Had our mother there for her 84th. Great food and the service was excellent. While the restaurant was busy there was no wait on food. Had a special dessert, poached pear, that was really good. I’ve eaten there several times and will be back

Celebrated my husbands , a close friend of ours and myself birthdays all in the month of November . Server was pleasant , attentive, neat appearance , and definitely made this celebration memorable . Thank you for the delicious tuxedo cake servings to finish our birthday experience for the evening . Every bite melted in my mouth and down to my hips . From the greeter to the young gentleman who cleared up the table area was excellent. Thank you again . Will plan to visit at the Pointe in the future and will recommend the restuarant for sure . Thank you again .
