Nice ambience! We sat at the fire pit for cocktails and enjoyed the people and the lively atmosphere l! Will be back for dinner!!

The point is a fun waterfront spot for happy hour and good bar fare. I've never dined in the restaurant but the bar is a great vibe for dining or dipping in along your walk along the water. I'm lucky that it happens to be on my route while walking my dog so I stop in from time to time. Very dog friendly space, and if you have good timing or patience, you should be able to get a spot easily. Bar staff are always busy but get to everyone quickly. A very good local spot.

The Point is an seafood restaurant with an open air patio, fire pits and panoramic views. They have HH M-F 4-7 at the bars inside and outside. Since I sat at the bar the service was good and I can't speak for the service in the dining room. They have a great HH menu with a wide variety of options for both food and drinks at reasonable prices. I really enjoyed the shrimp and short ribs.

Cod with crabmeat Mashed potatoes Broccoli & cauliflower

Love The Point! The service and the food here are great every time. Came here with a group of 7 for New Year's Eve dinner. I ordered the cod with crabmeat side of mashed potatoes and broccoli & cauliflower and it was delicious! Almost everyone at the table got a side Ceasar salad as well and the salads were to die for. Strongly recommend The Point for a date night or a gathering with friends.

What a nice place to eat. You can eat inside or outside by the water! The food was great. Food comes out hot and is delicious! Get the crabcake! Oh and the service.... Amazing!

Visited this place while on vacation in D.C. It was suggested by a friend that lives near by. It was interesting getting there, not being familiar with the area it seemed like the UBER driver was taking us to a dead end street but once we got there it is very welcoming. We didn't have reservations but were able to be seated outside per our preference. The server came over right away and once we told her we weren't from the area and it was our first time, she offered many suggestions. The crab cake sandwich was one of her fav's and it was indeed very good. It wasn't like other crab cake sandwiches I have had in the past it was very little if any breading and was full of lump crab. The fries were amazing as well. We ordered smoked wings as a starter and man they were so good, you don't need any sauce on those things. There is a great view, the vibe was good, the food was good. It's a little pricey, but I understand it is probably typical for an East Coast restaurant. We took an UBER but it didn't seem like there was parking close, but not sure, check that out if that is a concern.

Nothing like a self-care day.... Awesome scenery to go along with an amazing meal !!

"The Point" what a fitting name for an establishment that seems to make a point with each dish it serves.... The atmosphere is so serene and the view of the water is mesmerizing. And once you dive into the menu, you will be in for quite a treat. The New England clam chowder was dancing with flavor, while the Cod & Crab meat entree left me planning my next visit from the first bite. And I must give a round of applause to the friendly and very efficient service I received ( polite, and extremely attentive) No question "The Point" has my vote and is now a must have in my book.

My experience at the Point was subpar. The service was not the best and the food was just okay. I ordered the spicy tuna roll, grilled cornbread, short rib, and the watermelon jalapeño margarita. The spicy tuna roll and grilled cornbread were on point! The sushi seemed really fresh. The short rib was just okay, not super flavorful. I did enjoy the mashed potatoes that accompanied it. The margarita seemed watered down to me so I did not enjoy it. The inside of the restaurant has a nice vibe to it! I would definitely try this place out for happy hour prior to indulging in a full dinner.

Branzino

Went to The Point DC for Restaurant Week and left feeling underwhelmed. The first course was the crab dip, which was creamy but surprisingly bland and lacked the seasoning you'd expect. The donuts served alongside sounded like an interesting pairing but they were very bland and didn't complement the dip at all. The second course, grilled branzino, was the clear standout. It was cooked perfectly, light, flaky, and well seasoned. Dessert was an apple hand pie. The filling was fine, but the pastry wasn't crispy, which made the ending fall flat. Overall, service and atmosphere were pleasant, but for me with only one of three dishes really delivering, the meal was just okay.

Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes

My family had an early dinner at The Point to kick over our New Year's Eve. When we arrived at 5pm, the restaurant wasn't crowded at all. My favorite items were the calamari, cornbread, crab cakes and Point Punch:) Shout out to our server Lillani! I would highly recommend going here, especially when it's warmer and you can sit outside and take in the beautiful views.

The point: drinks aren't that good, looks okay though
Bella J.

Located near the water, it has a decent view. 1. Drinks: not so good. But if you stick with beer, it is fine. 2. Food: I am not so fond of fried oysters, but people like it. Their brussel sprouts are popular. 3. Ambience: loud, lots of people. They have both indoor and outdoor areas, large tables great for big groups.

Warm Crab Doughnuts
Kristin T.

The large dining room is spacious and allows for intimate dining experience. The plates were amazing, the crab doughnuts were surprisingly delightful and the drinks were great compliments.

Some kinda punch they had... THE BEST!!

I recently went here with my mom and it was such a nice experience! The staff was attentive and kind! The bathroom and dining areas were clean! The food unfortunately was super mid! Not much flavor or seasoning. My catfish tasted like cod and was falling apart! It was a horrible sandwich smh! I was irritated about that but the drinks made up for it! It was sooooo good! I'll definitely visit again I just have to try different menu items! I always hear good things about The Point so I'll give it a few more chances.
