Great restaurant – Foodies will love this place, the menu changes daily and the food is spectacular. I go often because it is always good. The portions are normal size and you will leave satisfied but not stuffed. Dont forget to make a reservation.
Micrososcop.ic portions – Recently visited this place after hearing many positive things, but left fairly disappointed. Good-- very charming small space, which is intimate and romantic. Super friendly staff Bad -- smallest portions that I have seen outside of a 7 course tasting menu at Le Bec Fin. We both had an appetizer, entree and dessert and left hungry. Food was decent but not spectacular. restaurant is also on an "up and coming" block. The prices were also obnoxious given the tiny portions. There are so many better byo... read more
Now try the Deserts !!! – As I said; I go to Pumpkin fairly often. And what I said before still goes. But Now! Ian has a new and wonderful new chef in the kitchen who is apparently a Desert Head. And together they make even More magic. And they are deserts clearly prepared by a 'food guy': tastes, and textures, and colors all perfectly combined; 'layered' together. Yummy stuff and another excellent addition. Sadly, my favorite waitress left but there are two new ones that I like. Iona and Harriet. So anyway: Try The Deserts!
Great small BYOB – Was interested to see what this place would be like, considering it has some excellent reviews on here and also some terrible reviews. Overall, I enjoyed my time at Pumpkin. I went on a Friday night and found the restaurant to be full, but not cramped. Service was very good, although it was a little weird how the bread is brought over one piece at a time. Food was delicious, and although small on the portion size, I walked out of there full. Must have been the wine. Would recommend Pumpkin, but there are s... read more
Great Service, Great food... – I was at Pumpkin recently and after reading some reviews, it was exactly what I expected, but better. The waitress was excellent, she was comfortable and knowledgeable, and I have to say this is the first time that being vegan has not felt like a hassle. She was happy to accomodate and rather than getting the feeling like the Chefs were grumbling in the background, she made me feel like they enjoyed the challenge (although, it probably wouldve been smart to mention it in my reservation). The pr... read more
One of the best Byo's in the city – Pumpkin is always great. The food is always well done, with great care. Full of flavor, fantastic presentation, and interesting combinations. I recommend this place highly. As a regular, I am always given a amuse course, and the chefs are always willing to talk shop, whether it be food, ingredients, or wine. Now, since it seems many people lack BYOB etiquette, let me inform the masses. First, for the prices you pay and the quality you get, you cannot beat this restaurant, along with a few ... read more
Overall just OK – We have dined at Pumpkin three times. The food is very good, but also very OVERPRICED, especially for the portion. The first time we went the service was great. The second and third times, the service was just okay. We felt rushed like others have, even though there were several empty tables.
The rare magic of greatness. – I have eaten at Pumpkin literally dozens of times beginning almost at their original opening. I find them not only wonderful, but improving. The servers are good looking, pleasant, witty, and efficient. And the chefs are really excellent in a special way which has them consistently surprising me with their ability to top their prior excellent renderings. They are genuine and talented artists pairing ingredients, textures, colors, and flavors in unexpected and wonderful ways. I find it a rare ex... read more
You'll leave hungry, and you'll pay for it.... – My recommendation: eat before you go. We went for dinner last night. The menu is expensive for a BYO. Entrees were at least $23 and appetizers were $8-10. The price doesn't matter, but the portion size for the price DOES matter. The entrees are served in huge bowls, but the serving in the giant bowl is the size of a bevnap. When we got our entrees, we looked into our huge bowls, looked at each other, and burst out laughing, the portions were so small. The bevnap reference is n... read more
