The Poynt Newburyport

Went on a Friday evening for dinner. Indoor seating was full but plenty of seating outdoors in a beautiful evening. Service was excellent and food was all fresh and tasty. Loved the appetizers and variety. Dessert was a bonus. Donuts had small slices of apple. Huge serving so definitely meant to be shared. We rolled out happy and full. 😋

Oof, this was rough. We had high expectations but left disappointed. Service was great, ambiance is lovely but food was not good. Ordered the kung pao roll, burger medium rare, and had hoped to split the chicken bacon pizza with my son but when we asked if they would just do half of it bacon only the server asked the chef who refused…so pretentious and lame. So instead we ordered the cheese pizza and I ordered the steak dumplings. The roll was fine enough, nothing special. Cheese pizza came out quick and was decent. The burger was overcooked and dry and for some reason they decided to put the thickest slice of onion on it, completely unappetizing. The tomato was also super thick and mushy. The steak dumplings were so basic it reminded me of Applebees and the side salad they served with it

Love the Poynt! Have been there so many times and never wrote a review but it deserves a great one after our delicious dinner of lemon orzo shrimp, lemon chicken piccata and braised short ribs. The Brussel sprouts are the best anywhere! Chrissy our server was extremely friendly and attentive. Our cocktails were awesome and we LOVED the complimentary espresso martini concoction and strudel served for the Christmas stroll (and our server there as well!). This restaurant also rocks for brunch!!

Lovely place for a date night! We enjoyed the patio seating, generous wine pours and oh so delicious food. My favorite was the dumplings appetizer, and the scallop with risotto entree was pretty great too. My husband enjoyed his lobster pasta. The service was prompt but didn't check in on us too much, which was much appreciated. The chocolate torte for dessert was the bomb!

First time visiting this restaurant and will definitely return. Went on a summer Sunday morning at 11:30, no line, ordered bloody Mary’s at the bar while we waited for friends. The bloodies came with a large pimento olive, a lemon wedge and celery stick. Sat outside on the porch in the shade. Ordered their cider donut starter which is a donut lovers dream. 6 donuts the size of meatballs served with whipped cream and a glaze. Omg. Service was efficient. All 3 meals were excellent.
