Re: Blue Point
Blue Point Oysters is what the Blue Point Restaurant is all about and WOW...Were they ever good! The dining room along with the bar were quite busy and loud. The waiters were short handed yet our service did not suffer. We were very impressed by that. Like I said before, the blue point oysters were incredible here. We also had the seafood platter to share and some soup, salad, and bread- we were stuffed.
This restaurant would make a great impression on a first date. Just make sure that she isn't allergic to fish! LOL
