Pointe Grille Mediterranean Kitchen

We went to the Sunday Brunch buffet today and it was wonderful! It was my mother-in-laws birthday and they gave her a handwritten birthday card (yes, a birthday card) and a dessert plate with a candle. The view and service was amazing and the food even better.

I don 't like to yelp any business. If I have a complaint I will email them directly and hope they will respond. However, I recently had an experience at the Blu Point restaurant in Newburgh , NY that needs to be addressed. They did respond with an insincere computer generated apology, asking that I please email them at a particular site. I did, twice, and got no response. So here 's my review of the Blu Point. Overpriced and sub par food. My son ordered lobster lollipops, on a block of Himalayan sea salt. Nice try on presentation but over $30 for three one biters. I ordered the lobster escargot. 5 one bite pieces of lobster in escargot pots, terrible sauce, over $30. My husband ordered the cheese board and got a few squares of brie, three little accoutrements on an oversized board. Way over $30. I ordered the sole. Inedible. The sauce tasted like a souped up Lipton soup, served over a pound of angel hair pasta. Our waiter, Chris, was excellent and very professional. When I opted to not send it back he and my son) encouraged me to do so. Chris actually asked if it was the sauce. He knew. I did get another order of soul with broccoli which was barely fresh, yellow underneath) My husband ordered the rib eye. I doubt it was that cut. It came out looked very unappetizing, almost grey, undercooked. A side of mashed. No vegetables. My son ordered the Branzino. A better choice. Not great but ok. $345 for lunch -no coffee/dessert. So the reason for this yelp is that I did try to contact them twice on a bogus computer generated apology. Not a good way to do business! Plenty of good restaurants in the area, steer clear of this one.

I have been here a few times before with great service and food. Last Wednesday we brought a friend from out if town. The atmosphere was great with seats with a river view unfortunately after that things were less than good. The food was mediocre and service was terrible. Ordered a wine that never came. Asked for crushed red pepper and it came after meal was almost finished. This is a pretty expensive restaurant and for the price we paid it was very disappointing. They were also out of very popular dishes. Will not return.

Went here twice in a week because of their great range of options for everyone in our group. Some wanted sushi some wanted fish, oysters, king crab, pasta, meat plus good wine selections and cocktails the service is outstanding i gotta say they are extremely attentiveand it really adds to the experience. The view of the Hudson is very nice, seat by it.

UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP! The menu and the food and the service have all had a face lift!! It 's been a long time since I 've come here bc I was pretty disappointed in my last anniversary dinner with my husband. Today my girlfriends and I decided to take a chance on a beautiful night and a happy hour menu! We were able to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful view! We are locals and are sooooo excited about this change. Management truly cares about pleasing the customers and we had a wonderful experience. We sat at the outdoor bar and had the sliders to start. We ordered them medium. 1 of 3 happened to come out Med Rare and my friend wasn 't able to eat it, they made it right and brought us a new plate of sliders. Then we ordered South African lobster tails to share .....yes $79, but 3 tails! There were 3 of us so we shared this and it was delish (and came with 2 sides)! I also tried the pork taco (HH menu) and it was so good a lil spicy, which I love. So excited to come back. Next time I 'm trying the short rib gnocchi...I 'm so pleased with the turf menu!!! Can 't wait!!
