The Grill at Point Pinos

Considering the quality of golf course restaurants in Monterey County, this is no participation trophy. Indeed, people treat The Grill at Point Pinos as a destination restaurant, and may not even know about the possibility of golfing (too bad – readers voted Pacific Grove Golf Links as the Best Public Golf Course). The fried chicken is prized, and the huevos rancheros is an award-winner. Up and down the menu, everything is worthwhile, including the cocktails. Open for breakfast and lunch, with popular bar bites after. You play here, you win.
