My husband and I found Blue Point Grille through reviews online, and we are thrilled we did. We both are still raving about our meal the next day. I had the grouper and he had the blue heaven seafood meal. We started with oysters and a bottle of Sancerre, ending on a high note with crème brûlée and cheesecake. It was an expensive experience, but it was worth it for the delicious food and helpful staff. They spaced out the courses very nicely, and while it was decadent, it wasn’t overly rich. We will be back next time we are in Cleveland. 10/10

The cuisine was fantastic.... very busy for Christmas dinner. Unfortunately, but not unexpected service was slow because of staff shortage. My daughter is a sous chef and actually applied here. Needless to say, she didn't even get an interview. They needed help this day for sure

We had a very good meal at Morton's on a very busy Christmas Day. There are very few restaurants open on Christmas and Morton's tried to take care of all their guests.

It was my wife's birthday (12/18/24) so to try something new we drove 1½hr to try the Haunted House Restaurant Well worth it! We had an awesome experience. Food was delicious and at a reasonable price. I had the Texas Chainsaw burger and fries while she had the Shaggy which was 2 black waffles with banana pudding and caramel sauce. Everything on the menu is named after a horror movie or Halloween related. You can look online for their menu. The decor was done in everything Horror movie related also. Pennywise, Chucky, Christmas Nightmare etc. Michael Myers was there also. At first I thought he was a statue but once he moved...scared the $#@& out of me! He does his role VERY WELL! The waitress and him even did a little birthday dance for the wife 😆 We had reservations for 4pm. We arrived exactly at 4pm and was walked to our table. After our waitress took our order it was only about 15-20 mins for our food to arrive. Parking wasn't an issue...we parked across the street at the Family Dollar store since we went there before the restaurant. We had a great time and will be back! Definitely would recommend!
