Blue Point Grill

My husband and I were craving oysters and a top notch seafood meal. We found Blue Point Grill in Newtown PA and decided to make reservations for an early Mother's Day feast. As I type I am finishing my rare, seared yellow fin tuna leftovers and they are divine. Even the bread and herbed butter tasted great reheated and it is bringing me back to our fabulous dining experience so I thought I'd strike my review while the iron is hot. We logged onto the website to make reservations and it couldn't have been an easier process. Bang we were reserved and a texted update asked us to confirm. My husband called to make sure they had GF options since he has a severe gluten allergy and they 100% were accommodating with his allergy with very few options that could not be prepared GF. They even make GF French fries that put McDonald's fries to shame-crisp thin light and delicious and even the ketchup tasted fresh as can be. Atmosphere. Trendy sheik and upbeat. a huge mounted sword fish with intricate aqua blue tiles makes the room feel like you are outdoors. The colors and decor are light and airy with a modern feel. Plenty of tables and booths with an oyster bar and a nice view of the kitchen from most tables and definitely the bar. Oysters: Our waitress was lovely and helpful in our selection of 12 oysters for $46. I had done my research so already had a basic idea of what we would select. She filled in the gaps with her keen knowledge and did not rush us. We ended up getting the special Californian oysters, Rhode Islands, Prince Edward Island and Massachusetts oysters. They came out beautifully executed on a raised bowl of ice. The toppings were lovely. The oysters were amazing. My husband wanted to try NJ so we ordered 4 more and he liked them best due to their size. I can't say their was a bad oyster and we enjoyed every second of consuming them one at a time. Our main courses were chosen with the help of our waitress and she said that she would not snub the farm raised selections. My husband went with the farm raised Halibut and Salmon combo and I went with the Wild Caught Yellow Fin tuna seared. We both got the garlic mashed potatoes and a side order of the GF fries. Dinners were delicious, and did not disappoint. The price is a bit on the high side, however it is well worth the cost with chef selections, super fresh seafood and a beautiful atmosphere. Our bill for two was $270 but remember that included the oysters and we had a bottle of wine. The wine was my only real complaint. The waitress did allow us to sample adequately first. The bottle we selected was very salty and vinegary. We didn't much like the other bottles we selected either including their Malbec, so we went with the cheapest. Maybe their $60-$80 selections were a better choice. My only suggestion to improve a perfect night would be to add a better selection of $40 to $50 wines to enjoy without breaking your bank. This did not distract too much from a fabulous and unique dining experience. Quite a party in the mouth in a good way. haha. Highly recommend for a special occasion to seafood and oyster lovers in the area.

Mike Nader was our server, and gave us excellent advice on what to order, and how to make the items gluten free! Definitely will return, Blue Point Grill is a great addition to our neighborhood dining experience.
