Went on a Friday evening for dinner. Indoor seating was full but plenty of seating outdoors in a beautiful evening. Service was excellent and food was all fresh and tasty. Loved the appetizers and variety. Dessert was a bonus. Donuts had small slices of apple. Huge serving so definitely meant to be shared. We rolled out happy and full.

Oof, this was rough. We had high expectations but left disappointed. Service was great, ambiance is lovely but food was not good. Ordered the kung pao roll, burger medium rare, and had hoped to split the chicken bacon pizza with my son but when we asked if they would just do half of it bacon only the server asked the chef who refused…so pretentious and lame. So instead we ordered the cheese pizza and I ordered the steak dumplings. The roll was fine enough, nothing special. Cheese pizza came out quick and was decent. The burger was overcooked and dry and for some reason they decided to put the thickest slice of onion on it, completely unappetizing. The tomato was also super thick and mushy. The steak dumplings were so basic it reminded me of Applebees and the side salad they served with it was all mushy and tasted old. Really bummed as this place seems like a great location but food def needs refining and the chef really shouldn’t refuse basic requests that are completely reasonable.

Love the Poynt! Have been there so many times and never wrote a review but it deserves a great one after our delicious dinner of lemon orzo shrimp, lemon chicken piccata and braised short ribs. The Brussel sprouts are the best anywhere! Chrissy our server was extremely friendly and attentive. Our cocktails were awesome and we LOVED the complimentary espresso martini concoction and strudel served for the Christmas stroll (and our server there as well!). This restaurant also rocks for brunch!!

Lovely place for a date night! We enjoyed the patio seating, generous wine pours and oh so delicious food. My favorite was the dumplings appetizer, and the scallop with risotto entree was pretty great too. My husband enjoyed his lobster pasta. The service was prompt but didn’t check in on us too much, which was much appreciated. The chocolate torte for dessert was the bomb!

First time visiting this restaurant and will definitely return. Went on a summer Sunday morning at 11:30, no line, ordered bloody Mary’s at the bar while we waited for friends. The bloodies came with a large pimento olive, a lemon wedge and celery stick. Sat outside on the porch in the shade. Ordered their cider donut starter which is a donut lovers dream. 6 donuts the size of meatballs served with whipped cream and a glaze. Omg. Service was efficient. All 3 meals were excellent.

Food is very good here. The menu has options for everyone. My new favorite place for brunch. Love their Apple Cider donut balls. Good cocktails as well. Atmosphere is nice, somewhat modern and sophisticated.

I would say the food if decent. Some items clash like the pizza dough with s’more toppings. The steak Frits with thick soft fries. I would give the food a 6 / 10 but the service was good.

We came as a group of 12 (9 adults and 3 kids) to the Poynt to celebrate a birthday dinner. I called the morning of and they were super accommodating. The Poynt offers some pretty awesome event spaces for larger celebrations and we had an amazing time. Our waiter Teddy was phenomenal. He really went above and beyond to take care of us. They were great with food allergies as we had a member of the party with celiac and another with nuts + mushroom allergy. The food was great. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nice place to celebrate that also doesn’t break the bank as their prices were reasonable. The shortrib was delicious and their menu had a fun variety of dishes.

We ordered two starters, the Calamari and the meatballs. I’ll say the Calamari was the best I’ve had in a long time. The meatballs, I didn’t enjoy them, but the two others in my party did. I would definitely recommend the Calamari.
Next my son order the burger which looked like your normal burger, but came across greasy. My parter, he had the pork tacos which the sauce it came with was great and he said the tacos tasted good. I got the Steak Frites, the hanger steak. I may have expected to much, this steak was to bland, just lacking flavor, definitely room for much improvement. For 32 I wouldn’t buy that again. I prefer your steak from a texas road house.
Now our server was great and this spot looks cute and I think a later dinner would look beautiful during the evening. We’ll be back to give it another shot sometime soon.

Start to finish great service, drinks and food. My Manhattan was perfect and our fish taco and scallop with risotto entrees were on point. We took our waiters recommendation for desert and got the cider donuts which had fresh fruit inside. They take a few minutes to make since they’re from scratch but are well worth the time. Chef’s kiss!
