Pinch Kitchen+Bar occupies a converted house in the Upper East Side, open for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch. The menu leans toward small plates with a focus on seafood and vegetables, rounded out by a handful of larger steak and chicken dishes.
Circular croquetas, spicy brussels sprouts, and a well-regarded burger are among the dishes that show up regularly. The format stays approachable rather than experimental — nothing designed to send anyone reaching for their phone to look something up.
The space keeps things relaxed, the kind of place where a dressed-down crowd fits in without a second thought.
