Owner Dory Ford was formerly the chef for the Ventana Inn & Spa's restaurant as well as the Monterey Bay Aquarium, so he carries a major pedigree into his newest venture, the Point Pinos Grill in Pacific Grove. Focusing on serving sustainably prepared food, Point Pinos is welcoming with a roaring fireplace and stone walls that offer glimpses of the expansive ocean below. Osso bucco served with skillet braised winter greens, maple bourbon pork belly, rabbit fricassee, and a variety of succulent seafood are but a few of the adventurous dishes built with a complexity of flavor that's hard to find anywhere in California let alone Monterey. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
