We had a fabulous dinner and experience at Point Seven. From the moment we entered everyone was extremely friendly and wanted to make our dinner a special experience. We were celebrating our 50th anniversary and Franklin Becker the chef/owner immediately came by to chat with us and welcome us. He stopped by a few times more to make sure everything was to our liking. The food was exceptional - loved the crab fritters and the octopus for appetizers. The seabass and the spaghetti with shrimp were the table favorites - but everything was excellent. Desserts as expected were terrific. Thank you to Point Seven and Chef Becker for the special dessert and the complimentary champagne. We will definitely return.
