The service was not very good for the second time. We went they first opened and had the same very slow service. 45 minutes of just to take an order for drinks. This time was about the same as last time. I think the food is over priced. The atmosphere portrayed a high-end restaurant with high expectations for a rewarding evening, but just ended in disappointment. The only high of the evening was the basil drop cocktail and being with family to pass the extreme long wait time to order and get our drinks and food.

When visiting family in AR in March of 2025 we ate at this restaurant. The March visit was disappointing because the service was really slow/bad and the food was just ok based on the price. We tried this place again last night (October 28, 2025) and experienced the same issues. The service was exceptionally slow and we had very little acknowledgement or apology from our waiter.. By the time we ordered (45 minutes after being seated) we ordered drinks, apps and dinner all at one time for fear we might not see our waiter again. Drinks took another 20 minutes. The “whole” salads we ordered were small for the price. The presentation of the food was nice but by the time we got our main meals the wagu steaks were cold (we believe not the fault of the chef but the delivery service from the kitchen) , food was salty and parts were forgotten. My sister thinks the duck wing appetizer she ordered was actually chicken. Our waiter mentioned a few other large parties being the problem however a restaurant of this caliber should never use this as an excuse and should be able to handle better service despite these large parties. We were all too tired to send the steaks back. If the service was phenomenal the food quality, presentation and temperature would have been a little easier to overcome. Leadership should have been serving drinks, checking on tables and apologizing for the poor service if the waiter was overextended. I don’t see us coming back on our next visit or my sister, who lives locally, coming back anytime soon. This restaurant has so much potential I hope the issues can be addressed.

Great Steaks. I had the Filet Mignon with Oscar Style topping and Parmesan Risotto. The steak was medium rare, tender, and delicious. Parmesan Risotto was also delicious. The menu pictures are current as of 10-11-25.

I’ve been to Blupoint three times now. The food is extraordinarily great and the staff members are even better!

The menu and pricing is for a high end restaurant, but that's not the experience. The service was not bad but was not on par for what you pay. It took 1.5 hours for us to get meals for 3 people. We had the sword fish, sea bass, and the steak medallion pasta. The fish dishes were fine but had little flavor including the risotto they come with. The pasta tasted essentially like blue cheese only, and the steak pieces were overcooked and tough. Nothing had any depth of flavor.

The bright spot of our meal was the crab cakes appetizers, and the drinks we had. They were all delicious: pistachio (dessert in a glass), Frenchy (very citrusy), basil drop (subbed vodka for gin), and spring harvest (subbed vodka for gin). Spring harvest and basil drop were our favorites.

Not impressed by the atmosphere or quality at the price point. Waited a long time for service despite being seated. Dish was undercooked, portions are very small, sides were cold. Some requests were not delivered at all. Too expensive for something that isn’t complete, needs more work.

Absolutely awful place to waste your money, especially for a special occasion, as they obviously do Not care. The mixed drinks were unpalatable, the host was rude, the lobster was very undercooked and they did Nothing about it. All in all, the vibe was atrocious and def NOT worth the bang for the buck. Had such high hopes, as it looked amazing online, but it certainly fell short of expectations. Will not be back.

The crab cakes were perfection and the seafood risotto was the best I’ve ever had. Must try !

OUTSTANDING... We were celebrating our 40th Anniversary. From the time we came in through the front door until we left the whole staff made us feel special. We knew we had made the correct choice for our special evening.
The atmosphere and ambiance were perfect. Everyone that interacted with us were very kind and accommodating . Our server was spot on and helpful.
The food was OMG good... We tried a little of a lot of dishes. There is still so much more we want to try. Wife had the Blupoint salad and I had the Duo black tiger shrimp appetizer. ( shrimp cerviche & shrimp cocktail). It could have been an entrée in itself. Wife has became a shrimp cerviche convert..She had a Chilean Sea Bass with parmesean risotto. I had a medium rare Ribeye and loaded baked potato. It was cooked very well and was very tender. It was a nice cut of meat. Wine, margarita and even tequila made an appearance. The margarita was really good. We did do a deconstructed key lime dessert.
We are making plans for another night very soon...
Thank You Blupoint...

Very Accessible and wheelchair friendly...

Superb. Upscale. Excellent service. My wife and I had crab cakes for starter. We split the fire grilled filet mignon (we're not big eaters) with baked potato (oiled and salted ... NOT foil wrapped!), and asparagus (grilled with a butter sauce). Perfect medium rare steak about 8oz. Top drawer dinner. Sparkling San Pellegrino. All for about $100. Very pleasant staff. Concerned and dedicated... not pushy.
