    This was our family dinner to say goodbye to The Point, which had been our favorite restaurant since it opened!!! We are very sorry to see it close, but reassured by staff that some of the menu items will be included in the new Madison Cafe offerings.

    This establishment is closing at the New Year!! It has been one of our families favorites. We are sad. If you get a chance before they close, go!! You won't be sorry.

    Food was either way too bland or WAY too salty. Service was OK, pasta was dry.

    First time we had dinner at the Point, the ambiance was wonderful, the food was amazing and the staff very friendly. The Point will be added to our list of great places to relax, unwind and enjoy yourself.

    "Eggplant" Appetizer was almost nearly olives and came with two measly pieces of thin bread for half a saucer of whipped fetta and lettuce, was not advertised as a sports bar, there was a large table of nearly 25 people behind us screaming to the point where I could not hear my companion barely 2 feet across from me. The cocktail was good, but everything was overpriced. Waitress was kind. Left after the disappointing appetizer.

    The food was to die for. We did wait almost an hour and a half for the food and it wasn’t very busy. We actually had to ask for our food bc we watched 5 tables walk in and eat AFTER us. It was weird but the food was SOOOO good.
