Blue Point Grille

Went here for a holiday dinner with my family. The service was excellent, and the food was fantastic. My dad is a really picky eater and he loved it! Will definitely be back!

The lobster bisque is absolutely AMAZING!!!

Stopped in for happy hour on Friday. Plan was to sample, have a few drinks and visit.
First round was some raw selections. The oysters were the best I have ever eaten. Scrimp were good, crab claws were too much work for me.
Second round was walleye sandwich. Fish was good, bun was really good but the «slaw» that was on top had a very miss matched cut of ingredients on it. Fries were very crispy which is critical for me!
Third round was the bacon cheese burger. To my surprise it was really good. Cooked perfectly.
Bartender was great. She kept dishes and glasses picked up. She came by enough but never got in the way of our conversation.
My only surprise was $ 8.50 for a well drink during happy hour caught me off guard when the bill arrived. I understand it is downtown.
It was a perfect evening great food and company.

Can we just talk about happy hour for a minute? Not only does Blue Point have weekday happy specials, but they offer their amazing happy hour menu Sunday from 4:00 to close!!! Great service, amazing food and drink, and a really fantastic atmosphere. The bar area, is super cozy too– hello great winter warm-​up spot!!!
This place doesn’t disappoint!

I joined 3 friends for an early dinner at Blue Point Grille on Jan. 23, 2016. The comfortable seating arrangements (tables not too close to each other) allowed for plenty of space for all diners. The server was really good at her job, making us feel really comfortable and explaining questions we had about entrees. Each of us had an appetizer and all were very fresh and enjoyable. The bread is served crispy on the outside and nice and warm and soft on the inside. It’s made by Breadsmith, a Lakewood, OH local bakery. Lots of honey-​butter was served with our bread, and it was not too sweet – just right. I had a 12 oz. strip steak which was not done quite enough for my taste, so it was quickly taken away to be cooked a bit more. I was immediately provided with 3 large shrimp with cocktail sauce served on a bed of crushed ice so I had something to eat (at no cost to me) while my friends ate their entrees. This simple yet thoughtful gesture (providing me something to nibble on while I waited for my steak to be cooked a bit more) was a first-​class touch. My steak came back quickly, cooked a bit more and perfect for my tastes. (I would much rather send a steak back to be cooked a bit more than to get it overdone.) The asparagus and roasted, small Klondike rose potatoes that accompanied my steak were excellent. The demi-​glaze that came with my steak was the best I’ve had. Overall, my experience was pretty wonderful.

My husband Ordered a martini last week and the server later asked if «I had a hole in my glass» and he said «no you only filled it half way.» No apology but if paying blue point prices, it seems reasonable to expect more than 50% fill.

My first time here was for happy hour. I recommend going early as happy hour specials are only valid at the bar counter. While it is a bigger sized U-​shaped bar, all the seats filled up on the Tuesday night I visited and some people were standing. (As an aside one thing that stood out as being unique was that the bar seats were actually plush and really comfortable.)
There was only one bartender at the time. I was one of the first few people there so she quickly got me a menu and a drink and set the placement for my friend and I. As the bar filled up though it was probably 15 minutes before she came back to take our food orders.
The main reason I went was for the $ 1 Blue Point Oysters. I got 12 of these bigger oysters and was quite happy with them! It was a delicious sight to be seen! I also tried the $ 6 C.A.B. burger which was served with cheddar, applewood smoked bacon and the usual lettuce/​tomato. The burger came with fries and a Blue Point special ketchup which I liked. I was definitely impressed with the burger option.
All in all the food was great and I will keep this place high on my list of happy hours. While oysters to me were the star attraction there were other items, though all seafood based burger aside, on the small menu.
Happy hour is 3−630pm M-​F and also on Sundays which is a fun change from 4−10pm.

Sunday night dinner for two and we couldn’t have enjoyed it more. Waiter was great (Mark) and the manager even stopped by to see how things were.
Started with the oyster sampler. We love oysters and there were 8 nice oysters of four different kinds. Unlike some samplers, you could really tell the difference between each type (brininess, meatiness, shape, etc.)
My wife has the lobster tail and I had the tuna. Both were excellent, although there was a little too much salt in the cauliflower purée that bedded the tuna.
Bread /​butter was even good with some sort of nice honey infused butter.
And even better — could have possibly the fastest bartender in the midwest. Ordered a drink and it showed up 30 seconds later. Nice job!
Definitely recommend for an upscale night out and we would definitely visit again.

Went here with a party of 8 for my birthday and was not impressed at all.
First, the good: service was great. The waiter was attentive and we were seated at the time of our reservation.
As for food: Stick to the lobster bisque and oysters, avoid any entrée.
⁶⁄₈ people in our party did not like their meal AT ALL, the other two said it was «ok».
After waiting almost an hour to be served, all three people that got «Blue Pointe Heaven» were not happy. One was sent back entirely, but it had been so late she didn’t want anything else, and two were so hungry by the time the meals came out they picked their way through overcooked seafood and terrible mashed lobster less potatoes, which I still swear were instant. I got the commodore and was underwhelmed by the filet, overcooked lobster, and devoured the one thing that wasn’t ruined: the asparagus.
Everything else was just mediocre at best, not even remotely worth the price. The manager apologized, did take money off the bill, however the meal was already beyond ruined. Clearly, the meals sat too long, and the preparation was nothing special, I’ve had better seafood and steak at chain restaurants. We definitely won’t be back. Having one bad meal in a party of 8 wouldn’t be devastating, but when the majority of the table describes their $ 40 – 70 meal as «ok» it’s unacceptable.

Such a beautiful place! Great feel and vibe to it as well. Ate at the bar and had the walleye sandwich. The French fries that come with the sandwich are absolutely excellent — among the best in a long time for me — they are fresh cut. The walleye sandwich was very good. Wouldn’t say it was excellent but definitely worthy of 4 stars. One annoying factor was that it came with a jalapeño tartar sauce. This was not mentioned on the menu or by the bartender when I ordered the sandwich. I absolutely HATE when restaurants do not disclose that an item is either spicy, hot or has some other ingredient in it that a customer may not care for. Somehow this new breed of chefs has determined what we should like and they figure that we will eat what they prepare and how they prepare it without exception. Wrong! Be careful if you do come and don’t be afraid to ask questions about the menu.

Blue Point is officially my new favorite upscale restaurant downtown. We had the best service all the way through! Ginormous wine list and amazing seafood. We had one of the seafood towers to start and I was shocked at how fresh it all was! The lobster mash is AMAZE.
The only thing I wouldn’t order again is the Brussels sprouts.

We visited Blue Point Grille on Saturday, September 19^th. We made reservations for 7:30. We got there a little early so we could sit at the bar and have a drink. The bar tender was fantastic and made a great dirty martini.
We were seated just as we ordered our second martini. Or server Kim was outstanding. She made great recommendations and stopped us from over ordering apps. We started with the Lobster Bisque and 8 Blue Point Oysters. Kim recommended we split the soup. It was unbelievable. Thick, rich, and the lobster was tender and tasty. The oysters were so tender. The were perfect!
For our entrees, we ordered the Filet Oscar and Blue Point Heaven (I think that was the name). The filet was cooked perfectly medium and the crab was delicious. The Blue Point Heaven included a lobster tail, scallops and shrimp. All were cooked perfect and delicious. For sides, we got the lemon and crab risotto (YUM) and lobster mashed potato (a little disappointing — the were cold which Kim tried to fix very quick by bringing out another plate — the were only slightly warm).
The atmosphere was great. We were pretty close to the table next to us but it wasn’t too bad. All in all a great dining experience. Highly recommended.

Probably my favorite happy hour place in Cleveland and to make it even happier it’s happy hour all day on Sunday. By the name you can guess it’s a seafood joint, and appeared like a classy joint for classy broads. Bartender and waiters were fun with goo suggestions. Seafood was balls out fresh, oysters were clean without sand. Also had a salmon Caesar salad and the salmon was perfect moist and tender! Also had crab legs which resembled dungeness but was called something else (sorry brain fart right now). Prices were very reasonable. I used to like to do 65 cent oysters on Wednesdays at a place just across the street but this place has ruined it and now I can’t go anywhere else

This is one of few fancy and upscale dining restaurant’s which I came across in downtown (warehouse district).The place is very well laid out with formal and booth dining on one side & casual/​bar seating on the other side.
Upon entering the establishment I was quickly greeted and walked over to lunch seating.
They menu is not that exhaustive but had quite a lot of interesting seafood items.
I went with «Fast» lunch menu which comes with a soup & salad with entrée.($ 17)
Choose tomato soup with blackened salmon fish (blackened was done on my request).
The soup though a small portion was delicious. Salmon was good but the portion was very small.
Salad was well seasoned, service was good and on par.

One of my favorite places in Cleveland for happy hour! $ 1 Blue Point oysters $ 2 HUGE shrimp cocktail $ 5 martinis… I mean it can’t be beat. Not to mention my go to grilled salmon Caesar salad that is delicious and only $ 7 at happy hour. Make sure to stop by 3 – 6:30 mon-​fri or all day Sunday!!! Almost forgot the lobster risotto… so creamy and chunks of lobster! Yum

Went here for a business lunch. We all ordered off of the Spa menu (450 calories or less). It was very fresh and healthy.
We ordered:
Ahi Tuna — perfect
Salmon
Sea Bass
They came with rice and steamed broccoli. For around $ 20.
We also ordered the tomato bisque and someone got lobster bisque — TO DIE FOR!
They were very accommodating about gluten allergies as well :)

We were reluctant to eat seafood in Cleveland but our concerns were put to rest after the first course. We started with the shrimp cocktail which is presented uniquely in that the sauce and the horse radish are separate enabling patrons to choose the «heat factor». The waitress described the lobster bisque as liquid gold, and she was right. It was savory despite being lighter than most.
I had the filet oscar with Brussels sprouts. Everything was prepared as requested. The sprouts were delicious despite not being overly greasy (which is common for that dish). You can’t go wrong with Blue Point Grill.

I love Blue Point. How could you not? It’s classy, beautiful, and a special place for a nice occasion.
Or, you could do what we did, and just go for drinks and dessert. We sat at the bar, where the bartender was so kind and friendly. We ordered the chocolate sampler, with white chocolate ice cream, flourless cake, chocolate mousse and a peanut butter bar, and a couple glasses of wine. It was the perfect end to a long week. Can’t beat it!

This place has an elegant atmosphere especially if you get to sit on the second floor. They have valet parking for 8 $. I really enjoyed the salmon though I did send it back to be cooked through a bit more, but the accompanying risotto with citrus/​lemon flavors was delicious. Their bread and butter are also memorable. The crème brûlée was small and rich, but good. Nice place for when you want to celebrate an occasion.

Came here for happy hour. Great prices! Seating is at the bar only. Was not too busy when we went; plenty of room, and no wait time.
Loved the mimosa drink thingy that I ordered from the happy hour menu. Bf also enjoyed his Three Philosopher beer. Ordered 1 oyster (can’t comment too much on as I guess I am not an oyster person like I thought I would be, lol) — just tasted like oyster. Ordered mussels, which were very very good. Wish they gave me a spoon for the sauce — I loved the sauce, and was using mussel shells to try to scoop up as much as I could. Loved the bread slices that came with the mussels. Would come back just for that. Bf ordered a burger — good, nothing special to note. I got the lobster and crab roll, which I guess I had higher expectations for. Wish it had more flavor… but maybe that’s what they’re supposed to taste like?
Bottom line: good price for happy hour; get the mussels!
