the point

mmmmm, toinght was my 2nd visit to The Point, albany ny. i'm not a huge fan of ordering the same thing from the same restaurant, but their burger was SO bangin last time i had to do it again (i had previously put it in my top 3).

i started out with another True Blood martini (had to, it's sooo good (ruby red vod, muddled oranges & strawberries, pom liquor, portuguese desert wine, balsamic reduction rim)) and we split an order of the calamari which was yum. 


pardon the bad photo...phone camera doesn't
like to focus in dim light

i ordered the burger with cheddar, applewood bacon, medium rare, upgraded the fries to the black truffle fries, and got a side of the housemade gorgonzola dressing for dips. by the time i had my burger, i had a 2nd martini in hand, the Blueberry Basiltini (black cherry rum, basil simple syrup, white cranberries, muddled blueberries, basil leaf garnish... AAAAAAAAAAAAAH heaven).

by the time i was elbow-deep in the burger (which again... amazzzzzing prime rib patty which is ACTUALLY cooked to medium rare, soft glossy fresh baked  bun, great fixins even though u barely need them), the perfectly crisp earthy BT fries with the tangy creamy gorgonzola sauce and the muddled pulpy delicious martini i declared a complete and total burgorasm. EVERY part of my plate was heaven... all of my favorite things. usually it's great burger, forgetable fries, or great burger, but having a hum-drum drink. this is my heaven plate. i feel like i'm going to diiieee right now i'm so stuffed, but if i die tonight i'll be dying happy. 9 *********.
