Editorial Review for Pumpkin – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
The walls of this petite 28-seat neighborhood bistro are lined with candle-filled shelfs; the tiled dining room floor is kissed by filmy curtains trailing down from overhead pipes. Diners in the front can enjoy the large bay window--in the back, guests can view Chef Ian Moroney's open kitchen. Don't miss the scallops served on a bed of red peppers and escarole. The dinner menu changes daily, but there always is a whole fish entree.

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!
Pros: It's all good. No wait; sometimes other people make too much noise.
Cons: Sometimes I can't eat there

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 so many good BYOs in the city that I can't say it was my all-time favorite.
Pros: BYOB, great food, good service
Cons: Small, can get loud, small portions
