Amazing food and wine! The care and level of service is fantastic! If you haven't visited the point I highly recommend it.
One of the best dining experiences ever had.
Brilliant food well prepared and well matched with wines. Excellently catered for special tastes of one of the diners. Will recommend widely. Thanks
Booked from online a night before,easily got a table. Upon our arrival, staffs greeted us nicely and took us to the allocated table near the window (would have been nice if it was during the day). The staffs have been keeping an eye on our table and making sure we have a great night,like offering us sourdough and keep refilling our water.
Food:
O’connor eye fillet
Pumpkin and potato sides
Chinese date pudding
Opera cake
The food was not like we had expected. It was a bit pricey, although eye fillet was cooked as we requested but there’s less flavour and lack of seasoning. We have to ask for more salt to add on top of it. The sides was allright and size was decent. Furthermore, we ordered chinese date pudding and opera cake dessert after we wait for 25 minutes. Opera cake was allright,not to sweet and pretty presentation on plate. Chinese date pudding was an okay too. The taste was balance, a little bit sour and little bit sweet,perfect combination.
The staffs was really great at serving us,cannot complaint. The place and the ambience was nice and romantic,good for special occasion with your beloved ones. However, the food was not as we expected.
Overall, great place,great view, great ambience, great staffs unfortunately not so great food.

Came here with my boyfriend to celebrate our anniversary with The Point’s 7 course degustation menu. This restaurant has been on my list for a while and certainly didn’t disappoint. For the price paid, I think the food, service, venue and experience measured up! They even provided complimentary sweet bites to celebrate our anniversary! The 7 courses felt more like a 10 course meal and it's too hard to pick a favourite dish! Would love to come back to try even more items off the menu!
Really enjoyed our meal here. It has a lovely sense of occasion with the view, nicely spaced tables, a rare lack of background noise (yes, you can actually talk without shouting) and polite but not overly casual service. We found the a la crate menu good value and the food well balanced and tasty. Wines are on the pricier side but the choice is good by the glass and mind blowing by the bottle. Value is even better if you have the Entertainment Guide.
Came here for my anniversary. Had an a la carte lunch. My partner isn’t that much into fine dining but he enjoyed it so much that he would most definitely come back here again. Service was great! The view was a bonus. Look forward to coming here again to try the new menu.
I took my best friend here for his birthday and we loved the experience. The waiters were extremely tentative and always made sure we had bread and out glasses full. It was way too formal for my liking and I felt like the waiters would never smile. (Fine dining is usually not my thing) The view looked amazing and the cutlery looked more expensive than the food. I ordered the two course meal for $65 dollars. I had the slow cooked pork for my entree and gnocchi for main. The pork was very tender and juicy and was well balanced with the sweet celeriac and apple. The gnocchi was very creamy but the serving size was way too small. We also ordered mr Chen’s crispy sausage which just tasted like sweet bacon with yogurt. As a side we ordered the beef fat potatoes; which just tasted like fatty potatoes. It was probably the most filling dish we had. It was an overall very nice experience and I enjoyed eating tiny portions of beautifully presented food.
Overall: I would recommend for a nice occasion. I would not go back there though
There are aspects of The Point Restaurant that are really inviting, however, I felt there was something missing in the ambience of the restaurant. In my opinion, it lacks soul and far too formal for my liking. Yes, my thoughts, however, it is possible to be formal, if that’s what you want to achieve, but the experience for the diner doesn't have to be quite so serious!
yummy xiaologbao:)good water view:)and friendly service, kids friendly:) really like it:) good place to relax and get together with friends:)
Went there yesterday for lunch, not a cheat eat but felt it was good value and would definitely go back for a special occasion. Was a bit shocked we were the only people there, had considered the city, but the view of the lake and being able to drive and park close (during the day, not sure about evening) attracted me. Our waitress was attentive without being intrusive, but the meal is one I will long remember. Very glad we picked the 3 course option. Arrive early. It's the sort of place and meal you want to enjoy and take your time over.
We had dinner here on Sat night. The 6 course degustation with wine match was great. Concept is simple but well done - doesn't have the same level of differentiation / uniqueness in the food as some other chef hatted restaurants at this price point but it's OK as each dish was very well cooked and great flavours - there was not one dish we didn't like. Sommelier was excellent. Has a nice relaxed and spacious feel which is good too. Would like to come back for a lunch session to really appreciate the views.
Top spot as far as location and views go. Had the the hapuka for entre and the eye fillet for main. The whole experience was good including the service. Spent a good afternoon there but have to say that nothing blew us away about the food. But you couldn't pick a better spot for a romantic date or an important business meeting.
