Finally went back after visiting at the top of the year for drinks. It is right on the water in a quiet cul de sac in Navy Yard. The food was great and service was on point. We had the seafood risotto and fish of the day. Both were good. read more

This place is so nice, the location is right next to the water. I came here for a work and the waiter was great!!! I wish I could remember his name but the drinks were coming. read more

Amazing view, very good customer service (thanks Nancy!) terribly mediocre food. The BBQ shrimp (we got it without bacon) was so visually unappealing, it looked as if a child had made it. The shrimp and pineapple pieces were tiny and there was far too much BBQ glaze. I was going to send it back but a friend agreed to eat it just to avoid the hassle. Oh, and ignore the pics on Yelp. What you'll get looks NOTHING like those. I so wish I'd taken a pic but I was too disgusted to think about that. The broiled oysters were on the verge of burned and you tasted more bread crumbs than anything else. The smoked wings were decent but not noteworthy. The short rib was tough and lacked flavor. The only tasty items were the crab cakes and the burger. But neither item was good enough to warrant a return trip. We may go back to enjoy the beautiful patio. But if we do, we'll only be for drinks. read more

The food was decent, but for the price, I expected more. Service was just okay, nothing exceptional. The atmosphere is nice, but I'm not sure it justifies the high cost. But the fire pit is a nice touch overall. read more

The Order - The Point Punch, Limoncello Mojito, Hushpuppies, Warm Crab Doughnuts, BBQ Shrimp & Maryland Crab Cakes.   The Cost - $68 per person   The Great - The best dish was the Maryland Crab Cakes which were very good and did not contain a lot of filler. The downside of this dish - the price: Market Price was an astronomical $50.   The Good -The Limoncello Mojito was a cross between a lemon drop and a mojito. It was nice that there wasn't much sugar added since limoncello was sweet enough. The Hushpuppies had cheddar, scallions, honey butter, and pork sausage inside but while they weren't bad, I expected the flavorful ingredients to stand out. The idea of the Crab Doughnuts, warm doughnuts filled with crab dip, made my mouth water, but the execution left me wanting more. The "doughnut" was good but it was too hard and dense and it was all I tasted. The BBQ Shrimp consisted of about six nicely spiced large shell-on shrimp. It would have been a winner but the spices were on the outside of the shell and when the shrimp were peeled, most of the flavor was lost.   The Okay - The Point Punch is made with rum, cognac, peach brandy, simple syrup, lime juice, and cherry. There was too much cognac and brandy and the peach flavor was very artificial, making this a drink I wouldn't order again.   The Bad - The restaurant's 3% fee to use a credit card - an unnecessary separate fee that leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

I love and dislike the Point. I love it enough to keep coming back because the food is quite good, the prices reasonable, the restaurant beautiful and the view fantastic. I love to take weekend bike rides and it's a great place to end a morning ride (city bikes has two docks next to restaurant). However, you must take a breath and prepare yourself for the frustration. With only a couple of exceptions, the service has been poor. My experience today is typical: it took 15 minutes for a server to introduce themselves and that was because I flagged someone down from another section. I ordered coffee and they told me they had none because they had no filters (at Sunday brunch!) four times a busboy came to our table to drop off food that wasn't ours (none of them knew table numbers apparently). Ultimately, it took 37 minutes from the time we sat until we got a sandwich and a cheese pizza, which are quick turnaround items. I will keep coming back because I truly enjoy the spot, but after a dozen visits it was time for me to write a review. Ultimately the issue is incompetent management, but that is fixable. I'm not willing to write off the point just yet. I hope they can get it together. read more

We've been waiting to try this place out (restaurants always start out with a few hiccups) and I'm glad we did. We went on a beautiful spring day and were able to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air and views. Our server was excellent- extremely attentive. The crowd was a nice mix of people - less pretentious that a lot of the Wharf restaurants, but still classy. We enjoyed the sushi, grilled shrimp, and shrimp pasta. All were delicious. We were treated to a chocolate bar dessert for our anniversary. It was something i wouldnt have ordered, but really ejpyed. The restaurant is larger than I expected. The aisles are of a decent width and could accommodate a walker or wheelchair. The bathrooms have large sinks with a foot pedal to operate the faucet. We will definitely go back to try their brunch. read more

I've only been to The Point for large group events and they handle them very well! There is a room for private dining and they are able to set and print a menu for you and your guests for a reasonable price. The servers are friendly and attentive and the food is delicious. The only issue here is the parking is pricy but that's DC for ya! read more

I love waterfront restaurant properties. This is another to add to my list. The food was really good. We sat outside of the patio area. We enjoyed the nice weather with the food and some good drinks. Our waiter was knowledgeable with good recommendations for food. read more

Parking is $20 for valet, but if you don't mind a very short walk there is a parking lot just a block up that is free. The parking lot is a little on the dark side which if you know where you could scare you a little, but it was perfectly fine. The ambiance of this place is great. They have outdoor seating as well as indoors seating. We sat inside, but they even had outdoor heaters to keep the patio warm which is awesome. The server was nice but she may have gotten more busy towards the end of our meal. She made great recommendations and told a few item on the menu that was the most popular items. We decided to start with the Warm Crab Doughnuts $17 (7/10). The crab dip was great! The doughnuts are where they lost points on even though it had some crab dip stuffed in them. For dinner my 2 year old had the margarita Pizza $16 (10/10), because everything on the kids menu is $15. He enjoyed it and ate half of the pizza. It is really big! I had the catfish sandwich $17 (7/10). It is served with creole sauce and a relish/pepper sauce on the sandwich which was both good. The fries that came with it was ehhh. My son didn't even eat them. My partner had the Roasted Stuffed Rockfish $33 (9/10). She ate it all and said it was really good. Over all we would try it again and get different things. I'm interested to see what there brunch is like seeing as though it sits right on the water! read more

Visited this place for my groups monthly bookclub. Made reservations online and followed their specific instructions to ensure we secured our table. Very friendly host staff.

My drink was very good, however the food was just ok. The smoked wings could benefit from additional seasoning and the food could have been hotter. It came out lukewarm at best and that was a disappointment. Also the presentation for the short ribs was also disappointing. Before we taste, we see what we're about to eat and at first glance I was leery. read more

Great ambiance and decent food. Wasn't completely blown away but enjoyed the meal. We ordered the crab donuts, seafood platter (which was just okay), fish and chips, branzino (really great) and duck ravioli (delicious but on the sweeter side). For dessert I'd highly recommend the apple turnovers. We tried the s'mores dessert as well, but the apple turnovers were even better. I did notice a really gorgeous private dining room which is great to keep in mind for future events. read more

Went for Easter Brunch today with family and friends. The location is beautiful with great view of the water. Unfortunately, we had horrible service the entire meal. We sat down and noone came to take drink orders. We had to flag down a waitress to order drinks. We ordered drinks and our appetizers. My mother ordered coffee but the server forgot, and the appetizers arrived before she had coffee. Mom had to remind server that she ordered a coffee. The 4 of us ordered clam chowder appetizer. They came with small teaspoons, and 2 of the spoons fell in the soup while they were serving it, so they took 2 of the soups back to replace them with new spoons. Brunch came with 4 side dishes for the table, mac and cheese, grits, potatoes, and some vegetable dish. Took a while for the sides, and when they finally came, they were served on table without any serving spoons. Had to sit around and wait few minutes to flag someone down and wait for them to bring spoons. Grits and mac n cheese for 4 people should be a no brainer to serve with a serving spoon. The food was really, really good. There was buffet with 3 delicious meat dishes. I emptied my glass of water while eating and it stayed empty for a while. I had to ask my server 3 times for a water refill before she finally remembered and refilled my water. The "apple pie sundae" desert was served on another table in a regular ice cream bowl and looked appealing, so 2 of us ordered it. But, our table's desert was served in a coffee cup with a spoon, and was basically a mix of ice cream and apple pie crumbs in a coffee cup. Very strange. It was too sweet - the 2 people in our group who ordered it were finished after their first bite because of the overwhelming sweetness. Finally, the check came and there was a $30 gratuity charge added on top of the bill. The menu on their website mentions that gratuity is added for parties of 6 or more. There were 4 us, and were still charged a gratuity fee. Bill came to around $350 for 4 people Overall, while the food was really good with great view of water, the service was horrible and not worth the money or the trip down there. read more

The location and ambiance alone is enough for 3 1/2 of the 5 stars. This is my second visit, and once again it did not disappoint. The menu is seasonal, so keep that in mind. We ordered the calamari and sushi for appetizers, which were very good. The California roll had caviar on top, which was a delectable treat. For entrees, we ordered the lump crab cake sandwich and the jumbo shrimp with braised pork. I dived into my sandwich before taking a photo LOL but just know, no filler comes with this sandwich. I normally do not add it to my crab cakes, however the remoulade sauce has some kick to it, so adding it to my sandwich was a must! The rice in the shrimp and pork had a little spicy kick to it as well. Go visit! The staff is wonderful, but ask if their best server Tai'lyor is working so you can receive top notch service. read more

PROS: Great service!! It was a slow day and we were able to sit on the patio with our dog around the fire pit. The Spicy Chicken Sandwich that my fiance' ordered was REALLY good but the fries - TRASH, the Caesar Salad was nice and fresh and thePoint Clam Chowder was AH-MAZING!! CONS: We were torn between the crab donuts and the mahi mahi tostadas but went with the donuts since it came highly recommended by the server. However, the crab donuts were not at all what we were expecting and was merely balls of dough with crab dip poured over top of it. The crab dip was VERY salty and the "donuts" didn't have any flavor to make them or the dish stand out. If the dish is revamped and they ease up on the salt, it has potential to be a uniquely great dish!! I honestly thought that it would be dough with crab dip in the center and some over top as well -- the description was misleading for sure! We both said that we would go again and try some of the other items we had our eye on and without the dog. read more

Came here for vday. Was a very chill spot. The food was very good and so was the service. I have no complaints except they may want to change the dipping sauce for the calamari. Other than that all of the food was good. Dope location too, I can tell it would look nice in the summertime. I would come here again. read more

The view was fantastic and the introduction was also, as the lunch proceeded the food was delicious but service went down hill. We noticed the restaurant started to fill up and there was only 1 server. The food was timely, we asked for a few things more as for beverages and we had to get up and ask for them. So overall it was a lovely experience but the team needs to work together better as a team. read more

I came here for my best friend's birthday dinner. It was our first time, and the restaurant is set against a quiet area of the SW waterfront with tranquil views. The restaurant itself is really nice, to be what seems like a very causal place ( in terms of how patrons dress) We sat outside right by the water and ordered cocktails which were great! My friend had the scallops which she thought were ok, I had the chalkboard special of the day which was a grilled white fish with roasted fingerling potatoes and asparagus. As I started eating it, I started to notice that one section was not fully cooked. I was super afraid I was going to get food poisoning, but the manager assured me I should not because it's also a fish used in sushi, and thus could be eaten raw. She was very apologetic and gave me a free Caesar salad, ( I didn't want to take my chances with the fish again.)I also ordered the crab donuts which were good. The star of the show was the strawberry shortcake dessert, it tastes like it's mixed with a bit of lime, and was absolutely divine!! Overall, the restaurant is nice, and I would come back. They just opened in April, so they are still working out some of the kinks. But the atmosphere is really nice, and the things they do well, they do really well! I'll be back! read more

Brand new and you can tell by the service. They were not very friendly until my guy friend came and kept ordering food & drinks. I hate snooty service workers who act like they are not there to do their job which is-SURPRISE!- to serve us. Needless to say, the wine, cocktails and food were very good. And the views are awesome. I'll be back but I hope they hire nicer, experienced wait staff and bartenders which would really make this a special spot in DC. read more

Finally made it to check out The Point. As a DC native I had to make my way down to ol' Buzzard Point and see what became of the old Coast Guard territory. Of course the view is amazing. Perfect water & sunset views AND a breeze on summer nights. Server: This was my third visit and I've had a couple servers but my favorite so far has been Mecca. Me & the crew caught him in the bar area...personable, knowledgeable & made a good cocktail = overall great service. The Parking: Street parking is limited. I mean no matter what's new in town it's still old SW DC real estate. The garage is convenient. Ran me $8-12 for a couple of hours. Valet $14. And of course the food: It's the same restaurant group behind Ivy City Smokehouse, Nick's, Tony & Joe's... so I made a lot of assumptions! The menu had similar choices/match ups! Was told the Brussels, crab donuts, wings & wood fired oysters were go to appetizers and of course I tried them all. Was not a fan of the donuts (it's crab dip and bread that can get soggy fast) but they delivered on the others. The BRUSSELS are a stand out, don't debate me...I'll get them EVERYtime. The only entrees I've tried so far are the Crabcake sandwich (not a lot of filler but not a large size) and the salmon (cooked perfectly, mushrooms and curry added a nice flavor). Will be back plenty times for hot girl summer! Stay tuned for updates! read more

I was very excited to try The Point DC. I've seen pics on social media and had to try it for myself. The views and decor are absolutely breathtaking! I love the modern/sleek look with pops of greenery throughout. I arrived 7 mins past my reservation and waited an additional 20 mins for a seat. There was much confusion at the host stand as to who was sitting my party. We opted for outdoor bar seating to get the full experience. We were promptly greeted by the bartenders who ensured we had a great experience. The ambiance, atmosphere, food and drinks are all top notch! Can't wait to come back! Food: Brussel Sprouts, Crab Doughnuts, Crab Cake Sandwich Drinks: Strawberry Mojito, Blackberry Mojito, Point Punch, Mezcal Drink Overall: 4/5, I loved the brussel sprouts and blackberry mojito. The crab cake was good but not worth $26 in my opinion. The ambiance and views are unmatched. Can't wait to dine here again! read more

Fun dishes in a bright open space by the water. I went to The Point twice in two weeks and had a nice experience both times. I tried a bite of food from almost all my family's dishes and they were all good. The appetizers didn't have serving spoons, but that's a common "mistake" in US restaurants. You have to try the Warm Crab Doughnuts! They were so satisfying and an ideal comfort food for an east coaster. I really liked the Hushpuppies but I wasn't a huge fan of the spicy sauce. I guess I just think honey butter works so well with Hushpuppies that any other sauce just doesn't feel right. I recommend the fish and chips. I was happy that the fish wasn't overcooked, which can be a problem when you fry fish. Out of the desserts, the s'mores was my favorite. They have a wide selection of beers and fun cocktails. I love the large indoor space, it has high ceilings and seating areas are well spread out. There is an open kitchen in the back and there is an area near the entry that has an opening to outdoors, which was nice as it was open for most of our meal. I wish it would've stayed open for our entire meal, but I guess as it was cloudy they didn't want to keep it open. I will definitely return and try to sit outside to enjoy the waterfront view. read more

When I see a new spot, I have to check it out! Waterfront- check! Seafood- check! Let's go! First- please know that this may not be the best place if games scheduled & you hate traffic like me. there are Dc's baseball and soccer stadiums within a few blocks. TRAFFIC BLOWS on a Saturday. That also means no parking other than the $12 valet. Cool. I'm an oyster snob, so for me, the grilled oysters were a bit greasy, but had decent flavor. The crab donuts were good to- and i understand customers have a love hate relationship with them. I choose neutral. Now the orca king salmon and the diver scallop entrees take the stars for me. Perfect cook on both. Not too heavy. Which also means, if you're supper hungry, you may need to add something to it. No starch here. But they were absolutely delish!!! And because I still needed my oyster fix, got some locals on the half shell! Try it. Nice views. Nice staff. Go them. read more

Decided to try this place after it being highly recommended to me by a relative. My husband took me here for my birthday dinner on a Saturday evening and to my surprise it was not crowded at all. We had plenty of seating options inside and out even though we had reservations. We were so overwhelmed by the plethora of food options on the menu, that we decided to get a bunch of small plates and share them. We had the crab donuts, clam chowder, oysters, wood roasted Chesapeake oysters, spicy tuna roll, & a shrimp tempura roll. When I say The Point doesn't disappoint, the customer service from being greeted until we left, the food, and the atmosphere, they are a 10/10 in my book and I will be back next week. read more

How beautiful is The Point! The establishment is beautiful, the view from the outside patio/bar is beautiful! Who doesn't love a water view! This place is pretty spacious with two bars (indise & out) and plenty of seating both outside and inside. My husband and I made reservations for 7:30 pm. We got there 30 mins late because of DC united traffic (we didn't know about the game). We were very lucky to actually find parking free right outside but there is a parking garage/ valet attached to thr building. We were seated immediately outside, per our request. Our waiter was Myra and she was amazing! We ordered a bottle of Prosecco to share. However, the cocktails look pretty good and I'll be back to try them soon. We orders oysters, mahi mahi Tostada & the special of the day Grilled Octopus for our apps. They were all delicious but the Mahi Mahi Tostada is the winner for me! Mush try! For dinner my husband ordered the duck and loved it. I ordered the Chesapeake Caesar with grilled salmon, medium. Whew, the salmon was cooked PERFECTLY! Crispy, crunchy skin! But the salmon was extremely moist and cooked to perfection! We got there pretty late so my pictures aren't the best but it's ok because the food, atmosphere, and waitstaff were all amazing! I'm happy to return soon. read more

It pains me to leave a bad review for a brand new restaurant, but I'm genuinely pretty taken aback by how poor the service was tonight. The hosts are definitely confused (I had to be put on hold twice when I tried to make a reservation for one on a Sunday evening... and it wasn't because customers were present). My reservation was for 5:15, but I wasn't sat until 5:40, and half the time waiting was spent standing next to my seat while someone retrieved cushions. In fact, the host said she would get cushions, but after 15 minutes of waiting, I had to chase someone down and remind them that I needed to be seated. After being seated, no one gave me a menu, water, or even addressed me (until I called a waiter over). Twice a waiter tried delivering the wrong order to me. All I ordered was a drink and app! To top it all off, I wanted to order dessert and another round, but had to ask two different people for a dessert menu, and no one followed up to ask if I wanted to order anything else. It's two hours post my reservation and I'm still waiting for my check for the two items I ordered. I understand that new establishments go through their tribulations when opening up a new restaurant. However, it's Sunday evening, the place isn't totally packed, and my entire time here I felt totally ignored. For what's it worth, the food was good and the drink was decent, but when I'm paying $15 for a cocktail, I expect decent service to go along with it. Perhaps I'll give this place a try in a few months, in hopes that they get their act together. But I won't be back anytime soon, there's plenty of cute places on the wharf that are more centrally located and offer far better service. read more

We had a office lunch meeting there in one of their private rooms. There was a set menu, where they graciously printed are Logo on our menus for added exclusivity. Emani the events manager was fantastic! Our first course choices were the point salad or The Point Clam Chowder. I got the Point Clam Chowder and boy was this chowder unique. With something called salmon jerky on top. And not just plain water crackers but Old Bay spiced water crackers added a touch of unique flavor. For the second course our choices were pan seared salmon oh, a grilled chicken breast trauma and a crab cake sandwich. When in Rome! Of course by the water I had the crab cake sandwich I subbed the french fries for a salad. The crab cake was moist and flavorful not too much breading and served with a nice remoulade on the side. This was a top-notch crab cake. Not the best I ever had but pretty good. The appetizer choices were the seasonal which was apple hand pies with a butter pecan ice cream and a caramel drizzle. Or a chocolate praline bar. I had the apple hand pies because they were seasonal and figured I could always come back and have the chocolate praline bar. The apple hand pies were delicious the caramel drizzle on the plate was so amazing it was not enough LOL I needed more! The chocolate praline bar was beautiful a work of art but a tiny little morsel of Heaven. Overall the experience was very special and I cannot wait to return.

The view at The Point is *gorgeous* and super romantic. Management was great also, checking in on us a couple times....we weren't greeted at our table for a good 15 minutes after being sat, but after recognizing the mistake, our server was great. The calamari was really phenomenal--we LOVED the spicy peppers and the cooling basil. And we *devoured* the mahi mahi tostadas, which were super flavorful. The fries, hush puppies, crab doughnuts, and brussel sprouts were all fine--I'd eat them again but not the best things on the menu. I was disappointed, however, in the wine pours--they must have measured it by the oz, as I had maybe 5 sips and the wine was gone! read more

Long wait for table, long wait for service, we were informed there is a time limit for tables, which is ridiculous considering the only thing that would make you go over the limit is the long wait for your food. Silverware was dirty. Food was greasy and overly salty. Feels like if Applebee's plunked into a gentrifying neighborhood and charged $23 for a burger. Only thing to recommend it is the view, but you can get that for free on the walking path and benches outside. read more

This was a beautiful restaurant! My family and I went on a Saturday evening and although it took awhile for our server to greet and take our order it was still a good atmosphere with a beautiful view of the water.

A hidden gem! I've waited so long to visit this restaurant and I was not disappointed. I highly recommend making reservations before going. It's nestled on 2nd street SW, close to Yards Park. I went here for my pre-birthday (4.02) dinner and we had a seat outside near the water. I was so impressed with the seating and there was not one insect in sight. We were sat near the seated fire pit(beautiful). Our reservation was at 4pm so we arrived right after the brunch menu and ending the lunch hour. The knowledgeable and friendly waitress recommended the mussels as an appetizer...I was in heaven! The freshness of the mussels and the sauce it bathed in, was AMAZING. It was served with a piece of sour dough bread that had been wood grilled! Drinks were very original and delicious. I had the Watermelon Jalapeño Margarita. I ordered the short rib that was served on a bed of mashed potatoes and asparagus. The short rib was so tender, I didn't need a knife to cut it. The portion size was plentiful. The waitress surprised me with a dessert and a lit candle for my birthday. The POINT exceeded my expectations. You must go!! read more

Amazing! Since this place changed head chefs this place went from okay to amazing. Crab doughnuts for 20 dollars!?!?! Yes please! Taiwanese style fried chicken as an appetizer?!?! Yes please! Coconut kimchi mussels!?!? Yes yes yes! That is only the appetizers. Entree we had chicken and waffles with a perfectly crisp and moist waffle. This is the kind of waffle you are always seeking. Smoked salmon Benedict. Amazing. Unique ant delicious. Deep fried French toast!?!? Be still my heart. Comfort food fancied up with stewed apples and soft serve. My mom also came and she is the biggest and harshest critic of resteraunt food. She could not stop eating the coconut kimchi mussels and she loved the crab doughnuts sooo much. She had to order it again! Another aspect I loved about this place. They control the noise level so it does not turn into another brunch night club environment where everyone has to shout to hear each other. Bravo! 1000% recommend. read more

I returned to The Point for Restaurant Week and had an amazing experience. The service I received was top notch. The waitress checked in on me between courses and was very friendly. My food came out quickly. I had lobster bisque for my first course. It was the best lobster bisque I had during Restaurant Week. It had chunks of lobster meat and was well seasoned. I had mussels for my second course. They were so delicious and I appreciated the interesting blend of flavors. I had an Oreo sundae for dessert as well. I look forward to returning in the future, especially since it's nearby. Free parking (with validation) in the parking garage was an added plus as well! read more

Went to The Point for the first time yesterday and was excited because I've heard good things about; unfortunately that was not my experience. Upon our arrival around 3:30p there was only one other party in the restaurant and were told there was going to be a private event outside at 4p, but we were told we could sit at the bar or at the tables directly next to the bar. It was fine until business got busier around 5p, server took longer to come back to the table to take our orders and eventually yelling "what's up!" From behind the bar to take our order. We were confused as to why the server was telling us to give our order from across the bar. That's when she told us we should have always done that. We expressed our concern to the manager Oscar and he apologized and said he'd look out for us next time we came back. I told him I doubt I would based on my experience with the subpar service. read more
