I loved the experience! A beautiful restaurant with some of the nicest bartenders I have ever met! They were very personable. The art in the restaurant was beautiful and gave it the perfect touch. I tried multiple dishes, nothing I didn't enjoy.

Just a delightful dinner experience - from the time we were escorted to our table until the "goodbyes" at the door. It is obvious the people here are determined to treat you in a first class manner and they didn't disappoint. The idea of farm-to-table is interesting and they make it work. My Mahi-Mahi was perfectly prepared and my wife thoroughly enjoyed her pork tenderloin. Oh, one other thing: the BEST Manhattan I've had in years.

Fantastic meal at Pinpoint in downtown Wilmington! Modern atmosphere and friendly staff as you walk in the door. Our reservation was seated right away and they acknowledged our birthday celebration with a toast and a sign. This farm to table restaurant had a great variety of options for appetizers and entrees, all in season. Cocktails were very well crafted. Food was amazing! Everything we had was incredibly fresh and had dynamic flavors. We didn't have room for dessert but they all sounded great. Definitely a top notch restaurant!

We took advantage of the Labor Day weekend and drove to Wilmington. This was our last day in the area and thought we would celebrate with style by dining in one of the notable restaurants in the area. This was one of the more recommended places to visit. And I'm happy that it didn't fail. The decor was subdued and tasteful and reservations were easy to come by. We got an awesome table facing the street by the door. It was nice and warm so it didn't bother us too much when the door opened for people to get in. We were supposed to order the following entrees - Mahi Mahi - Raw Oysters - St. Louis Ribs - Potato Salad Unfortunately, the menus changed when we arrived so that left us with the following alterations - Changin' Ways Fried Chicken - Six Baked Oysters - Six Raw Oysters - A mocktail and a Guiness - A brownie and marshmallow dessert The fried chicken was well seasoned and tasty. Not spectacular but filling given the fairly generous portion. I'll give this a B+ The baked oysters were delicious but I wish there was more. This gets an A-. Likewise for the raw oysters (yes, I ordered same, cooked two different ways - is it obvious I love them?) My wife's cocktail was refreshing and mildly addicting. I wish I ordered the same instead of my stout. But how can you not pick a nice pint of Guiness when the establishment has it? The brownie dessert was good. Again, not spectacular but satisfying, nonetheless. A solid B+. I was going to give this place 4 stars but it's the service that elevated the experience to a 5-star rating. The staff was friendly, accommodating and helpful in recommending the choices as well as allowing us to sit even though we were 30 minutes ahead of our reservation. We were willing to wait, but they wouldn't have any of it. They asked us to wait for 3 minutes and found the perfect table. We will definitely be back!

I went out for date night with my boyfriend and we had such a perfect experience here! Drink list was varied from approachable to stout. I ordered the watermelon mojito and my boyfriend got the Blind Melon. Service was tailored to us and our server, Ryan, made sure to keep the laughs and celebrations throughout. He made us feel comfortable and educated us on everything we were eating. We also noticed the teamwork in the restaurant, and really appreciated that. Thank you so much Ryan!

PinPoint is all about giving you the freshest local ingredients and putting a unique spin on dishes. Because of that, the menu is always changing so be sure to check before you visit as it is a smaller menu. We tried the seafood pasta which used a delicious sourdough noodle and pesto cream sauce. We also enjoyed the mushroom peach bbq platter. The sauce was sweet but the smoked carrots gave it a nice balance. Lastly, we tried the fingerling potatoes which were crispy, garlicky and everything you'd want. The service was EXCEPTIONAL. Best I've had in awhile. Everyone was attentive, genuinely friendly, were passionate about the menu and food. I would recommend for a special meal!

I've been to Pinpoint three times now and all of the times were great. Menu is always changing so keeps it interesting. Most of the food and ingredients are local too, so that's nice. Parking garage and lot are right across the street or if you're lucky you can park on the street. From the most recent visit, we started off with the assorted pickled carrots, cucumbers, green beans, cauliflower, and parsnip. I liked the green beans the most because it had more seasoning, was the most flavorful. The one I liked the least was parsnip, only because I'm not a big parsnip fan. The rest of the pickled vegetables were very vinegary. For dinner, I had the spear caught grouper which came with a mixture of spring peas, black-eyed peas, asparagus, cooked collard greens, flavored with herbs and fresh mint, mezcal strawberry beurre rouge sauce. Black Eyed Peas mixture had a tinge of spiciness. My partner had the 1855 NY strip 48, which came with smoked carrots, asparagus, mushrooms, parsnip purée and a chimichurri sauce. Both of our dishes were delicious, wish I could make these at home. What could've been better is if the collard greens were cut into smaller pieces as they were just long strands I had to keep slurping up. Regardless, I loved the abundance of vegetables. Also had complementary bread, which was good, fresh, served with butter. Would've been better if they were served warm though. Bread is made in-house. For dessert, we tried the German chocolate cake with a coconut and pecan filling, cacao nibs, salted caramel and dulce de leche served with a scoop of house made vanilla ice cream. It was so divine and perfect! One of the best desserts ever and best ice cream. It hit all the spots with different textures and flavor. It was like a brownie cake. To celebrate my birthday they sat us at the booth seat right at the window, which was fine. But it was a little annoying to eat dinner at the time right when the sun was going down, with the sun shining in my face. At least it made for good people watching. Limited high chairs are available.

I had a wonderful evening at Pinpoint with a group of fellow Yelp Elites- we decided to try a bunch of different items to share and loved them all! We made a reservation to make sure we had a table- we were seated in the back which allowed us to admire all of the artwork on the walls as well as see all the dishes coming out of the kitchen. Our waitress was super nice and answered all of our questions. The food was across the board delicious! Definitely worth it every once in awhile (it is pricey).

This place was such a gem. Located in Historic Downtown Wilmington, PinPoint is the perfect place to sample all of Wilmington's finest. We booked a reservation with OpenTable and were pleasantly surprised at how quiet and spacious the restaurant was. Our server talked us through each of the items on the menu and we tried a good amount of everything! The oysters were our favorite by far, they had a juicy saltiness to them that I just loved. We ordered the pimento cheese as our other appetizer as well as the local mahi and local grouper for our entrees. Both dishes were incredibly unique in their flavor profile and were the PERFECT size. Dessert was again a perfectly sized apple skillet that capped off a fantastic visit to Wilmington!
