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
I said, "WHERE IS MY BREAD!" – Well if you have the stomach of an eighty year old then this is the place for you. I was super excited for my dinner at Pumpkin but now I'm super sick! Not that the food wasn't pretty good, the Pumpkin experience was bland bland bland... The service was numbing and the portions of each dish was nonexisting. A huge white bowl contained my small lil entree that depressed and amused me. Laughter followed shortly after for the measly entrees wouldn't satisfy a three year old. If it wasn't for the v... read more
too much $ for small little pumpkin – I went for dinner last night and felt while the atmosphere is tempting from the street it was not at all what i expected. I felt the PRICES are a bit out of control, there are many established byobs in the area with much higher quality food for almost 7 to 10$ cheaper per plate, like on 20th and spruce, anyway the wait staff had a bit of pretention about them, even though they tried very hard to be relaxed and when your in such a small space all the details matter, this was a large one. ... read more
Great BYO – Pros-The atmosphere is intimate and relaxing (just the right amount of lighting). The size is great because it doesn't get that "roar" of too many people that you get in some BYOs. I am not a big seafood person and there is a lot of seafood on the menu -but I always find something I love on the ever changing menu. The duck dishes are to die for and dessert is a highlight. The waitstaff are very friendly, accomidating and knowledgable. Cons- Not big enough for large parties (over 6). The portions are small and it ... read more
