| - Absolute perfection from start to finish.
First, good food starts with good service, and I think we got the best server in the greater Cleveland area. He had genuine answers to all our questions (genuine in that he knew based on experience with a food or drink item rather than repeating what he'd been told to say about it). We took nearly all his suggestions - drinks, appetizers, specials - and were quite happy with the results. Plus, um, he was hot. Yeah, I said it.
We were celebrating, so we went all out: sampler appetizer, entrees all around, four different sides, and dessert. The sampler appetizer (calamari, crab cakes, and dumplings) was enormous - four hungry, happy ladies barely made a dent. As for entrees, I had the Filet Oscar (Filet Mignon and lump crab meat), and it was flawless. I heaped on lobster mashed potatoes and mushroom gnocchi and wished for a larger stomach.
Finally, I don't think you can go to Blue Point without commenting on the beauty of the space itself. Part wide open, part cozy; brass chandeliers and exposed beams. We had a table on the main part of the floor. Through the large windows, I got to watch the sky change to dusk behind Tower City Center as the meal progressed. Like I said earlier, perfection.
