    Always love spending the evening at La Dolce Vita! I think you need one of those entryway door protectors. The cold wind outside came right inside…and it was really cold! Otherwise, a beautiful night. Can’t wait to return.

    Dining here is an experience not to be rushed. Take advantage of the table side preparations that are offered. We loved the Parmesan pasta cart and the bananas foster was perfect! Treat yourself to a nice night out with wonderful food and immaculate service.

    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.
