    Another wonderful meal at Johnny's and a fun night. We always like to sit in the bar area if it is Monday-Friday to listen to Mike Petrone play. He gets the crowd singing and is wonderful. The food is fabulous also. I had the beef short ribs and they melted in my mouth. Others had the crusted grouper and veal chop which was both excellent. Highly recommend.

    We’ve dined at Blue Point before over the years, but tonight was by far our favorite time. We took my daughter for our annual Christmas dinner and it could not have been more perfect. Our server, Hailie was so kind and attentive. She made the experience truly special for my daughter. Our appetizer, entrees and desserts were perfect. The Christmas decorations at Blue Point are second to none and elicit the ambiance of a Manhattan restaurant during and holidays. We cannot recommend Blue Point or our server Hailie highly enough.
