    This was the best night out in awhile. The ambiance was everything we could have asked for. Dark and moody with low ambient light and REAL candles. A library even. It was cozy and intimate, sexy and sultry. The dishes were amazing the drinks were even better. Service was great and we were greeted with complimentary shots to start our evening. We Will definitely be going back!

    We got a table immediately with our reservation. The host was super friendly only to be followed by our great service from our server. I’m sorry I forget their names! My husband and I had an appetizer, salad and two entrees with a boozey cappuccino for dessert! Fabulous! Thank you for a great date night before the show!

    First time at Blue Point and the food, drink and service were great. We aren't huge seafood people but ordered lobster based on our servers recommendations and do not regret it. We had an 8:30 reservation and the place remained full until we left 90 minutes later which speaks volumes for the restaurant. Only thing we didn't care much for was the margarita which came in a tall pint glass and was very much a sugary mix, otherwise recommended and we will be back.

    This was our first visit. The food was really good. It was creative and prepared perfectly. We arrived a few minutes early but were seated at the bar while we waited. Our wait was short and easy as we were entertained by a friendly server who was very knowledgeable about wine and other libations. The service was outstanding from the young lady who offered to take our coats to our table server who did everything right. Five stars all the way around. We will definitely be back.
