Blue Point Grill celebrates 25 years of stellar seafood, service and setting in the Warehouse District
In 1997, partners George Schindler, Kay Ameen and David Hale grabbed the keys to an elegant 19th-Century Italianate-style building in the heart of the Warehouse District. Despite having two successful restaurants in their budding portfolio — Cabin Club and Salmon Dave’s — the partners did not yet know what kind of restaurant they wanted to open. What they were certain of, however, was that it was the right place and right time to open one.
After spending some time in the stunning space, a concept began to emerge. To the owners, features such as soaring ceilings, sweeping brick arches, expansive front windows and 18-foot columns crowned with gold capitals conjured nautical themes. With the help of designers, the space would take on the feel of the dining room on a luxury liner. Walls were opened up or removed altogether to connect adjoining properties and create 10,000 square feet of dining space.
“If from the very start you create a place known as the best seafood restaurant in town, it is very difficult for others to take that title away from you,” Schindler asserts.
