Pointe Dining

First time visit to Pointe Dining. A little off the beaten path, a few minutes northeast of Dover right off route 800. Plenty of parking out front. Visited on a Wednesday evening, and it was pretty hoppin'. For a starter, we got the Seafood Crock ($12). It was a cheesy, creamy mix of lobster and crab, served with fresh, crispy tortilla chips. It was way more meat than cheese, and really filling. Savory with just a touch of salt. 9.2/10Got a couple different entrees. The first was the pan fried perch ($19), and the other was their "small" prime rib ($23). We'll get to those in a moment. First, let's talk about the sides. Side Salad with two different dressings. The white French and Patty's Italian. The salad was your run of the mill side salad. But the dressings? *Chef's Kiss*. The white French was creamy, sweet and a little tangy. One of the best white French I've ever tasted. Then there was Patty's Italian. I think the Italian part might be a little misleading. I'd say more of a cross between a sweet n sour/poppy seed, and a traditional oil and vinegar. Whatever you want to call it, it's a must try. I found myself dipping the dinner roll in both salad dressing containers. 9.5/10. Next up, was the Pointe Pasta as a side (+$5 up charge). I wasn't sure what to expect with this one, but boy was I not disappointed. It was about the size of two sticks of butter next to each other, honestly big enough for two. They take pasta, give it an egg wash and chill overnight, add some seasoning, and then when it's ordered, it gets breaded and deep fried. They asked if I wanted red sauce or Alfredo, and I actually ended up doing half and half. It had a wonderful crunch from the breading, a savory goodness from the cheese and sauce, and a perfectly cooked pasta on the inside with just a hint of sweetness. Just imagine the best cheese stick of your life, only filled with pasta and topped with a cream sauce. Phenomenal. 9.7/10. The Honey Balsamic Glazed Brussels sprouts were another side. Pan fried in oil till nice and soft on the inside, and blackened/crispy on the outside. A wonderful mouthfeel with the crunchy and soft in each bite. The glaze was both sweet and tangy, and made every morsel delicious. Even though I was beyond stuffed at the end of the meal, I made myself finish the Brussels. They were that good. 9.4/10.The last side we got was the Parmesan risotto. As risotto goes, this was one of the better ones I've had. A nice creaminess without being watery. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. When this was the fourth best side, and still this good, you know you're having a good meal. 8.8/10. On to the entrees, which while both good, were almost upstaged by the sides. The "small" prime rib ($23) was small like a guy who is 6'10" nicknamed "Tiny". It was honestly huge. If there's a size bigger, I don't know how they'd plate it to be honest. It was thick cut, and came out precisely medium rare like I had requested. Swimming in their house au jus, and sprinkled with fresh peppercorn, it was a solid prime rib. Not the best I've ever had, but certainly up there. Like any good prime rib, you need to navigate around some fat, but that's part of the fun! 8.5/10. Lastly, there was the pan-friend lake perch. This is a Lake Erie white fish, pan seared wonderfully. Fish is fish, so nothing to report out of the ordinary, just a solid offering, particularly how it came out cooked and seasoned. 8.3/10. We were offered dessert but had absolutely nowhere to put it. If the desserts were anything like the mains, I'm going to go out on a limb and say they're pretty darn good. Our server was very friendly and prompt. Respect to her as well for taking an entire dining room by herself, and not making it feel that way. She, and one busser were a well oiled machine, and made everything about the meal a little better. 9/10. At the very end of the meal we were met by the owner, who couldn't have been nicer and more accommodating. She told us about a few other local must-try spots. Love to see local supporting local. Overall, this was an absolute home-run of a first visit. The food, service and everything in between was nearly flawless. Will 100% be adding this to my regular rotation of locally owned spots. Well done. FOOD: 9.5SERVICE: 9.5PRICE: $$$ of $$$$$OVERALL: 9.3/10

I usually do not order pork chops when I go to dinner. Mostly because they are dry and not cooked well. That was until I ordered the bourbon and apple pork chop. It was fantastic, great flavor and not over cooked. We also ordered the honey glazed salmon and it was just as good. Both of these are definitely good choices. And the prickly pear margarita was also fantastic.

We are driving across country from California to NJ and landed in New Philadelphia for 2 nights. We played golf at Shadow Oaks (a fabulous course) then looked for a dinner place. We checked online and stumbled upon Pointe Restaurant. It is as beautiful inside as the pictures online show. The folks were VERY nice and got us in on a Friday night. The food was delicious! We started with the roasted red pepper soup. Moved on to the lemon chicken with sun dried tomatoes, Brussel sprouts and risotto. OMG it was delicious! No dessert-we were stuffed. We vary our drive path, but have added this to our atlas notes to ensure we pass here again. Thank you !

Celebrating a birthday...came early because we had an infant with us. Ordered the seafood crock for the table. It was a bit salty. Each of our main dishes was very salty!!! When looking around we saw everyone had been given baskets of bread rolls. As a first visit it was disappointing! The final negative was not having a place to change an infants diaper!

We ordered the seafood, perch, steak sandwich, and a kids pasta. Our appetizers were the seafood dip, nachos, and cheese curds. All three were amazing. The dip is so good. The nachos are basic but in a very good way. Our main dishes were all very tasty. I would highly suggest the Brussel sprouts as a side. Hope you all have an equally good time!!

Let's first start off with our amazing server (Deanna). She was all about service and attentive to our table of six needs. Pointe should be excited to have you as part of their team. Now, let's talk about our culinary experience; however I'll point out my tasty nom noms. I was pretty basic with the beverages, until my crew coerced me into trying a (mini beer shot). Well, it turned out there is no beer and poured with Licor 43 and a float of heavy cream giving the appearance of a beer. I have to say, it was pretty good and because I don't often indulge it snuck up on me during my starter. I started off with the Mussels. These awesome things were the bomb. Tender and wonderful with a butter bath could have been placed in a cup and I would have drunk it. They were that darn good and is a MUST. I then opted for a salad with ranch dressing. Maybe it was the booze, but it was also amazing and I'm a Pescatarian and all I eat are salads and seafood. We also had fried pickles on the table and they were very tasty and I typically don't like them and ate (3). Now for my main dish: Honey Glazed Salmon which I ordered (medium) and it was perfectly cooked to temperature. The Brussel Sprouts are another MUST have and if I were alone, I would have ordered another order or two to go. Obviously there was no room for dessert for anyone, but it appeared that everyone else enjoyed their meal. I can only praise this establishment and will keep on supporting local business here in Tuscarawas County. Perhaps I'll check into seeing if they can cater at my facility one day. Keep up the great work and God Bless Deanna for making our experience so pleasurable. Shout Out to the Chef and other support at Pointe.

Came here with my sister for her birthday. She had already been once before and wanted to return for the prime rib. The staff was very friendly and helpful making sure we were taken care of. The place has a lot of interesting decorations that don't really seem to fit one theme. I started with the French onion soup which was very good. The onions were still a little solid but it was incredibly flavorful and I finished all of it. I got the shrimp and risotto with a loaded backed potato for my meal. Sadly this left me disappointed. For some reason my entire dish of shrimp and risotto had a very bitter flavor that was both unappealing and hurt my mouth. (We suspect a bad lemon might have been juiced into my dish because the normal risotto was very good) so I barely ate any of it and the baked potato was just ok. My sister also got a less quality slice of prime rib than she did last time which soured her enjoyment a bit (although she still enjoyed it) but my mother loved her salmon and Brussels sprouts. My creme brûlée dessert was perfectly adequate. I've had much worse creme brûlée but I've also definitely had much better. Perfectly fine describes it well. I'd be willing to return here despite my bad experience with my main meal do the quality of the soup and my mothers meal telling me their capable of more than I happened to receive this time.

Excellent food and atmosphere. My GF has a serious dairy allergy so getting her order correct is imperative. They were a little busy and understaffed when we went, so the kitchen ended up accidentally getting cheese in her salad. The server was very apologetic however and quickly switched it out and comped us our drinks to make up for the mistake. Definitely want to come try them again when they are not so frazzled because other than the order mixup it was a great experience.

Prime rib and steaks are excellent, and the lasagna is one of my faves. Awesome outdoor area when weather is nice. Fast and friendly service.
