OUR MISSION

The Mainsail Restaurant strives to provide the freshest, tastiest food possible in a relaxed, friendly, beach casual atmosphere. We work closely with the local community, supporting local fisherman as well as local farmers. We use only top quality ingredients, making all of our sauces on premise. Mainsail is the place to be for those who want a refreshing drink, the freshest food, and friendly Carolina service.

The Mainsail Restaurant has been run by the Pasquantonio family since 1994. Hurricane Fran destroyed our first restaurant in 1996, we reopened at our current location in 2002. We have always enjoyed life on Topsail Island, being active members in the community balancing business with the environment.

As avid surfers and watermen, we choose to act responsibly at home and with our business. We aim to be responsible stewards in these areas:

• Sourcing seafood seasonally to limit over harvesting.
  
• Working with local North Carolina commercial fisherman to enhance local marine life.
• Not supporting long lining.
• Recycling
• Following the Monterey Bay Aquarium guidelines for responsible seafood.
• Supporting local foundations and schools like the Turtle Hospital and Topsail High School.
