Amazing lineup of the freshest seafood and shellfish, simply prepared to showcase their true flavors. Daily menu that includes a full RAW BAR, classics like New England Clam Chowder and Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes, to more exotic seafood items such as Whole Greek Bronzino, Australian Barramundi and Point… Judith Skate Wings.Continued

"My husband and I have been going to Blue Point Grill for years now, we love how fresh all the fish and seafood are and have never had anything bad from this restaurant. I'm hooked on the hazelnut crusted tilapia with cherry sauce (and I don't even like cherries!) SO delicious! My husband always steals some of mine and actually said that he's never had better fish than that dish. We don't usually get dessert, we head down to the ice cream shop for that, but we got it this last time but it was disappointing - we'll just stick with the food from now on."

"An enjoyable dinner(Tuesday,early evening,party of 4 adults). Would go back without hesitation. Good location. Does offer outside dining on main st.. Waitress very good. BYOB with liquor stores very close. Oysters were excellent(presentation,selection,taste). Other meals good to very good. BUT, Noise level more than energetic however. And with tables much too close together (on the verge of uncomfortable). Assisting wait staff at best was fair (more than just brushed by passing staff without apology on several occasions). V good to excellent seafood. But ambiance was not special occasion, NOT kid-friendly, nor very romantic."

"Excellent food, excellent service.
My favorites are the monkfish medalions,which are cooked to perfection, the wild canadian lake trout and the halibut.
The restaurant gets very crowded, so be sure to make a reservation."
