Seafood was extremely fresh and light, enjoyed having many options to choose from. It is BYOB however if you forget there is a liquor store 1 min down the street. I highly suggest getting the clams oregenata as an appetizer. Every single dessert was delectable. Would come back again!

Came here for restaurant week and they had a prefix menu so you got to pick from a lot of different options-- had the seafood ciopinno, jalepeno lime shrimp and tiramisu for dessert. Everything was very fresh. ALL of the seafood. I just prefer spicy food so I do wish the jalepeno shrimp was more spicy than sweet but regardless it was still good. The service is fast and they were really nice to seat me last minute. I hear the oysters are great-- didn't get to try.

If you love fresh seafood and quite a selection of it, along with a raw bar and BYOB, then this is your place! We travel out to Princeton at least twice a year to eat at Blue Point Grill and that is saying a lot because we are about 50 minutes away! We have been coming here for several years without disappointment, exactly what you want in a seafood restaurant - quality and consistency! Staff is always fast and friendly. Atmosphere is warm and in-town charming. Cons: it can get a bit loud at times and parking on the weekend can lead to a 5 minute hike. Overall, our favorite seafood restaurant.

Calling all seafood lovers~*~*~* Blue Point Grill is a BYOB establishment that takes pride in serving only the freshest catches available! The ambiance is casual and lively with both indoor and outdoor seating. I recommend making reservations! Their menu changes daily, so they have rotating dinner specials and mixed grills. What really stood out to me was the variety of seafood they offered on their menu. They have options that I don't regularly see at other restaurants such as monkfish, swordfish, corvina, and Arctic char. They still have your basics like salmon, lobster tail, shrimp, and oysters. Each entree also includes a side of your choice. We ordered... *Grilled Calamari $16 - I'm a fried calamari girly, so I didn't expect to love the grilled version as much as I did. This appetizer was 5 stars alone! The texture was firm and chewy. Miss me with that rubbery nonsense. *Bronzini Francaise with side of french fries $42 - This entree was a Mediterranean seabass with citrus mustard cream sauce. The meat was tender, flaky, and semi-sweet which paired well with the sauce. The fries were nice and crispy! *Florida Red Snapper with side of garlic mashed potatoes $49 - This was highly recommended by our server and I can see why! The red snapper was perfectly seasoned and had a mild, but sweet taste. You can tell how fresh it was. The garlic mashed potatoes were delishhhhhhh! *Key Lime Pie $11 - Perfect flavor profile that combined tartness and sweetness. Not only was the entire meal amazing from start to finish, but so was the service. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations. He checked in on us to make sure we were enjoying our meal and having a good time. I wish I didn't live over an hour away so I could come here more often!

The Blue Point Grill was an extraordinary experience. Street parking could be tricky so, make sure that you pull into their parking lot, adjacent to the building. The restaurant is nicely decorated, the tables are comfortably spaced apart, and I was impressed with the warm covered outdoor seating. There were plenty of customers enjoying this seating. I have to start by mentioning how awesome our server, Gustavo, treated us. He gave great recommendations, answered our questions in detail, and made the meal comfortable and memorable. We started with one of my favorite appetizers, Grilled Calamari. The calamari was absolutely delicious, the firmness was optimal, and the lemony sauce added to the perfect selection for a starter. Since this is a "seafood" restaurant, we chose two seafood entrees. The first was the Florida Red Snapper, with garlic mashed potatoes ($49.00). The second was the Bronzini Filet Francaise, with fries ($42.00). I cannot commend both of these dishes, enough. Both were succulent, flaky, perfectly seasoned, and delicious. Both are highly recommended. For dessert, we shared the Sweet Mama's Key Lime Pie ($11.00) and, once again, it was a wonderful choice. It was adorned with a blackberry and two dollops of whipped cream. Another highly recommended item. I capped off the meal with my favorite, Double Espresso ($6.00), with a side of cold milk. Please, do not hesitate to visit Blue Point Grill and enjoy every aspect of a superb meal.

Blue Point is getting downright boring. No, not because the menu or service is slipping but because inexplicably... they're not. Yes, it helps to avoid the weekend when the place is bursting at the seams but I can't remember the last time that I was disappointed here. From top to bottom, the menu is superb and you never feel the need to send out a Saint Bernard to have your water glass refilled. And you know what the best part is, when the bill arrives you never ever wonder what the hell I just paid for. Five enduring stars.

We had our anniversary dinner here. We were very happy with our meal. Fish was fresh and delicious. Calamari was crisp. The steak was cooked to perfection. Dessert was the perfect ending to a great meal. They have indoor, outdoor dining, and a rooftop. Server was great. Attentive and quick It's a BYOB kind of place. Had a great meal. Will definitely come back.

Our hostesses were very welcoming from the moment we walked in. We sat outside in an enclosed patio, they also have seating upstairs that is outside. The patio has heaters so the temperature was nice for dinner. I will definitely be coming back when it gets warmer. Our waitress was so nice and very knowledgeable. We were between a few options for dinner and asked for suggestions. She answered all of our questions and was super friendly. I would love to have her again. Now for the food. They brought us bread and butter to start. For my entree, I was between five different options that all sounded amazing. I ended up ordering the corvina fish that had a lemon caper sauce on top of it with a baked potato. My dinner was a good portion and it was absolutely delicious. It was nice to try a different type of fish from what you normally see on a menu. There are so many options for seafood lovers here! There are land lover options as well, however this is a place to come for seafood. I will absolutely be back!
