The most unique and eclectic Mediterranean inspired food with a pinch of this and a pinch of that. Just down the street from the bustle of Navy Pier, nestled between the beautiful Bennet Park and the Chicago River, is Pinched on the River. A unique and isolated place, away from the noise and rush of the street above.
Pinched on the River is the newest location for Pinched Restaurants and offers a heightened experience of Mediterranean inspired food. A full wine and craft beer bar welcomes weary travelers and the original flavors of Pinched Mediterranean are the cornerstone for the eclectic menu. A wise man once said, "dessert is better at the beginning of the meal".

We came here for dinner on a beautiful summer evening. Outdoor seating was great with lots of lighting along the river. We came here for dining along the river more than anything and ended up loving the food too! Lots of options on the menu and everything was delicious. You can pick and choose the protein, sauces and the base for your meal.

Truly enjoyed our experience at Pinched on the River. Our bowls were fantastic and very filling. Thank you Jenni for your suggestions and consistency during our visit. Most of all, thank you Ms Ranka for making suggestions while we are in Chicago in addition to sharing about your amazing space. I will never forget!

Amazing food!! My husband and I stayed in Chicago for a week and ate here twice! Best Mediterranean food I have ever had anywhere! Not just in Chicago! Loved the way you could "build your own" meal. Both times we ate there, we were sat outside next to the river. It was so beautiful! It reminded me of somewhere you might sit in France! Service was a little slow both times, but we were grateful for the extra time to relax in the beautiful atmosphere. Will definitely being going back when we are in town again!

If you're looking to enjoy a Mediterranean meal in the beautiful Chicago weather by the river, this place is it. Reservations are a must for patio seating. The portions are really good and the food is delicious! We tried the fish tacos, Chicken Shawarma, Jumbo prawns, Chicken kaboob, tangy Chicken and beef chevaps. Loved the beef chevaps.

We took a weekend lunch here.Since it was still chilly day we had inside seating.But it must be nice in summer to take outside seating and enjoy river view.
We ordered a pita plate and a salad plate.
Both was nice and my chicken was flavorful.
Our server was nice and kind.
Will come back in summer time.
