One of the Best in the Gaslamp
Top notch food, coupled with fine service and a pleasant atmosphere make Blue Point one of the best places to eat in San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter. The appetizers are tasty (try the Spicy Thai calamari), the seafood is incredibly fresh (Miso Marinated Sea Bass - MMmmm :-), but my personal favorite entrees are the interesting ways they prepare the meats. My favorite (Rib-eye with blue cheese) isn't on the menu right now, but the bacon and stilton filet mignon is a pretty good substitute. The wine list, though not overwhelming, has some very good choices and isn't priced too badly, either.    [09 Nov 2000 21:15:16]

Not to go
Blue Point Restaurant is a big disappointment. The space is overcrowded with the tables. Waitresses and guests often bump into chairs when passing by. The atmosphere is too noisy and too busy for a relaxed dinner. If you have strong voice and your ears are trained well, you might hear your company across the table. Otherwise, you will hear only your neighbors yelling to each other. The managers and the staff are too pushy, giving you clear signs when it's time for you to leave. After you pay, do not expect that you will get another glass of water; you simply do not exist any more. Food is not as good as expected, but expensive. Dessert and the wine list are excellent. We spent $50 per person plus a tip. Overall recommendation is: DO NOT GO.    [13 Sep 2003 19:26:00]
