The Point Kitchen and Bar — Restaurant in Live Oak

I ate here once with a group of friends. I had a steak and it was good. I thought this would be a good place to invite out of town family for Christmas Eve dinner. My mother called several weeks in advance and thought she had made reservations. I too called to confirm and was told we had a reservation. I did have to call back a couple of times because the person who answered the phone didn’t know if they were even open Christmas Eve. That seemed strange to me. I called another time to re confirm and as told by the staff member that they did not have the reservation book in front of them so couldn’t check. How come they couldn’t have put me on hold and go get it? Anyways Christmas Eve I decided to call in a few hours ahead and see if we could com in earlier. The person said “ we don’t have your name on here for a reservation , but it’s not busy so come in when you’re ready” . We showed up about an hour later and were then informed that the kitchen was closed for th evening due to a failure in their venting system. Sure I get that but why didn’t the person I spoke to mention that when I called? We should have gotten a call regarding our “non” reservation reservation warning us that the kitchen was closed due to failed exhaust. Totally unprofessional and unacceptable. Sure the food was good the one time I went there but I will not be returning there or recommending the place to anyone I know. The 2 stars is for...

Update : had a burger there....so bomb!!!!! So juicy and they use chabatta bread. Also we had a much nicer and attentive waitress this time so 5 stars now instead of 4 because service so important

This restaurant provided the most fantastic dining experience that my girlfriend and I have had since the start of our relationship! The food was absolutely divine, to use my girlfriend's word. She had the Salmon (which melted in our mouths) on a bed of wilted spinach & white wine horseradish sauce. I had the special t-bone steak (perfectly cooked medium rare) smothered in a delicious mushroom sauce and a twice-baked potato on the side which needed Nothing added (no salt, no butter, etc) was perfect. The olives in my girlfriend's drink, stuffed with drop dead delicious blue cheese (hand made by the restaurant staff weekly), were amazing and simply addictive! Even the cherries they used in my Makers Mark Manhattan were on point!

Top off the food experience of your dreams with a waiter, John, who was beyond fantastic. Every one of his recommendations, including the pinot noir we had to finish the meal, was, simply put, perfect.

So, all in all, our evening was made amazing by this wonderful restaurant and the people that run it. If I could rare this place 10 stars, it would still rank an 11.

Thank you so much for...
