This place is really great. I made a reservation for an early supper; and, thankfully, their dinner service starts at 5pm. The staff are really kind and attentive. My waitress, Ingryd, was superb! For appetizers, I ordered the Caesar Salad with the crab dusted fries; and their signature "Presidential Jaques' to drink. For dinner, I had the Lobster Caccio e Pepe and the Shrimp & Pork Dumpling Plate with a Sauvignon Blanc for drinks. I spent around $200 but that's because I had a big appetite and Ingryd deserved a great tip. Each order is about 20 bucks, more or less. So a drink, an appetizer and a main dish will run you around $60-80 dollars; plus a tip, you might spend $100 per person. My only critique is, I would've preferred both my plates to come out together. Instead, the dumplings arr

A must-visit for seafood lovers! Waypoint provided a delightful culinary experience, and I'd highly recommend it. Oyster: The $2 oyster special is a must-try. On the night of my visit, there were three local options and one from Canada. I particularly loved the creamy Massachusetts oyster, and the Canadian option was delightfully clear and meaty. Caviar & Donut: This dish was a bit disappointing, as the caviar flavor was quite mild. However, the donut holes were a fantastic surprise—freshly fried and perfectly delicious. Hamachi Crudo: This dish was excellent. The rich, oily hamachi was perfectly balanced by the spiciness of the jalapeño. Grilled Whole Branzino: This was the highlight of the night. The fish was grilled to perfection, with a wonderfully crispy skin that sealed in the fr

The food was incredible, there was so much going on in each dish. It was all about smaller sharable plates, so everyone got a bit of everything. The atmosphere was more casual than id expect, which was nice. The service was almost too fast, they didnt leave any anticipatory room between ordering and getting the food, so by the time we were done with our main meal only about 35 minutes had passed since we sat down (i liked this). Go here if you want phenomenal (and a bit expensive) food.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Michael Tarselli · Nov 2025

Got there just at opening on a Wed night. Staff were accommodating and set us up early at the bar before our table. Interesting drink menu with blend of absinthe, wine, and cocktail / mocktails. Expected the fish and chips to be stellar, but found it overcooked and salty. The pizza? A home run; easily the best thing I ate there. Good ambience and lighting; weird chairs and tables. Would return.

Was looking for $1 oysters happy hours and stumbled upon this restaurant. No more $1 oysters, it’s $2 all day everyday. This is not a deal breaker for me so I decided to stay for dinner. First off the oysters tasted foul.. I should have go against my rule and send it back.. hopefully I won’t get sick from eating them second, the Uni pasta didn’t taste any Uni in it. Instead it was super salty. So was the Cesar salad. The two cocktails I had was decent. Nothing to run back for but they were the only positive items I didn’t want to send back
