    Dram yard’s creative & intentional menus were such a treat. The staff paid excellent attention to detail: cocktail modifications, food allergies, etc. They serve Antipodes water from New Zealand, which set the bar high from the very start. Our server (Maya?) was outstanding, she helped pace our food perfectly since we elected for a family style meal. My family’s favorite dishes were the pork chop and the shrimp and grits- the grits had an incredible mushroom curry sauce that elevated a common southern dish into something incredible. Highly highly recommend, we will be back!

    Our first time to Pinpoint and it won't be our last. Started with a dozen of three kinds of local oysters all of which were wonderful. We enjoyed the Dukes so much that we ordered another dozen of them. We then split the artisanal lettuce salad which was well prepared and which had been split between two plates in the kitchen ahead of time. I had the mahi entree and my wife had the pork loin dish both of which were wonderful and creatively prepared and presented. We enjoyed a bottle of the Foxglove Pinot Noir with our dinner which was perfect with both the mahi and pork. Quinn provided excellent wait service. Highly recommended!
