    Food was great, service very good. Because of the noise level I would prefer to go in off hours/days or an earlier dinner.

    Amazing for any night o it especially for special occasions. They do a great job of acknowledging without being pushy! The bar was one of the highlights from two people who don’t drink! Very accommodating!

    Phenomenal, as always. Excellent service by a very knowledgeable and helpful server. Great menu choices. (Pimento cheese is always a good choice as a starter.) Just enough background noise to make it a comfortable experience. I've been there a number of times and it's consistently exceptional. My favorite restaurant in Wilmington. Took two out of town guests and they can't wait to return.

    Too expensive, food was good, but not for the price. Tables were tiny and about a foot apart making it impossible not to hear your neighbors conversation.

    We were looking for a local restaurant that has GF options. The waiter was knowledgeable and very friendly. He really made the whole experience! The food was out of this world. I had the pork chop and my wife had the steak. The food was beautifully plated and melted in my mouth.

    It was our first time going to pinpoint, and everything was fabulous! Our server was charming and helpful and very attentive! We all enjoyed our meals and our desserts. I have to say the steak dish was out of this world!!! I guess the downside is that the prices are high, but realistically prices are high everywhere. It would certainly not deter me and my friends from going back.

    Pinpoint used to be incredible, from the food to the service. We were disappointed with both on this visit! They were not busy, so it wasn’t because of that. It feels like it’s under new ownership, it was that extreme. They even charged us $10 for using a credit card without any prior notice. We will not be back…

    The food and service was excellent. We tried to order our third course and they told us the kitchen was closed. It wasn’t even 9:30 on Saturday night. That’s the only reason I gave it four stars. We were also seated right by the kitchen and there were plenty of other tables.

    Be sure to make a reservation and don’t miss this excellent restaurant. The staff is super friendly and very knowledgeable. Delicious craft cocktails made specific to our taste. We had the raw oysters and all were delicious. Each meal was incredible, fried chicken, pork chop, fish. We each said best we had ever eaten. Our waitress, Brooke, was very attentive and did a great job. Loved the decor and feel of this restaurant.

    For the most part the Service and ambiance were very good. The raw oysters were amazing. However it took forever to get our entrees (Mahi Mahi and Fried chicken). We waited over 45 minutes after ordering, The Mahi Mahi $39 was tasteless and the fried chicken $33 was overcooked. Additionally there was a surcharge of over $10 added to the bill apparently to cover the extra cost of using a credit card. Which nobody explained unless you asked. I would go back for the half price oysters and wine on Mondays but probably will not return for anything else
