Weekend brunch was delicious and not crowded at all. Friendly service and easy parking will make this a place we come back to. We had the chicken and waffles and the carnitas benedict with polenta instead of the English muffin. Highly recommend.

This place is exactly what I needed. It's chill and quiet. I had the ahi tuna appetizer and it was delicious. The bartender was nice and attentive. I will go back.

First time in after living here for 5 years. I wasn’t missing anything. Food is decent. Unimpressive like most of SC food scene. Came for the ribs. Adequate. Not a fan of the sauce but fell off bone in form! Coleslaw was bland and tasted like I was eating textured mayonnaise. French fries were average.Bread pudding was biggest disappointment. Dry, bland.Can believe I just spent almost $100 hereWon’t be back

I recently visited The Point Kitchen and Bar after hearing about its transformation from a previous restaurant. The new interior design is impressive, with a particularly great feature being the rollup doors that open out to the outside, providing a fresh and airy dining experience.During my visit with a larger party, we tried a variety of dishes and were quite pleased. I personally enjoyed the burger with garlic fries, finding it delicious. Others in my group raved about the salmon Benedict, Cobb salad, schnitzel sandwich, and huevos rancheros as well.The establishment offers outdoor seating in a charming patio area, a bar for sports enthusiasts, and ample parking in their parking lot. The service was noteworthy, especially considering the size of our group. Our food arrived promptly, fresh, and flavorful.I would recommend giving The Point Kitchen and Bar a try if you find yourself in the area. It's a great spot for good food, a pleasant atmosphere, and attentive service.

Lovely outdoor patio! Service was timely and engaging; food hit the spot.My partner had the bacon wrapped gorgonzola dates, the jam burger + fries, and kombucha. I got the filet mignon, and we split a key lime pie. Flavors were well-balanced and intense. We went there for lunch, and were still surprisingly full when dinner time rolled around.Wheelchair accessibility: Outdoor patio has very easy access

I eat here often. Everything I've had has been good. Sometimes, they need two tries to get it right, so be patient. It is worth it. Good food. Good value.

Food was great. I had chicken. My mom had fish tacos and my brother had ceviche and the non-alcoholic drinks were great to. They are pet friendly, and very easy to find my mom also mentioned that the bathrooms are really clean which she likes overall our server, she was very spunky, and she was great, willing to work with us especially for my mom because she can’t eat too much food with salt. Great experience would highly recommend this place.
