Parking garbage, but charged 5$ per hour. That is sad. Maybe good for a date night. Will come back and try the food another time. Tuesdays are 2 fer. Bowling 15$ per person. Ouch. Parking, bowling, bocce, food and Drinks. Add up to an expensive date.

Came in Sunday afternoon after church for brunch and bowling. The parking is located in the garage connected to the building and it is priced by how long you stay. Pinstripe is on the first floor facing Kirby and we took the elevators down. They have a brunch buffet on Saturdays and Sundays for $30/person and the bowling was $20/per person/ hr. You do not have to pay extra to rent the shoes and they also give you socks! When we called to reserve the lane, we inquired about the brunch as well. The girl said that we could eat brunch while we bowl, we just had to get the food and bring it upstairs. We arrived around 12:40 and they escorted us to our lane and helped us get our shoes. The ladies were very nice at the check-in desk. The bowling area is upstairs and is actually kind of small, but luckily it wasn't busy when we arrived. They only have about 15 lanes and every two lanes share a table in between. It makes your bowling area very small to sit only 3-4 people on your side of the lane. I'm also not too crazy about sharing a table with other strangers. Keep in mind that your time starts as soon as you check-in. I noticed that because by the time we went upstairs, got our shoes on and set up our station, 10 minutes was already deducted from our time. I feel that is a little unfair to not let people get settled first and start the timer when you start your first game. Also for that same reason, Bowling first was actually a mistake. You loose your bowling time by going downstairs to get your plate and it was a hassle trying to bowl between every bite of food. We already wasted time going to get the food, so we couldn't eat in peace. We couldn't even finish our second game. If you want to take advantage of brunch and bowl, I recommend you eat first and then go upstairs. We would have waited until we finished bowling to eat, but the brunch is over early at 2pm and they clean up quick. Which is too early in my opinion when most brunches end around 3:00pm. Brunch would have been over by the time our hour was done, so we had no choice. Plus, the menu upstairs during brunch is very limited. Ultimately I wasn't happy that the staff gave that recommendation to eat while we bowled. The brunch food was actually delicious and I loved the wide selection of foods. They had a waffle station, omelet station, ham/prime rib carving station and a variety on the buffet line. I would have definitely had a better experience and enjoyed the food more if we sat to eat first. I didn't get to try everything at the buffet because of rushing to get back upstairs, and there were a few stations unattended. I couldn't wait for them to get back. I would want to come back to try the brunch again, but I know better for next time. Also Next time I'll have more time to take more videos and pics. I barely had time to do that so I didn't waste more of our bowl time.

Pinstripes is a more upscale bowling alley in the Houston area. It gets pretty popular on weekends and I was lucky to call and get a reservation as it wasn't showing on the website as available. (Pro tip) The biggest complaint I have is the disorganization/slow speed of the staff. The staff member who helped me didn't know how to process the gift cards as they had shown in the promotion and the other staff members looked to be overwhelmed with the guests coming in. I could tell that other guests were inpatient from waiting too. I got there within their grace period time but had to wait for them for an additional 7-8 minutes, taking away from my bowling time. Then we had to wait for that same person to escort us upstairs and choose the shoes. I think they could greatly benefit from better workflows and better trained staff. Once we got to the bowling area and started we didn't have any issues. Our waiter checked on us often but was super busy so we had to wait at times. The food we got was a mix- Their wings were delicious. We got 2 orders of sweet chili. 8/10 Their truffle fries were ok. 6/10 And their pizza was fresh but not that great. 4/10 From bowling for 2 hours for 4 people our total came to about 130$. And then the food (all I listed plus a Pepsi) was about $66.

Not big on bowling cuz i suck but this is the biggest and best alley. My job likes to come here and do happy hour and order party catering packages. All the food is good but I just experienced their brunch. Blew me away with the amount of options. So worth it! Definitely come hungry because the waffle bar, pastas , and more shall not be missed

I've earned my stripes, and I can pin that experience on Barbi and her friends dragging me here. Summary? If you want to go to a fancy place with multiple levels of stuff and play some pretty cool games for a pretty high price in a very trendy neighborhood, this is your place. We don't have the money for stuff like this, even though we just live down the road, but it's still really cool and a very innovative concept.

Okay, so we finally stopped by to check this place out. I'm giving them a 3 from my POV, but they are a solid 5 if you have kids. You can park in the attached garage and they will validate your ticket. There is also valet for $10. We walked around to the entrance and were quickly seated. The place is spacious, but tables are really close to one another inside. If you like your space you can sit in the patio. The Brunch buffet is served on the first floor and regular dinning and bowling is upstairs. The brunch buffet has an assortment of, just to name a few; salads, fruit cups, parfaits, pastas pizza, chicken tenders, baked chicken, bacon, sausage, biscuits, eggs, skillet potatoes, smoked salmon, croissants/bagels, omelette/waffle station and dessert table w/ chocolate fountain. Kids under 12 eat for $16, so again I say, a great option for kids. Lucky for us, we had my two little cousins. So it worked out. Enter freely they've been approved:)

Fun spot to bowl but you have to reserve as it gets busy. It looked like it had great food but we ate before. It had a nice outdoor patio for food and dining even if you go for just that and can wait for bowling. They also have bocce ball if that's your thing. I saw multiple private rooms as it looks like parties can be held so it's large for such events

I came on a Friday evening. Finding the place from the parking deck proved very difficult. Parking in the deck is validated by giving your phone number to the hostess. I believe it was $54 for two of us to bowl for an hour. I made a reservation for 9:15 and we were taken upstairs around that time. They were very limited in their sizes of bowling shoes. I'm a 7.5 and my closest options were a 9 (way too big) or a 6 (tight but I made it work). Some people were bowling in their own personal shoes due to this. Our waitress came after about 5 minutes and said there was a happy hour menu until 10 so she'd grab the menu. She came back 15 minutes later and said happy hour ended at 8 . We ordered and started playing. The balls are themed after pool table balls to indicate the weight which was a cute touch. About 20-30 minutes after ordering, or food came. I ordered the signature Chop salad with balsamic vinegar on the side and no wonton strips. I got the salad doused in dressing (unclear if balsamic vinegar as it was quite sweet) and there were strips. My friend got a pepperoni pizza which was pretty good. They turn on the lights right at 10 despite the fact that many people still had time left on their hour long play time (including us). Overall it was a bit of a disappointment between the shoes and service but it is nice to have a bowling alley right in the city

Went for a meeting. The room was definitely large enough to accommodate the few extra people who showed up (maybe 33 instead of 30), however they were not really able to accommodate those few extra guests. Seating. We had to go to the main dining area to get chairs to add to to our table set for 5 people. Silverware and plates. Our table was set with a dinner plate and a small salad plate and two forks, a knife and a spoon. Both myself and another guest at my table gave a plate and a fork to accommodate the two extra guests that we added to our table, because it took multiple times asking for plates and silverware to be brought. When extra silverware was finally brought, it was one fork, then two spoons, then a knife. Surprisingly, very piecemeal. They did bring extra plates and silverware when they brought out dessert. The food. Each table of five, or in our case seven, was brought three appetizers, a main entree of ten pieces of dark meat chicken, a huge serving of spiral mac and cheese, asparagus and a shared cheesecake dessert. Everything was served family style. So for our table of 7, we still spilt what was meant for 5. Since they did not make extra food, they were not able to bring out more to accommodate the additional people at our table which was surprising as I assume they have a kitchen at Pinstripes. No vegetarian entree was offered either. As far as the food, the salad was the best part of the dinner. The rest of the food was a bit underwhelming. Although, I did not leave hungry, I was not impressed with the food or service. The meeting room is next to the bocce courts which looked nice. The room was quiet and the A/V was good. The bowling lanes are down the hall. Neither were included in our experience, but both looked clean and like a nice activity. Parking is $10, but was validated for our meeting. The signage from the parking garage to get into Pinstripes is a bit confusing. There was a piece of white paper that said "enter Pinstripes here" taped onto the door to the stairs. There should have been another sign taped onto the next door, but there was no sign. So most of our party, walked down the stairs, went around the building, entered and then walked up another flight of stairs to get to the meeting room. I did ask and on the way out, the meeting room was literally on the same level as the parking garage through two sets of doors (one that was unmarked). For a meeting where an activity like bowling or bocce is part of team building, this might be a good place to go. For a dinner meeting only, I would look somewhere else.

I'm leaving 2 stars, because the food and drinks were great! Now onto the service... for my reserved birthday!! I paid $280+ ahead for my group's bowling experience and made reservations for both the bistro and bowling. Now I will admit, I was 30 min late to my bistro reservation. When i arrived, more than half my party was there waiting for their food and drinks. The server(s) never introduced themselves to me and we ended up placing our food order and having it brought to our lanes. The service was beyond slow, our tables were not pre-bussed, we had to flag down waitstaff to place orders and the icing on the cake (literally because it was my birthday) was I had to request plates, silverware and a knife to cut the cake (which the knife was dirty and we had to again, flag down waitstaff for a new one. On to the checks!! Obviously we were a bigger party (12 guests) and we moved from the bistro to the lanes. Instead of it being a smooth transition, we waited 30 minutes after our bowling experience to get all the checks together. There were double orders of drinks and food on tickets, and multiple tickets given to everyone instead of consolidating them onto one so everyone could have a total. On top of it all a 20% gratuity included. Please PLEASE P L E A S E!!! Train your staff, give groups and parties ONE server, and if possible have a manager greet larger groups. I would not recommend Pinstripes to anyone, but with the holidays coming up, I hope you all can get it together! (Photos for reference )

Came here on a Sunday afternoon for a friends birthday brunch. When you arrive you can either valet park for $10 or you can pay to park in the garage in which the price depends on how long you stay here (I believe 24 hours is approximately $10). We were able to get our parking validated at the host stand when we left. The restaurant is located on the bottom floor so you'll need to take the elevator elevator from the garage to the bottom level. On Sundays, they have a brunch buffet so it was an all you can eat situation. They had a variety of meals from pizza, pasta, bacon, eggs, veggies, salad fruit, waffles, omelette station, prime rib/ ham station and dessert station. Literally everything was good. The food was hot and fresh and they made sure to keep replenishing it throughout the afternoon. I was also very pleased with the customer service of everyone that I encountered. The servers, the chefs, the management team walking around, everyone was so pleasant! The price of the buffet is $30 per person but if you want to do the bottomless mimosas that's an extra $22/person so just an fyi. Afterwards we went bowling which was on the second level of the establishment. I'm the bowling ally is a little smaller compared to other bowling allys I've been too. Maybe about 16 lanes-ish (I could be wrong). It was cool, they played some music in the background and we had a server (Francesca who was super dope) in the event that you wanted to order food/drinks. All in all, this was a great restaurant to attend.

I don't know where to start. Eating at this restaurant was a complete disaster. The restaurant was almost full, and it took more than 30 minutes to take our order. Then the food arrived relatively quickly, but the waiter left us without cutlery for about 10 minutes. The food was already cold when I could start eating. The drinks arrived at the end of the meal, and I even had to ask for water. The pasta tasted like it came from a pot. I will definitely not return or recommend this place.

Coming towards the end of the brunch time, I will lead with saying I don't feel like I maximized on a chance to give an in depth review or receive peak service. I arrived for a 12:45 reservation on the patio. It did take about 15 minutes for a server to greet me, which was frustrating as I was staring at two who were staring at me from inside. When someone did greet us, it took about 10 minutes to make our sangrio Caraf. Upon attempting to order the second one, our server informed us they were out of a few ingredients, prompting us to order a different caraf. Our server was generous enough to bring us samples of the aperol spritz to try before in case we did not like it (it was good). For my entree, initially I ordered the lobster Mac and cheese, but upon taste it was super cheesy with no seasoning. Was not a fan. I opted for the meatballs and polenta as an alternative and was throughly satisfied by the flavor profile. Due to issues with drink availability, our server was able to discount some items to offset the inconvenience. I would like to visit again to try the buffet when it is fresher. The restaurant was packed upon arrival. We rotated between mimosa and the aperol spritz carafes.
