Review of BluePointe: A Perfect Birthday Celebration by the Hudson

Celebrating my son's 12th birthday at BluePointe in Newburgh, NY, was an unforgettable experience. As a seafood lover, my son had been asking for a seafood tower for some time, and I knew this was the perfect place to indulge his cravings. Nestled along the scenic Hudson River, BluePointe offers a delightful blend of delicious seafood and breathtaking views, making it an ideal spot for special occasions.

The seafood tower was the highlight of our meal, stacked high with fresh clams, oysters, jumbo shrimp, and crab meat. The presentation was stunning, with a generous array of seafood that looked as good as it tasted. The oysters were incredibly fresh, with a briny sweetness that paired perfectly with the house-made mignonette sauce. The clams were tender and juicy, the jumbo shrimp were plump and succulent, and the crab meat was sweet and delicate. We savored every bite, although a couple of clams remained uneaten, a testament to the generous portion sizes.

Dining outside on the Hudson River was a truly enchanting experience. The weather was perfect, with a gentle breeze and clear skies that added to the ambiance. The picturesque view of the river and the surrounding landscape made our meal even more enjoyable. BluePointe's outdoor seating area is beautifully designed, offering a relaxed yet elegant atmosphere. The combination of good food, great company, and a stunning setting made for a memorable birthday celebration.

We arrived just in time for BluePointe's renowned happy hour, which runs from 4 pm to 7 pm on weekdays. During this time, they offer $1 oysters, an incredible deal that we couldn't resist. The oysters were fresh and flavorful, and at such a reasonable price, we indulged in several rounds. The happy hour specials are a great way to enjoy high-quality seafood without breaking the bank, and it's a feature that keeps us coming back.

While we didn't have room for dessert this time, BluePointe's dessert menu is impressive. From past visits, I can confidently recommend their carrot cake. It's moist, flavorful, and topped with a rich cream cheese frosting that perfectly balances the spices in the cake. Even though we were too full to enjoy it this time, it's a must-try for anyone with a sweet tooth.

The service at BluePointe was exceptional, with attentive and friendly staff who made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. They were knowledgeable about the menu and happy to accommodate any requests. The overall experience was seamless, from the efficient seating to the timely arrival of our food.

BluePointe has become one of our favorite spots for special occasions. The combination of excellent seafood, beautiful views, and warm hospitality creates a dining experience that feels both luxurious and inviting. Whether you're there for a birthday celebration, a casual meal, or just to enjoy their fantastic happy hour, BluePointe consistently delivers.

As we left the restaurant, my son was beaming with happiness, and I couldn't have been more pleased with our choice. BluePointe provided the perfect setting for a memorable birthday celebration, and I look forward to many more visits in the future. It's a place that holds a special place in our hearts and continues to impress with every visit.
