the point at phoebus

i think this place is a true gem. i walked inside not knowing what to expect. i walked out planning my next visit. i enjoyed every moment from the minute i walked in the door. the staff, the atmosphere and oh man the food. i couldn’t decide on one entree so i ordered 3 just for myself. all 3 were seafood items. each one i was amazed. the chesapeake cioppino, southern friedshrimp& grits and lastly the blue sea mac n cheese. i already know what i’m ordering on my next visit but i can’t lie i may order the southern friedshrimp& grits again. i definitely was not expecting this before i walked inside. definitely not expecting a place this good in little ol phoebus. my new favorite place!!!!

i will never ever come to this establishment again. this was the most unpleasant experience ever. i visited this restaurant in hopes of good service despite the current yelp reviews. i came around 1 with some ladies from church. first and foremost it took a hour to receive our food. then once we received it 2 out of 3 chicken waffle meals were over fried and hard. i chose to go with theshrimpand chips meal for $12.00. the plate arrived ill presented with 4 tempura styled smallshrimpon a bed of wet fries. i asked the waitress was the meal missing shrimp? she said no that is all it is. i told her for $12 it should be a little more? then i told her that she could have the meal back. she asked me if i wanted anything else i kindly declined. i then asked to see the manager. because honestly i thought maybe the situation could be rectified. the manager comes over already with an attitude. i greeted her and asked about the shrimp. i said ma'am four shrimp? (jokingly in hopes to break the ice) immediately she was on the defense. she said yes that's right. that's what you get. i responded seriously? you can go to captain d's and get ashrimpmeal with an entree, two sides, a roll and a drink for maybe 8.99. that is crazy. i still was calm with a smile. she said that is the wayshrimpis priced out. it's fairly expensive ( lie. ) --- i could happily go into a spill about the market, how seafood is priced and local restaurants with more food and better hospitality for less money. but i didn't.--- i said okay...she said if i was you i'd go captain d's especially if you can't afford the $12.00 shrimp. i asked her to walk away from the table because i was with some very honorable ladies. 

i came to this place because it looked to be a cute niche restaurant like marker 20, taphouse, labodega, conch & bucket and mango mangeaux. the original plan was to go to brunch at mango mangeaux, because of the wait we came here. smh horrible experience. never will come here again. will most definitely share this review constantly. 

to be rudely serviced and told i couldn't afford something without a thought was the most mortifying experience in my life. i cant believe you all employ such an ill sprirted person. i do not and will not recommend this place to anyone. do not eat here.

salad, seafood & a beer. we visited the point on 4/12/15 for a late sunday afternoon lunch. i was going to have the spinach & scallop soup w/a salad but they were out of scallops so i went w/the cobb salad. my friend had the moby's treasure entree - minus the scallops. they supposedly added extra fish,shrimp& claims. add an ice tea, a 12 oz belgian triple & it was a $56.75 lunch for two. the atmosphere - charmingly quaint. the service - nice enough. presentation & quality of the food - fair to midland. their concept of local farm-to-table, organic, antibiotic free foods is a good one. that along w/their location & patronage numbers probably has them in a place where they have to serve smaller portions at higher prices. not sure if i'd go back but certainly worth experiencing once or twice.

what a find. this is our first time here and it was wonderful. our server was pleasant and on the ball, but didn't hover.

the food. some of the best i've had in a long time. i had the lobster mac n' cheese and omg. ask for a spoon, you're going to want to get every. little. bit. and loaded with lobster!

two in our party had the sea mixer and enjoyed it. i tried one of their hush puppies; it was better than average and cooked to perfection. a bit of a crunch with every bite. theshrimp& grits was great. the grits had been fried and again, a little crunch with every bite.

of course with such a good meal we had to try dessert. we had chocolate cherry bread pudding. put it on the regular menu -- it's a keeper! it alone would bring me back.

from start to finish it was a great dining experience. we'll be back -- soon!

over priced. i ordered the $14shrimpand salad. there were 5shrimpand about a cup of lettuce, 1 cherry tomato cut in half and very few thinly sliced pickled beats. with a cup of coffee and tax this came to almost $20 for lunch. i went in hungry and left the same way. while theshrimpand salad were well prepared, there simply wasn't enough. for phoebus this was way over-priced.
