Bistro 25 East - BLUE POINT

The food is fantastic and the staff is very friendly!

The food was amazing, and the service was excellent. Everything adhered to COVID regulations, whether you choose to dine inside or outside.

I visited this restaurant with some local friends, and I was impressed by how well they handle COVID safety. The tables are nicely spaced apart, and there was live music on Saturday night—although I’m not sure if that’s a routine feature. The menu has a variety of options catering to everyone’s tastes. The food was outstanding, and the service was very attentive. I would definitely return!

As we settled in, we noticed a singer setting up and got excited about the live performance. However, as soon as we ordered the potstickers, we realized the singer was really struggling with some classic songs. The potstickers were one of the few bright points of the evening. When our main courses arrived, we were disappointed. We ordered beef brisket, which was drastically overpriced, and the quality of the meat made it seem like it had been cooked days earlier and simply reheated. For two people, our bill came to nearly $80. And the drinks? Just watered-down $3 lemonades served in large shot glasses. If you’re looking for a pleasant night out, I would not recommend this place.

I went to dinner with my wife and kids and was disappointed to find that the website didn't mention the restaurant only had outdoor seating. I wasn't really in the mood for a picnic-style meal when it was 70% humidity outside. I understand the situation with COVID, but still, it wasn't ideal. The menu was quite limited, and they were out of several items. The food was average—nothing remarkable to note either way. The atmosphere left much to be desired; it was uncomfortably hot, even with an umbrella at our table shielding us from the sun. The worst part was the mosquitoes—they were relentless. Overall, eating outside in 85-degree weather with high humidity was not an enjoyable experience.
