Pinched on the River

"Summertime in Chicago is all about Al Fresco, and having drinks and food and pinched on the river is a must! As the name implies this restaurant is right on the chicago river. The view is gorgeous and the food and drinks are heavenly. Although pinched by the river has a chic and elegant dining area with a big beautiful bar indoors for those cold winter days, summer time at Pinched On The River can't be beat. For drinks we tried the Mango Maria and the Watermelon Margarita. So refreshing! We sstart with the Mushroom Pasta Flatbread and the Mediterranean Fish Tacos for our appetizers. For our main entrees, we had the Poseidon Bowl (anazing!) and the Chicken Mushroom Pesto Pasta. The pesto was so good, I wanted more of it. The deserts were outstanding and enough for 2 people each. Sea salt caramel cheesecake (so decadent) and the Beignets Charcuterie, just like the ones we had in new orleans. Be sure to eat them warm. It's gorgeous here relaxing, and comfortable, has great food and drinks with exceptional service! What more could you ask for?"

"Phenomenal service and delicious food. I had my post graduation dinner here and we were blown away with the service. The location of the restaurant is great as well, if you get a chance to sit outside make sure to! Make sure to make dinner reservations!"

"Food was so fresh, homemade, with the perfect portioning of ingredients. Dined alfresco which was perfectly shaded with trees with a view overlooking the water. What a calming & inviting feng shui. Highly recommend their homemade beignet."
