    Sunday lunch for three. I had never been there before. The restaurant is very attractive, open with a nice patio. We dined inside due to the heat. I guess they were really busy or shorthanded as it took about 15 minutes to be able to order a drink from our server. The food included two spicy chicken sandwiches and a classic burger. The burger originally was served with the wrong side order so they had to switch that out. The spicy chicken sandwiches were dry, possibly over cooked or maybe it just seemed that way due to the crunchy breading on the chicken. We also ordered the spicy mango margaritas which were not spicy at all. While I appreciate the location and the fun lively atmosphere, the food and drinks were just mediocre. I will probably only be back just to have a drink at the bar with someone.

    It was Cinco de Mayo. Great ambiance. Food was okay but due to the holiday it was a very limited menu and the food was not to the level we have come to expect at the Point.

    We planned an Easter brunch at The Point and we’re very disappointed. The front host section was terrific in accommodating our changes with numbers and restaurant placement, they deserve 5 stars! However, the table service was not good and I fault our servers for not noticing that we didn’t get what should be on the plate, for example the waffle was missing the bacon and our quiche order was minus the fruit which we never asked for because we just wanted to leave. We didn’t get place settings and needed to ask twice, we didn’t get refills on water or ice tea, and wanted to order additional bar drinks, but didn’t have proper attention to our table. It wasn’t yet busy when we arrived and did expect good service. The food was mediocre at best and over priced, with a 3 section waffle, what happened to the 4 th piece? The steak with the eggs was tough and ordered rare which it wasn’t. So disappointed with the meal and service on a special family day .

    The totchos were more like tatter tots from a cafeteria with some cheese sprinkles and cilantro. There wasn’t salsa, jalapeños or avocado sauce as described. When I questioned that, it was stated that the recipe has changed recently. The drinks were good, and my friends enjoyed their meals. It was the end of brunch so we weren’t provided much in the way of service. It definitely felt like we were the last diners at the end of everyone’s shift.

    Used open table to book and we were seated immediately. We did ask to move as the table was near the door and every time the door was opened a blast of cold air came in. They accommodated the request right away. Service was amazing and the ambience is perfect for a group celebration or a quiet meal. We went for Sunday brunch and started with the loaded Bloody Mary. It tasted like house made and was the perfect combination of seasoning’s. It came with sprigs of prosciutto, cheese and tomatoes and lots of olives. Personally, I prefer mine to come with thick cut crisp bacon. (Order a breakfast shot and you get the bacon!! ;) The table ordered the biscuits and gravy (excellent gravy with lots of sausage… biscuits were tasty and held up great to the sausage), the Monte Cristo (included prosciutto and cheese and the accompanying jam complimented it perfectly), breakfast burrito (which was delicious and included chorizo … and when the side of sausage gravy was added was out of this world good) and lastly the eggs Benedict with the house smoked salmon (egg was perfectly poached and the smoked salmon was delicious. Would have been a five for five if there was a touch more hollandaise as the English muffin was a touch drier than I prefer). Would go back for the food and will def go back for drinks on the patio when the weather cooperates.

    We were disappointed this time & the time before. The consistency of taste & presentation is always different. Example, the bloody marys were awful, watered down, way too heavy on salts & had a very bitter taste. We know for a fact it was not made with Titos which we ordered. However it was so busy, we didnt see the server & continued to drink them. The server did apologize as they were hit with a busy crowd & a couple of parties. Food, again not consistent in taste or presentation. 1. The biscuits & gravy which usually come in a bowl to keep them warm, topped with lots of goodies, came on a huge dinner plate with only 3 halves, 2" small biscuits & only a drizzle of gravy. We were shocked when we saw it, asked the bus boy for more gravy but it only made the tiny hard cold biscuits worse. 2. The chicken sandwiches were completely different with very small thin breasts & flavor was Not there at all. 3. The club had all items on only half of the sandwich the other half had tiny piece of lettuce/tomato & mayo, The bread was toasted & must of sat in the back as it was hard as a rock, and basically cutting the roof of your mouth with every bite. Our meal took almost an hour to get to our table. We were hungry & we pretty much just wanting to move on. It's very sad as this has been our favorite go to place, & before yesterday we thought our last visit was a fluke. But after talking with other friends & family last night at dinner, letting us know they too feel the drinks & food have been very inconsistent the last few months; we might have to find a new go to place. Our hopes is that the owner & managers see this as an opportunity to rectify an on going problem to make this a great place again.

    I cannot recommend The Point highly enough! Every single thing we ordered was flavorful, balanced & high quality. I am a chef myself & quite picky, and I could not find a single flaw. Steak was cooked perfectly, salad dressed to perfection, every detail on point. It is obvious that love and care has been put into this menu. The service was also absolutely impeccable. Everyone was kind and helpful, and no one seemed stressed or unhappy to be there, which leads me to believe that the staff is being treated well. 100 out of 10, we will be back, and I'll be sending everyone I know to enjoy The Point! Thank you for a wonderful Valentine's Day experience.

    Was smooth and prompt. Arrived 10 minutes early and our table was set. We had patio seating and it was warm, intimate, and you wouldn’t know it was raining. The only odd thing was how a small group (4) almost took our table as the waitress began to seat us. Very awkward as they were allowed in without reservations? Otherwise a great evening.

    We were able to make same-day reservations - this was a plus. The restaurant was not too crowded when we walked in. I was not impressed with the hostesses - they didn’t seem to care that guests had shown up, and didn’t say much as we were seated. Our waiter, however, was amazing. My husband asked for a glass of wine, and the waiter said he thought they might be out of that selection. He said he would bring a couple options for tasting so my husband could choose. This was very accommodating. While ordering one of the fish dishes, my husband asked for a substitute on one of the side dishes because of an allergy, and the waiter suggested a couple of different sides to go with the fish dish as a substitute. We thoroughly appreciated the waiters attentiveness to our table and desire to make our experience a good one.
