We decided to try a new venue last night, Sand Point. Apparently a former food truck now a brick and mortar establishment it’s been open just a few months or so. We made reservations and were seated immediately. The service was prompt initially but we were warned the kitchen was short tonight and it may take a bit to get our food. No problem.our friends Mike and Cindy showed up in a few minutes and we ordered drinks.
The menu features mostly seafood appetizers and mains. A few meat entrees grounded out the menu. We tried some appetizers, fried clam strips and lobster arancini. Since the kitchen was slow we order entrees at the same time.
The appetizers were very good and came out quickly. Before we finished them, our entrees showed up…so much for a slow kitchen. I had a bowl of Lobster bisque and crab cakes. The bisque was not hot and the crab cakes were…meh. Brenda and Cindy had the swordfish but it was over cooked and dry. Mike had a pricey lobster roll with butter and a bowl of bisque. His bisque was hot but he ordered buttered lobster and thought the mayo version might have been a better choice. When we visited Maine a few years back, lobster rolls were not our go to. Pricey and kind of okay but not compared to a whole lobster dinner for much less.
All in all, despite pretty decent service, the food was disappointing especially for the cost. Mike bought the wine and we split the rest. Our portion, including tip was $99.
Unless I hear they are hitting the mark better in the future, I’m not sure we will return anytime soon.
