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. read more

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 read more

DO NOT GO HERE!!!! I made a reservation a month in advance for a party of 6 to ensure that I would sit when I needed too and it took around 2 hours to sit. Absolutely absurd. I asked over and over again how long it would be to sit and they gave me NO answer. For your sake... GO ANYWHERE ELSE. The disrespect was crazy read more

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.. read more

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! ........ read more

This is one of my go-to places in my home town. Classy. Elegant. Comfortable bougie vibe. Happy hour 4-7. Sit inside in the lounge during the Christmas season for the best wintertime vibes. Sit outside on the gorgeous patio during the nice weather- right on the Hudson's River. You will feel like you're on vacation, even if you live 10 minutes away as I do. My favorite river-side hang out. read more

Beautiful restaurant and atmosphere. Such a great place to celebrate any occasion! The view is so peaceful during all seasons. Our waitress was attentive and sweet. The food is so fresh. Amazing flavors! I loved the scallop and crab cake dishes. The espresso martini was the best I've ever had! Perfect after dinner dessert drink. Best place to celebrate in Newburgh! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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

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 read more

Great place for brunch. I am absolutely in love with the views in this area. The view is stunning. My friends and I made a reservation for brunch on a Sunday. They seated us as soon as the whole party arrived. We got a seat outside. The brunch is buffet style. Pricey but the food is delicious, there are a lot of options. The severs were super friendly. My only complaint is the tea selection (only one option), but I am being nit picky. This is a great place for a special occasion or a celebration. read more

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 read more

Enjoyed a quiet lunch the other day at Blu Pointe. The food was great, as usual. The calamari in San marzano tomato sauce and aioli was a 10/10. I ordered the grilled chicken BLT which was also delicious. My lunch date had the pork tacos which were probably a 8/10 because the shell wasn't as hard as she'd like. But the meat was cooked and seasoned well. The service was great as always! read more

We came to Blu Pointe for our anniversary again this year. It's so beautiful dining outside on a beautiful day. I know prices went up after Covid but OMG...the prices are ridiculous! Let's start with cocktails. We ordered "Message in a Bottle ". It was ok, nothing to write home me about. I did like the dried slice of orange garnish. We ordered the lump crab cocktail. I've never had this before and it was delicious. We also ordered raw oysters. We usually order a dozen blu pointes but we ended up trying something on special. I wish I could remember what they were called but not impressed. Stick with the blupointes. For dinner I ended up having a sandwich which was one of the few affordable dishes to have. It was a swordfish sandwich with truffle fries and it was delicious. My hubby ordered a scallops dish, he said it was good but he was not raving as usual. All in all we probably will not rush here in the future. We always bring friends with us when we are trying to really show them a good time on the boat. I think we'll head to the strand in Kingston instead. read more

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. read more

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. read more

The Happy Hour (raw oysters & raw clams) pork taco & sliders are outstanding & the bartender (Vincent) is one of the best bartender in the region. I have visited the very best bars in the world (NYC to Miami to Vegas to Asia) and Vincent is one of the very best mixologist I encountered. Go to Blue Pointe & ask him to create you a drink. It's worth it. The seafood dishes are really good here & the other meat items are good as well. The wine list is quite impressive. Service is outstanding. Overall, this is the best fine dining restaurant on the Newburgh waterfront. read more

Lets start by saying it took me weeks to find a restaurant to take my boyfriend to for his birthday dinner. (It was extremely difficult to find a place that was open on a week night during these COVID times). Most restaurants in this area are closed M-W. Finally came across this place, saw mixed reviews, but they have a pretty good cocktail list (my boyfriend is a sucker for a boujie cocktail) and the food looked promising, so I decided to make a reservation at 7pm on a Tuesday. We arrived a few minutes late. The place was dead. There were only 1 or 2 parties in the entire restaurant. This place is huge and gorgeous. Floor to ceiling bar, huge fireplace, lounge area across from the bar, and a separate dining room with tables overlooking the water. It was hard to see the view during the night time because of the glare from the christmas lights in the restaurant. Nonetheless, beautiful and romantic vibe. 5/5 for ambiance. The old time christmas music was a little overbearing though. Our server, Ciesar, gave me the vibe like he was in a serious RUSH throughout our entire meal. He was very polite, but it seemed like he was a newer server or something. The drinks are 5/5 here. This is the only reason why I gave 3 stars instead of 2. Highly highly recommend the island sweater weather drink (DELISH!!) Bacardi Rum, Coconut Rum, Orgeat, Grilled Pineapple, Orange Brûlée & Grated Nutmeg- OUTSTANDING !!! I also got the Gincident!!! PERFECTION! My boyfriend was also very happy with the drinks. The food was EH for me. For an appetizer we got the crab cake. Pretty good and melt-in-your mouth FRESH. I got the Colossal Shrimp for dinner. The BF got steak with shrimp. He said the food was a 6.5/10. I would give it a 5. The shrimps were huge but I was NOT a fan of the chefs "special sauce." I liked the spice factor of the sauce but it was just weird tasting with the balsamic flavor. The food was just NOT special in any way- mediocre at best especially for the price. $240 for dinner without tip. Would I come back? Not a good chance. Would I recommend this restaurant? For cocktails, yes. Not for food. The biggest disappointment for me was how the dessert was served. We asked for warm apple pie (which was on the specials menu that clearly stated apple pie with salted caramel drizzle). Ordered it with icecream on the side. THEY BROUGHT OUT THE APPLE PIE COLD AND THERE WAS NO CARAMEL ON IT. The server did heat it up promptly when we asked. But still, at least serve it like it says on the menu!!! All in all, kind of disappointed (mainly because of the food). I think they would make a killing here if they had a more unique menu. I would like to see the chef take more risks with the menu. Sorry for the boring review but, here it is! Lmao read more

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. read more

I recently went to Bluepoint to celebrate my birthday January 10. I received the card once we were seated unfortunately I was unable to read it. The handwriting was so bad I was server. Francisco was not good. We had a long wait time for him to even attend to the table, the person that was assisting him with clearing dishes, bagged up some food for us, and all the sauces, and all the other garnishment was not added, and she provided us with a broken lid and stated that she didn't see that when she packed it up because she gave our food to someone else to do it to make matters worse when four other tables were sang happy birthday by the waiter and staff they did not provide me with that joy for my birthday when I have been there so many times in the past Francisco is the worse read more

Came for our anniversary and everything was great. No wait for our reservation, waitress (I think her name was Hannah?) was so sweet and attentive. I added a note about our anniversary when making the reservation, and they gave us a cute little card for it. So cute and I've never gotten that anywhere! Food was super yummy, we got the cheeseburger and eggplant sandwich, both with fries and borne delicious. The drinks were also very good. Nicely decorated and very big. We came for dinner, but it seemed like there would be some lovely views of the Hudson for and earlier meal. read more

An impromptu visit after a Hudson River boat tour to Blu pointe was well worth it. During a surprise birthday trip to New York, where my husband booked a weekend filled with activities, including the Kevin Hart comedy show "Acting my Age" eventually brought us to experience great food and amazing customer service that was a warm wrap up to the last night of my surprise birthday weekend trip. The duck, the state, the Blu pointe oysters, and the cucumber gin drink were to die for. Did I mention the bread- had to take some to go with me. Lol. Our primary server Chris was charismatic and attentive while with Jada who stepped in at times truly ensured we were accommodated. Thanks Chris, Jada and Blu Pointe for the great final act to my surprise Birthday weekend! read more

I absolutely love this place! I came here for the first time with my husband on a romantic dinner date, We made reservations for 7:30 as soon as we arrived we kindly got greeted then seated, we was extremely impressed about the ambiance of this restaurant being very elegant and classy. I wasted no time in ordering my first drink which was a grand mimosa made perfectly and while looking over the menu I noticed they took alot of entree off. I guess they only had Covid specials that were still out of this world delicious, I'm still thinking about my meal. For our appetizer we decided to have my favorite little neck clams, and our new addiction a checuterie cheese board that was decadent and always fun. Our steak meal for two was absolutely delectable like omg good. The steak was smoky, tender, and perfectly cooked! And the sides we had were so good too! I really enjoyed the grilled zucchini and the fresh tomatoes, everything was out of this world. I've haven't had a delicious meal like this in a while. Overall the food we ordered was a win. I honestly cannot wait until the next time we come back and eat from here again!!! read more

Ultimate dining experience! The restaurant is gorgeous. Its a large venue sitting on the Fishkill Creek. The prices are definitely the waterfront taxes but it's worth it. By quick surveillance the place is perfect for large groups and celebration. Great white glove waiting staff fringing between overbearing and helpful. The food was nothing shy from great. Delicious oysters on the half shelf and it was beautifully presented. I was a huge fan of the cocktails, I wish I uber'd to try more of them. The Lima Colada and Somewhere in Thyme (my favorite ) were incredible drinks. Definitely treat yourself to this extravaganza place. They do require reservations and be punctual! read more

Blue Point Sunday Brunch on the Newburgh Waterfront is a pleasant weekend trip. Just off the Newburgh/Beacon bridge there is a cozy little strip of restaurants to sit and enjoy. We went to Blue Point for Father's Day and it was very tasty. Started off with waffles and scrambled eggs with sausage home fried potatoes ( which were delicious. Graduation to lunch we had fish, vegetables, and different pastas (so much to choose from) capped it off with a delicious cup of coffee and raspberry cheese cake. All in all a very satisfying experience. read more
