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.

The food was incredible and the view of the river was beautiful. Will absolutely be coming back!

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).

Good food, enjoyed eating on the river. We shared the mezze plate and the pesto mushroom flatbread —all was delicious!

Octavian is a gem and great bar tender. We had the best time having a couple of drinks impromptu.

Loved sitting by the river! Service was great and the food was great as well. Fries came out hot and the build your own bowl ingredients tasted fresh as well. My only complaint was the chicken, it was a bit too salty for me and I did not care for the hummus. I would pick other ingredients if I were to come back to Chicago.

The food and mocktails were delicious. They offer indoor and outdoor dining. We chose dining. The doors to the outdoor remained open so there were lots of flies. There were also three tables near us where diners had left but the tables hadn't been cleaned. I asked our server if they could be cleaned to help with the flies.

Food and ambience was good but there was only one server for the whole restaurant when we were there. It took a while to order a second round of drinks.

Marisa Guerrero

Visually the food looked great but tasted just OK. Our sever was just OK. She never introduced herself nd barley checked on us. I felt for the service and quality of food it was overpriced and you're basically paying to sit on the river.

Kyoto St.

We had a good meal, and the waiter’s a nice guy.

The only problem was dirty restroom, where there were two unusable clogged stalls.

I hope for improvement.

Thanks

Food was okay for Indian taste buds, as less spicy. But ambience was good.
