Well I thought my dinner was fit for an appetizer I am a big person and scallops were small and Sweet mash potatoes. The fresh shrimp was a little hard to chew. Also the dinner was not cheap.

My gf and I thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. Our server was excellent. He gave his honest opinions as to what to order. He didn't say everything is good or push us to the more expensive option. He was attentive and had a great sense of humor. I was a little hesitant about choosing this restaurant at first because of some of the negative reviews regarding the creativity of the food and the price point. First, our server explained that the chef doesn't want to overpower the flavor of the fish. He wants it's natural taste and quality to stand on it's own, akin to steakhouse. He was right. Our branzini filet was cooked perfectly. The actual flavor of the fish really stood out. It was delicious. The portion was 7 oz., which is a good sized piece of fish. We also had the crab dip as an appetizer. It was good, but could have used a bit more crab. The side of sweet potato fries we got were abundant, cooked perfectly, and didn't have that heavy fried feeling you can get with fries. We also went with a side of broccoli that was a larger than expected portion that was well seasoned with garlic. At this point we were quite full, but decided to have dessert on our date night. I went with the chocolate chip bread pudding and my gf got 2 scoops of the vanilla sea salted ice cream. Both were good, but nothing to rave about. The portions were also a bit small, which ended up being good because we were full enough from dinner. Overall, I would definitely recommend Blue Point to everyone. Great service, delicious food, and if you split dishes it isn't as expensive as it appears. Especially if you bring your own wine or beer.
