If I could give it no stars I would.Terrible customer service. Terrible.

Excellent food and wonderful staff in a cute, intimate setting. Definitely make reservations though!

We went here yesterday for lunch. A small little spot. My husband loved his sandwich, I thought the tacos were okay but we definitely had a good time. A must try. Service was excellent.

I have heard nothing but great things about this restaurant for years, and I've been waiting for a girl's night out to go. My friend and I went for her birthday on Saturday night. We made a reservation on Resy (make sure you show up for your reservations otherwise there is a charge!!) and were immediately sat. The restaurant is smaller with an open kitchen layout and a communal table in the middle. There is outdoor seating but we decided to go on a very rainy weekend and opted for a seat inside. Our server greeted us quickly and gave us a run down of the menu. She recommended that eat person order 2-3 plates since it is a small plate type of dining experience. We shared a bottle of the Populis White Blend for $40 and we loved the mildly sweet but slightly dry taste. We shared the calamari which was covered in massaman curry, radish, cabbage, peanuts, and herbs. My friend has a tree nut allergy but is able to peanuts and our server made sure to confirm all the dishes my friend was going to eat did not have tree nuts! The calamari was crispy and had such a deliciously unique flavor. Our main dishes were the gnocchi with chorizo cream sauce and mushrooms and spaghetti with caramelized onion butter and Parmesan. We shared both of the dishes and it was easily some of the best pasta that we had ever had. We ate three dishes total and were more than full when we were done! This place blew us away and I cannot recommend the Pink Dinghy enough.

This is a cute, small, spot in the Vibe district of VB. Parking is minimal in peak season, so plan accordingly! Food is always delicious and they have a seasonal rotating menu!

10/10 would recommend. This food is IMPECCABLE! *chefs kiss* The service is top tier, the vibe is vibingggg, AND make sure you put an order in for the pie at Thanksgiving because your whole family will thank you.

Just incredible. Everything we had was perfect. Great balance on all of the food and the portions were very generous for the cost. Will definitely be back!

Really excellent small plate dining. For two people plan on getting at least 4 plates to share. Depending on whether you get cocktails and desert, figure $80-100 for two people, plus gratuity. Reservations recommended, it gets busy during peak hours.Atmosphere wise, it's a pretty small dining room, but there's a lot of patio seating if the weather is nice. Dining room can be a bit loud, so expect to shout a little if it's busy. Music is modern and bumping. Less 'quiant and intimate', more 'hip and chic'. The presumably converted beach area townhouse they turned into a restaurant adds to the vibe.Parking: Parking can vary based on what's going on nearby. One time we went and the whole parking lot behind the restaurant was being used for a flea market pop up so we had to park a block away. Not a big deal. Last time we went, nothing was happening and parking was adequate and close.

Very yummy food and an interesting unique experience highly recommend, outside seating.
Great food, service, and cool vibe. Have eaten here now multiple times and am so happy we choose to come here everytime! Definitely order the burger:)

Lovely spot, convenient for a quick visit to the beach...but just far enough off the main drag you're not over run. Menu is creative and innovative. The food was spectacular and the wait staff not only is knowledgeable, but friendly, attentive, and had perfect timing for allowing you time to enjoy your dining partners.

This place is fantastic! We had so many good things. Coconut shrimp, spaghetti and mushrooms, focaccia, chopped salad are all must orders. Do not skip this place.Kid-friendliness: Yes!

We tried the Pink Dinghy on a friend's recommendation, and we're glad we asked. Valerie's service is impeccable! The space is charming; the menu creative; and the food and cocktails absolutely delicious. We had the scallops and the mushroom spaghetti, and both were divine.

This is unfortunate because the staff is nice and helpful but the food is a crime against humanity. Their food makes a Popeyes biscuit seem moist and flavorful and would make someone question if they have COVID due to the absence of any seasoning. I would easily pay another 40$ to just throw away my order and save someone else from having to endure this horrendous food experience. Cliff notes: overpriced subpar food
