   Save your money, or just get a drink and enjoy the very nice view. The food was good, fine, although nothing mind-blowing. The service was really quite bad, and I am not very picky at restaurants. Maybe our server was having an off night, but it really seemed like everything went poorly - dirty plates and glasses; very long waits between table check ins; appetizers arriving when we had no plates, drinks or silverware (and we had to ask 3 times for these as our appetizers grew cold); such long waits that a second drink was impossible - it look us 2.5 hours to get served and get the check, and while we weren't in a rush, it didn't feel like luxury, it felt like looong stretches of not being able to get anyone's attention. We won't be back. I've paid 1/3 this amount and had excellent service. They have plenty of staff, just a culture of "not my problem"

   The restaurant shut their kitchen down for an hour so we had to wait for that. The manager was very apologetic, he even payed for our drinks and dessert which was a nice gesture. The food was very good. I will definitely return. They seemed short staffed because there were so many dirty tables, dead shrubs and trash on the floor. I know it’s hard staffing these days so I’m very understanding when it comes to that. Overall we had a good time.

   The service was terrible!!! When we first arrived, we told the host that we had reservations. She said she would seat us, but then she walked away and never returned. We waited for over 30 minutes to be seated, and we had reservations. The next issue was our waiter. Our waiter, Katerin, took an additional 15 minutes to even acknowledge us or ever take our order. Once she took our order, she never came back. She was the absolute worst server that I have ever had. We ordered hot tea, and she put maple syrup in our tea instead of honey. We constantly had to ask other servers for things, or we had to get up and get what we needed. The silverware was dirty. We couldn't even eat because she did not come back for us to even get new silverware. I had to eat with a knife because I couldn't get a clean fork. Other tables around us had similar issues with her not returning. Also, the food was not good at all. I would not recommend eating here. This was the worst experience. Save your money.

   We have eaten at The Point multiple times, but yesterday was an extremely disappointing off day for them. The server was pleasant, but slow. Our food came out cold, and we waited nearly 45 minutes for a to-go omelet. We requested to speak to the manager about our experience, but he never showed up at our table to find him behind the bar on our way out. It'll be a little while before we return to The Point for brunch. Very disappointing.

   Nothing I write will do this place and the staff Justice. It’s the only place in DC I look forward to going to for a night out. We have celebrated 3 birthdays here and each time we go the experience is exceptional! That word doesn’t even really capture the experience but it’s the best one I can come up with for now.

   We celebrated a birthday and had a wonderful time. The food was delicious! Our party started with oysters & two sushi rolls which were delicious. For entrees our party had two short rib entree which were amazing as well as snapper & the rockfish. Everything was tasty. Great food and great times!

    I’ve been coming here for a couple of years now, when did it become the hook/ meet up spot? Lol… The service today horrible! The server even rolled his eyes a few times because someone didn’t like something. Then we got the bill to see the gratuity was included, the audacity of it being 20%!!! His attitude sucked…. Period! The manager did come and explain the service issue while also indicating it should not have been excusable, but also made the restaurants issues, I mean excuses, every guests problem. SMH… To the yellowish, greenish eye server and all workers, please keep in mind….. You knocked at ‘The Point’’s door for a job, they didn’t knock on your door looking for you and neither did the guest who came in for great vibes, good food, laughs and bright lights in a chill place. Good or bad days, the guest didn’t make you apply. When you look for a place to work, do it with the expectation that anything is bound to happen once you except the offer, Especially in the food and beverages industry!! Smile, being positive and checking in more frequently doesn’t hurt and neither does being courteous.

    Absolutely a go-to spot. Love the atmosphere, decor, spacing, friendliness of staff, excellent - highest quality, well-sourced, well-seasoned food (taste like it comes directly from farm/sea to table), and priceless views. The only downside is that the word is now out and it's becoming much more crowded. But even that is a plus. A must-visit.

    Took my husband here for our Anniversary, this place has a spectacular view on the water, atmosphere was light and airy for a Sunday evening, food was delicious and presented well. My only criticism is our waitress was hawking our table our entire stay. We weren't even half way through our food before she was placing to-go containers on our table and asking us if we were ready for the check. it made our experience feel rushed and unwelcoming.

    One of the worst service experiences we’ve had. Not very busy and seemed to be staffed appropriately. Just terrible, incredibly slow service (10 mins to get waters, 20 mins to get beers, 60 mins to get food). Food was good though…

    The crab cake market price wasn't worth it. We thought it would have been approximately $40. It was $53 and not worth that amount at all.

    The food was mid, service was extremely slow, we will not return. They have food runners but the server was so slow. We asked for the bill 35 minutes before we received it. The food was ok to be nice. The fish was dry the crab cake didn’t look or taste like lump. I only left a tip because i work in the industry. Once again, we will not return, the hype was not real

    We love brunch with friends at The Point. Phenomenal atmosphere, menu, and service. If the sushi chef is in the house, the Ora King Salmon Pineapple roll is a must for us. We also love the Benedict and the Hash, both are delicious. Outdoor dining with water views is comfortable all seasons. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

    The Point DC is always on point, however Sat. Feb. 4, 2023 was slightly off. Our server was AWESOME! Food quality, as always - wonderful. I ordered a Cesar Salad with well, well done blackened salmon to go. The bag was stapled when delivered to the table & I really had no reason to open the bag to inspect its contents. When I got it home, there was no salmon. I called back to let them know the salmon was not in the bag. As expected, the manager apologized & had the kitchen make the salmon as originally ordered. I went to pick it up, got it home & it was barely done. We cut our losses & decided to let it go. I will continue to patronize The Point DC, however I was SUPER disappointed.
