For the dinner, we had scallops for appetitizer, seared salmon, fish tacos and chicken parmesan. For dessert, we had bread pudding and cheesecake. All delicious and cooked to perfection.

I ponder the menu, it's a decent sized menu, with a good amount of items I decided to go for my old standby, the poutine. I put in my order, and he brings it back quick. It was a decent portion. The fries were well seasoned, crispy on the outside, yet tender on the inside. They were very good. The gravy. Was just the right texture. Not too thin, and not too thick. It was a good quality gravy. It had a deep rich flavor. The one problem, is that there was a very small amount of the cheese curds. They were basically not even the full cheese curds, just little chunks here and there. What cheese curd I got was good, there just was hardly any of it. Let's face it. Poutine without cheese curds is just "gravy fries." Even though there was hardly any of the cheese, curds, overall, it was still a good meal. I left stuffed. Poutine and a soda, the price was reasonable. I would like to try some of the other items on the menu. Thanks.

The place is inviting, with a large front area featuring outdoor seating that extends to and from the bar area. The interior has high ceilings with an industrial feel. Our server and the runners were super friendly and more than happy to answer any questions. Food-wise, we got the chili and cornbread along with the Pitmaster Combo with jalapeño mac & cheese and coleslaw. Getting the combo was definitely the right move since you got a taste of everything. My personal favorites from the combo were the burnt ends, followed by the wings (we got them with their dry rub), and then the ribs. The pulled pork and brisket were okay, but you definitely needed some sauce. The chili was solid, but the cornbread was awesome, especially with that cinnamon butter (similar to Texas Roadhouse). So, if you're in Watkins Glen and in the mood for BBQ after that state park hike or some adult beverage tasting, come check out Nickel's.

After a not so great experience at Sapalta, we were a bit rushed to find a place for dinner on a Saturday night, which is no easy feat on a summer night. Considering the yelp reviews missed the mark with Sapalta, we figured we'd take a chance on Blue Pointe Grille and as soon as we walked in, we knew we had made the right decision. Firstly the wait staff were so kind and attentive. I wish I knew the name of our waitress, but right away she made us feel welcomed. She started us off with a bread basket and we had a couple of cocktails. For an appetizer we tried the fried calamari, mainly because I'm a sucker for banana peppers (or cherry peppers) with calamari. The calamari came with a pepperoncini and caper lemon aioli, which it didn't need but it was a nice twist considering most places will serve calamari with marinara. For dinner we split a bottle of wine, and opted for their catfish special and their chargrilled frenched pork chop. I was advised that the pork chop was a large cut of meat and would take some time to cook through which was fine because we had opted to sit outside and were delighted to watch the sunset. The entrees were excellent, and came out quicker than we expected. Overall, we had a great experience. If you have the chance to sit out on their patio, I definitely recommend it as you'll get beautiful views of Seneca Lake, and the boats coming into dock. Afterwards, I recommend taking a stroll down the pier to take in the sights. I'm glad we ignored the yelp reviews and opted to dine at Blue Pointe Grille.

Free cheesy garlic bread! Did that catch your attention?…read more Friendly service, an interesting interior with a somewhat "tropical vibe," and pretty decent food. I can understand why the reviews on TripAdvisor say that this is a local favorite. Why not a 5 rating, though? The food was okay. The waiter said that they won "Best Pizza" in New York a few years back, and when I asked which area of New York, he said it was for the entire state. So, naturally, that made my expectations for the food go up a notch. We got the burrata salad, a supreme pizza, and linguine with red clam sauce (which came with a side salad). The burrata salad was okay. The linguine with red clam sauce was also okay, but the side salad looked like one of those premade salads that might have been sitting in the fridge for a bit. The lettuce was on the verge of wilting, and the cucumbers looked dry. As for the pizza? Okay. Was it worthy of the title of "Best Pizza"? Sorry, I don't think so. Overall, though, if you're in the mood for Italian food in the area, check it out.

Usually bar food is terrible. But she said this place actually makes great food. And I said OK, I'll give it a try. My friend's go-to order is Philly cheesesteak, so I ordered the same thing on a wrap. The sandwiches and wraps comes with chips and they add an extra charge if you substitute it for fries or onion rings. My friend's husband got the deal for a delmonico steak and 2 sides for $19. We also got chicken fingers and fries for her kids. We called in the order, and they said it would be about an hour. Which is fine since we were in no rush and they were probably busy. The food was ready when we went to pick it up an hour later. Our whole order came to around $66 with tip. The food was hot and came in these Styrofoam boxes. There was a very large generous portion of chicken tenders, and the fries looked good. The Philly cheesesteak looked interesting as they used ground beef instead of thinly sliced steak. The onion rings were huge, and the chips looked like fresh kettle cooked chips. The Philly cheesesteak tasted ok, I think it's better than a sandwich rather than a wrap. I only ate half but was still very full. The onion rings were very crispy, and tangy sauce that came with the onion rings reminds me of the Burger King onion ring sauce but better. It was pretty good. We ordered the delmonico steak with fries and Mac & cheese. The Mac & cheese was really good, it tasted fresh, and was made with sharp cheddar cheese, and it was really melty. The chicken tenders were amazing. I haven't had chicken tenders this good in years. They were not dry at all, and were flavorful. The only downside is my friend says sometimes depending on the chef, the food might not be that good. But it seems like for now if you go on a Saturday night you'll have amazing food!

The Oar House is only open on a limited schedule- Friday- Sunday and only thru the fall each year.
