    Bustling but delicious! You wouldn’t have known it was a Monday night by the packed tables and hustling waitstaff. Our party of three enjoyed a fantastic meal sampling the flavors of the Mediterranean. Our hummus was brought to the table so quickly after we’d ordered, it seemed like they’d intuited our plans. Every dish was somehow even better than the last. Felafel, lamb, shrimp, shish taouk - all fabulous! Not to mention the airy, pillowy pitas that never ran out. Service was a bit impersonal, but efficient. We’re already looking forward to our return.

    We had a great time celebrating my son‘s 21st birthday at The Point. This was our family’s first time at this establishment, and we were impressed with the food, the service, the spacious layout, and the great waterside view. The menu was pretty diverse, including it seafood options, which were the reason we chose this restaurant for our party.
