Excellent meal at 5 Point Public House and Oyster Bar. They're open for dine in, but call for a reservation. I went stag, so I was able to take one of the three seats at the oyster bar. Everything was very good, but the fried cheese curds were amazing! The beer list is impressive and it's great that they offer 1/2 carafes of wine. There were five or six raw oyster choices, but only two were outside the gulf - VA and MD. I was expecting some AL farmed oysters, Point Aux Pins or Murder Points. The price was reasonable, between $2 and $2.50 each. I enjoyed the shrimp and grits. I'm more of a bacon, mushroom and green onion shrimp and grits fan. 5 Point's rendition favors cubed sausage and sweet peppers, but still well worth the $16 price. Not to be redundant, but the fried cheese curds were sublime.
This was my first visit and I took my spouse during the local restaurant week. We had baked oysters and I ate one even though I usually don't like them. It was the best I've eaten. We had the three course special menu and ordered different items to try including gumbo, salmon on risotto, shrimp and mussel pasta, and the incredible peach bread pudding. Our server was helpful and timed our courses well. We will definitely go back. I suggest taking friends and trying a variety of the menu to share.
Obviously you must try the oysters. For desert, the brownie fritter was amazing.
The Cheese Curds appetizer is sinfully good!! I almost missed out on this tasty dish because nothing about the name of the dish or the description made me want to try it, but oh am I glad I did. If you like cheese sticks you will love love love this. This takes cheese sticks to a whole new level of ooey goey goodness. And the dipping sauce is the icing on the cake!
