PinPoint

Top choice in Coastal North Carolina


PinPoint was declared by Southern Living magazine as one of the South's best new restaurants – and they weren't lyin'!.

To start, the butter-bean hummus, topped with crunchy, pickled goodness and farmer's cheese, is phenomenal. And the oysters, wild-harvested from Masonboro Island, are delicious. Moving on to the crisp-smoked catfish (on celery-creamed grits with green tomato slaw and lemon brown butter), another culinary coup. And the flourless brownie caramel and roasted-dandelion-root ice cream? Gluten-free never tasted so fine! Of course, the menu at this farm-to-fork wonderland changes daily, but not the talent. Visit here now.
