly and attentive. Will come again. Try it!!

Great food and drinks. Perfect location on the river for outdoor dining. Wonderful staff. This was the perfect dinner to end our Chicago Marathon adventure.

Pinched on the River has become a Chicago favorite. Right on the river with lovely dining spaces outdoors and inside. Every server I've had has been delightful and attentive. The Poseidon Bowl is a must have when I dine here! Oh and the fish tacos! I highly recommend this dining experience! You will thank me!

Try the Fish Taco, it's great! A light, healthy meal and sooo delicious. Sitting by the arm of the river, watching the boats, having a nuce chat with the host and the staff, and even -like me in this case- sitting there in your own, you don't feel lonely, it is nice and welcoming (even if I missed host Sheena).
