We have eaten at the Poynt a few times, it has a nice location and atmosphere with a lively bar area. Very modern, open layout.The food has been consistently good and the service excellent. The only downside is that it can be difficult to hold a conversation, as is common in these open layouts. Now I would only go for lunch or if I knew it was going to be less busy.Hi Robert,We are glad you enjoy our atmosphere, food and service. We understand it can get quite noisy when we are busy! Be sure to visit us for lunches on Thursdays & Fridays during the summer. Thank you for taking the time to review us, we appreciate the feedback.Thanks,Katie

Browsing through Newburyport, found good reviews for Angie's and decided to give it a try. Line went to the back of the restaurant but moved quickly. Standard mom and pop diner menu. Cheesesteak and gyro were both very good, coffee refills plentiful, good seasoned waitress. Perfect spot for a good quick meal, would definitely return.

This is a great location, and they've landscaped so that it's beautiful outside as well. They had some great choices in terms of food, and what we had was really good - lobster bisque had plenty of lobster in it, and the lobster roll was delicious. However, the service was slow (our server disappeared at times - one time to bring me water, which never materialized) and the lack of cleanliness was really off-putting. I've attached a photo of some sort of fixture hanging from overhead our table - and it's covered in cobwebs. Long, drippy cobwebs. (In early September - this wasn't a Halloween decoration). And a bug in the sink in the bathroom which I reported to the people at the host stand who could not have cared less.There's such potential there - I want to believe that at dinner time the service would better, but there's still the issue of the cobwebs, which didn't happen overnight.Hello, and thank you for writing about our establishment. I'm happy you enjoyed your food and our views. Being an indoor / outdoor restaurant, we do open ourselves to insects coming in, despite precautions we take such as air blowers above doorways. I'm sorry you felt the host did not care about your observation, but I do recall a host getting me for that exact reason in September. Whether it was your instance or another I am not sure. Thank you again for coming to see us and we hope you will come by the next time you are in the area. Regards,Beau

We enjoyed eating at this restaurant close to the waterfront. The place was bustling on a Saturday evening, but we were able to get an inside table. Wine by the glass was pricey, although the serving was generous. I ordered flounder, which was really fresh and came with a heap of garlic potatoes and squash. Our server was great, however, as she cleared the table, she broke my husband's water glass. An unfortunate accident that she apologized profusely for.

Walking to downtown from our guest house we passed the MSG and noticed that they were running a happy hour special so we ventured into the converted church. To our delight, everything on the âBarâ menu was 1/2 price. We chose a shrimp cocktail, a flatbread pizza and a burger. Each was delicious and we were delighted we stopped. We recommend. Thank you, DJMCCG. We look froward to welcoming you back again - our bar menu is a great deal, right? Thank for your great review & for stopping in.

Wow...didnât think there could be more uncomfortable seating in an eating establishment. We sat at the bar before dinner and had to turn sideways as there wasnât enough âlipâ to sit comfortably. It looks as though they tried to extend it by screwing a piece of metal on...but it was a feeble and unsuccessful attempt.The table seating wasnât much better and the persons in our party that sat on the isle were continually brushed by the hips and asses of the servers as they walked by.In terms of the service and fare....meh. Servings were very small and standard in taste. The meals came out slowly but the server came over 3 times to see if we needed additional drinks. When the food came out it was lukewarm...like they were trying to get us to order more drinks before we ate...we prefer to eat our meals sober thank you.The prices were very high and the value was extremely low. We left hungry and annoyed...at the uncomfortable seating, the pushing of drinks, the pedestrian food, and exorbitant prices. No fun AT ALL.

Good food, courteous staff, fair prices. Full of locals which usually means consistent food quality. We always look for a restaurant with a lot of locals. We had chicken salad and tuna salad. Pretty normal fair. The freshness was noticeable. The chicken salad was homemade. The place was packed for lunch and it was past 2:00 oâclock. An Enjoyable quick meal.

The other reviews were right! The french toast bagel was awesome! Bought an assortment (wish I bought a few more of the french toast ones!) along with their homemade cream cheese. Yum! Ate them at our AirBnb - not much seating, although thereâs a beautiful courtyard nearby.
