I like to typically post about restaurants in and around Huntington but this week I’m in Montauk working on my book, so I chose a local favorite to review. I went into the Point Bar and Grill to try out their bar fare and it left me less than enthusiastic. I’m inclined to believe that when you’re faced with little to no competition, you give a perfunctory effort. That’s the only explanation that I can give for the quality of food that the Point offered.
I ordered the wings and the calamari. The calamari were tough and not fresh which surprised me considering that we were steps from the ocean. Not only did they not taste that good, for some reason the restaurant chose not to season them. They were bland and flavorless. I forced myself to eat them only because I was hungry as hell. After each bite, I took a gulp of Heineken to ease my taste buds. Yes, the beer taste better. I followed up the calamari with the wet, spicy wingettes. They were damn near the worse wings I ever tasted. I was so disappointed. The only saving grace was that I ordered my food during happy hour so they were half priced. The wings thankfully were cooked, but the sauce was way too hot and way to wet. It was like they cooked them and then drenched them in sauce. I was amazed.
I don't know what was worse, the wings or me being a glutton for punishment and going back to try them a second time. I definitely have to venture out and look for a different spot to try the next time i'm out in this beautiful town. Montauk had a lot to offer unfortunately the bar fare at the Point wasn't one of them.
