    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!!

    Our reservations were for 6PM as we we’re heading to a 7:30 play. We were seated promptly. None of are party had been there before. Our dinner partners had arrived early and enjoyed the bar area, for the pricing, ambience and generous pour. As it was Valentines Day they were busy but had enough staff. Our server, Cole did an exceptional job of explaining the dishes. Two of us had the Salmon dish and recommended salad. Both thought it was one of the best salmon they’ve had. We enjoyed two appetizers, wine the pesto pasta dish, and dessert. All delicious. We had a play subscriptions for 15 years. This in now our go to restaurant in Playhouse Square. Pricing was reasonable. We look forward to breaking bread again with family and friends at the Friar’s Table.

    The brussel sprouts were the best part. The scenery was breathtaking and our service was excellent. Our waitress was an older woman with short white hair. Very charming, possessing a great sense of humor and she made great conversation. No complaints, will definitely be coming back.
