Blu Pointe

Visited Blu Pointe this summer for a dinner with friends. We started inside at the bar during a very busy Happy Hour for really fun, delicious drinks. Their beverage menu is so creative! Bartenders were great. We transferred into a table for dinner down a short ramp to the enclosed outdoor dining room/patio. We shared delicious appetizers, our meals were wonderful and we shared desserts. The drinks were excellent as was the service. Blu Pointe is a class act. If you’re going for Happy Hour in the bar area or dinner inside, you’re sure to be pleased with their consistent, quality delivery of food, beverages, & a fine dining experience.

Perfect date night with my boyfriend! Mussel basket was amazing!! Steak was perfect. Burrata salad was an eye opening experience (tried Burrata in multiple locations but this was the most delicious and savoury burrata). I also loved the complimentary bread and butter! Will come back for sure (Updates) Ok I came back here again with my boyfriend and this time we tried porkchop, calamari and cheeseboard!!!!! AMAZING!!!!

We visited Blue Pointe Café on Sunday around 7 PM without a reservation and were seated outside by the bar with an amazing view. The service was absolutely top-notch! We tried the lobster mac and cheese and the Blue Point sushi roll - both were super delicious. The crispy calamari was great as well, though the Rockefeller oysters were my least favorite. For dessert, we had the amaretto crème brûlée, which was good. Overall, fantastic atmosphere, great food, and excellent service. Highly recommend!

Went to celebrate my birthday and loved all about it. The drinks were great, the food, the service, the river view. I'm looking forward to my next visit and maybe try their brunch, I hear is amazing.

Normally go in warmer months and start the meal at the outdoor bar but too cold for that this time. Food was as good as normal and the wait staff was happy and helpful. Definitely a place to go back to.

Stopped by this restaurant hoping for a memorable evening, and in some ways, it delivered. The staff were genuinely kind and attentive, and the view of the Hudson River was absolutely stunning. The bar had a great vibe too, perfect for unwinding with a cocktail. Unfortunately, the food didn’t quite match the ambiance. We ordered the fish and chicken dishes, and while they were okay, they lacked the flavor and finesse we were hoping for. Nothing was outright bad, just... underwhelming. If you're looking for a scenic spot with great service and a solid drink menu, this place is worth a visit. But if you're coming primarily for the food, you might leave a little disappointed.

Spent my birthday here. The lobster 🦞 mac and cheese 🧀 was to die for... Cheesecake was pretty good too! I was busy enjoying my self so I didnt hey many photos of the food. Pictures are from an iPhone not my S24 ultra as usual 🤧 very cool full moom too Servers were nice, great view, cant complain...

Nothing short of amazing! Everything about this dinner experience was above expectations. The service here was exceptional. Tahmias took excellent care of our every need. The food was incredible. There were primarily seafood selections on the menu, but other options were also available. However, I am confident that no matter what you order from their menu, the food served to you at the table will be flavorful and delicious. Enjoy your experience there as we did. 😋😁

Fantabulous! The ONLY PLACE IN NEWBURGH I GO TO when I'm feeling to be social. All my business meetings are there which is great as I live the atmosphere. This time though the service was horrendous and I'm grateful Michael stepped in to get this sorted out without making a scene. But I feel like folks shouldn't have to get APE SHIT in business attire to get someone to serve you at least a drink of Sauvignon Blanc. Only two glasses which is wild that it would take someone so long to bring through. Among other misses and the absolutely rude waiter who stepped in a few times (green blue eye goblin). Anyway. If they could work through culture you'll see how many more meetings will pass thru there. Talking with an Italian passport and real hair on my head because I feel a little tension every single time I've been there otherwise...

We went to blu pointe for dinner on sunday evening, the place was beautiful (hostess was very sweet and friendly). We requested to sit outside and the views were beautiful. Drinks (very good, $15-19) old fashion (butter) was my fav. My wife kept it simple with a sour apple martini (they forgot the sour). Appetizer was amazing (tuna tartar), large portion (def feeds 2-3ppl). Steaks cooked to perfection (no complaints). Only downside was our waiter. No where to be found. The adjoining tables at one point said "can someone else pls help us". Maybe it was one of those days but for the price you are paying, I expected more. The runners were very helpful and picked up the slack when you requested anything. Overall 3 1/2 only bc of the service, food was amazing

Excellent!!! From the drinks to the food to the service to the beautiful Hudosn River views, Blue Pointe was the place to celebrate my Birthday lunch. Every single dish was on point. I have been telling everyone how amazing my experience was and would recommend hands down. Looking forward to my next visit.

Here's the deal. This location is a true gem on the Hudson River in Newburgh, New York... Great in the warmer months for some outside patio dining, and bar area. The internal restaurant does a great job on service and also has a variety of quality item menus great for a date, a special occasion or a group dinner

So my husband and I are here last night. It was pouring rain and they had a prom in the area as well as a few birthday parties so it was packed. However, we were able to be seated. Too bad we couldn't sit outside because the view of the Hudson is absolutely breathtaking. Nonetheless we ordered fried calamari with hot peppers and it was delicious. I ordered seared scallops which were cooked too well done, corn which was more like polenta and I don't like polenta, and grilled zucchini and squash which was decent. I wouldn't order it again though. My husband ordered steak which he said was tough, garlic mashed potatoes which were good, and creamed spinach. My stomach was very disappointed at my entree. Next time I am going back to my crab cake appetizer for my entree. This way I can order the crème brûlée which is to die for.

Stopped by for a business dinner and it was an amazing experience. We were sat right doen right away and we were seated outdoors the weather was perfect with the view of the river. Its a beautiful restaurant with amazing views. The food was excellent well prepared and was made perfectly cannot ask for more than that! Definitely will return!

Beautifully set on the Hudson down on the waterfront of Newburgh. The restaurant provides a nice environment for an evening out with someone special. This was my first time visiting many have raved about the brunch and happy hour so we were curious about their dinner service. We ordered some drinks an appetizer and meal. The price was extremely more than we expected to pay for the quality of what we received. The King crab legs were unseasoned and tasted as though they were freezer burned. The grilled sea bass was tender and flaky but the sides left much to be wanted as it was laid on a bed of ramen. Lobster dip appetizer was delicious creamy with nice chunks of meat. Both drinks were good but it seemed I paid more for the presentation of them as the fog over the Hudson is presented in a case with an actual rolling fog as they open it to present to your table. Novel idea but wouldn't order again. The staff was lovely great attention to our table and very helpful. Typically travel to shadows on the Hudson which I found out is the same owner so was taken back by the price discrepancy between the two restaurants. We will give happy hour a shot but most likely will not be returning for dinner.

Blue Pointe is one of my favorite places for a special celebration. Their birthday cards is one of my favorite hospitality touches. Whether you're celebrating or just looking for a nice dining experience, they won't disappoint. The service and food are a perfect matched for the beautiful dining experience. Best brunch in the area too! Awesome variety and the buffet is nicely set and serviced well.

Blu Pointe is a gem on the Newburgh waterfront. While the indoor ambiance is cozy and upscale, the outdoor dining area truly steals the show with its breathtaking views of the Hudson River, the surrounding mountains, and the Beacon Bridge. It's the perfect setting whether you're meeting a friend, client, or enjoying a date--day or night. The inside bar is elegant and well-stocked, and the whole place gives off a grown folks vibe without feeling too formal. You can still dress casual and feel right at home.

The food is consistently delicious, whether you're just grabbing a few appetizers with a glass of wine or settling in for a full meal. The service is always friendly and professional, which makes the experience even better. Great spot for good conversation, good drinks, and even better views. Highly recommend!

So I recently took my parents to Blu Pointe to celebrate their 52nd anniversary. I made a reservation for 5 including my 2 children. Now, my mother is a vegan. It's very difficult for her to go out to eat unless it's a vegan place. However, the view here was beautiful and when I called I asked if they could accommodate her dietary needs. They said they would be able to. The restaurant is beautiful and lively. If you're coming here for dinner, make sure you get a reservation. Even with one we waited about 10 minutes. That's ok but we would still be waiting for a table without a reservation. For the food. It was excellent. For an appetizer, we got crab cakes, French Onion soup which contains beef broth, two of their vegan dishes which were the Beet Salad and Eggplant Caponata. All were very good though my mother said the Eggplant was a bit salty. For main courses, they made my mother a pasta dish with roasted vegetables. She said it was very good. My father had the Steak Au Poivre, I had the fettuccini with shrimp, my daughter had the Lobster Mac and Cheese, I also ordered the Blu Point Sushi Roll, and my son ordered off their kids menu and had chicken tenders and French fries. It was all really good. For dessert, my mother just had coffee with almond milk. I had the sticky toffee cake, my father had the crème brûlée, my daughter the cheese cake and my son chocolate ice cream. Again, all really good though the ice cream scoop was really really tiny. We were not charged for it but I'm not sure if it's because they gave a "kids" size. The service was excellent. The waitstaff was attentive, polite, and kind. It was some of the best service I had. The place was very very busy so I was surprised how efficiently and gracefully the waitstaff worked. I can say on this day the service was excellent. Would I recommend this restaurant? Absolutely. Especially if it's for a date or a special occasion. But I'm going to warn everyone to please make reservations or you'll probably be waiting a while for a table.

The food, the service, and the atmosphere at Blu Pointe were all excellent. We dined on the patio and as luck would have it, we had a beautiful unseasonably warm November evening, so the wall of windows overlooking the Hudson were open. The photo included was taken from our table. The service was attentive and professional. And the food was delicious. We enjoyed the cheese plate as an appetizer. I had a cod puttanesca special, and my husband had the swordfish entree. We enjoyed glasses of a French Picpoul which was among several white wines available by the glass. We were really glad we came here while visiting the area for the weekend. If you plan to visit here on a weekend night, know that the restaurant and bar appear popular. We made a reservation about two weeks ahead. Please note that you may need to pay to park in the metered lots across the street, as their adjacent parking lot is small and shared with another restaurant. The cost was nominal and the pay stations accept credit cards. We had no trouble finding a spot at 5:30 on a Friday.

Blu Pointe is one of our absolute favorite restaurants in the Hudson Valley -- it's been our go-to for celebration dinners for the past decade. Service here is always impeccable, and the views of the Hudson, Mt. Beacon/Fishkill Ridge, and the Newburgh-Beacon-Bridge can't be beat. Their menu does rotate, but they do have a few legacy items that stick around, including their "regular" seafood selection, which we've always enjoyed. A few oysters on the half shell or a whole tower--both (or any option in between) are excellent choices for seafood lovers. I'm a huge fan of their espresso martini, while husband loves their cappuccinos, which (usually) are served with a cute (and practical) rock sugar stirrer. The Blu Pointe roll is another menu mainstay that I'd recommend, and the lobster mac and cheese never disappoints - it's always a hit with our boys. Tips: - If you plan on dining here during a holiday week (so the big ones + things like Mother's Day, for example), make your reservations early. They do have online reservations, but I've had better luck calling. - For the best views, ask for a table on the terrace.

Great service food and location on water is great. All in all an outstanding restaurant

Service was impeccable! wait staff, expediters and bus boys were all most attentive. Food was DELICIOUS--started with lump crab and oysters, then progressed to sole and braised short rib (both OMG!) well, worth the extravagance! Profiteroles (dessert) were OK... chou pastry was kinda chewy. Only real disappointment was that table could have been better situated--asked for nice view of River and got view of bussing station.

I had such high hopes for this restaurant after seeing photos of guests seated along the water and reading about the fresh seafood, I'm just not sure if we came on an off day and ordered the wrong thing. Pros: The appetizers are HUGE. We ordered two appetizers without the knowledge that the serving size could easily be a meal, so when our plates came we were in disbelief. We even mentioned to the waiter "We wish you warned us that the appetizers were this big, because this was way too much for two people." The raw oysters were also fresh, clean & a good size. Cons: While the raw seafood was fresh, we are unsure if the cooked seafood dishes were previously frozen. We had ordered the king crab legs as a main course - something we hadn't tried in the past. The amount of crab seemed decent for the price, but since we had never had this we had no way of knowing if it was as fresh as it should have been. The crab was rubbery and dry (a common indicator that seafood is overcooked), had no flavor (concerning since crab should be slightly sweet) and had a cleaning chemical like smell to it. Some legs were better than others, but overall don't know if this was a normal experience or if the crab just wasn't good quality. The calamari appetizer was meh, the squid itself felt overcooked and rubbery as well as the sauce being completely overpowering with a pickled flavor. The service was great and always felt as if we were taken care of with constant water refills, immediate serving of complimentary bread, and different staff asking us if we were doing okay throughout the meal. Disappointing meal, but would definitely try again and order some of the more popular offerings to see if the experience is better!

Was there tonight (Thanksgiving) with family and friends. Had been going there for years and had recommended the place often. Last year Thanksgiving fell off and we decided to give the place another chance. Had 5pm reservations. By 6pm they ran out of food at the craving station. A lot of the food was cold and to top it off they ran out of dessert and for what we paid that shouldn't happen. Made reservations in September. Only saving grace was the waiter was excellent and sympathetic. Sorry to let that place go we had many good times there. They cannot handle crowds well. Don't recommend for the holidays.

Blu Point is one of our favorite restaurants. It is satisfying in every aspect, service, scenery, and of course, the food is exceptional.

I've enjoyed happy hour hopping the waterfront with friends, and Blu Pointe is one of the spots we tried. They have a great white wine (basic I know, I don't remember exactly which one), amazing bread, and the oysters are pretty good. Second only to Roosevelt on Thursday evenings. I'm not a big oyster person but they looked fresh and my friends enjoyed them. We sat outside and it was lovely; warm and sunny, and my favorite, clean. I will be returning next season.

Excellent food ambience etc. nice wine list outdoor patio and indoor dinning. All entrees excellent and they excel at their apps.

Love Blu Pointe for the location and the nice decor. Food is quite good, but they scrimp on some things (the meat in the slider appetizer is smaller than a meatball). One major complaint: the music is so freaking loud (and not a good selection). What is the DEAL? Outside, inside - doesn't matter, loud everywhere. Even the staff we spoke with agreed it was too loud, but everyone always replied with "That's how the owner wants it." I'm thinking this owner must be about 25, single, and clueless about what makes a good restaurant scene, and out of touch with his clientele, as we weren't the only patrons annoyed by the noise. We couldn't hear our waitress or the sommelier, and they couldn't hear us - had to bend way down to us at the table to communicate. So weird, and it kind of ruined the vibe. As much as I love this place, I've recently found other nice waterfront options and may have to part ways with Blu Pointe over the noise factor. Most of the stars in this rating are for the location and decor.

We have been coming to this restaurant since it was Torches years ago. The fantastic chef, the staff, the fun and excellent bartenders are all gone. We are left with teeny tiny servings, filthy dishes, extremely loud music to the point where you can't hear the person next to you or hold a conversation, shoddy waitstaff. I could go on, but I won't. It was incredibly depressing upon our last visit. I never send food back, but I did this time which is not only outrageous but completely unacceptable. We were so uncomfortable. What the hell happened to Blu Pointe? I know you recently over the last few years changed hands, but this is really bad. The restaurant has gone from an amazing dining experience to a subpar American restaurant. We used to drive quite a distance to come visit, but that won't be happening again. Huge huge, huge disappointment and actually heartbreaking. We used to love to come to the dinners and events they would hold and all of this is gone now. I will say the bathrooms were fairly clean, but there was garbage on the floors and instead of getting a beautiful table setting like we used to, we were left with a knife, fork and had to go hunt down our own napkins. The waiter left us for long periods of time, and though he was nice, he didn't seem to understand a table setting. Our family was pretty shocked at the remarkable change in service and food quality. I understand an establishment being busy for the holidays, but filthy cutlery and glasses are unacceptable at any time in a food establishment. Horrible experience.

What a lovely experience. Food options were plentiful, our dishes were tasty and the atmosphere was upscale and friendly.

I had recently placed a lower review due to an incident and I am doing a new review for a five out of five because they rectified the problem and gave me a $50 gift card to make it right

This is a very elegant restaurant right on the river . I think if we were given a better table we would have opted to stay . We ordered a glass of wine , both were lovely . The bread on the table was absolutely delicious . For an appetizer we ordered the angry lobster lollipops. It came with 3 , for the price I was hoping for 4 . They were a little well done but tasty .

Waterfront spot that took reservations which is key because this is place get crowded quick and for good reason. Patio is first come serve but they also have a terrace and an inside which is really cool. The starter bread was very fresh with rosemary and salted butter they provided was fresh and served warm which is huge for us when talking about good restaurants. We ordered some mezcal cocktail that was delicious. For the first round then not so much the second time around think the huge crowd had something to do with that. Happy hour even on the weekend was a hit Ordered delicious 8 pieces sushi roll the blue pointe it's called was delicious with blue point oysters and eggplant carbonata and seared scallops. Left us very satisfied. Only thing was they didn't let us for got the 6 minutes we orders our oysters so instead of paying a $1 each we paid $3 and we got a dozen. Otherwise a good time and we will be back for brunch which I hear is a huge hit also.

Excellent service, food, ambiance. I will give 10 stars. Tuna was beyond and Salmon.

Went to lunch. Food was excellent . Highly recommend. the French Dip with truffle fries. Service was top notch. Waitress was attentive and friendly. Shout out to Leo , bus man, who when I asked for "black coffee and fill it to the top " actually listen to me . First time ever that any restaurant employee in Orange County ever listen to me. High five Leo

food: exceptional mussels, sole, salmon, perfectly seasoned and broiled dessert was five plus carrot cake, cheesecake,banana bread pudding service: beyond professional Luis our waiter and his accompanying staff were so well trained and knowledgable about the menu ambiance is on point clean pretty nice soft music makes it easy to converse note: bathrooms were spotless all in all: i wish i could rate Blu Pointe five PLUS stars

Great restaurant with a high bar and beautiful lake view, food are delicious with good service

Went there this past weekend with family. Service was excellent. The place was extremely busy. Location is perfect (of course it is, it's right on the river ;-). I thought my dinner was good (Halibut special). The menu is pricey so watch out. Two folks ordered creme brulee and they remarked that Shadows is better (I think they both have same owners). Almost everyone clearned their plate, just a few 'to go' boxes. I've been there before when it was under different ownership....place is much more upscale now. Most everyone raved about the various appetizers

Wow went to Happy Hour with my tribe, had fresh oysters on the half shell. Really great!

My husband made reservations here for my birthday and it did not disappoint. Blu Pointe is located right on the Newburgh Waterfront. It's a fine dining and intimate experience, perfect for a special occasion or date night. They have an outdoor bar and patio for a nice casual dinner and drink or a few different rooms in the dining area. They seated us in a room with a beautiful panoramic view of the Hudson River. The service was impressive. Our waiter made some wonderful recommendations based on our dietary restrictions. They brought us some incredible gluten free bread that was fresh from the oven with a black salt butter that was delicious and complimented the bread well. Based on recommendations we ordered for drinks a skinny margarita and a Charred Citrus; for our appetizer we ordered the lobster escargot and their Brussels sprouts. We were also informed that the lobster escargot will be added to the daily menu soon due to the high requests for it. For our entrees I ordered the Sea Scallops with a sub of asparagus for the creamed corn; my husband ordered the branzino and subbed spinach for the potatoes, our daughter had a sirloin steak and her boyfriend had the blackened swordfish. All of the dishes were delicious. The tomato jam over the sea scallops was just the right combination of spices to complement the sea scallops. We all finished our meals. We didn't have dessert as my daughter had a carrot cake waiting at home, and our waiter informed us that we could have brought it and had them bring it out and serve to us. We said we would remember that for next year. We will definitely be back to enjoy Blu Pointe again.

Beautiful location on the Hudson with amazing food! We went to celebrate my wife's birthday in August 2023. It's a large restaurant with lots of tables inside but it was a cool enough night for us to dine on the outdoor deck right on the water. Cocktails to start, and they made very good margaritas. We started with the burrata, super fresh and tasty. For our entrees, we chose South African lobster tails (with Yukon Gold potato, spinach & garlic herb butter) and New York strip steak (cooked perfectly, medium rare as requested). The tails were delicious and fresh; the steak was melt-in-your-mouth tender. We followed with the NY cheesecake, and it came out with Happy Birthday written in raspberry sauce. Service, food and views of the river were sublime and we'd love to return next time we travel upstate. Thank you, Blu Pointe, for helping make her birthday special!

Let's start with the food, lobster Mac and cheese is a 8.5 and my beers were ice cold, My female bartender was spot on and engaging with all customers. As for the other guys behind the bar. No comment. My issue are the filth of the place. The paint falling off the ceiling while you're sitting at the bar. Don't look up. The floors were not cleaned from the night before because under all the bar chairs yucky, idea please wipe the bar seat off also. I seen food on the floor and everyone who worked at the restaurant stepped on it or over it. The manager at least 40 times. I actually had to ask him to finally clean it up. Two tables at the bar has crap on them for 26 minutes after someone left and another 25 minutes before it was wiped down. My opinion. Nobody takes pride in their work..

Horrible anniversary experience--never again! I made a reservation over a month in advance for our anniversary, requesting a table by the waterfront. When we arrived, the hostess seated us in a corner away from everyone, despite my request being clearly noted on the reservation. When I asked if I could move to the waterfront, she said there were no tables available, yet I watched her seat several others there over the next 30 minutes. The way we were treated made us feel insignificant and unwelcome, as if our special night didn't matter. When I went back to ask again, another hostess told me that "these things are not guaranteed," which made the whole process feel pointless. We decided to leave, and when the manager came over to "help," he only confirmed my feelings by saying, "We're not that type of establishment." That comment said everything I needed to know. What was supposed to be a special evening turned into a huge disappointment, marked by unprofessionalism, unwelcomingness, and complete disrespect. We will never return.

Happy Hour offering Blue point oysters $1 each. But they are not Blue point oysters. They are Eastern or Atlantic Oysters that are half the size . Manager said Anthony head chef orders them. This has been going on since end of June 2025. They always used to have them . Not now! ........

Docked and walked here today. Had a great lunch. They really take care of you. Sitting right on the Hudson. My black ink pasta with scrimp was amazing Fresh oysters super good Pork tacos were so tender. Truffle fries crispy and freshly made. King crab legs where huge. If in the area hit it up !!!!

Go for the view. The space and the view are wonderful. We were 6, and the consensus was that the food was only okay. The oysters were fine but too many shell fragments, and the entrees were expensive and nothing special. The exception was the cold lobster which everyone agreed was excellent.

The ambiance & food were exemplary. I went to the Sunday brunch and the price was perfect! Reasonably priced for a brunch and the service was quality.

Love this place! Great food, service, drinks, ambiance! Always enjoy my visits here. .........................

Wow, has this place gone downhill. Gone the wine dinners that were so fabulous, the hefty servings, the garlic smashed potatoes, the fantastic Sommeliers and we are left staff that is subpar, food that is OK, but nothing special. The music is blaring. The dishes are filthy. After sending back two drinks at our table that were absolutely horrible, they brought new ones in filthy glasses. I gave up. Trash on the floor. I could go on, but I won't. Horribly disappointed, and we will not make the journey to again. We have been going to this establishment since it was Torches. We absolutely love the wine dinners, and the chef and the amazing staff that used to have and now it is nothing but ghetto. Not kidding. It is so different now and so depressing to see. We had to ask for a play Settings and finally literally got up to get our own napkins. We couldn't have a normal conversation because the music was so loud. Ridiculous and unacceptable. Hopefully it will be sold soon to people who will bring it back to what Blu Pointe was.

The service was excellent. Everyone enjoyed their food. However, I don't think that the lollipops are worth the price. If you order the wedge salad, you'll get enough for the entire meal. Great toffee cake! The main room was very loud when we walked through it to leave. If you're looking for a more conversational vibe, sit in the outer room.

I went there with my family last Thanksgiving. Enjoyed it and wanted to give it a try on a regular day. So we went a few days ago. Two of us. Seated out back. Lovely day. Rowan took our drink orders. Santiago was our server and was very smooth and accommodating. Entire tab for the two of us was about $333. I put the bill on my card and I handed Santiago a $100 tip in cash. I don't usually leave 30%-plus tips but he was good, meal was good, and we had a nice time. Two days later I checked my card online and...I had a $400 charge from Blu Point. Someone there added a $67 tip on my card in addition to the 100 cash tip I handed Santiago. This is very unsavory behavior, bordering on criminal. It is not ethical-or legal-to write in the tip you wish you had been left on a customer's statement. That is for the customer to decide. And to remind: we were a party of two not 10 or 8 or 6 or 4. Clearly someone on staff was double dipping. I contacted Blue Point on social media with a photo of my receipt and I left a voicemail at the restaurant and I called again after they opened and no one answered the phone. I was all ready to do a chargeback with my bank when I called Blu Point again. This time I got Allie the manager on duty. After confirming my receipt, she refunded me rapidly but had little to say regarding how this happened aside from the fact that it was more to blame on the server than on the restaurant because "the server goes over his or her tips with the manager every day at the end of their shift." She really implied that Santiago was to blame and seemed to not understand that Blu Pointe was to blame for Santiago. Anyway, I wasn't going to belabor the issue: I got my stolen $67 back and I just will not go back there again. Their non-apology apology sucked--they took zero accountability--and I have absolutely no faith that something like this would not happen there again. I suggest anyone that does go keep their receipt copy and check their credit card statements carefully to make sure they correspond.

Outstanding dining experience, perfect in every way. And this is not just in comparison to the appalling one we had just had at a fancy restaurant in Philadelphia, which we were hesitant not to repeat. From start to finish this place delivered. It hadn't even been on my research list, but should have been. I saw it in the book at our inn (Cromwell Manor) of dining recommendations. I lost count of how many different people stopped by our table to take care of us: from our original waiter (Steve), to a different person who took and delivered our drinks, to other servers who brought the bread and refilled our water. Someone who looked like an owner was walking around making sure everything was taken care of, and all the staff was wonderful and seemed happy to be working there. We were not able to eat outside because of the weather, but the windows appeared to open to the water. I will also note this is the first time a request has been honored when I entered it into the reservation notes (romantic table by the water). The incredible food started with complimentary focaccia with rosemary, crunchy and chewy served with a pot of butter with delicious black salt. Next we tried the unique Lobstercargot which was divine. The wine list was endless, beautifully displayed around the bar. My husband enjoyed a drink special with cherries. Since it was a dreary day I decided to try something called "Fog on the Hudson". Imagine my delight when it came out covered, unveiling smoke! The drink itself was enormous and one of the smoothest I've had. Everything was spectacular, including the entrees. My husband loved the sea scallops with garlic mashed potatoes, and my sole francese was delicious. Somehow they were magically able to make the bed of potatoes under the filet hot enough to keep my fish warm until the last bite was gone. Even the bathrooms were lovely! Plenty of parking. Obviously I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. Do yourself a favor and treat your loved ones to this special place. Highest recommendations from New Hampshire. xoxo

The food was very good the waiters were very friendly and very engaging wich was very nice. . However I been going here for many many many years. To come back after I would say a year or so. From what was a very intimate very quite relaxing atmosphere with very soft music if any. to dining with loud loud music. I couldn't hear myself or my partner talk I asked three times to lower the music. Banging music it didn't match the old ambience if what it's been for years. if I'm gonna pay these prices the loud banging music ruined my whole dining experience. Then going back to the bathroom and entree the music was even louder by the bar area and so loud because you have to be loud over such loud music. Even the bathroom was banging with loud music. my elderly friend can't hear as it is. I had a headache, again I been coming here for years and I would have gone to a disco if I wanted to go home with a headache. This kind of money you want fine dining back with soft mellow music where we can enjoy each others conversations . sorry no plans in goinv back anytime soon if this banging music remains. This has never been the atmosphere for loud music very disappointing.

Went for brunch, good as always But they were under staffed. Tables needed to be cleaned as we were seated and were still not cleaned when we left. And people still waiting to be seated.

Took my Mom there for dinner the food,service and the ambiance was amazing. Want to thank Jason(waiter)for making our experience a wonderful one.

Beautiful Riverfront restaurant in Newburgh. Leisurely service and varied menu. Gorgeous view across the Hudson

Nice atmosphere, great views of the Hudson River, however the appetizer calamari was sitting in the sauce, mixed with fried pickles and fried red bell peppers. You had to dig around to find the calamari. We ordered the seafood tower. Which was over priced ($225.00) In the seafood tower the raw tuna is sitting in some sauce, which tasted horrible. The oysters were so small like the size of a dime or nickel. The scallops were shredded like cheese curds. The colossal shrimp were huge and delicious. Could've had a little more lobster on it for the price. The butter dipping sauce had wine in it was awful. We just couldn't eat it and then the tomato cocktail sauce was bad. we had to ask for melted butter. Nice place but be careful what you order.
