The fish was cooked to perfection, flaky yet moist, and the sauce had a delicate balance that elevated the dish without overwhelming it.

  • I have driven by this place many times but when wife said she wanted to go one day I knew that was the hint for mother's day. I will start with that the staff is very friendly. Kept us updated on the status of our order and they have good communication with the kitchen to know what's out. We started with sweet chili shrimp and fried calamari...... so good! The shrimp was fresh never have we had it that good! A must try if you get the chance to go. Entree was short rib and garlic mashed potatoes, Costa Rican mahi mahi, crab stuffed shrimp and fish & chips. Beautiful presentation, perfect portion for each person. No over or under seasoning everything was just right. Desert we shared a passion fruit ice cream and mango sorbet. A nice change from what we had for dinner very fragrant and unique flavors.

  • Been coming here for the last 20+ years and still love it. These days, ordering the jalapeño lime shrimp, oysters, and crab dip have been compulsory. I miss the blackened catfish, which may be something that comes back, but I just haven't seen it in awhile. No matter, this place will remain in my permanent rotation.

  • You want a good selection of fresh fish, well prepared, reasonable prices, friendly atmosphere and BYOB? In Princeton? Look no further. Never had a bad meal here. Music on some nights and don't miss the desserts. They are also simple but quite good. I hesitate giving a good review as it gets crowded enough. Good thing they expanded. I love this place.

  • Charming spot on Main Street with a warm, casual vibe. The fish was incredibly fresh, cooked just right to highlight its natural flavor rather than overpower it. I loved that it’s BYOB—it gives the whole experience a relaxed, personal touch. The mussels in mustard cream sauce were the star of the night: tender and plump, with a sauce that struck the perfect balance of briny seafood sweetness, sharp mustard, and silky cream. A dish that makes you want to grab bread just to savor every drop. I’ll definitely be back to see what else the kitchen does well.

  • I first came to Blue Point Grill many years ago, maybe almost ten years ago.. I’m not sure why I waited this long to come back. The food here is incredible. For seafood lovers, this is the place to be. There is so much variety, more than just your standard salmon or tuna. They got it all. I started with grilled calamari - I was skeptical at first, since calamari is generally fried, but I’m glad I took the waitress recommendation. It was delicious! The meat was perfectly cooked with a nice garlic sauce - perfect texture and flavor. The same for the grilled octopus as well. Even the Greek salad was amazing. For my entree, I got the crispy barramundi on risotto. It was very good, maybe a bit too crispy for my liking, but the flaky white fish inside was scrumptious. Finished off dinner with a pound cake brûlée. Which is like a pound cake, but one side is brûléed, forming a crispy torched crust. Amazing. Will definitely be back again!

  • I visited Blue Point Grill in Princeton, NJ, and it definitely delivers a polished, upscale dining experience. The restaurant is very nice inside with plenty of seating, and it has that refined atmosphere that makes it great for a date night or special occasion. The service was impeccable from start to finish. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience feel smooth and well paced. As for the food, it was very good, fresh, and well prepared. The seafood quality is clear, and everything was cooked with care. That said, while the dishes were great, they were not the absolute best I have ever had. Also, the portion sizes are on the smaller side, especially considering the price point, and the place is definitely on the expensive end. Parking can also be a challenge, especially during peak hours, so be prepared to circle around or walk a bit. Overall, Blue Point Grill is a high quality, upscale seafood spot with fantastic service and a polished atmosphere. The food is very good, though the portions and pricing might make it more suited for when you want a refined experience rather than a big, hearty meal.

  • If I could give the food 10 stars.. I WOULD! A definite recommendation for seafood lovers & them being BYOB just adds to the perfection. We had the octopus which was delicious along with the crab cakes . For my entree I had the Seafood Bouillabaissee which was phenomenal (a must try)! The food is soo fresh it's an understatement. I was recommended by my friends and was amazed, will definitely be back!
