Scals Trattoria - BLUE POINT

I celebrated my birthday dinner at this restaurant last November. I had recommended the food to my two sons who joined us that night. Unfortunately, there was a private party with a very loud and unpleasant DJ that disrupted our dining experience. We couldn't hear each other or our waiter, and considered leaving after placing our drink order. Despite the noise, the food was still great. I would advise calling ahead to check for any private events before visiting. This experience really affected our dinner, and it would have been the same even if the DJ had been good. I initially thought I had shared this feedback right after the meal, but I actually posted it on TripAdvisor.

The food was fair, but the portions were small and too expensive I wouldn't go back!

My entree was great, cooked just as i asked for it, well seasoned, decent sized portion. appetizers however were sub par. I think the apps at places like fridays are better. they were not cooked well, and poorly executed. Also, although this should never determine the recommendation of a resteraunt, i felt like all the waiters/bus boys were on summer vacation from high school. If i 'm paying a premium price for my food i feel like adults should be serving me. afterall 'blue ' is not 'friendlys '

The facility is beautiful. We were seated for dinner and were greeted by Jeanette 's 40th B-day Party of about 12 women. They were loud and disturbing to us and everyone in the restaurant. We complained and they were the topic of our conversation for most of the night. As dinner arrived we were offered to be moved to other locations but we declined. Appetizers of Tempura Shrimp and Calamari were ordered and the Calamari wasn 't that great and returned pretty much untouched. Our dinners included Seafood Tortelloni, Shirt Steak, Scallops and Tuna. The food was good. A round of drinks was received for our complaint and the Calamari was removed from the bill. The bar was excellent with a DJ for dancing. We stayed till close. We will go back.

I recently visited the restaurant for their Lobster Festival. The dining area was a bit cramped due to the buffet set-up, but the food was fresh and the buffet was well-maintained. I would definitely like to return. I have also dined there before with their regular menu and found the food to be very good.
