Very Disapponting – This used to be my favorite restaurant when I lived in Plymouth. I recently returned for the summer (and will be coming back every year) and took a friend there for dinner. The food was extremely disappointing. I ordered seared tuna with sir fried vegetables and received a grey piece of fish on a soggy mess of vegetables swimming in a salty sauce. My friend's dinner was only slightly better -- overcooked fish on a small heap of (tasty) mashed potatoes. Both plates looked "slapped together" and not very ap... read more

A Great Place and a Solid "Very Good" – My wife and I went here for the first time on our anniversary. My wife does not eat red meat, but loves seafood. We were both very impressed. The restaurant is inviting and open. We didn't spend much time in the bar, but it looked very nice. We were dressed up, but it's not overly fancy. The food was a solid "very good". My dish was fantastic and my wife's was also very good. The prawns were a bit "blackened" for her liking, but she finished everything so it must not have been that bad... read more

They live up to their name. – It was a dark and stormy night . . .. Actually, it was. Saturday, 11 August. Rain, lightning. But our group of five was happily indoors, quite dry (until the martinis and wine arrived). Our appetizers were the ubiquitous fried calamari, Dungeness crab cakes, and seared scallops with polenta. While ubiquitous, the calamari were among the best we've had, and the scallops were very nicely done, with the polenta a nice touch. My wife and I lived in Seattle for a time and frequently partook of the jo... read more

Great food and customer service – Awesome world class food, super customer service, lots of TLC inspired me to submit my first foodie feedback post ever. Our uncle had a stroke recently, and though it makes it hard for him to get out of the house, it did not impair his desire for seafood. I called Blue Point and learned we could pick up anything on their menu to go. The large scallops were gently browned and tenderly DIVINE. They were served with a heavenly sauce and whipped potatoes topped with crisped onions. I did not kno... read more

Great Bar... Good Fish... Pip-Squeek Sized Lobster – In short, they have fine fish, a great bar, and they are right off Lake Minnetonka. They have disappointing sized lobsters. They didn't ever know what sea salt was... they brought Kosher salt, which works fine.

With the lake across the street from this upscale seafood restaurant, it's easy to imagine you're in a seaside town. – In Short Wood-shake siding, trophy fish and old plank floors give the Blue Point the look of a decades-old seaside eatery. The dark, woodsy bar offers full menu service for those who don't venture into the more formal dining rooms. Bluebloods come in for dependable surf-and-turf Sunday dinners, but a new crowd comes to the oyster bar and lively happy hour. The seafood menu changes nightly, although fresh-fro... read more

A Poor Man's Oceanaire – Well, not a poor man, a less well off man. This is a restaurant that fills the gap between the Outbacks and the $100-a-plates. The service was great, even if timing was a little off (gaps between appetizer/salad, and salad/entree), and the food was flavorful. My shrimp tasted fresh, as did my wifes snapper, and the house specialty dessert, key lime pie, was great. The wine list was impressive, and the calamari (with aioli) was VERY good. And we walked out for about $50 each (with appetizer, entrees, ... read more

Great Food and Service . . . Good Locale – If they would knock down some of those buildings across the street, this place would also have an excellent view of Lake Minnetonka! Expect a selection of a half-a-dozen or so fresh seafood and oyster choices (they vary somewhat every day) in adition to all the seafood restaurant standards. Everything is prepared exceptionally well and the service staff is quite competent. Granted, there are many FANCIER locales. . . but I'd rather not pay for high rent and upholstery. Probably the ... read more

Best Happy Hour In Town! – Clamari is tender because it's fresh, not frozen. Happy hour has calamari, mussels and 4-5 other dishes for around $5. Great atmosphere; quiet without being pretentious--teriffic dining rooms, great place to meet and talk. The food is always well prepared and the fish fresh.
