Blue point Grille is a lovely restaurant for a special occasion. The service was impeccable, and the food was absolutely delicious, and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to celebrate.
I had the Paradise Found and Paloma Italiano cocktails, and they were both incredibly delicious! The cocktails came out quickly from the bar.
For food, we started with the steamed mussels. These were absolutely delicious and very savory. I do think the mussels themselves are on the smaller side, but the portion is very generous. They also provide complementary bread, in case the two pieces are not enough.
I had the scallops for my main, and while I at first did not think the portions were that large, I actually found myself struggling to finish it. The scallops themselves are huge and juicy, and they're perfectly seared on both sides. I really enjoyed the pasta like thing that came with it, though I felt like the broccoli was an afterthought. I think they were steamed and not seasoned, but I did appreciate having some greens to go with my meal. My one critique, which is purely personal preference, was that I felt like the dish was overly sweet. I ended up asking for some lemon wedges and squeeze the lemon over the scallops, which helped cut through the sweetness.
The blackened swordfish, on the other hand, was some of the best fish I've had in Cleveland. It was perfectly flaky, there was great depth of flavor, and I really wanted to eat the whole thing! Again, the sides don't feel particularly intricate, as the green beans and potatoes were nothing special.
Overall, I had a wonderful time at Blue Point Grille. Their cocktails are not to be missed, and their seafood selection is excellent. I do wish the sides were not as plain, especially at this price point, but what can you do. The service was excellent from everyone we interacted with, from the hostess, to the waiters, etc.
