Spread out over 10,000 square feet of hyper-modern decor and pulsating techno beats, BluePointe is the embodiment of slickness. On the surface, the restaurant is a concoction of spinning colors that reflect off of bold, brushed steel and bright tabletops. Dim lighting is created by daylight-shunning curtains that cover the mass of windows that line the restaurant. The expansive dining area takes up two floors, both of which are designed to ensure a reserved meal amid the energetic ambiance. Inside this space, (which is a lot like a nightclub), the fetching vibe is as important as the food's quality -- and the patrons know it. At BluePointe, the high-powered suits and higher-heeled ladies come to meet, greet and eat. They enjoy BluePointe's Pan-Asian treasures made of an ever-popular blend of New American mixed with bright flavors of the Far East. Meals often incorporate creative twists on old favorites. Begin with the shrimp dumplings glazed by toasted peanut sauce or the wok-fried calamari pasta sprinkled with asparagus and chili. A dependable choice is the cashew-crusted halibut with warm spring vegetables. For greater variety try the five-course tasting menu. There is also a variety plate of fresh sushi and sashimi. Once the sun sets, BluePointe is theatrically transformed into a mecca of hipness with bold colors and unsettled substance. Evening finds an array of professional thirty-somethings winding down the day. And if you'd like to join the crowd, visit BluePointe on Tuesday nights, when the girls drink complimentary fruity martinis while the men stand and watch them. Purchase a gift card to let your friends and family enjoy the experience. -- Lauren Strish
