Pine Point Grill — Restaurant in Scarborough

I heard about this place from a friend, and after seeing all the great reviews online, I was really excited to try it. I made a reservation for two a couple of days in advance for 5 PM, and it took less than a minute to do online—super easy.

When we arrived, the main parking lot was full, but there was plenty of parking behind the building and next to the church next door. We were greeted right away and seated in a cozy corner of the dining room. Even though the restaurant was busy, it didn’t feel loud or overwhelming. The atmosphere was chill, and the tables were spaced out enough that it still felt kind of private.

We started with the cucumber watermelon feta salad, the strawberry spinach salad, and the chef’s cheese board (they also brought out some fresh focaccia). The watermelon salad was so refreshing and fun—there were pop rocks on top, which was such a unique touch. My friend said the strawberry salad was light and flavorful, perfect for summer. The cheese board had a great mix of cheeses and a fig jam (which was sooo good) and paired perfectly with the focaccia.

For our mains, I got the short rib mac & cheese and my friend got the bolognese. The mac & cheese was insane—easily the best I’ve ever had. The short rib was super tender, the sauce was creamy, and the noodles were cooked just right. I’m already excited to eat my leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

Our server, Hilary, was amazing—so friendly, great energy, and extremely attentive the whole time. Everything about this place was just great—the food, the service, the vibe. It definitely lived up to the hype. I highly recommend it and can’t...

We are Full-Time RVer's and we travel from place to place about every 2 weeks. We leave reviews for every place we visit. So, we saw this restaurant several times and kept saying we should try it. Looked them up online to make sure it didn't say reservations only and it didn't so we attempted to go there. I was greeted at the door with a scoured looking woman who I no know as the owner. She pointed to 2 bar seats that were open but didn't speak lol. I said are you reservations only and she shook her head yes. Still no words. So we decided the next day to make a reservation and try them out. I still didn't know she was the owner. When we arrived the same lady greeted us at the door and I told her our name and she didn't speak she pointed to a table for us to go sit at. No she didn't seat us at this so called reservation only restaurant. The restaurant was small and quaint exactly what we were looking for. As we are ordering drinks and appetizers, we always order a bottle of wine and take the remainder home with us. We were celebrating and wanted to order a shot for each one of us to do a toast to another successful month. We ordered 2 appetizers and 2 dinners. We were denied our celebratory shots. She assumed who was driving, she assumed everything making an a** out of herself. After everything I will tell you the food was great, but the customer service aka the owner is AWFUL!!!! Remember we went there twice and were treated exactly the same. So it wasn't just a bad day! That is...

Ate there twice recently. First experience was great. Cocktails made right. Steak was juicy, flavorful with good texture and done as ordered. Beet salad also good. Had spicy walnuts which seemed unusual but might be how it's done locally and they were good. Could have used a few more greens. Desserts were good, not great - ruhbarb (sp?) tart and ice cream sandwiches. Server was really good. She didn't rush us and was just attentive enough. Second night not as good as first. Scallops and margarita pizza were good. Caesar salad good but sent back because dressing not served on side as requested. Side order on Brussels sprouts was good but had so much sauce you could hardly taste the sprouts. Red wines (a Cabernet and a blend) were ok but too warm. Server not nearly as good. She was not rude but seemed not to care that much. Website doesn't give closing time. Google says 9:00 Wednesday thru Sunday, but tried to get reservation for 8:00 on Sunday and they told me the kitchen closed at 8:00. I asked if we could get there by 7:45 if we could get in. Uh, uh. Ok, I can tell you really don't...
