We’ve been a few times and food has always been good, but last night everything was excellent! It was so good my wife is heading back Saturday night for a birthday dinner. There were items she didn’t order that she wants to try.

My husband and I are from Concord New Hampshire, drove over an hour to go to the point as we had not been there in a few years and remembered how good it was. The food was absolutely horrible.
As a chef by trade I couldn’t possibly believe the calamari they sent to our table. The calamari Was so small that all it looked like was a bunch of tiny little circles, breaded, and almost burnt on our plate. You could’ve been eating anything, you didn’t even know it was calamari that’s how small it was then my husband ordered a burger., was not cooked med well. It was well done! Now let’s talk about the french fries. I can’t imagine how french fries could look worse. Now we have all seen 8 million kinds of french fries served in restaurants. These were the ones with the skin on obviously they were cold and so burnt I couldn’t believe it. However, the two drinks we got were very good and the service was good. Such a shame I would never go back there and was going to call there this morning and Speak to someone, but decided to leave a review instead. I don’t know what happened to this restaurant over the last few years but,,,,, I won’t be driving back

Went Saturday (6/21) evening. The biggest issue - it was freezing in there! So cold the food came to the table - it was cold (steak crustini's, taquito's). So the food was 1 star. When I mentioned the temperature to my server, she said, the guys bartending run hot so they turn down the temp real low. I told her, that's too bad, because we wanted more drinks. The Poynt needs to think about things like this - the couple next to me was sitting in a hoodie and jacket - it was 87 degrees out. I won't be going back in the Summer time. 😄

Excellent service, Excellent food and drinks! We were not disappointed! It was a short walk from our hotel, and there was no wait.

We had dinner at the Poynt last night. We have been many times before, but last night my husband’s medium rare burger was way over cooked and grey :( and included thick slabs of raw red onion. My stack tacos tasted like dirty grill grease and the steak was grizzly, very fatty and not fresh at all. I still have a stomach ache. It was a very disappointing dinner. The beer was good…

I give this place 10 stars if it let me! My husband and I came in and sat at the bar. Service was immediate! We got chicken taquitos and a burger. All the food was bomb, the service the whole time was attentive and friendly. It’s hard to find good service now a day but this was hospitality.

I would go again the food was very good, and I mentioned to the server that it was my friend's birthday we ordered a dessert and there was a candle on it. Very nice

Is this a joke? If I could add a pic of what the website showed versus what I got. It’s a joke. Won’t order again. Screwing people that order for delivery will never work. Get off the app if you’re gonna defraud people. Ridiculous. Used to be a fan…. No longer gonna get screwed. Trust me… don’t look at the menu and think they are gonna deliver that. Save a few bucks to lose customers. PATHETIC!
