    I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. The food was sooo good. The lamb and chicken was sooo good, they were so flavorful and tender. The onion rings were the best I’ve ever had. My only gripe is that the Mac and cheese was a $12 up charge….not sure why the mac and cheese was so expensive and we had to sit by the door. Anytime someone came in and out the bitter cold air came through. Other than that, I would HIGHLY recommend this place!

    We had a triple date to celebrate Valentine's Day! From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect!! The team members that greeted us were so friendly & welcoming!! For starters, we shared Oysters Rockefeller, Calamari & Shrimp Cocktail & each of the selections were absolutely delicious!! Our entrees included Filet Mignon, Delmonico Ribeye, Surf & Turf, Coleman Farms Chicken, Grilled Atlantic Salmon & New York Strip. The meals were perfectly prepared & everyone in our party raved about how delicious everything was. For salads, we had a variety including mixed greens, Cesar, beet, & titanic wedge which paired perfectly with our selections. My dry vodka martini with blue cheese stuffed olives was decadent & there were a variety of wine by the glass being thoroughly enjoyed. To finish things off - each couple shared the key lime pie tart, & New York cheesecakes with espresso & Cappuccino. Our waiter, Mitchell was fantastic!! He was attentive, extremely knowledgeable & professional. Blue Pointe is lucky to have him as a member of the team!! We were absolutely thrilled with our entire evening & cannot wait to return!! Thank you!!

    This was my 2nd time frequenting this establishment. I genuinely enjoyed it. Each time we've encountered an issue that they readily address and resolve. That goes far with me! Our waitress was amazing. She was helpful in my drink decision by offering her rake on certain ingredients and also in our choice of aide items. We ordered everything she suggested. We were not disappointed in either item. My husband's drink was An Apple A Day. It tasted like a regular margarita but with apple flavoring. I had a regular margarita 🍹 because that just always seem to work for me. It was delicious 😋 We both ordered steaks. Ribeye for him. Filet for me. It was suggested to butterfly 🦋 the filet. Ok. Well done. The ribeye was prepared perfectly 👌🏽 My filet was very pink inside. I sent it back. 2nd time, it was 50% well, 50% pink. Ok. I'll just take it home and fix it. My waitress didn't like that i had to doctor up my steak so she had it removed from my bill and offered me dessert on them. That was nice and greatly appreciated 👏🏽 💐 I definitely don't mind paying $70 for my steak. I love steak so I expect to pay for my fine dining experience. However, for that same reason, I want it prepared to my specifications. I am grateful that she felt the same sentiment without me asking. That ribeye on on point tho! No issues. And the flavoring/seasoning on both steaks were great. We ordered 3 sides because we couldn't narrow it down after listening to our waitress. We got mac-n-cheese, steak fries, and snap peas 🫛 Each 1 was amazing. The mac-n-cheese was a smoked gouda mac so you know it levels it up a bit. Gouda can be a lot alone but it was done well here. The snap peas 🫛 had like some chilli 🌶 flakes tossed in for additional flavor. It worked. I think it was also a few spinach leaves thrown in too. The steak fries were good. Not spectacular but definitely flavorful. Would I return here? Absolutely 💯 It was very loud in here but oh well...

    I’m a returning customer so that is a big deal for me. The service,food and atmosphere were all very positive again . The only issue was when the patio heater nearest my table was turned off . My table was not against the restaurant brink exterior but up against the tented wall in the patio section. We were not asked about our temperature comfort level when the patio heater near our table was turned off; It was a very cold night and our feet ended up being cold. Other than that it was pretty great! The fresh “free bread “ all the appetizers and all three meals were delicious! So go!
