    We had a triple date to celebrate Valentine's Day! From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect!! The team members that greeted us were so friendly & welcoming!! For starters, we shared Oysters Rockefeller, Calamari & Shrimp Cocktail & each of the selections were absolutely delicious!! Our entrees included Filet Mignon, Delmonico Ribeye, Surf & Turf, Coleman Farms Chicken, Grilled Atlantic Salmon & New York Strip. The meals were perfectly prepared & everyone in our party raved about how delicious everything was. For salads, we had a variety including mixed greens, Cesar, beet, & titanic wedge which paired perfectly with our selections. My dry vodka martini with blue cheese stuffed olives was decadent & there were a variety of wine by the glass being thoroughly enjoyed. To finish things off - each couple shared the key lime pie tart, & New York cheesecakes with espresso & Cappuccino. Our waiter, Mitchell was fantastic!! He was attentive, extremely knowledgeable & professional. Blue Pointe is lucky to have him as a member of the team!! We were absolutely thrilled with our entire evening & cannot wait to return!! Thank you!!
