The Point brings the thrill and robust flavors of open flame cooking with the freshest seafood in the city. Perfectly situated at the confluence of the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers, our contemporary design, tranquil open-air patio and premium fire pits, compliment the picturesque and panoramic views. Although we cannot guarantee outdoor patio dining for all of our guests. We will try to accommodate as many requests as we can on a first come first serve basis.

We had their Thanksgiving dinner and everything was delicious. The service is outstanding. The GM even stopped by to see if we were enjoying our meal and shared a recipe with us. Highly recommend

The ambience, food and service was good. The cocktails could do with an upgrade (garnish/ looks ) they were good though.

The food (crabcake, oysters, mussels) was excellent, as was the ambiance being on the waterfront. Two complaints: 1. The main course arrived right after the appetizers. Evidently they don't understand about timing of a meal. 2. They sneaked a 5% "operating fee" onto the bill. This trend of sneaking surcharges onto diners is not unique to Point, but we diners need to push back. The excuse given is that these charges are a response to a recent DC initiative that changed how tips are allocated, but come on, restaurants, the tips should go to the staff, and you should deal with that and be honest about your pricing.

We’ve been to the Point four to five times now and make it a place for brunch whenever we’re in DC. We stopped by after homecoming this weekend and once again we were happy with the choice. My wife had the red snapper which was excellent I had the crabcake. We started with some oysters for the appetizers and appreciated the servers suggestion on having a Chardonnay with the oysters versus a cocktail. Speaking of service, once again we had a great server. If you want to keep coming back, this has been consistent with our experience and appreciate the managers stopping by to check on our experience. There is a lot of congestion from building downtime so take the first parking you can find, other than that we really great experience. Highly recommend and we’ll be back.
