Group of 4….40 year age span. Great for families. Bowled, ate, drank, had a really nice time. Happy hour prices, for both food & drinks were excellent. Food (happy hour appetizers) was really good. Except for the sliders, which may or may not have been a meat product. Truly awful. Flatbreads & calamari were particularly tasty. Bowling alleys were fun, although pretty beat up. Would absolutely go back.

The environment is very likeable and the service is good. But I would like to complain about one of the receptionists at the front desk. I made a reservation for 2 hours in advance for my daughter's birthday and when I arrived at the front desk to pay, she told me to pay for one hour up front (but I told her I wanted to pay for two hours) and that if I wanted to add more time, I could always add more. I ended up trying to continue but they told me it was fully booked.

My experience last night for dinner at Pinstripes was so amazing that I had to leave a review. The manager Kasia and our server EL were so incredibly thoughtful and respectful making me absolutely wanting to go back again. The food was outstanding as well (100/100)

It’s not my first choice of places to go bowling. But it’s shocking how good the food is for a bowling alley. Got the Cajun ahi tuna with risotto. It was great the fish was fresh the risotto was creamy and delicious. I will be back to eat for sure.

It's a nice place to go on an intimate date or to hang out with friends. The food is good, the atmosphere is nice. The service is good.
Sure, here's a rewritten version of the review:"I absolutely adore Pinstripes located at 435 E Illinois. I've had the pleasure of indulging in their brunch four times now, twice just this month alone.The first visit was with my girlfriends, and yesterday, I went with my family. My go-to indulgences are the prime rib and waffles, although everything on the menu is simply delightful and well-enjoyed by everyone in our party.I'm eagerly looking forward to my next visit.J Ross

BEWARE. They charged me an auto gratuity and then pretended i had not already paid by leaving a space for the gratuity on the credit sign sheet. So if you leave a gratuity you are charged for two. Just no. Just say no to these types of establishment.

Amazing breakfast buffet!Try the maple-glazed Brussels sprouts, crispy bacon, custom omelets, pizza, or whatever you can imagine.Top it off with the fresh strawberries dipped in the chocolate fountain, a fresh, custom waffle prepared just for you, topped with berries and cream.David, the chef, was most helpful with my food allergy questions. We navigated the menu and I left totally stuffed and content with the many options.There's an option for bottomless mimosas, but I chose a single glass.The music was great, the ambiance was beautiful, clean and comfortable.The servers were welcoming, attentive, and made sure our plates were cleared after each round.Be sure to take pictures with the beautiful murals outside.We WILL be back. Maybe next time for bocce or bowling.
"Pinstripes" is a delightful blend of sophistication and fun, offering a unique experience that caters to both casual and upscale tastes. The venue boasts an impressive array of activities, including bowling lanes, bocce courts, and an inviting atmosphere for socializing and dining. The decor exudes a timeless charm with its classic pinstripe motif, creating an ambiance that is both elegant and welcoming. The food and drink selection is equally impressive, with a menu featuring gourmet pizzas, fresh salads, and handcrafted cocktails. Whether you're looking for a lively night out with friends or a refined dining experience, "Pinstripes" delivers on all fronts, making it a must-visit destination for any occasion.

We went there for an office get together and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was not over the top but it was delicious. The bowling alleys were good too. Great place to hang out with your buddies or plan an office event. The icing on the cake was hangers right by the couches for our jackets which I loved.

We had a great time here. We went on a Monday evening for bowling and dinner. We had eaten right before coming so we didn't get a chance to really try the menu as we liked but we shared a pizza and it was alright. Service was great. We will be returning.

A group of myself and 3 other people were using one lane, with 2 enpty lanes beside us. We were told we had to move to the other end of the 3 lanes because of another group that needed 2 lanes...although there were 2 beside us. The group ended up not even coming to the area we were in until after we left. This made absolute zero sense. Get a handle on your incompetent staff.
