I've never commented as they clearly must be doing something right since so many people like it. My parents have always raved about Sandy Point, and my mother loves lobster.
But my one visit there was underwhelming. For me, atmosphere is a big part of the dining experience, and in my view, Sandy Point is seriously lacking here.
Several years ago, we went with a large group of Merrymeeting neighbors. We were seated in booths with cracked leather seats that appeared to have been there since the 60's. The rest of the decor seemed to match.
While we had a pleasant evening. The food was good, but not memorable. We agreed that it was an ok experience, but we have not gone back. We go out to resturants quite often as a group. We have yet to have someone request a return visit.
It's great that others like Sandy Point. Whatever rows your boat. But for this group of friends, it didn't work.
