The Scene – Housed in one of the city's most stunning modern buildings, this soaring, curvy space is the epitome of theatrical Buckhead glitz. At lunch, power players wheel and deal in vivid, comfy chairs among brawny steel beams and slinky woods. The mood softens at night, when the provocative bar glows. Servers are polite and well intentioned. The menu tests the limits of East-West creations. Dishes like the melt-in-your-mouth Kasu butterfish, glazed with miso and served with sesame cucumber salad prove the kitchen can pull off complex ideas that are also startlingly satisfying.…

Editor's Tips

When to Go:
BluePointe's Martini Nights on Tuesdays have become an Atlanta tradition among the jet-set crowd and an energetic crowd assembles to sip the signature apple martini.
Where to Sit:
BluePointe has a five-seat sushi bar that's perfect for a light bite before catching a movie across the street at Phipps Plaza.

  1. poor service, poor atmosphere.
  2. Beautiful decor and very cool lighting effects on the wall behind the bar ... efficient and prompt service from wait staff and bartenders ... personal royal treatment ... delicious salads and entrees ... yummy martinis.
  3. The atmosphere is "quintessential Buckhead", and the food is fabulous in presentation and such unique blending of flavors.
  4. terrific food good atmosphere
  5. The atmosphere was nice, however they could not even get our initial drink order correct.

  8. Great fun and great food.
  9. The food is great, the atmosphere reminds me of New York, and the drinks are wonderful.
  10. It had been several months since I had last dined at Bluepointe, so when a friend called to suggest a fun dinner out, we both remembered what a great experience we'd had there on our last visit!
dessert
52.5% positive
  1. The service was constantly attentive and anticipated our every wish including a birthday dessert which we didn't announce but which the waiter picked up when he saw the gifts.
  2. The service was very good- a bit amusing how many different people stopped by to ask how we were doing- but they treated us to a lovely salty caramel/chocolate birthday dessert that tasted like toffee.
  3. Did not even get dessert because everything else was so disappointing.
  4. Hostess was a bit snappish (stressed for seemingly no reason as the restaurant was NOT that crowded, odd for a Saturday night) ... the "coffee pot" dessert was a joke (small, ridiculous-looking, not very tasty.

Bluepointe: Place to Avoid

by Ujjayant Chakravorty

I went to eat there and ordered the spring rolls. The menu didnt see the had shrimp and being allergic, i fell quite sick. I asked for the manager and he said he will comp the bill. I thought that was a nice gesture. However, when the bill came, they charged us the full amount. When I asked for the manager, the waiter said he left for the day. Real unprofessionalism! I had to return home and throw up.

Will never go there again..

  • Pros: nice ambience
  • Cons: They can kill you

Need to re-evaluate

by traptrap

Cooking is not just adding condiment. Need to understanding balance of them. Just too much salt in all dishes.

  • Pros: service
  • Cons: taste and price

Went here for my partners birthday dinner - and was not disappointed. Raw bar and sushi was fresh and tasty. Overall service was good and wine decent. I expected to pay a bit and the bill was about $150 for a dinner for two. The interior was cool my only complaint is the booth table are so wide, instead of a romantic birthday dinner for two you felt a bit like we were looking at each other from a distance and we both were a bit hoarse from having to speak so loudly to hear each other. Would definately recommend it and would enjoy coming back.
