Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
The Point - DC impresses with its "absolutely delicious" food, especially the crab cakes and crab donuts. With a "great waterside view" and a spacious, lively atmosphere, it's perfect for "celebrations." While some find service inconsistent, the diverse menu and "fresh seafood" keep guests returning. Highly recommended for brunch or dinner!

    Our dinner was absolutely delicious, I had the crabcake, which had absolutely no filler, just full of lump crab meat! my boyfriend had the double cheeseburger and that was excellent also! The service was great, we retirement it in order to go to the Nationals game!!

    Food was delish. Service was a little slow but seems like lack of communication.

    Usually a 5 out of 5 but was disappointed this time. Went on Easter and they did not have the cute drinks with Peeps and other Easter garnishment like in the past. The cornbread was over cooked. My daughter had a hair in her mimosa. The waiter just took it and replaced it with no apology. The warm donuts were not served with the sweet cream sauce like in the past and I didn't like them without it. The whole experience was just meh.

    The food was so bland. I use to go to the point often when the food had taste and quality. The food taste like your average chain restaurant not sure if they changed cooks or ingredients but it was not good at all. The restaurant still has the same ambience just not the same quality of food.

    Crab doughnuts, cornbread, and dessert are a must get! Service struggled during our meal. They forgot a meal and graciously took it off the bill. Kitchen was fast and food was excellent.

    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.

    The waiter Ricardo was excellent. He was very knowledgeable about the menu. The beet salad was good. The sea bass was good but on the expensive side. The crab cake sandwich was good. Lots of crab meat and little filling. I would go back and try other dishes
